Elevations of the existing street and surrounding areas will necessitate the need to fill the lower, developable portions of the site. An engineered fill will ensure that soil bearing 'capacities are adequate for the proposed improvements, and eliminate the problem of flooding or ponding that now exists. 3. Of the 3.4 :acres to be developed, approximately 15% will be landscaped; with the remaining ground surface sealed:'by parking and building area. Surface water concentrations in the sealed area will be collected and placed into the city storm drainage system, thereby removing that water from the ground water cycle. This would add additional load to storm sewer system and cause some depletion of the ground water, however this change would be insignificant. . Surface waters now occuring on the.site during ,wet months will be eliminated which would be ari advaritagein an urban area. 4. Ornamental landscaping will replace the weeds and grasses now growing on the site. The hillside above will be undisturbed. 7. Parking lot lighting and building signs will add to the ambient lighting. This lighting can be focused and directed to minimize its effect on the remaining residences to the north. 8. The present use of the subject property is residential as is the present zoning. The proposed development will necessitate the need for a rezone to C -2, which is consistent with the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 12. A single family dwelling now occupies the northerly portion of the site. As the house would be demolished in favor of new development, it is assumed that demand for a new house would be created. The suitablity of the property for new housing is questionable due to its commercial surroundings, and the high cost of land. It is also inconsistent with the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 13. The proposed retail development will draw traffic and create additional vehicular movement in the area, however the primary attraction of the property is the high volume of existing traffic. We would hope to draw from that traffic rather than try to create. a significant increase. Existing parking will not be affected, while all new demand for parking will be accommodated'..on site». • • City of Tukwila Environmental Checklist Form Explanation $ Comments Page 2 14. The proposed development will require police and fire protection, however, it is located in an area already well served by those agencies.
