Vicinity/Site Information
Project Description
The applicant is proposing to construct a 17,000 square foot commercial structure with associated parking
on 2.35 acres within a Commercial/Light Industrial District of the City. The building will be devoted to
warehouse and office use. A large parking area for construction equipment will be located in the rear of
the building.
Existing Development
The site is currently undeveloped land. It appears that in the past this site had been used as a location for
fill. The applicant's geotechnical report (Cornerstone Geotechnical Engineering Report, received by the
City on December 11, 2006) indicated a significant amount of fill and other materials at a depth of
approximately 10-12 feet. The site also contains deposits of kiln ash which is a heavy metal and is
considered a toxic substance by the Washington State Department of Ecology. It appears that the kiln ash
migrated onto the site from an adjacent parcel.
The east portion of the property contains a very steep slope (excess of 40 percent). This slope is highly
vegetated with mature trees and landscaping.
Along the eastern edge of the property is a portion of Southgate Stream. The Stream is in the right of way
for S. 134`h Place.
The site has a very odd shape. The front portion of the property is narrow, approximately 97 feet wide.
The property widens towards the middle and rear of the property.
Surrounding Land Uses:
Surrounding land uses are commercial and industrial in nature. Single family residential uses are located
to the west along Macadam Road S.
Topography:
The site has a mix of topography. As noted, the west portion of the property contains a steep slope in
excess of 40 percent. No construction activity is proposed on this slope. After the toe of the slope the
property generally has a slope of 5 percent. Near S. 134th Place, the slope of the property is generally
from 15-17 percent with a down slope towards S. 134th Place South.
Vegetation:
As noted, the site is undeveloped. Mature landscaping is located on the steep slope on the western portion
of the property. Outside of this area, the vegetation consists mainly of shrubs and blackberries. Several
medium sized trees are located along S. 134th Place S. These trees are within the buffer area for the
stream.
Background
The applicant also has a pending application to reduce the buffer of the type II stream which is adjacent to
the property. The City's Environmental Regulations require a 100 -foot buffer from a type II stream. The
applicant has proposed to use the buffer area for parking and to place a stormwater detention vault.
B. Miles Page 2 06/21/2007
H:\Developments\4501 Building\Staff Report.doc

Additionally, the water from the storm vault will discharge into the stream. Any request to reduce a
stream buffer or to discharge stormwater into a buffer or stream requires Special Permission from the
Community Development Director. The City and the applicant have agreed in principle to reduce the
buffer by 40 feet. This would leave a buffer area of approximately 60 feet. The exact details of the buffer
enhancement are still being worked out by staff and the applicant. Grading activity may not occur within
the existing 100 -foot buffer zone until the Director has approved the Special Permission request.
Findings -Decision Criteria -Design Review
The project is subject to the design review criteria laid out in Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.60.050
(B).
In the following discussion, the TMC Design Guidelines are shown below in bold, followed by staff's
comments. The applicant's response to the design criteria is included as Attachment D.
1. Relationship of Structure to Site
A. The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with streetscape and to
provide for adequate landscaping and pedestrian movement.
The applicant is proposing to construct a Light Industrial building within the C/LI district of the City.
Vehicular and pedestrian access to the City will be via a private access road. The access road is on an
adjacent parcel and the applicant has obtained an easement to utilize the tract.
A five foot paved pedestrian access will extend from S. 134th Place S to the entrance of the building.
The first 60 feet of the site will be utilized as an enhancement for the stream buffer located in the
front of the property. This enhancement will include removal of invasive vegetation, tree plantings,
retention of existing trees, and the installation of shrubs and native grasses.
Parking for the proposed building will be located in the front of the building. Perimeter and parking
landscaping will be provided in the front portion of the site. Pedestrian connections are not proposed
to the surrounding properties. An eight foot tall fence will be constructed to separate the applicant's
property from the two neighboring properties.
B. Parking and service areas should be located, designed, and screened to moderate the visual
impact of large paved areas.
The front portion of the property will be utilized for parking. The parking will be screened from S.
134th Place by the 60 foot wetland enhancement area.
