Mayor Ekberg said the landmark being reviewed in the City isthe "red barn," which was the first Boeing
complex in Tukwila.
AnthonyMurhetta said he is the president of Teamsters Local 763 and is the bargaining representative
for the 4Teamsters groups inthe City. Abargaining agreement has not been reached for the
Administrative and Technical employees group, The employees will not ratify the contract without internal
equity. |n2OO2the City moved tVa DBK8(decision band methodology) system, Mr. K8uniettaprovided a
document showing comparable salaries inthe bands. H8said over the years, the non -represented
employees' salary bands grew at a higher rate, with a disparity between 2,94% and over 13%, depending
on steps and bands. Originally, the intent was that all employees within aband were tobeequal all the
way across. Additionally, in 2017 the health care costs increased by 9.696; when the costs are over an
896threshold, the topic goes back tothe bargaining table, Hegave the City kudos for not passing the
additional costs onto the membership. |n2O18.there are nocost increases tothe plan. AShehas
expressed in the past, he hae|G it is important to have incremental increases each year to avoid the costs
rising above 8%, not because of the health costs rising, but due to falsely eating down the reserve. This
unit was hit hard with $100 copays for imaging, an additional $15 copay for specialists, and an additional
$25oopoyfor going tmurgent care inplace nfthe emergency room (which the City encouraged
employees todoofew years ago). This bargaining group is protesting this contract situation due to
disparity insalaries and passing along additional health care costs. The Cih/'oresolutions and
ordinances state the City is all-inclusive and treats everyone with respect and dignity. Are the
Administrative and Technical employees being respected when one employee iSdeemed more important
than another inthe same classification band.
Mayor Ekberg thanked Mr. Murriettafor his comments.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposal is to construct a new pump station structure and associated improvements at 16032 42no
Avenue South inTukwi|a'sK0cMiokenHeights neighborhood. The project isnomedPump Station #8and
was identified in Highline Water District's 2016 Water System Plan as a redundant pump station to Pump
Station #6. Pump Station #6 serves water coming from High|ineVVabsr District's largest reservoir, the
Crestview Reservoir. The addition of Pump Station #8 to the High|ineVVatar District will allow the
Crestview Reservoir to continue to provide water to customers in the 560 Pressure Zone, and all other
connected zones. if Pump Station #S becomes inoperable.
Pump Station #8 is proposed to be a two-story structure with a building footprint of 1,300 square feet. The
first level is proposed to be located underground, containing the pump room. The upper level, proposed to
be et-gnade, will house electrical and control equipment. The project also includes installation of flow
meter vault, construction of an approximately 350 equana4bmtoononehe pad for an electrical Aanengtor,
installation of the electrical generator at the rear side of the property behind the pump mtshVn, paved
access driveway, site landscaping, and utility piping. Additionally, approximately 1,350 linear feet of 24-
inch water main is proposed to be installed within the right-of-way of 42nd Avenue South and through a
private easement hoconnect toMilitary Road South.
CONCLUSIONS - UNCLASSIFIED USE PERMIT
Y. The proposed design of Highline Water District Pump Station #8 includes an underground level
containing all the pumps and utility piping for the project. Thetopfloor.whiohiepropomedtobeabovo
Bround, is proposed to contain electrical equipment. The applicant's project narrative explains that the
pump station facilities "have been undergrounded to the maximum extent practicable.
UnderQroundingthe entire project vvou|dbeinfeaeib|eduetothedepthofexoavationthotwou|dbe
required tohouse the pumps, electrical equipment, and EG."
2. Purchase of the 16032 42nd Ave S property by the Highline Water District, and subsequent demolition
of the existing home of the site, rectified a chronic nuisance in the neighborhood, Construction of the
new pump station at this location will help ensure reliable water service for High|ineVVater District
customers in the 560 Pressure Zone served by the Crestview Reservoir or source water from Seattle
Public Utilities. The project has been designed to mitigate potential impacts to surrounding properties
and improvements in the vicinity related to noise, |ightinQ, and aesthetics.
3. The project moetaorexceedothedeve|mpmentatondardavvithintheLovvDensityReoidentia|distncL
4. The proposed development is compatible with surrounding land uses, proposing a similar front yard
setback distance as the homes to the north, o building footprint and building height similar in scale to
the surrounding homes, and landscaping along the perimeter of the project site to enhance the site as
well as provide a buffer and screening for adjacent single-family homes to the north and south as well
as Crestview Park tothe east.
5. The proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use P|an, including goals and
policies within the Residential Neighborhoods and Utilities elements.
8. The High|inaVVater District considered several alternative project sites in vicinity of the Crestview
Reservoir for Pump Station #8. Other sites considered would have involved displacement of
homeowners and tenants ofexisting occupied and livable homes. The project deeignhaeino|udad

