The split <br />boulevard treatment provides for two separate fire/emergency vehicle access driveways into the site in <br />case of blockage at one location. All buildings on -site would be fully sprinklered and an additional <br />fire/emergency only vehicle access onto 16th Street would be provided, meeting the International Fire <br />Code (IFC) standards. <br />The entire length of property frontage of E Marine View Drive is fully built, with curb, gutter, sidewalks and <br />street illumination. As such, no frontage or site access improvements are warranted based upon <br />operational analysis which estimates exiting volumes would operate at LOS C or better. <br />Entering sight distance north and south of the primary driveway onto E Marine View Drive were field <br />estimated by TENW in excess of 800 feet in either direction. This would exceed the minimum required <br />entering sight distance of 445 feet for a design speed of 40 mph (5 mph above posted speed limit) per A <br />Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 6th Edition, (AASHTO 201 1 ). <br />Project Mitigation <br />A review of traffic impacts to intersection levels of service, site access, and circulation issues was conducted <br />in association with the RiveiviewApartments project, a 201-unit residential apartment project in Everett, <br />WA. The following mitigation measures are recommended to reduce or eliminate project impacts: <br />➢ The applicant would be required to construct the necessary site access driveway to City standards. <br />➢ To mitigate systemwide impacts the City of Everett collects traffic impact fees per Everett Municipal <br />Code 18.4.010. For multifamily dwelling units, a fee of $1,392 per unit is assessed. However, <br />credit for existing uses would be allowed given existing residential and commercial uses on -site, <br />and as such, the estimated net increase of 68 p.m. peak hour trips X $2,400 per p.m. peak hour <br />trip would equate to a traffic impact fee of approximately $163,200. <br />V TENW April 10, 2018 <br />Page 10 <br />
