Miles, Assistant Planner A: Sign Drawings submitted by applicant B: Site Plan submitted by applicant C: Photo of Roma Sign D: Letter from City to applicant dated April 28, 2004 E: Letter from City to applicant dated May 5, 2004 FINDINGS: 1. On April 12, 2004, Michael Springer submitted a sign permit application to install a freestanding sign at 17600 West Valley Highway. 2. The sign permit application was deemed complete on April 27, 2004. 3. There is one large multi -tenant building located on the subject property. 4. A freestanding sign is defined as a sign installed on a permanent foundation, not attached to a building or other structure (TMC 19.08.070). 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206-431-3670 • Fax: 206-431-3665 • • 5. The sign would have had a height of three feet, double faced, with each face having a sign area of 15.33 square feet. The sign would have been 12 feet from the nearest property line. (Attachment A) 6. The sign meets all design standards set forth in Title 19 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. 7. There is currently a large freestanding sign on the property. Roma Furniture is using the sign for advertising purposes (Attachment B and C). 8. Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 19.32.140 notes, "One freestanding sign shall be permitted for each site." There are code provisions that allow for an additional freestanding sign, yet this property does not qualify for any of those provisions. 9. The City noted to the applicant, in two letters, that the proposed sign would not be allowed because there was an existing sign on the property (Attachment D and E). CONCLUSION The property in question is only permitted to have one freestanding sign. The application for an additional sign would add an additional sign on the property that would not be permitted under Title 19 of the TMC. The sign permit application is denied.

When the decision to go ahead was made Iliad informed our client aware that Tukwila, Sign Code as applied to the site allows only one free standing sign. The client decided at that time to apply for the sign permit with the intention of going through the variance process. I had been informed by your office of the present'situation, arid our client has been informed. They talked to the landlord representative, David • Bromel, who gave his permission to Teague to install a sign at the site. I am including a copy of .a.letter from the landlord to Teague to that effect. ' I understand that the sign permit application as/it stands will be denied.

Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director April 28, 2004 Mr. Michael Springer Trade -Marx 3614 6th Avenue S Seattle, WA 98134 RE: Notice of Complete Application Teague Sign Permit Application (SO4-034) Dear Mr. Springer: On April 12, 2004, the City of Tukwila received a sign permit application to install a freestanding sign at 17616 W. Valley Highway in the City of Tukwila. Based on a review of your application for submittal requirements for a sign permit, your application is deemed complete as of April 27, 2004. As has been noted, under Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 19.32.140 (D), this site is only permitted to have one freestanding sign. There is an existing freestanding sign on the property that is being utilized by Roma Furniture. Roma Furniture refaced the sign without a permit and has submitted a sign permit application for the work they have already performed. It is the responsibility of the landlord not the City to determine how signage is utilized on the site. The City only ensures that the proper City regulations are being met in regards to total number of signs, allowable sign area, location, setback, and height. Staff would suggest that the tenants and landlord find a solution that allows Teague, Roma, and any other tenants who desire a freestanding sign, to share one sign as is required under the TMC. This property would be permitted to have a large sign area, which could easily accommodate many tenant spaces. The landlord needs to inform the City, by writing, how the signage allotments for the property will be utilized. Attached you will find a letter that the City sent the property owner. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206-431-3670 • Fax: 206-431-3665 • This determination of complete application does not preclude the ability of the City to require that you submit additional plans or information, if such information is necessary to ensure the project meets the substantive requirements of the City or to complete the review process. If you have any questions, please call (206) 431-3684 or send an email to bmiles@ci.tukwila.wa.us. Sincerely, Brandon J. Mil Assistant Planner cc. Nora Gierloff Tanning Supervisor File (SO4-031, SO4-034) City of Tukwila Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director April 20, 2004 Mr. David Bromel 3409 S. Laurelhurst Dr. NE Seattle, WA 98105 RE: Property Located at 17616 West Valley Highway Dear Mr. Bromel: City records list you as the property owner for the above address located in the City of Tukwila. Earlier this month City staff noticed that Roma had altered the freestanding sign located at the property. Additionally, Roma also installed a wall sign on the building. This work was done without a sign permit, done in violation of City Code. After receiving a pre -citation letter from the City's Code Enforcement Officer, Roma Furniture submitted for a sign permit. A few days after Roma submitted, Teague, another tenant on the property also submitted to install a freestanding sign. Under Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 19.32.140, your property is limited to having one freestanding sign. According to the application submitted by Teague, there is 400 feet of frontage along West Valley Highway, which would allow a freestanding sign to have up 200 square feet of sign area. Ideally both Roma and Teague could share one sign. The City has asked Roma to submit a letter from the property owner indicating that they have permission to change the face of the freestanding sign. Roma Furniture has yet to submit this letter and has not be corporative in repeated requests to resolve this matter. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206-431-3670 • Fax: 206-431-3665 I am writing to you today to ask your help in this matter. Does Roma have exclusive rights to use the freestanding sign on your property? If so, no other freestanding sign can be installed on the property. Thus, Teague's sign permit application would have to be denied. Is it possible to allow Teague and Roma to share one freestanding sign? This would allow both businesses to address their sign needs while complying with the City's sign code. If you have any questions, please call me at (206) 431-3684 or send an email to bmiles@ci.tukwila.wa.us. Sincerely, on J. Miles Assistant. Planner cc.

Dimple Sodni, Manager Roma Furniture 17600 West Valley Hwy Tukwila, WA 98188 RE: Sign Permit Application Dear Ms. Sodni: As noted at the front counter on Wednesday, April 7, 2004, the City will require a letter from the property owner regarding installation of the freestanding sign on the property. This letter must include the following: 1. Express permission allowing Roma Furniture to change the face of the pole sign on the property. 2. The property owner also needs to note that he understands that his property will not be permitted any other freestanding signs. The Tukwila Municipal only allows each premise to have one freestanding sign (TMC 19.32.140 D). Other businesses on the property will not be able display a freestanding sign unless it is a shared sign with Roma Furniture.