7. There isnoreasonable alternative site for the Pump Station #8project duetmhydnm|ogynoquinemmnby
for pump station serving the Crestview Reservoir and lack ofnonresidential sites. Parcels within
vicinity of the Crestview Reservoir are zoned for either single-family development (LDR), or mix of
commercial and residential development (NCC and RCC), Parcels zoned NCC and RCC are
developed and occupied by existing busineooes, hmmea, or combination of commercial and
residential development.
8. The completed project will naau|t in a secure facility, designed to blend in with the surrounding
neighborhood and screened from adjacent properties by landscaping on all sides of the new water
pump station. The completed project will improve the existing site and will provide water customers in
the neighborhood amore secure water system.

RECOMMENDATIONS — UNCLASSIFIED USE PERMIT
Staff recommends approval of the Unclassified Use Permit as proposed.
CONCLUSIONS — DESIGN REVIEW
t Site Planning
The project is designed to blend in with adjacent single-family properties and the surrounding
neighborhood. The site design retains existing topography, including aslope down from 42nd Ave Sto
m |ewa| area where the home previously located on the site was, where the new pump station will be
built. The existing retaining wmUa located on the east side of the site vvhena a slope up to Crestview
Park begins is proposed to be reconstructed as a rockery that will maintain the existing topography at
the back side of the site. The new pump station will be Set back from the street roughly the some
distance from the street as the home was, which is also the same distance as the single-family
homes onthe east side of42»uSttnthe north ofthe project site.
The projectproposes bzreduce the number ofdriveways from the site h}42»uAve Sdown from two to
one. Alarge landscape area oithe front ofthe site, between 42nuAve Sand the new pump station
structure, will enhance the view of the property from the street and will screen the pump station
structure and associated parking areas from the street and from adjacent properties. Other perimeter
landscape areas on the sides and rear yards are at least 10 feet wide and will also work to screen the
site from adjacent residential development and Crestview Park.
2[ Building Design
Two stories are needed to house the equipment for the pump station. One of the stories has been
designed to be located underground so that water pump noise reduction can be maximized. The
structure design will appear as o one-story single-family honne, with e pitched roof and building
materials typical of single-family home.
3. Landscape and Site Treatment
The existing topography on the site iSproposed tobe retained, Raing8rdanahave been included in
the storm drainage design, which take advantage ofexisting slopes tochannel water tmthese areas.
Most of the mature landscaping on the site is |ooebad on top of the retaining wall area on the east side
of the site, and consists of shrubs, dead evergreen trees, and a mature Cherry tree. The wood
retaining vva||s in this area of the site are proposed to be replaced with a rookery, and the Cherry tree
ioproposed toberetained.
At least 10feet ofperimeter landscaping isincluded inthe landscape design onaUaideecfthu
project site. The front landscape area includes o2O-hootlandscape area infront ofthe wrought -iron
fence which will enclose the site, as well as landscaping behind the fence. Perimeter landscaping
provides good transition to adjoining properties by providing an attractive etnsetscepo along 42»« Ave
S and providing screening from adjacent properties on the side and rear yards.
4. Miscellaneous Structures
The emergency generator proposed for the pump station will be located behind the pump station,
screened from 42nd Ave S by the pump station building, screened from adjoining properties by
landscaping within side yards and the rockery and perimeter landscaping along the rear yard. All
other mechanical and utility hardware is proposed to bewithin the pump station building.
A wrought -iron fence is proposed to enclose the property, with a sliding gate to provide access to the
site from 42nd Ave S. The wrought -iron material proposed provides a high -quality, strong material for
security while at the same time making use of material and design typical of residential
development.
Site lighting is proposed to be shielded and restrained to prevent lighting from spilling over to adjacent
properties. Per Tukwila Police Department recommendations, lighting will be at 5096 strength` only
illuminating to full strength when motion is detected on site.