A large service area is proposed in the rear of the building. The proposed use for this area is to store
contractor equipment (trucks, heavy machines, etc). The building has been positioned to screen the
service area from S. 134th Place. The storage area does border Macadam Road South. Macadam
Road South is at a significantly higher elevation than the applicant's project. As noted, a large
downward slope extends east of Macadam Road South towards the applicant's property. This slope
area contains a significant number of mature trees which will be retained as part of this project.
C. The height and scale of each building should be considered in relation to the site.
B. Miles Page 3 06/21/2007 3
H:\Developments\4501 Building\Staff Report.doc
•
The C/LI allows a maximum height of 45 feet. The proposed building will have a high point of
approximately 32.5 feet. The building will have a street facade of approximately 140 feet. However
the visibility of the facade is minimized by the vegetation in the 60 foot stream buffer. The
surrounding buildings have a street facade ranging from 120 to 175 feet. The surrounding buildings
range in height from 25 to 30 feet in height.
The proposed building may appear taller than the building to the north, but that is because the finish
floor elevation of the building to the north is ten feet lower that the applicant's property.
2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Areas
A. Harmony on texture, lines, and masses is encouraged
The applicant's building will utilize varying elevations and color. The east elevation for the building
includes varying elevations to provide vertical modulation. No vertical modulation is proposed along
the west elevation or the south elevation. Minor vertical elevation is proposed along the north
elevation. Windows are used on all elevations to provide horizontal modulation.
A cornice is provided along the roofline of the entire building. The cornice provides more horizontal
modulation for the building.
The building is being developed to provide two separate suite areas. Each suite area would include its
own main entrance on the east elevation. The entrances will be recessed back with the 2"d floor
extending over the entry doors. This provides a small entry feature for the building.
The main building material is colored concrete. CMU brick is used in the front of the building.
Landscaping is provided directly adjacent to the east elevation of the building. Once mature, this
landscaping will visually break up the mass of the front facade of the building.
B. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties should be provided
Upon completion, the landscaping along the north and south property lines will comply with the
City's landscaping requirements.
No additional perimeter landscaping will be required on the west property line because this area
contains mature landscaping. The TMC requires 12.5 feet of landscaping along the front property
line. However, since the front portion of the property will contain a 60 foot enhanced stream buffer
additional perimeter landscaping is not needed.
C. Public buildings and structures should be consistent with the established neighborhood
character.
Not applicable as the applicant's building is not public.
D. Compatibility of vehicular pedestrian circulation patterns and loading facilities in terms of
safety, efficiency and convenience should be encouraged.
As noted, access to the site will be via a shared access drive. Access to the parking area is from two
curb cuts, one located right off of the access drive and the other when the access drive makes a 90
degree turn. The access drive extends to the rear of the building to provide access to the rear storage
B. Miles Page 4 06/21/2007 4
H:\Developments\4501 Building\Staff Report.doc
area. Most of the parking is isolated from the main access drive. This separation reduces conflicts
between users of the parking lot and through traffic on the access drive. Some conflict may exists of
users of the parking stalls directly next to the access road. These users would have to back up onto
the access drive in order to maneuver on the site. A fire -turn around is provided in the rear of the
building. Parking and service areas have been separated from each other.
E. Compatibility of on-site vehicular circulation with street circulation should be encouraged.
The project will utilize an existing access drive and no new access points are proposed along S. 134th
Place.
3. Landscaping and Site Treatment
A. Where existing topographic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a development, they
should be recognized, preserved and enhanced.
A significant number of trees will be retained on site after completion of this project. The trees
located in the rear of the property along the steep slope will remain and provide an excellent screen
for the single family homes along Macadam Road S. The applicant has proposed to retain several
trees located along S. 134th Place South. These trees are within the buffer area for the stream and may
have to be removed as part of the stream enhancement project. However, a significant number of
trees will be planted within the mitigation area.
There are several trees located off-site directly to the north of the applicant's property. These trees
are not going to be removed, however, the grading activity on the site could damage the root system
of these trees. Planning staff has provided a condition to address this concern.
B. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces and other paved areas should promote safety and
provide an inviting and stable appearance.
The site will utilize differing paving materials to differentiate between the pedestrian walkway and
drive paths. Additionally, the pedestrian walkway will be slightly higher than the drive path.
