2930 WETMORE AVE BASE FILE 2018-01-02 MF Import

Celia Strong -3- March 19, 1979 commercial parking available within convenient walking distance to the building (that is within 600' of the property line) and have located in excess of 350 spaces available on either an hourly or daily basis. An inquiry to the operator of these commercial lots discloses that they are approximately two-thirds full at peak hours, which means that there are 118 stalls avail- able at any time within 600' of the building. These 118 stalls, together with the 159 available on site, make a total of 277 parking stalls available for use by building occupants, including clients. Although this building is being built within the exempt zone of the City of Everett, if it were outside the exempt zone, a building of this nature would require 267 parking places to the best of our knowledge. We therefore state that the building would not create an adverse parking impact upon the City of Everett. As the building is anticipated to be occupied by professionals and para-professionals (attorneys, accountants and related firms), it is assumed that the traffic flow in and out of the building will be spread over a fairly large period of time in both the morning and the evening. That is, traffic flow in the area will not be substantially increased at any one time because of the staggered working hours of employees and principals in the building. It should also be noted that we are removing a service station from the site which had substantial traffic in and out, the traffic go- ing over the sidewalk on the west border of Wetmore. The building will have a temporary loading zone in front of the building on the Wetmore side which should allow the easy flow of traffic along Wetmore, as it will preclude the necessity of double parking for tenants and clients being picked up in front of the building. There will be two entrances to the parking adjacent to and under- neath the building. one access will be from Wetmore and one access from Wall Street, which should alleviate congestion. Also, some of the parking is across the street to the east which will further alleviate traffic. The owners therefore believe that there will be no adverse impact on traffic or parking in the core of the City of Everett after the construction of this building.