Dennis K8arbnez, 4680 South 1601hStreet, is neighbor inthis area. Due tothe ongoing issues occurring
on 42^u Avenue South due to cunebnotinn, it would be helpful to expand the notice on this beyond the
5004botnequinamenL There will beolot going oninthis area atthe same time, and enhanced
communications would bevery helpful tothe community.
Mayor Ekberg asked the Council if they had clarifying questions of staff or the applicant.
|nresponse hmquestions from Counci|nn*mbarRobertson:
Question: When would the pumps be used; is it a backup oyehsm or for regular use?
Response from Mr. Oe|K8ac Regularly.
Question: Why could this facility not bebuilt onthe current site near the reservoir?
Response from Mr. Oe|K8ar: There was not sufficient room at the existing site. They also wanted to have
2 for redundancy and meet the criteria for having a separate power source, i.e. 1 with Puget Sound
Energy (PSE) and i with Seattle City Light(SCL).
Question: When will the diesel generator beused?
Response from Mr. De|K4ar: It would be operated for 1 hour once a week to exercise the equipment. It
would only beused inanemergency situation. All oftheir pump station generators are set tobeonot
10:00a.m. in the morning.
Question: When will building occur?
Response from Mr. De|lMar: They expect Lobegin in3mquarter 2O18and anticipate ittaking one year to
complete.
|nresponse bmquestions from Counci|mnennberHou8ardy:
Question: What is anequivalent sound example for 55decibels
Response from Ma. Dho|iwo|: 55 decibels is not too loud. If someone eonsame, they are likely exceeding
that. Avehicle going on the street could easily be 55 decibels. In the residential zone. the City's noise
code ia45decibels atnight and 55decibels during the day.
Question: Will this pump beoperating constantly?
Response from Mr. De|K8or It will run all the time. Nothing on the inside of the building will be heard
outside. The most noise would come from the generator which iaoutside. The generators are designed
with quiet enclosures. Conversations being held outside near the generator can occur, and the generator
can barely beheard running. |tienot like agrinding noise oradiesel engine. |tmeets all ofTukwi|a'm
code requirements.
Question: The 2residents that were there first oneither side ofthe project didnotknovvthiawas
happening. When you build the structure and if there are problems with noise, is there further mitigation
that can occur to keep the sound levels low, such as another layer of insulation?
Response from Mr. De|W1@r Yea, we can do that. VVewant tm be good neighbora, which iewhy we have
gone to the level of detail on this project. We are building a stick frame building with the same kind of
insulation that would be used in a home, to include acoustical panels on the building to reduce the noise.
We are going above and beyond, and wmalso have onacoustical engineer aSapart ofour project. As