C. Landscaping treatment should enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas and
important axis, and provide shade.
Building perimeter landscaping is provided along the front of the building. When mature this
landscaping will break up the facade of the front portion of the building. The access drive is lined
with trees which provide a site entry feature.
D. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor traffic,
mitigation steps should be taken.
The applicant has proposed curbs around all landscaped areas to prevent damage to plantings from
automobiles.
E. Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees or shrubs in paved areas is
encouraged.
B. Miles Page 5 06/21/2007 5
H:\Developments\4501 Building\Staff Report.doc
•
Landscaped areas have been provided within the parking areas. The landscaped areas comply with
the City's requirements for landscaping within parking areas. Landscaped areas will also be provided
near the main entrances to the building.
F. Screening of service yards, and other places that tend to be unsightly, should be
accomplished by the use of walls, fencing, planting or combination.
The service yard for the site will be located behind the building and thus not visible from S. 134th
Place. The topography and trees on the site will screen the service yard from Macadam Road S.
The dumpster will be located along the north property line and will be enclosed with tilt up concrete
walls.
G. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences, walls, and
pavings of wood, brick, stone, or gravel may be used.
This provision is not applicable to this project. The applicant has noted in the narrative, "Gravel will
be used in areas where parking overhang will cause planting to be ineffective". However, the
landscaping plans make no such indications on where these areas are. The City requires that ground
cover achieve 90 percent coverage within three years of planting.
H. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining
landscape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a design and size compatible with
the building and adjacent area. Lighting should be shielded, and restrained in design.
Excessive brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided.
The applicant has proposed lighting on the building and with the parking area. A final design was not
provided for the design of the light fixtures. Staff has provided a condition to ensure that the light
fixtures are consistent with the building and site design.
4. Building Design
A. Architectural style is not restricted; evaluation of a project should be based on quality of its
design and relationship to its surroundings.
The proposed building is approximately 17,000 square feet in size. The building is two stories and is
being built to house two tenants. Large service doors are provided in the front and rear of the site.
The materials for the building are concrete and CMU brick. However, the use of the CMU brick is
very limited and will only be used as an accent in the front of the building.
The building has a degree of vertical modulation on the east (front) and north (side) elevation.
Windows are used to provide a small amount of horizontal modulation on all elevations.
A cornice is proposed around the entire roof line.
B. Buildings should be appropriate scale and in harmony with permanent neighboring
developments.
B. Miles Page 6 06/21/2007 6
H:\Developments\4501 Building\Staff Report.doc
The surrounding buildings are light industrial in nature. The surrounding buildings have an average
height of 29 feet and have street facades ranging in length between 120 and 175 feet. The applicant's
proposed building will be approximately 32.5 feet tall and will have a street facade of 140 feet.
C. Building components such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets should have good
proportions and relationship to one another. Building components and ancillary parts shall
be consistent with the anticipated life of the structure.
The proposed building will mainly be constructed with colored concrete. A small amount of CMU
will be used in the front partition of the building. Windows have been placed in aluminum sash. A
cornice has been placed around the top of the parapet. Exterior doors will have a metallic color.
D. Colors should be harmonious, with bright or brilliant colors used for accent.
The building will utilize earth tone colors. The front portion of the building will feature three colors,
dark brown is used to create symmetry and two different tan colors are used to provide horizontal
modulation.
The other sides of the building will only feature the two tan colors.
The applicant has not included colors for the proposed dumpster enclosure.
E. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or buildings should be
screened from view.
The mechanical equipment will be placed within the parapet on the roof. The equipment will not be
visible from S. 134th Place, since S. 134th Place South is at a down angle from the building. During
winter months, when the trees on the steep slopes are dormant, the mechanical equipment may be
visible from Macadam Road S.
F. Exterior lighting should be part of the architectural concept. Fixtures, standards, and all
exposed accessories should be harmonious with building design.
The applicant has noted that lighting will be provided on the building, within the service area, and
within the parking area.
G. Monotony of design in single or multiple buildings should be avoided. Variety of detail,
form and siting should be used to provide visual interest.
