Dear for. Brown
Mail - Lindsay.Brown@TukwilaWA.gov
'fharik you for your work In plarining the new remodels and adcliLlons to the Tukwila School District After reviewing the SE PA mitigated detran-nination of non signific.ance I have some
concerns and conrinients about sorne of the statements lIbat have been made My nates ate as follows:
Reduction of parking -ThrouglbouiL the rei)W there is riention of a redwicm of parking. As a resident I have seen the pail lots fill to capacity. At drop off and peck up dines residential
svoets along 140', are filled with parents who sit ide wahing for thou children to be out of school. This is a (onstarit Inconvenience to me and my neighbois and a reduction of pailking
would Sure to add to this.
When specialty events happen, personal (,frivessays are again used for parking. This o,iows that there is a need for additional parking at these, facilmes, and a reduction of parking would but
an undue;, burden of the cesidents, near the school.
Mailing-'l li was a note that a gene4 aviiiing llst was sent on 1/19/2017. that was not delivered to my address. I HAVE NOT received any communication from titer sch(.6 distiict abouP this
project.
Impervious streets- ti looks to be a redociJoin of Irnp.7rvlolus S(prfaoas at Foster, but the addition of 40',X, with the construction of Ilse isirth center. Aie there arty environrnental or design
elements that will mitigate the effects of this water runciff?
Air -f oinl� 8 stal�es `p6` s -cclnstrucficinc errilssion will be emirely related to vehicijlal and bus till Is ftiere any rifisi'mation regarding these ti fps and the effect on the ak quaktyy. Wdl effect will
the addition of 80 parking spots do to the neighborhood around the i center. "Are fli signs that wit be posted directing patrc'ms to riot leave tlheii car efe" How will that district i egrilsae
this statements that "transportation vell will not ii (Ile"?

Plants-I woulid like to know ffie reason wiry veer will be ternoved, spedfically if they need to be iernovtrd for the healfli of the Itee, I would like to kiiow ",lbaf happened? I have a sincere
concern about the tcrtped/ decaying tr(sO.S that are on the Fos rsr Property as it is.
POINT 21 - Point 21 say, Ihat �, dmol needs to grow III order to m(ommodWe gnmoh in the (ornproh(mwe plan, however growlih is not Rotes �a,tedl for Feaster High S&Ioal. So why are we
doim9 this project?
CONTEXTUALLY SENSITIVE BUILDING MATERIALS- Wfl,q Inatenais Specifically? Will they adhere* to the design guKlelhnes of 0io crunem building faa iide?
No recreational uses will be displaced- open green slI wIlil be reduced by the construe lion of tire brah-to-kindergar-len center.
CONDITIONAL VARIANCE , see that they hool district has applied for a conditional vai iarnce for reduction of parking, I do not see the need fora conditional vrarlance otu these proiect. I
believe liv, school district should abide by current parking ordinances within 0* code.
Ronk you fC,n YCKIr h(?I[D WIth the. Pr`0JHCt I appredatc-, you takIng the time to Inok through my citizen's corni'ments If you need any further clanfication, please do not healate to each ouIr to
Inie.
