CITY OF PUYALLUP PERMITTING PORTAL

Other/Miscellaneous

To accurately review this proposal, the City will need more information. Application missing information on the following items: -Pick-up/drop-off management commitments/strategies -Safety improvements. -On-street parking modifications. -Permanent infrastructure improvements. -Timelines for completion. Will there be guarantees for deliverables/milestones? -The existing closure infrastructure is temporary and was not intended to be in place past the 1-year pilot closure (now expired?). -Since there were no design or timelines proposed, will the school district be providing an assignment of funds to compete all required off-site improvements? -Fire access/turn-around design. -Detailed inventory of all PSE lights that will be transferred or removed by PSD based on City standard lighting design. -No reference to previous 1998 ROW vacation easements/mitigation Additionally, the applicant did not include previous technical memos created to support the proposed ROW vacation. These deliverables must be incorporated into the current ROW vacation application and are required per the existing licensing agreement (PRROW20241104): -Before- and After-Closure Transportation Assessment -Comprehensive summary of elements and recommendations -Vicinity Safety Assessment Approval conditions for the most recent conditional use permit (PLCUP20230109) and existing licensing agreement (PRROW20241104) have been provided below: Existing licensing agreement conditions (PRROW20241104 - approved 11/6/24) for the 1-year pilot closure: If the City does not continue the temporary street closure at the end of the 1-year pilot period, the School District will be responsible to provide mitigation to address substandard pedestrian facilities within the proposed closure area. Mitigation must address safety and operational concerns caused by increased pedestrian/vehicle conflicts (as a result of the project). Design would be required to meet best engineering practice and comply with nationally accredited design guidelines (AASHTO, MUTCD, PROWAG, NACTO, etc). Any temporary infrastructure installed by the District shall be removed (including any restoration work). The applicant will be required to coordinate with the City of Puyallup to collect and analyze before/after closure traffic data during the temporary 1-year closure. It will be the responsibility of the applicant to mitigate any impacts identified during the 1-year pilot period. A comprehensive before/after traffic analysis (scope to be approved by the City of Puyallup) must be submitted to the City for review no later than 6 months from the start of the 1-year pilot period. If the temporary closure area becomes permanent (after the 1-year pilot period) the school district will be fully responsible to design and construct infrastructure to adequately facilitate a permanent closure condition. Separate Civil permit required for this work. Permanent infrastructure must be in-place to continue the closure condition. Additionally, the district would be required to purchase vacated ROW from the City if approved by council. It should be noted that the ROW vacation process (if approved by Council) can take 6-months to complete. Coordinate with emergency services for gate placement. AutoTurn analysis may be required. District will need to provide a detailed notification plan for residents that will be impacted by the temporary closure. School district will be required to obtain a City ROW permit for the duration of the temporary closure. This permit will include required insurance/bonding and will expire at the end of the 1-year pilot period. Other than for Emergency access vehicles, school district maintenance vehicles, and City maintenance vehicles, the closure area will fully restricted to motorized vehicular traffic for the duration of 1-year pilot program. A comprehensive before/after traffic analysis (scope to be approved by the City of Puyallup) must be submitted to the City for review no later than 6 months from the start of the 1-year pilot period. Traffic Analysis scope shall include the following (but not limited to): Collect intersection turning movement counts + segment tube counts during AM/PM peak (roadway + system peak). Data collection may be expanded from the original TIA scope. Multiple day counts required. Report vehicle delay at intersections determined by the City (this may be expanded from the original study locations) Delay will be reported based on current HCM methodology. • TWSC intersections must report overall delay based on worst movement. Collecting queuing data at key locations (must coordinate with City on these locations). Assess parent drop-off locations. If necessary, provide recommendations for improvements. Safety assessment of surrounding area. Provide recommendations for possible countermeasures if necessary. Evaluate existing on-street parking issues in the surrounding neighborhood. • Provide recommendations to mitigate concerns from the public (PSD policy changes to limit student vehicle parking, increased on-street parking restrictions, changes to designated bus pickup/drop-off locations, etc.) For the possibility of a permanent closure, provide recommendations for necessary improvements. The City expects significant modifications to the roadway would be necessary (channelization, curb alignments, permanent barricades, landscaping, signage, lighting, fire access, etc.). It would be responsibility of the School District to design and install these improvements. If the City does not continue the temporary street closure at the end of the 1-year pilot period, the School District will be responsible to provide mitigation to address substandard pedestrian facilities within the proposed closure area. • Traffic analysis shall include possible mitigation strategies to address safety and operational concerns caused by increased pedestrian/vehicle conflicts (as a result of the project). • Design would be required to meet best engineering practice and comply with nationally accredited design guidelines (AASHTO, MUTCD, PROWAG, NACTO, etc). Any temporary infrastructure installed by the District shall be removed (including any restoration work). Conditional Use Permit approval conditions (PLCUP20230109 - approved 7/30/24): The City of Puyallup acknowledges the current proposal (to install portable classroom space to accommodate the demolition of the existing Library Science Building), will not increase student capacity or cause a net increase in vehicle trips associated with the campus. The previously submitted traffic scoping document assumed the maximum program capacity (1862 students) to represent previously approved and constructed baseline capacity. The City believes the base student capacity should be assumed at 1650 students. However, since the current proposal will not result in additional vehicle trips, the City can resolve capacity discrepancies at a later date. If the City does not continue the temporary street closure at the end of the 1-year pilot period, the School District will be responsible to provide mitigation to address substandard pedestrian facilities within the proposed closure area. Mitigation must address safety and operational concerns caused by increased pedestrian/vehicle conflicts (as a result of the project).