The project proposes both vertical and horizontal modulation. There is only one building proposed,
so monotony of design of multiple buildings is not a concern.
5. Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture
A. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture should be designed to be part of the
architectural concept of design and landscape. Materials should be compatible with
buildings, scale should be appropriate, colors should be in harmony with buildings and
surroundings, and proportions should be to scale.
The rear portion of the site will be utilized as contractor storage yard. The applicant has proposed to
construct a chain link fence around this portion of the property. The fence ranges in size from six feet
B. Miles Page 7 06/21/2007 7
H:\Developments\4501 Building\Staff Report.doc
•
along Macadam Road South to eight feet along the north and south property lines. A gate will be
provided along the access road to restrict access to the rear portion of the property. The site map
(sheet Al) notes that the fence will be dark green on the north and south property line. However, no
such note is provided for the portion of the fence along Macadam Road South.
TMC 18.52.040 (F) requires that any fence be placed on the interior side of any required landscaping.
The landscaping plan (sheet L 1) shows that this requirement will be met on the north property line,
but not on the south property line.
B. Lighting in connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture should meet the
guidelines applicable to the site, landscape and buildings.
No street furniture will be provided with this project.
DESIGN REVIEW CONCLUSIONS
Design Review Guidelines
Relationship of Structure to Site:
The proposed development has been designed to meet the functional requirements for this type of
land use while being responsive to the special characteristics of the site. The building is
proportion to the property size. The new building will meet all required setbacks.
Typically, the City encourages that parking be located in the rear of a site. However, given the
odd shape of this property, the uses for the front portion of the property are very limited and thus
using this area for parking is appropriate.
Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Areas:
The proposed buildings form and scale is in keeping with the existing development in the area.
The buildings height and form is consistent with other development in the area.
Landscape and Site Treatment:
The applicant will install landscaping that meets the City's landscaping requirements within the
Commercial/Light Industrial Zone. The applicant will install a significant amount of perimeter
landscaping and interior landscaping. All landscaped areas will have automatic irrigation and the
applicant will be required to maintain the landscaping for the life of the project (TMC 8.28.180).
The landscaping plan failed to provide the required number of trees to be planted on the north
property line. Planning Staff has provided a condition to address this concern.
Building Design:
The proposed building is of comparable scale with buildings in the neighborhood and has been
painted with colors that will make it harmonious with adjacent buildings and the hillside behind
the building. The design is appropriate for the light industrial nature of the area.
Miscellaneous Structure and Street Furniture:
B. Miles Page 8 06/21/2007 8

•
Given that the rear portion of the site will be utilized for storage it is appropriate to secure the
area with fencing. However, the fence needs to comply with the requirement to place the fence
on the interior side of the required landscaping. Parameters should also be placed to ensure that
the fences do not hinder the ability to maintain the landscaped areas. This can be accomplished
by placing gates along the fence line. The fence along Macadam Road should also be dark green.
Design Review Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the 4501 Building application with the following conditions:
General
1. Prior to issuance of the building permit, the applicant shall submit specifications for the
light standards and building light fixtures to be approved by the Director of Community
Development. The light standards and fixtures shall have a design and color which is
harmonious with the building site.
2. The site map shall be updated to show the location of bicycle parking for the site. Per
figure 18-7 of Title 18 the site is required to have two bicycle parking stalls. The
Director shall approve the location and design of the parking stalls. However, the
Director shall not approve a design which will require the removal of any landscaping
approved by the Board of Architectural Review.
3. The fence along the south property line shall be placed within the interior of the five foot
landscape strip.
4. In order to maintain the north and south landscaped strip, a gate shall be added on the
north fence and the south fence.
5. The chain-link fence along Macadam Road South shall be dark green.
6. Barbwire shall not be used on the chain-link fence along Macadam Road South.
7. The concrete walls for the dumpster enclosure shall be painted to match the color of the
primary building. The proposed black chain-link fence with wood slats shall be replaced
green chain-link fence (same fencing material as the perimeter fence) with wood slats.
Site Design
1. The Director shall have the authority to relocate the pedestrian connection in order to
minimize any impacts to the stream and/or associated buffer.