|nresponse toquestions from Council President Seal:
Question: Why did this not go to the BAR (Board of Architectural Review)?
Response from W1o. Dhm|ivve|: Duo to this project having both o Design Review and Unclassified Use
Permit, the applicant had the choice to consolidate the process into one City Council hearing oethe City
Council is the decision maker for Unclassified User permits, rather than having 2 different hearings.
Question: How was the notification handled for the public information meeting that was held on
Novemher3O?
Response from Ms. Dha|ivva|: A resident mailing went out to those properties within 500 feet ofthe site,
and aposting was put onthe site per the City'ecode requirements. |twas also put online under legal
notices. Due to construction in the area, there was concern about people making it to City Hall, so we
chose the King County library on Military Road for the public information meeting.
|nresponse toquestions from Counci|mmenmberQuinn:
Question: The pumps are underground. Correct?
Response from Mr. De|K8mr: Yes.
Question: What is the average noise level of street noise, such as that on 42nd Avenue South?
Response from Ms. Dha|iwo|: That istypically called ambient noise and could be uptoU0 decibels and
72inthe case offreeways.
Todd Fultz, 186O22»uAvenue SW, Normandy Park, ioa Commissioner with High|ineWater District.
Using his phone for an online search, he relayed that a leaf falling is 10 decibels, rustles of leaves in trees
in the wind is 20 decibe|e, whispering is 30 decibels, a living room orquiet classroom ig4O deoibe|s, a
refrigerator or a car heard from inside m home driving past is 50 Uecibe|s, and a television set is 70
decibels or higher.
Question: Is HiQh|ineWater District acomplaint based organization?
Response from Mr. DelMar: The first step would be to ensure all codes are met. (fvvehave complaints
from neighbors, vvewould goout and address them with the community, VVehave acomplaint process
and an elected Board of Commissioners, so if citizen or rate payer in not eadafied, there is an elected
body they can present issues to as vve||.
Question: What is o reasonable expectation of the impacts as it relates to the 1 hour week use of the
generator?
Response from Mr. Da|Mar: The generator will be nestled behind the building and shielded from the
road, so the noise will be directed back tothe pork versus the adjacent properties or the street. If you
were standing in front of the property, it is not |iho|y you will hear the generator running at all. We have 10
of these scattered throughout the district. They are relatively quiet, and we do have them in other
residential areas and do not receive complaints about them, If we do' we will move to resolve the issue.
Question: What does your organization do about construction noise?
Response from Mr. De|lMar: They will have on inspector on site during all hours of construction. There is
o direct liaison from the district for the community to voice any concerns. That person has authority to
remedy situations that may arise immediately. If complaints are brought forth to the City, they will have a
direct path to my desk to provide remedies. With any construction projects, there is always some impact;
it is never zero. We will go above and beyond to remedy situations before they fester. We have spoken
to both neighbors on both sides of the property, and they Seem supportive of the project. The
neighborhood is happy we removed the old hmme, and we extended several meetings with them. We
believe they are on board, and if they have any iosues, they have my direct phone number.
Response from Ms. Qha|ivve|: Construction noise is exempt under the City's noise node during the day
time hours. The start time on weekends is 8:00 a.m. as opposed to the weekday time of6:OO a.m.
In response to questions from [Vunoi|mmerobe, Kru||er:
Question: How far apart are the buildings?
Response from Ms. Dhe|ivva|: The pump station is 11 feet from the south property line and from the north
property |ine, it is 21 feet, The standard setback is 5 foet, so it is more than double the standard on both
sides.

Question: Doyou have anything inwriting from the neighbors expressing support.
Response from Mr. De|Mer We do not; we did have e SEPA determination and public heehng, and the
neighbors were invited. Noone showed up, and nonegative concerns were voiced. There was one

Ms. Dha|ivva| explained that if noise is an issue, the Council could add a condition to monitor the noise for
ayear.
Discussion ensued among the Councilmembers regarding adding a condition relating to noise monitoring,
with key points as follows:
^ Since this is the first project of this type, noise monitoring would be beneficial,
• The importance ofhaving o City Attorney present etquasi-judicial matters.
• The significance of doing a great deal to notify the public regarding these types of projects.
• The applicant has gone to great extremes to deal with the noise and impacts to neighborhoods, and
noise monitoring ienot free.
• Pump stations for water are necessary facilities.
� Noise monitoring for no more than a month would be reasonable.
Mr. Idan asked to hear from the applicant regarding noise monitoring of the site regarding cost and the
time frame for monitoring.
Mr. De|Mar is comfortable with what is being suggested. He asked what they would do with the
information once itimgathered. Their process isgoing tomeet Vrexceed the City'snoise ordinances, and
the testing can confirm that. |fthere igoreading exceeding the City'Snoise ordinance (55decibels ot2O
feet), then they can work with the neighbors to find a solution to address that. The standard right now is
meeting the City's noise ordinance osthe threshold. They can do monitoring for a month and then 4-5
times over the next year when the station isoperational. Areport can beprepared for staff showing we
are meeting orexceeding the code. There isalso flexibility with regard tothe generator inthat if1O:OO
a.m. on a Thursday is not working for the neighbors, it can be moved to a different time.
8:28 p.m. Mayor Ekberg closed the public hearing.

