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. ATTACHMENT D 45 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 46 ATTACHMENT D