Landscaping
1. Prior to issuance of the building permit, the landscaping plan shall be amended to add
five trees within the north landscaped area. This is required in order to comply with
TMC 18.52 "Landscaping, Recreation, Recycling/Solid Waste Space Requirements".
2. At the time of construction, tree protection fences shall be placed around the trees on the
neighboring north property. The fences shall be placed one foot for every inch in height.
No grading activity shall occur within these protected areas.
Signage
1. All future signage for the site must be submitted to the City for review as a minor
modification to the approved design review application.

Project Consistency Narrative
4501 BUILDING
1. Relationship of Structure to Site
a. The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with
the streetscape and to provide for adequate landscaping and
pedestrian movement.
Response:
The property to be developed is located between two streets, Macadam
Road on the west and S 134th Place on the east. Previously the site,
except the west which is a steeply sloped, was graded and used as a
storage area. At the east there is a drainage channel next to S. 134th PI.
which is considered a class III stream from which development will be set
back 50 feet.
The proposed design utilizes natural features at the east and the west as
transition to the existing street. At the west the existing mature site
obscuring vegetation provides a buffer that averages 100 feet, which
results in an excellent transition to the residential zoning west of Macadam
Road.
S. 134th PI. on the east is about 20 feet lower than the proposed building
and 10 feet lower than the east end of the parking area. Adjacent to the
street is a 50 foot stream buffer. Within the buffer there are existing trees
which screen the upland part of the site from the street. After the buffer
planting is installed, the planting will almost obscure the view of all but the
upper portion of the building facade.
The combination of new and existing planting and the topographic feature
of the site provide an excellent transition between the streetscape and the
site.
The site is accessed from S 134th Place which has no current sidewalks
along either side of the street. As a result there are no pedestrian routes in
the area in the public way.
The development however, to insure safe access, provides a 5 ft. wide
pedestrian concrete sidewalk along the edge of the private entry drive to
the public way.

b. Parking and service areas should be located, designed and screened
to moderate the visual impact of Targe paved areas.
Response:
The proposed development locates the building in the middle of the site in
the only area of the site which can be reasonably developed with a
structure. This location utilizes the existing topography and current grading
to develop a facility that generally separates parking from service and
storage area.
The site design as designed has a 50 foot planted buffer along its eastern
boundary and a natural buffer along it west boundary that obscures views
from off site. Along the north border of the site is an existing industrial park
and at the south side is a commercial development.
The adjoining property to the north is an industrial park. Along the eastern
portion of the north lot line of the park is existing landscaping and mature
trees. At the western section is an existing building wall of about 30 feet in
height that has no landscaping next to the wall and no windows.
The neighboring property to the south has two buildings on it. The western
building is a warehouse. Its north wall has no windows and roof level is
about 35 feet above existing grade of the 4501 Building site. The second
building to the east is a house used as an office with storage in the
basement. Windows in the facade will look to the north toward the
proposed building.
The building as designed and located on the site has an entry area for
offices in the middle which will be visible once you enter the shared
driveway. To the north of the entry, on the east facade, screened from the
street and separated from parking, is first a drive in door and then a dock
height door. The dock high door is placed at the most northerly location to
take advantage of the existing topography and screen from the adjoining
industrial parking with landscaping.
The general parking area for the building is located between the front of the
building and the street. Handicap parking and convenience parking is
located at the building entry. The site as currently shown provides
landscaping along the perimeter of the parking areas and landscape
islands at the ends of parking rows. As such, its design moderates the
visual impact of the paved area.
Project Consistency Narrative
4501 BUILDING
Page Three
Located on the west side of the building are several service doors that
open toward the service yard to the west of the building. The locations of
the adjoining building, the existing topography and landscaping makes the
area to the west of the proposed building a good location for the service,
storage and loading areas because it is obscured from view from the
streets and have little impact on neighboring uses.
c. The height and scale of each building should be considered in
relation to its site.
Response:
The surrounding properties are currently developed with industrial
buildings. These buildings are generally tilt up concrete, some with
windows, with a smooth painted finish which are about 25 to 35 feet in
height. The finish floor elevations above the street vary depending on the
individual lot.