Additionally, the district would be required to purchase vacated ROW from the City if approved by council. It should be noted that the ROW vacation process (if approved by Council) can take 6-months to complete. School Districted will be required to submit a detailed temporary roadway closure plan to be reviewed/approved by the City prior to executing the 1-year pilot temporary roadway closure. The roadway closure will include the following items but are not limited to: -Clearly identify the extent of the proposed roadway closure including any channelization devices and MUTCD compliant signage. Roadway closure plan must be reviewed/approved by the City prior to implementing temporary roadway closure. -Coordinate with emergency services for gate placement. AutoTurn analysis may be required. -Temporary closure shall utilize MUTCD compliant gates. Gates shall be fully retrorefectorized on both sides with vertical stripes alternately red and white at 16-inch intervals measured horizontally. This guidance comes directly from the MUTCD (Section 2B.68). Recommend installing end of roadway object markers (OM4-1) similar to the City’s Type III Barricade standard (01.01.21). The bottom of the retroreflectorized area shall be located 3.5 to 4.5 feet above the roadway surface. -Gates are required to have KNOX locks for emergency access. -Temporary/permanent design considerations to allow bicycle movements on 7th St NW as described in the Active Transportation Plan. -In accordance with MUTCD, signage for extended duration traffic control are required to be post mounted.. -Verify SSD, sign legibility distance for vehicles approaching the temporary closure. -District will need to provide a detailed notification plan for residents that will be impacted by the temporary closure. -School district will be required to obtain a City ROW permit for the duration of the temporary closure. This permit will include required insurance/bonding and will expire at the end of the 1-year pilot period. -Other than for Emergency access & City maintenance vehicles, the closure area will fully restricted to motorized vehicular traffic for the duration of 1-year pilot program.

See Document Markup

Any portion of the public stormwater system on 7th St NW/W Main that falls within this vacation will need to exist within a public easement. Reasonable, maintenance vehicle ingress and egress will need to exist. Any utility setback standards will also need to be observed.

See Document Markup

There is one single stormwater CB at this approx location. Flows from this CB travel east through an existing easement and will need to be addressed with this new vacation.

See Document Markup

The existing sanitary sewer that falls within this proposed vacation will need to be addressed with the same easement requests as the stormwater system.

Comment

A street exhibit is required as specified by Traffic's corrections. The exhibit should include a callout for the change of billing for the PSE streetlight on 7TH ST SW & W Main.