Councilmember Robertson said if a neighbor complains about the noise, then the City would require a
noise test anyway. Ms. Dhaliwal responded in the affirmative.
Mr. Robertson is speaking against the amendment due to the cost that is really unnecessary, since the
City would require a noise test if there were complaints.
Ms. Hougardy spoke in favor of the amendment to ensure there is a proactive effort to ensure the project
is in compliance and not just based on complaints.
Councilmember Quinn expressed that complaint -based processes do not always get to everyone, and in
the City's effort to ensure equity throughout the City, this is a positive step.

PROPERTY. MOTION DIES FOR LACK OFASECOND.
Councilmember Hougardy is in support of the resolution as written as it reflectsthe buyer's intended use
and the City'a vision.
Mr. Speck explained with any selection process, there are often multiple criteria. |tiecommon that an
application may not meet all ofthe criteria. The selection process includes weighting aedrelates tothe
criteria. Not all ofthe criteria would necessarily have tobemet for anapplication tobesuccessful; the
applications will berated against the criteria. Those that rate hothe top based Vnthe criteria will he
brought back tothe Council.
Counoi|member|dgnrequested more information onthe rating and criteria. Mr. Speck said that the 4
criteria in the resolution are in addition to standard ratings such as the price of the property. The actual
rating system has not yet been developed and will need to be approved by the City Attorney.
Councilmember Kruller asked if the criteria could be read as it relates to 3747 South 146th Street (old
Traveler's Choice Motel).
Mr. Speck said in addition to price, the 4 additional criteria are as follows:
1� How well the buyer's intended use fits the City's vision for Tukwila International Boulevard;
2. Whether the property would be developed in conjunction with the adjacent parcel on Tukwila
International Boulevard;
3. Whether the buyer's intended use would support small businesses or dislocated businesses; and
4Buyer/developer experience.
Councilmember Kruller understands the City is aiming for purchasers that are among the small
businesses that are being dislocated in the area, She asked if this is legal?
Mc Speck said the City Attorney drafted this reeo|utinn, and the City is legally allowed to take into account
criteria such osdislocated businesses orsmall businesses.
Councilmember Kruller asked if the CNU (Center for New Urbanism) report has been reviewed and found
that where we are going with this matches the CNU vision.
Mr, Speck explained a match is possible, however, there are currently no proposals for how the property
would beused, Whether or not it will meet the vision will depend on what the applications state as it
ns|ahee to use of the property. If the applications nshe low on the CNU criteria, that will be taken into
account and conveyed when the applications are brought back tothe City Council.
K8e. Kru||er inquired as to whether the City will be comparing proposals to the (|NU vision. K8c Speck

CNU vision.

are among small businesses that are being dislocated.
Rachel Turpin. City Attorney (responding via speaker phone), said she drafted this resolution. The
Tukwila Municipal Code (TPWC)' as well as State Levv, provides flexibility on how the City can dispose of
this type ofreal property. |tmust basold atfair market value amthe City cannot gift public funds. When
analternate process for sale is established under TK8C2.G4'the City can establish additional criteria in
addition to just the price.
K80. Kru||er asked if the City has the ability to have a bias toward a particular buyer in hanns of the kind of
business they have.
Ms. Turpin said she does not feel the resolution does that, as there is not a specific type of business
identified. It is just one of the criteria that can be reviewed as it relates to supporting small businesses.
From her standpoint, this resolution ieacceptable. |fthere are specific questions regarding legal issues
and the City's |iabi|ity, those should be handled outside of an open public meeting.