The finish floor building to the north of the this property, which is about 30
feet high, is about ten feet lower then the proposed 4501 building and the
building directly south whose finish floor is about 2 feet higher is about 25
feet in height. The building to the east in front of the site is about 28 feet
high. Both the building to the east and the buildings to the north have a
street facades that range between 120 and 175 feet.
The proposed building has an average height of about 29 feet and a street
facing facade of 140 feet. This makes the scale and height of the
purposed development have an appropriate scale to the surrounding
buildings and site.
2. Relationship of Structure and Site to Adjoining Area
a. Harmony in texture, line and masses is encouraged.
Response:
The surrounding building facades are generally horizontal and about 30
feet in height. The building finishes are smooth painted concrete and have
little architectural treatments except windows.
The public facade proposed building design is harmonious with the mass,
line and textures of surrounding buildings.

b. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties should be
provided.
Response:
The proposed development has landscape transitions at all adjoining
properties where appropriate. The transitions to neighboring properties and
the streets meet the design intent of code.
The details of the transitions are as follows:
The transitions provided at the streets are extensive and meet or exceed
ordinance requirements as well. At the eastern street a 50 foot planted
buffer is provided and at the western street an existing planted buffer
averaging 100 feet is in place.
The proposed design provides a landscape transition at the north lot line to
the neighboring industrial park. This transition along the eastern part of
that boundary consists of five feet of required planting that supplement the
existing neighboring trees and additional landscaping in front of the
parking. At the western part of the boundary, 5 feet of planting is provided
next to the lot line north of the security fencing. Currently, north of this lot
line, no code required landscaping remains against the blank building
facade.
At the south lot line three different conditions occur. The first one occurs
at the pan handle east of the building in which the general parking area is
located along the entry drive. At this location the design proposes a
minimum of five feet of side yard landscaping behind the keystone wall in
front of the parking area and planting south of the keystone wall between
the wall land the walk.
The second and third conditions occur where the two existing buildings are
located on the neighboring lot to the south. The two existing buildings are
located about 25 feet south of the lot line. South of the 4501 Building lot
line is a landscape bed that averages 12 feet and ranges in width between
10 and 15 feet in which is planted mature trees. This area serves as a
landscape transition for both properties even though it is not located on the
lot.
The finish floor location of the two buildings to the south differs. The
westerly building is located above a 8 foot rockery 25 feet south of the lot
line. At the base of the rockery is 10 to 15 feet of planting. Increasing the
planting area along this area would not improve the transition between
properties.
•
Project Consistency Narrative
4501 BUILDING
Page Five
As part of this application the Owner is requesting a landscape design
modification to allow the required landscaping along this lot line to be
placed in one of the other open areas of the site. He feels that the existing
landscape transition at this lot line is appropriate.
c. Public buildings and structures should be consistent with the
established neighborhood character.
Response: This is a private building and is consistent with the neighboring
buildings
d. Compatibility of vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns and
loading facilities in terms of safety, efficiency and convenience
should be encouraged.
Response:
The site design separates parking and service areas from each other. In
limited areas, service vehicle circulation areas overlap parking circulation
areas. At no location will a vehicle parked at a loading dock obstruct
vehicle circulation areas.
e. Compatibility of on-site vehicular circulation with street circulation
should be encouraged.
Response:
Site access is provided to this property through an existing shared drive
which will be improved and widened as part of this development. This
access to the public street makes the circulation compatible with the
existing street.
All vehicle circulation for this development will occur on private property or
over a private easement on adjacent property. The common access drive
will be used for general ingress and egress as currently occurring.
Maneuvering on the easement will occur at two parking stalls at the east
side of the building where they will back out on to the easement. This
easement dead -ends about 100 feet to the south and serves parking on
those adjacent sites which already use the easement for maneuvering.
The development of this site doesn't disrupt the current circulation patterns
and improves access and has been designed to be compatible with the
existing private circulation.

3. Landscape and Site Treatment
a. Where existing topographic patterns contribute to beauty and utility
of a development, they should be recognized, preserved and
enhanced.
Response:
The proposed design utilizes the existing vegetation, significant trees and
the topography to the maximum extent feasible to screen and buffer the
site and preserve wooded areas. The new plantings were provided to
enhance the existing vegetation and improve the overall development.
b. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces and other paved areas
should promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance.
