The site is located at 17816 108t1, Avenue Southeast. Access to the site will be via the existing driveway on SR - 515 reconstructed to current standards. I have reviewed the site and surrounding street system. Item #39 in the City of Renton's Site Plan Review Submittal Comments identifies the following: 39. Traffic Study: Please provide 5 copies of a report prepared by a State of Washington licensed professional engineer containing the elements and information identified in the City of Renton " Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for New Development" in sufficient detail to define potential problems related to the proposed development and identify the improvements necessary to accommodate the development in a safe and efficient manner. The City's Traffic Impact Analysis Policy Guidelines for New Developments identifies the peak hour trip threshold is 20 trips. A traffic impact analysis is required when estimated vehicular traffic generated from a proposed development exceeds 20 vehicles per hour in either the AM (6:00 - 9:00) or PM (3:00 - 6:00) peak periods. A peak Dour volume of 20 vehicles per hour would relate to daily volume of approximately 200 vehicles per day. Generally this includes residential plats of 20 lots or more and commercial sites that generate 20 vehicles per hour. Redevelopment of the existing Wendy's Fast Food Restaurant with drive up service into a Dental Medical Office Building would result in a net reduction in site traffic. This letter is prepared to document this, ascertain the City Traffic Impact Fee requirement and note any obvious traffic mitigation that would be appropriate. \V�e_inc\c\-PrajeR Filea\203i.OGi -SR515 Centel Of�ice - BendimaA �evelapmen[- Renron\`uR SSSGental�ellaTGiref(icLe[ter.aoc COLOR Copy ONLY JTE, Inca BENCHMARK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY Attn: Mark A.

The plan depicts the 7,796 sf Renton Dental Arks building, 49 parking stalls and access via a reconstructed 24' wide driveway SR -515 at the same location of the existing driveway. TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION Definitions A vehicle trip is defined as a single or one direction vehicle movement with either the origin or destination (existing or entering) inside the proposed development. Traffic generated by development projects consists of the following types: Pass -By Trips: Trips made as intermediate stops on the way from an origin to a primary trip destination. \Vre-+nck\-Frojen Filen\201i 001-S 5v DentalO ice Ae ma Develapm -RIMI45A-5150un11D.111TG fr.ffil -d ­ COLOR WPY ONLY BENCHMARK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY Attn: Mark A. Sandler, President May 2, 2017 Page -3- Diverted Link Trips: Trips attracted from the traffic volume on a roadway within the vicinity of the generator but which require a diversion from that roadway to another roadway in order to gain access to the site. Captured Trips: Site trips shared by more than one land use in a multi -use development. Primary (New) Trips: Trips made for the specific purpose of using the services of the project. Trip Generation The proposed Renton Dental Arts project and existing site developments is expected to generate the vehicular trips during the average weekday, street traffic AM and PM street peak hours daily and site peak hour as shown in Table 1. The trip generation for the project is calculated using daily trip rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, 9th Edition, for Fast Food Restaurant with drive up service and Medical Office Building (ITE LUC's 934 and 720, respectively). All site trips made by all vehicles for all purposes, including commuter, visitor, and service and delivery vehicle trips are included in the trip generation values.

BENCHMARK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY Attn: Mark A. Sandler, President May 2, 2017 Page -4- Based on my analysis, the redevelopment is projected to generate significantly fewer trips than the prior site use. SITE ACCESS/OPERATIONAL REVIEW The site access is on SR - 515 via a reconstructed to current standards existing driveway and provide a throat length of about 30' from the SR - 51.5 curb line to the first parking stall in the southwest corner of the site that is appropriate. SR - 515 is generally strait and level providing good sight lines; appropriate vegetation and signage restriction in the landscaping at the driveway would apply. Raised channelization on SR - 515 limits the driveway to right turn in/out only. By Traffic Engineering inspection the operation of site access would be acceptable. TRAFFIC STUDY The City's Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development identifies a peak hour trip generation threshold of 20 trips. The site re -development from a fast food restaurant to a MOB is projected to generate less traffic; thus no Traffic Study should be required. AGENCY TRAFFIC IMPACT MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS The City of Renton has a Traffic Impact Fee program per Ordinance #5670 effective January 1, 2013. Below is a table depicting the existing and proposed site use using the City's current TIF rates data: use Size City X11 ,r�a�� � � _�*irnated ' MOR (, VC -1 g $16 d $128,400.12 Net FuLal **per City Imoact tae Schadule August. 2,01Y 2018 Parenthesis per con entiu n denote negative values The TIF calculation identifies that no additional fee to the City should be required. The existing site driveway on SR - 515 is to be re -constructed to current standards. Also appropriate vegetation and signage restriction in the landscaping at the driveway would apply to protect driver sight lines. SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS %VSeSR612 o -1 +i—�RF-515Pe�teWettaTGTre1licLe[ier.aoc COLOR COPY ONLY JTE, Inc. BENCHMARK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY Attn: Mark A. Sandler, President May 2, 2017 Page -5- This letter was prepared to identify the Trip Generation and Traffic Impact Fee - Traffic Letter of the proposed redevelopment of the Wendy's restaurant into the 7,796 sf Renton Dental Arts. The redevelopment is projected to result in a net decrease in traffic generation. The City trip threshold is 20 peak hour trips, no City classified intersection would be effected by site traffic. I also inspected the site access and conducted a TIF determination for the site. Based on my analysis I recommend that the Renton Dental Arts project be allowed with the following traffic impact mitigation measures. Construct site in accordance with appropriate City requirements. Re -construct the existing site driveway on SR - 515 to current standards ➢ No TIF should be required. Appropriate vegetation and signing restrictions in the landscaping at the site access driveway apply to protect driver sight lines. No other traffic mitigation should be necessary.

Ann Fowler, Civil Engineer II at the City is cc'd on this e-mail The site is developed with a 4,278 sf Wendy's Restaurant with drive up service with access to the site via a right in/out only driveway on SR -515, per King County IMap data. Good sight lines exist at this existing driveway. I understand the proposal is to replace the existing restaurant with a 7,000 sf Dental Office Building and utilize the existing access on SR — 515 as is. Attached is the Delta Trip Generation and TIF Estimate for the project. My Trip Generation review shows that redeveloping the existing Fast Food restaurant into a Dental Office would result in a reduction in site traffic. Additionally the City TIF should be zero based on the City's August 2016 rates that I obtained online today. I also attached the King County IMap site aerial and Assessor Report. Based on my review the redevelopment is a less intense Traffic Use and the project would use an existing access on SR -515. No new access is proposed. I have yet to see the proposed site plan; the only item is to make sure that appropriate throat length is provided at the driveway, 30' is typical. No further traffic review/documentation should be necessary for this site. Contact me with any questions/comments. Mark Mark J Jacobs, PE, PTOE JAKE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING, INC 2614 39" Ave. SW Seattle.
