Wayne Wentz <br /> • April ]0, 1996 <br /> Page 6 <br /> feet to the north. 19th Avenue SE is presently a three-lane section along the suhject site frontage. <br /> Prom field observation, the majority of existing left-turn out bound vehicles utilize the center turn <br /> lane as a refuge/acr,eleration lane; thereby, reducing the conflicting movements for exiting lefr- <br /> turn vehicies. Addit;onally, the proposed SR-527 corridor improvements to a S-lane section ! <br /> would improve the sight visi�ility at this access location. <br /> NIITIGATION <br /> • The proposed site access onto SR-527 would operate at LOS B or better for all movements, <br /> except for the westbound left-tum egress movement from the site access. Therefore, GTC i <br /> ' recommends sepazate left and right-turn r�lnnelizadon to reduce internal queuing and reduce <br /> the delay for the WB right-turn egress movement. <br /> • The proposed site access warrants a northbound right-turn deceleration lane on SR-527 with <br /> the existing 3-lane roadway, per WSDOT guidelines. However, with the ultimate 5-lane � <br /> roadway with bike lanes, the NB RT lane would not be required. Therefore, GTC <br /> recommends an interim NB right-turn dece!eration lane until the 5-lane roadway is I <br /> consuucted. I <br /> • The proposed Kaneris commercial development would mitigate its ��°Q`�c impacts on the Incal i <br /> road system by contributing toward the City, County and State impro�•ement prejects based i <br /> on new daily and p.m. peak trips generated. The total uaffic nutigation fee wou!d be I <br /> $81,223.40, as summarized in Table 2. ', <br /> We uust that this letter and attachments adequately address the traffic impacts of the proposed ' <br /> Kaneris conunercial development.