Response:
Grades on site are designed to allow for easy movement by pedestrians
and vehicles. Differing paving materials are provided at vehicle area and
pedestrian pathways to designate access routes to the building entry from
parking areas and the street. The boomed concrete walkways with the
adjacent landscaping will provide an inviting, stable, and safe pathway from
the street to the site.
c. Landscape treatment should enhance architectural features,
strengthen vistas and important axis, and provide shade.
Response:
The landscape design as proposed allows the building entry to be viewed
from the private drive and focuses your attention on the entry as you
approach.
d. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or
motor traffic, mitigating steps should be taken,
Response:
Curbs are provided around all landscaped areas to prevent intrusion of
vehicles. Parking stall curbs or wheel stops will be provided 18 to 24
inches into the parking stall to prevent damage to planting.
e. Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees or shrubs
in paved areas is encouraged.
Response:
The design as shown provides landscape islands within the parking area in
which shrubs and trees are provided. At the service area doors, adjacent
to the building where paving is provided, trees and shrubs are planted at
the property perimeter to visually buffer this area.
Project Consistency Narrative
4501 BUILDING
Page Seven
f. Screening of service yards and other places, which tend to be
unsightly, should be accomplished by the use of walls, fencing,
planting or combinations of these. Screening should be effective in
winter and summer.
Response:
The storage area east of the service doors is screened from view from
offsite area by a combination of existing evergreens, new evergreens,
existing buildings, the new building, and site obscuring fencing. Some
deciduous planting is provided within those areas for variation and will not
diminish the effectiveness of the screening in the winter.
g. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such
as fences, walls, and paving of wood, brick, stone or gravel may be
used.
Response:
Gravel will be used in areas where parking overhang will cause planting to be
ineffective.
h. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the
adjoining landscape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a
design and size compatible with the building and adjacent area. Lighting
should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive brightness and
brilliant colors should be avoided.
Response:
The photometrics of all light fixtures will be selected to limit Tight effects to
the site and provide 1 fc. (noon light) at the edge of the adjoining property.
Light fixtures will be color corrected metal halide so the color will be white
and the fixture efficient.
Current Tight design for the site calls for four types of fixtures. These have
been selected based on there location. Along the south edge of the
parking lot two 30 foot high 250 watts shoe box pole lights are provided.
These fixtures will light the parking lot and the pedestrian path to the
building.
At the building entry two 75 watt recessed down lights will be installed in
the soffitt to Tight the entry alcove to make it warm and inviting. In the two
landscaped islands at each end of the parking in front of the office are two
75 watt pole mounted pedestrian walkway lights that will provide lighting for
the parking area and make this area feel secure. These are located so that
they will provide surface lighting at each adjacent drive in doors.
•
Project Consistency Narrative
4501 BUILDING
Page Eight
At the west and south side of the building shoe box fixtures are provided,
mounted on arms attached to the building to provide security lighting. The
fixture on the west arm is 250 watt and the one on the south is 75 watt to
minimize the effect on the adjacent property.
Overall the lighting design will enhance the site and blend effectively with
surrounding uses.
4. Building Design
a. Architectural style is not restricted; evaluation of a project should be
based on quality of design and relationship to surroundings.
Response:
The purposed building design exceeds the design quality of the buildings in
front of it and next to it and is of equal or better quality of other buildings in
the area. See photo exhibit.
b. Buildings should be to appropriate scale and be in harmony with
permanent neighboring developments.
Response:
The proposed building is of comparable scale with buildings in the
neighborhood and has been painted with colors that will make it
harmonious with the adjacent buildings.
c. Building components, such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets,
should have good proportions and relationship to one another.
Building components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with
anticipated life of the structure.
Response:
The exterior building materials have been selected for endurance and easy
maintenance. The wall areas are painted concrete, windows are set in an
aluminum sash, parapets are capped with colored metal flashings, and
exterior doors are painted metal. Doors and window sizes have been
selected based on the use of the building and are proportionate to the
scale of the building. A parapet has been provided to create the vertical
height needed for a balanced design.
d. Colors should be harmonious, with bright or brilliant colors used only
for accent.
