SHINPOCH, MAYOR • PLANNING DEPARTMENT 235 - 2550 Q09,rca SEPZ EV'0�P MEMORANDUM February 5, '1981 TO: File FROM: Dave Clemans, Acting Planning Director Dick Houghton, Acting Public Works Director RE: HOMECRAFT SHORT PLAT ERADCO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT RAINIER SAND & GRAVEL MINING AND EXCAVATION PERMIT RE: EDMONDS AVENUE N.E. AND N.E. 3RD INTERSECTION Following a discussion on Friday, January 30th, the Planning and Public Works Departments have concluded the following as it relates to the intersection of Edmonds Avenue N.E. and N.E. 3rd Street. As of this date we hrive proposals from Homecraft for approximately 280 multiple family dwelling units and from ERADCO for approximately 425 multiple family units. The net effect of these two developments is to increase traffic flows on N.E. 3rd by in excess of 400 vehicles during peak hours, and 4500 vehicles per day. As a result, it is the conclusion of these departments that access from these two developme-ts to N.E. 3rd Street must be in the form of a public street right-of-way developed to normal City street standards. These improvements : 'iould minimize or eliminate the impact of additional traffic on Bronson Way N. from the Homecraft development, and provide, for access c` the ERADCO project into the traffic stream on N.E. 3rd. GENERAL STANDARDS OF DESIGN Edmonds Avenue N.E. north of N.E. 3rd shall be constructed as part of the Homecraft Short Plat and multiple family develop- ment to include intersection improvements on N.E.. 3rd providinq for 5-lane street section with left turn channelization and a traffic signal providing for left turn movements at this intersection. The ERADCO PUD shall provide for the connection of Edmonds Avenue N.E. to N.E. 3rd Street, provide for 5-lane N.E. 3rd Street channelization including left t,irn lanes, and signalize the intersection. Likewise, the Rainier Sand & Gravel mining , excavation and grading permit shall provide Memorandum to File February ,, 1981 Page -2- for the dedication of the extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. from N.E. 3rd to the ERADCO property. Since no development is proposed at this time in this grading permit application, only the right-of-way dedication will be required at this time. Future development of Edmonds Avenue N.E. extending southerly to Maple Valley Highway will be considered at a later time. PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES Since both the Homecraft and ERADCO multiple family developments will be required to install the public street linkage of Edmonds Avenue N.E. to N.E. 3rd, it is suggested that this intersection be a 4-way intersection located at the southerly terminus of the existing Edmonds Avenue right-of-way at N.E. 3rd. This will ensure the minimum widening, channeliz�,tion and left turn lanes in N. E. 3rd. This proposal will also only require one traffic signal to be constructed. Both Homecraft and ERADCO should discuss distribution of the costs related to the intersection improvements and traffic signal installation. The ERADCO portion of the Edmonds Avenue extension would be constructed over the riqht-of-way provided by Rainier Sand s Gravel in its permit. Should the two applicants be unable to mutually agree to the necessary improvements at Edmonds and N.E. 3rd, two traffic signals located at approxi- mately 350 foot centers appears to be an acceptable alternative, although considerably more costly. MAPLE. VALLEY EXTENSION OF EDMONDS AVENUE N.E. As a part of any development proposal for the Rainier Sand 6 Gravel Co, site, extension of Edmonds Avenue N.E. southerly to provide connection to the Maple Valley Highway in the vicinity of the existing Gull gasoline service station should be provided. The alignment of this street right-of-way should be such that properties in the immediate vici:ity can access to this street in order to provide access to Maple Valley Highway rather than the requirement to connect to the N,E. 3rd and N.E. 4th street corridors.
