I am forwarding comments from Mr. Matt Hanbey. He also signed up to speak in person at tonight’s meeting. I am waiting to hear back to see if he intended to submit his comments in writing

Hello:
I signed up last night (2/5) to speak at the City Council Mtg tonight. I saw the option to submit written comments so am also doing that here.
WRITTEN COMMENTS
I live in the North Renton Neighborhood, about two blocks from a proposed apartment development on N Logan Avenue ("Logan SIx") on N Logan Avenue, directly across from the football stadium
parking lot. I am concerned about the impact such a large-scale (100 unit) project will have on the neighborhood, including traffic, as the building would border the residential neighborhood.
-- LOT: the vacant lot on N Logan Avenue between N 3rd Street and N 4th Street is wide but it is quite shallow. It is difficult to imagine any large development on this property, due
to it being a narrow rectangle and not a square. That must be why the developers propose to build up 100 feet, six stories, almost the entire length of the property between N 3rd and
N 4th Streets.
-- MASSING/SIXE: There are no large-scaled apartments in the N Renton Neighborhood. The size of the building, which visually is really a block-long 100 foot wall, is out of character
with the adjoining land uses. At least two blocks of residential houses will be visually impacted by the sheer size of the building.
-- TRAFFIC: if there are 100 units, and despite parking requirements, it is easy to imagine more than 100 additional vehicles traveling around the proposed development. It does not seem
consistent for the city of the developer to allow entrances and exits on N 3rd and N 4th streets if vehicles are using the N Renton Neighborhood to travel to and from the proposed development.
-- CITY POLICY: see a city resolution from 35 years ago. Yes, it is not a new resolution, or even a recent action, but the city did make clear statements that development should only
impact the N Renton Neighborhood to the minimum extent possible. See attached city resolution.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I really wish the proposed development was something different. It is quite large, will impact the west side of the N Renton Neighborhood, and will cause additional cars travelling
on residential streets nearby.
1) If built, I believe at the very least vehicles should not be able to exit the property on to N 3rd Street. That would keep traffic impacts much lighter in the surrounding neighborhood.
2) Vehicles should use N Logan Avenue to enter the property-- there is already a curb cut there that indicates access via N Logan Avenue.
3) Vehicles should exit the property on N Logan Avenue and possibly N 4th Street. That will keep the vehicles within the higher density zoning allowed and minimize impacts to the N
Renton Neighborhood.
An entrance on N 3rd Street is also a possibility, as it is within the higher density zoning but, again, an exit on N 3rd would impact the residential area as cars must travel through
the neighborhood due to N 3rd being a one-way street.
Thank you in advance for the opportunity to speak at the Council Meeting, and thanks for taking written comments beforehand.
