SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR ALL PROJECT AND NON- PROJECT PROPOSALS 1. What are the objectives of the proposal? The objective of this proposal is to alleviate the existing crowded parking condition for this site. Fatigue Technology, Inc. currently employs 90 persons. Although the existing number of parking stalls (39) on this site is in accordance with City of Tukwila zoning requirements, additional parking is needed. The proposed parking lot addition will provide 42 additional "Employee Only" parking spaces on the north side of the building. 2. What are the alternative means of accomplishing these objectives? The proposed parking lot addition will be located where no substantial landscaping currently exists. The only alternative location for a parking lot addition would at the southwest portion of the site where substantial lawn and landscaping currently exists. It is our opinion that it is the best interest of the property owner, as well as the City, not to disturb the existing substantial landscaping which currently enriches the community. 3. Please compare the alternative means and indicate the preferred course of action: As note above, the only alternate course of action would involve removal of a considerable amount of existing landscaping and replacement with a paved parking area. It is our opinion that the preferred course of action is to provide this paved parking area to the rear of the building (north) where it will not displace landscaping which currently enriches the community. Also, a parking area in this location will not be in the immediate view of the community at large, which will even further reduce any potential impacts of an additional parking area. 4. Does the proposal conflict with policies of the Tukwila Comprehen- sive Land Use Policy Plan? If so, what policies of the plan? No. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce the conflicts are: Not applicable. 1733.07 TO'BE.COMPLETED BY APPLICANT. E.

BACKGROUND 6. proposed tLming or schedule.. The proposed improvements to the existing building are scheduled to commence in October 1985 and be completed by December 1985. 7. future additions. expansions or further activity. None are anticipated at this time. 8. Environmental information which has been previously prepared.. None to our knowledge. 9. Other proposals pending, None to our knowledge. 10. Government approvals or permits required. Two variances are required to allow the proposed improvements which address pedestrian access and landscaping. Both variances were approved by the City of Tukwila Board of Adjustments on September 5, 1985. A building permit will also be required by the City of Tukwila Planning and Building Departments. 11. Description of project. The project will consist of the construction of approximately 42 parking spaces along the north side of an existing structure located at the northeast corner of Andover Park West and Baker Boulevard in Tukwila, Washington. The proposal also includes modifications to the existing rail line and storm drainage in the area. The portion of the site proposed to be utilized as parking does not have access and is currently lying fallow. The proposed parking lot addition will alleviate the existing crowded parking condition on this site. Although the building was originally constructed to be utilized as an industrial warehouse, the existing use which is also allowed under the current zoning 1733.06 -1- as well as by the comprehensive plan. is office space. As a result, a significant portion of the building is being used as office space. COnsequently, due to the number of people employed, the parking on the site is not adequate. The action has been initiated by the current building user, Fatigue Technology, Inc., and according to Mr. Burke Gibson, the company president, the parking situation on the site is extremely inadequate. The reviewer will also note, however, that the entire western portion of this site has been devoted to the planting of landscape and lawn area in excess of that normally required by the City of Tukwila zoning code. It is the objective of the current owner to maintain this existing landscape as much as possible and to utilize the rear of the existing building (which is not visible from either Andover Park West or Baker Boulevard) for the proposed parking facility. 12. Location of the proposal. The proposed construction is located on the north side of the existing Fatigue Technology Building located in the northeast corner of the intersection of Andover Park West and Baker Boule- vard in Tukwila, Washington. (Please see attached map for specific vicinity and proposal diagramatic representation.) 13. Comprehensive land use policy map. None to our knowledge. B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. Earth. a. The site Is very flat with cross slopes ranging between 1% and-3%. b. Approximately 3 %. c. The general soil type is sandy loam as characteristic of the lower Tukwila /Kent Valley. d. None to our knowledge. e. A nominal amount of filling will be required to construct the proposed improvements which will consist of general imported f i i I. The approximate amount of fill is estimated at 500 cubic yards. 1733.06 -2- f. A slight amount of erosion may be possible during the con- struction sequence which would expose the existing nominally vegetated soils. However, due to the sandy loam soil type and the flat grades involved, In our opinion, the probability of significant erosion occurring on the site would be nominal. g. The existing complex is approximately ten years old and the required open space /landscaped area existing on the site is far in excess of the city's requirement. The portion of the site proposed to be utilized for additional parking is lying fallow and in an area not visible from either Baker Boulevard or Andover Park West. The construction of the proposed parking will increase the coverage for the site by approximately 13 %. h. Because the erosion potential is nominal on this site, proposed measures to control erosion are not specified as part of this application. 2. flLC. a. Omissions in the form of diesel equipment exhaust would occur during the construction phase of this protect. However, no Tong -term omissions wi I I result from this proposal. b. None to our knowledge. c. None are proposed due to the insignificant omissions which will result during construction. 3. Water. a. Surface: 1) None to our knowledge. 2) None to our knowledge. 3) Not applicable. 4) None to our knowledge. 5) None to our knowledge. 6) The discharge of waste materials into surface waters is not proposed under this application. 1733.06 -3- l Ground: 1) Not to our knowledge. 2) Not applicable c. Water runoff: 1) The subsurface storm drainage system has been designed to accomodate the surface runoff from the proposed parking area as per the attached site Improvement plan. The system is designed to outlet to the existing storm drainage system located in Baker Boulevard. The subsurface storm drainage system flows west from the point of discharge from the site and eventually into the Green River located approximately one mile away. 2) Not in our opinion. d. None are proposed. The storm drainage system for the Andover Industrial Park was sized to accomodate the large stormwater flows of developments within its limits and no capacity problems have been noted. Stormwater detention is not required by the City of Tukwila Engineering Department. 4. Plants. a. A few oak trees are located within the area of the proposed parking lot construction. However, the remainder of this site Iles fallow with wild grasses and weeds of nominal height. b. All existing vegetation in the area will be removed. However, along then north property line a row of deciduous trees will be planted in accordance with the City of Tukwila landscape code. c. None to our knowledge. d. The enclosed plan indicates the planting of a dense landscape buffer along the northern property 1Ine as per the City of Tukwila zoning code requirements. 5. Animals. a. No animals are known to inhabit this portion of the site due to the relative proximity (adjacent to an existing 100,000 square foot warehouse). 1733.06 -4- b. None to our knowledge. c. None to our knowledge. d. None are proposed. 6. Energy and natural resources. a. A nominal amount of diesel fuel will be required to power construction vehicles during the construction phase of this proposal. b. None to our knowledge. c. None are proposed. 7. Environmental health. a. None to our knowledge. 1) Emergency services as generally required by construction activities will be required. 2) None are proposed. b. Noise: 1) None to our knowledge. 2) Noise levels would increase on a short -term basis due to the activity of construction vehicles in and around the site. However, on a long -term basis the proposal will not add to the existing ambient noise levels. 3) None are proposed. 8. Land and shoreline use. a. The current use of this site is as an industrial /office complex currently being utilized by Fatigue Technology, Inc. The adjacent properties in the area are used for light industrial business. b. Not to our knowledge. c. The existing structure on the site is a single - story, tilt -up construction warehouse building approximately 33,000 square feet in size. 1733.06 -5- d.
