CITY of TUKWILA OFFICE of COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM 14 November 1977 TO: Kjell Sto es, Responsible Official FROM: Fred Satterstrom, Planning Supervisor SUBJECT: Salant /Mora Apartment Complex (66 -unit) FINDINGS: 1. The proposal is for 2 apartment buildings; Building D contains 39 units, Building E contains 27 units for a total of 66 units proposed. 2. The size of the subject site is approximately 1.9 acres. 3. Access to Building D is from South 152nd Street. 4. Access to Building E is from Macadam Road. 5. Exterior of Buildings D and E are basically identical in design and building materials to those of previous Salant /Mora proposal across South 152nd Street. 6. The site is zoned RMH. 7. As a result of the proposal: — the topography of the site will be affected, and the soil will be displaced and /or disrupted; — the ambient air quality will be adversely affected; the rate of surface water runoff will be increased, and the rate of groundwater recharge will be decreased; — the site's existing vegetation will be removed for the most part; following development, it will be replaced with landscaping; — wildlife habitat on the site will be diminished; — noise levels on the site will increase; — approximately 66 families or 126 persons will be added to the popu- lation of the City; 6230 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, Washington 98188 ® (206) 242 -2177 Memorandum • Page 2 Kjell Stoknes 14 November 1977 — 66 housing units will be added to the housing stock of the City; — additional vehicular traffic will be generated (approximately 259 average daily vehicle trips); 100 parking stalls will be created; — development will increase the need for fire, police, and other public services to this site; — development will result in need for water, sanitary and storm sewer utilities, as well as power and telephone utilities; — and, addition of 126 people will create need for recreation space and facilities. 8. Southernmost curb -cut to south parking lot is located approximately 180 feet from intersection of Macadam Road and South 152nd Street. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposal of 66 units on 1.9 acres represents about 35 units per acre. This density is equal to or greater than most apartment developments in the City. 2. The present condition of the site is vacant. The change to apartment development represents a significant change in use. 3. Although the intensity of the proposed development is quite high, the scale of the proposed development is not (only 1.9 acres). 4. There does not appear to be any major or significant adverse environmental effects as a result of the proposed action.
