b. Full standard street improvements are required to 19th Avenue S.E. including but not limited to curb, gutter, sidewalk, street widening transitions, and drainage control, per the Silver Lake Traffic Study and City Standards. (Ordinance 555 and SEPA Transportation Policies) c. Applicant will be required to sign a Local Improvement District Covenant for street improvements to 19th Avenue S.E. (SEPA Transportation Policies) d. A traffic signal must be installed at the intersection of 19th Avenue S.E. and 121st Street S. E., per the Silver Lake Traffic Study and City Design Standards per Ordinance 555. (SEPA Transportation Policies) e. Parking must be per City Zoning Code and City Design and Construction Standards. For the 178 units proposed, a minimum of 267 parking stalls must be provided. (SEPA Transportation Policies) f. The access to the proposal must directly align with 121st Street S.E. to form a 4 -way intersection. (SEPA Transportation Policies) 32.

It is anticipated that the signal would improve existing area traffic flows, even with the additional traffic generated from this site. The signal should specifically improve access to and from area side streets by providing flow pauses or breaks in the north -south traffic. There will be about 200 feet of stacking between the signalized intersection and the 122nd Place S. E. intersection, the nearest intersection to the south.

This will probably not occur until after this project reaches full capacity and may not occur until several projects in the area are at full capacity. 33.
