Miles, Assistant Planner Sign Permit Application Drawings of proposed signs January 21, 2004 letter from City staff April 21, 2004, letter from City staff Steve Lancaster, Director 1. One January 15, 2004, Lumin-Art Signs submitted a sign permit application on behalf of TUFF Shed, located at 17500 West Valley Highway, in Tukwila, Washington. The property is zoned Commercial/Light Industrial (C/LI). 2. The sign permit application was for the installation of two wall signs. Sign one was 101.2 square feet in area and had the words "TUFF Shed" and contained the TUFF Shed logo. Sign two was 146.85 square feet in area and listed the 800 number for the business. 3. The application proposed that both signs be located on the west elevation of the building. The signs would have faced towards West Valley Highway. 4. Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 19.32.140 (A) notes that each business shall be permitted one exposed building face -mounted sign, unless certain criteria is met allowing an additional sign. Yet, TMC 19.32.140 (A) (2) only allows one sign per business on any exposed building face. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206-431-3670. • Fax: 206-431-3665 • 5. The size of wall signs is governed in the TMC under 19.32.140 (A) Table 1. The wall where the wall signs would be placed has a total area of 1,540 square feet. Using Table 1 of TMC 19.32.140 (A), the maximum permitted size of the sign could not be greater than 106.4 square feet. 6. In a letter dated, January 21, 2004, the City noted that the proposed signs did not meet the requirements laid out in title 19 of the TMC. Staff also noted that the maximum sign area could be increased if Special Permission is granted by the Community Development Director. The maximum wall sign size can be increased 50 percent for each doubling of the required setback. The application for Special Permission was included in January 21, 2004 letter. 7. The applicants did not respond to the January 21, 2004 letter. 8. On April 21, 2004, staff sent another letter to the applicant inquiring about the pending application. The letter gave the applicant until May 6, 2004, to revise the pending application with a sign that meets City Code. 9. No additional information was submitted as of 5 PM on May 6, 2004. CONCLULSION The sign application that was submitted on January 15, 2004 does not meet the City's standards set forth in Title 19 of the TMC for wall signs. Thus, the application is denied for the following reasons: 1. The proposed sign area is in excess of what is allowed in Title 19 of the TMC. 2. The applicant is proposing to install two wall signs on one exposed building face. 3. The applicant never responded to repeated requests from the City to amend the application.

St. NW Auburn, WA 98001 RE: TUFF SHED SIGN PERMIT (SO4-004) Dear Mr. and Ms. Braedt: On January 15, 2004, the City of Tukwila's Department of Community Development received a sign permit application for Tuff Shed located at 17500 West Valley Highway.

This letter is to inform you that if you wish to proceed with the sign permit application you have 14 -days from the date of this letter to submit a sign that meets City Code.

Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director January 21, 2004 Kirk and Nancy Braedt Lumin-Art Signs 3931 B St. NW Auburn, WA 98001 RE: TUFF SHED Sign Permit (SO4-004) Dear Mr. and Ms. Braedt: The City received you sign application for installation of new signage at 17500 West Valley Highway. The application was deemed complete on January 21, 2004. Based upon a review of the application, the application cannot be approved as submitted; the sign does not meet code. 1) The proposal calls for two wall signs on one wall. Tukwila Municipal Code 19.32.14 only allows business to have one wall sign per exposed building face. 2) The only way the proposed signage could be allowed is by drawing one solid box around the entire sign area, including the logo. Yet, the sign area for the signs would be greater than what is allowed. The total sign area cannot exceed 106.4 square feet. It is possible to increase the maximum sign area to 159.6 square feet. This is allowed for each doubling of the required setback for the underlying zone. The front setback for this zoning district is 15 feet. Thus, the building in question must be setback 30 feet to qualify for the increase. This will require Special Permission from the Director of Community Development. The application material is enclosed with this letter. You next step is to address the comments in this letter and submit the necessary revisions. If you have any question1 please all (206) 431-3684 or send an email to bmiles s ci.tukwila.wa. Brandon J. Miles Assistant Planner cc.
