415 RIVERSIDE RD 2019-02-14 - Laserfiche WebLink

The eastbound left turn at a two-way stop controlled study intersection of East Marine View Drive/Summit Avenue is anticipated to operate at LOS F in 2023 during PM peak hours with, or without, the proposed project. (exhibit 11, transportation impact analysis, page 4) 38. The authors of the TIA proposed mitigation of traffic impacts resulting from the proposed development. They included frontage improvements of half-width frontage/roadway improvements on Riverside Road that would include sidewalk, curb and gutter. In addition, off-site improvements which have been recommended would be through payment of a proportionate share of the identified LOS intersections. According to the TIA, the proportionate share mitigation would be approximately 11.2 percent of the cost of the improvement. The proportionate share fee would be required to be paid by the project in addition to payment of transportation impact fees. (exhibit 11, transportation impact analysis, page 4) 39. Payment of City transportation impact fees would mitigate impact to City roadways. The preliminary transportation impact fee estimate for the proposed project is $597,600, based on 249 PM peak hour trips generated and $2,400 per trip. (exhibit 11, transportation impact analysis, page 5) 40. As previously noted, existing utilities systems are available to the site. The City and Snohomish County PUD reviewed the proposal and determined there is capacity in their utility systems to serve this project. The Applicant will be required to pay system development fees for use of the existing facilities. The project will not adversely impact utility systems. (exhibit 1, staff report, page 7; exhibit 15a, Public Works comments; testimony of Mr. Jimerson) 41. The City's Police and Fire Departments reviewed the project and indicated the project would not adversely affect their ability to serve the area. No parks will be adversely affected. The project will provide public parking for the new recreation trails to be constructed along the Snohomish River. Schools will not be affected.

As part of the proposed project, the Applicant requested that the interior property landscaping width be reduced from the 20-foot standard to 10 feet. EMC 19.35.010 includes Table 6.1, Development Standards Table that set forth the landscaping categories for each zone. The Applicant's request is for a reduction from the 20-foot standard to a 10-foot landscape strip. 43. The City identified EMC 19.35.070(A) as the ordinance that regulates landscape standard modifications. The proposed request of the Applicant qualifies pursuant to Subsection 3 of the Ordinance.
