We would like to submit written, public comments on the proposed
project located at 5200 Southcenter Blvd., Tukwila WA 98188, and
to be considered parties of record.
First, we would like to express our optimism regarding a more
finished appearance of the site that would result from the
development.
As would be expected with any neighboring properties, we have
some concerns regarding the development, regarding both short
and long term impacts.
The short term concerns would be relating to construction impacts.
A. We would request that the applicant ensures all their
contractors and sub - contractors comply with the noise
ordinance in Tukwila. The residential use on 52nd Ave. S. is
often overlooked, and as we experienced during Sound
Transit's construction, noise emanating from the 52nd Ave. S.
and Southcenter Blvd. area is both audible and a nuisance.
Frequently forgotten areas of compliance would include such
examples as early morning deliveries of equipment, pre -
construction staging, etc.

B. We would also request that the surrounding roadways be
swept and maintained during construction for the purpose of
adhering to Tukwila's established standards.
C. Thirdly, we would request that if the vacant lot on the NW
corner of 52nd Ave. S. and Southcenter Blvd. is expected to
be utilized as an extension of the construction site - staging,
parking, etc. appropriate mitigation be addressed proactively
to contain the negative impacts such as dust, dirt, etc.
The long term impact concern would be related to parking.
A. Currently the property has periodically utilized the vacant lot on
the NW corner of 52nd Ave. S. and Southcenter Blvd. for overflow
parking when their existing lot was insufficient. By expanding an
additional 14,395 ft2 of office space, what is the parking
mitigation proposal to accommodate the increased impact
associated with the expansion?
We look forward to seeing the development progress.
Sincerely,
Greg & Vanessa Zaputil
