12. The proposed facility will receive waste approximately three days per week. On these three days, the facility will be open eight hours a day. Based on similar facilities in Bellingham, Seattle and Tacoma, it has been determined that the peak hourly visits range from 8.8 to 11.7 visits per 10,000 residents. In Snohomish County there is an estimated population of 538,100. Using the 11.7 visits per 10,000 residents, the peak monthly use of the facility will be approximately 627 visits. Based on the number of hours the facility will be open during a month, it has been calculated that the peak hour arrival rate will be 8.9 visits per hour. This will result in approxin lately a vehicle for every ten minutes. The queuing of vehicles will be minimal and will not create a problem for traffic on McDougall Avenue or to 35th Street. (Exhibit 11, Kelly -Clark testimony) 13. The City of Everett Police and Fire Departments will provide service to the facility. (Exhibit 1) 14. The traffic to be generated by the proposed use will result in a significant increase to that which exists. The peak hour arrival rate of 8.9 visits per hour at the facility will not create a traffic impact to surrounding areas or circulation of public safety. (Exhibit 1) 15. There are three on -site parking spaces at the site. In addition, McDougall Avenue and 35th Street have available parking spaces. The off -site parking and the on -site parking will be adequate to mitigate any impacts. In total, the facility will have approximately nineteen on -street parking spaces. (Exhibit 1) 16. The proposal will be compatible with surrounding properties. There will be no change in the size, height, location, setback or arrangements of the buildings. (Exhibit 1) 17. There is limited landscaping on the existing site. Because most of the site abuts right-of-way, the Applicant proposed to provide some landscaping on public right-of-way in scattered locations along 34th Street and McDougall Avenue frontage. Landscaping will be on the right-of-ways and will enhance the visual appearance of the building in a manner greater than what currently exists. (Exhibit 1, Landles testimony)
