1400 W MARINE VIEW DR WATERFRONT PLACE APARTMENTS 2022-04-04

ill • tMatt and Team, 4 \ I apologize for the delay in responding to this inquiry. I have been working on a number of different ' I projects in the Port of Everett and I mistakenly thought I had provided a response to you much earlier. kN I have reviewed your parking layout and the deviations that you are requesting are completely reasonable and within my authority to approve. Accessible parking space dimensions are the only parking dimensions which may not be reduced,and only the minimum width requirements may not be reduced. It does not appear that you are requesting to reduce these widths so this shouldn't be an issue for you. For future reference,the unreducible width standard for accessible parking are 16'(parking stall+access aisle)for van accessible spaces and 13'for other accessible parking. {" 60 �� Once again,please accept my apology for the delay in providing feedback. In the future I will make every effort to keep track of questions on each development in the Port area separately to avoid this ao type of lapse. N,,,,, ..1 i Sincerely, 4At, Michael We are putting together our public works and land use submittals for the apartments at Waterfront Place Central,and there are a couple of potential variances from the parking dimensions that I'd like to discuss.I'm attaching a site plan for both parcels in our project for reference. 1. Drive aisle width—We would like to propose a consistent width of 24'(compared to a standard of 28',or 23'at compact stalls).This will reduce the amount of impervious area needed to provide the required parking,reduce the walking distance from parking spaces to the building entrance,and generally make the site more pedestrian-friendly.This request applies to both parcels. 2. Cross aisle width—We would like to propose a width of 21'-6"(compared to the standard of 24') in one location on the north parcel where the two-way drive aisle has no parking spaces accessed from it.This allows us to maintain a tree well in the middle of that row of parking spaces as well as a decent walkway next to the building.The raised pedestrian path across this area of the aisle will help to slow traffic down in this area. 3. Accessible parking space dimensions—We propose a stall length of 18'-6"for the van accessible spaces(compared to the standard of 20'),and a stall length of 16'(compared to the standard of 18'-6")for 25%of the total accessible spaces on the two parcels.This is related to our efforts to minimize the overall lot size and maintain pedestrian walkways through the site.In addition,we are proposing some smaller spaces to provide a variety of choices,and to keep the accessible parking as close as possible to the building entrance. Below are conditions we have previously discussed with you: 4. Canopy columns between parking spaces—you asked for information about the stall and aisle width which you will find on the attached plans. 5. Compact stalls—we propose to increase the number to 30%.I am attaching our traffic report that supports this percentage. 6. Wheel stops—per your email exchange with Mike Martin on May 17,we plan to eliminate wheel stops where it is possible to widen planting areas to accommodate the car overhang. Thanks for taking a look.Please let me know what comments or concerns you have.
