TENW <br />Transportation Engineering North West <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: April 10, 2018 <br />TO: David Ratliff, Vice President <br />DevCo, Inc. <br />FROM: Michael Read, PE, Principal, TENW <br />SUBJECT: Riverview Apartments - REVII 17-024 & SEPA17-019 <br />Response to Traffic Comments from City of Everett on March 7, 2018 <br />TENW Project No. 3537 <br />This memorandum provides a response to Item 23 within the City of Everett Public Works <br />Department comments on the Riverview Apartments Traffic Impact Analysis provided to DevCo., Inc. <br />on March 7, 2018. The comment related to a request for a custom trip generation rates be <br />prepared for the proposed supportive/affordable housing project. <br />Response 1: Since completion of the original Traffic Impact Analysis, the Institute of Transportation <br />Engineers (ITE) has published the 1 Oth Edition of the Trip Generalion Manual, December 2017. <br />Within this document, are published rates for "typical" mid -rise apartment complexes in general <br />urban/suburban locations in Land Use Code 221, with between 50 and 60 sites surveyed in this <br />category with correlative fitted curve equations. As such, the study has been updated to reflect <br />these new land use categories and significant level of surveys without regard for the supportive or <br />affordable nature of the units as a worse -case scenario. <br />With these revisions, a net increase of approximately 68 new p.m. peak hour trips (2 more than <br />the November 2017 study) are estimated, and as such, no changes in level of service or other <br />findings or conclusions have resulted as part of this study update. <br />If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (206) 361-7333 ext. <br />1 Ol or via email at mikeread@tenw.com. <br />Transportation Planning I Design I Traffic Impact & Operations <br />PO Box 65254, Seattle, WA 98155 1 Office (206) 361-7333 <br />