Response:
The colors as selected are natural tones that are from one family of colors.
These colors blend together to create a soft appearance while the accent
color provides enough contrast so that signage can be placed in that area
and be visible but in keeping with the color family used on the building.
•
Project Consistency Narrative
4501 BUILDING
Page Nine
e. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or
buildings should be screened from view.
Response:
The building design provides for a parapet on the north, south and east
side (front).
The roof surface behind the parapet slopes to the west, which enables the
north and south parapet to step and create a more interesting facade. The
height of the parapet is sufficient to block the view of any small mechanical
unit which would be installed on the roof from the public street that is lower
and some distance away.
f. Exterior lighting should be part of the architectural concept. Fixtures,
standards and all exposed accessories should be harmonious with
building design.
Response:
Exterior lighting has been selected and placed to compliment the building
and site design and provide visual focus on the building entry area at night.
g. Monotony of design in single or multiple building projects should be
avoided. Variety of detail, form and fitting should be used to provide
visual interest.
Response:
The street facade provides visual interest through the use of glazing,
recessed entries, landscaping, changes in color, and articulation of the
building surface. The design has detailing, form and balance appropriate
for a warehouse building in an industrial area.
5. Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture
a. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture should be designed to
be part of the architectural concept of design and landscape.
Materials should be compatible with buildings, scale should be
appropriate, colors should be in harmony with buildings and
surroundings, and proportions should be to scale.
Response:
The building has no street frontage that can be developed because of the
drainage channel and the wetland buffer. At this time no miscellaneous
structures or street furniture is proposed.
b. Lighting in connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture
should meet the guidelines applicable to site, landscape and buildings.
Response:
No lighting is proposed at this time.

RE: 4501 Building Design Review Approval
Notice of Expiration of Land Use Permits
L06-086, Design Review and L08-056, Major Modification
Dear Mr. Jones:
On November 14, 2008 the City of Tukwila issued a Notice of Decision for a Major Modification (L08-056) to an
approved design review application (L06-086) for the construction of commercial/light industrial building at 4501 S.
134th Place. Development permits to construct the building were subsequently submitted to the City for review and
issuance.
This letter is to inform you that pursuant to Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.60.070 (E) your design review approval
and major modification approval have expired because the construction permitting for the project was not completed
within three years. If you wish to proceed with this project in the future you will need to obtain design review approval
and comply with all development regulations at the time of submission of a complete application to the City. The
expiration of the design review and major modification approval does not relieve you of completing the approved
watercourse mitigation place that was approved under a special permission application (L07-071).
If you should have any questions, please contact me by phone at (206) 431-3684 or via email at

RE: 4501 Building
Design Review Expiration
Special Permission Application
Dear Mr. Jones:
On November 14, 2008 the City issued a Notice of Decision for your Major Modification application at
4501 S. 134th Place. The Major Modification application was to approve a significant design change from
the original Design Review application that was approved by the City on July 3, 2007. A review of the
current permit history indicates that all of your building permits for the proposed project have expired.
Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.60.070 (D) states that "Construction permitting for the design review
approved plans must begin within three years from the Notice of Decision or the BAR decision becomes
null and void". In order to prevent the design review application from expiring, you must submit a
complete building permit application for the approved design review building by November 14, 2011.
City staff has no latitude to extend this date.
As you are aware, located on your property is a type 2 stream. As part of your project, the City
approved a special permission application allowing you to reduce the required buffer from the type 2
stream from 100 feet to 50 feet. Within the reduced buffer you had indicated you would install parking
and the storm detention system for the proposed development. The City permitted you to reduce the
buffer area, provided you completed a buffer enhancement. As can be seen from S. 134th Place you
have installed the parking lot and the storm detention system for the development. However, no
progress has been made to complete the buffer enhancement project.
Your Public Works permit is scheduled to expire October 8, 2011. If you wish to keep this PW permit
active, you will need to complete the buffer enhancement and have it signed off by the City prior to the
expiration date. Failure to complete the enhancement project could trigger code enforcement
proceedings to gain compliance with the requirements of the approved special permission application.
