The proposed pumping for the project detention system does not meet the 2019 Ecology manual Flow Control Standard for Minimum Requirement #7. I have not seen a project at the City of Puyallup be able to meet the flow control standard when pumping on the outlet side of a storm system. The pump must be the mechanism modeled in the continuous modeling calculation with the point of compliance being the discharge leaving the site. Provide a revised stormwater design that meets the flow control duration standard. [Drainage report, pg 22]

Provide right of way dedication for the classification of S Meridian. The sidewalk on the western side of Meridian shall be maintained in the public right of way. [Site Plan]

Access: S Meridian along the site is designated as a Major Arterial. City standards (Section 101.10.1) require minimum spacing of 300 feet from the intersection & driveways measured between closest edges of the driveway. Per City standards, commercial driveways must be aligned with intersections/driveways across the street. Proposed driveway & existing driveway access do not meet current engineering standards. -Proposed driveway is located approximately 65ft south of the WSDOT EB SR-512 signal (between the closest edges of each access – PC/PT). This is significantly less than the 300ft spacing requirement -Existing driveway is located approximately 170ft north of S Meridian/15th Ave SW signal (between the closest edges of each access – PC/PT). This is significantly less than the 300ft spacing requirement. To mitigate deficient driveway spacing along this heavily congested arterial section, existing access shall be restricted to right-in/right-out. Per Puyallup Municipal Code Section 11.08.135, the applicant/owner would be expected to construct half-street improvements including curb, gutter, planter strip, sidewalk, roadway base, pavement, and street lighting. Any existing improvements which are damaged now or during construction, or which do not meet current City Standards, shall be replaced. -S Meridian is classified as a Major Arterial and shall consist of curb, gutter, 8ft sidewalks, 10ft planter strip, and streetlights. The improvements shall be from street centerline. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, additional right-of-way (ROW) on S Meridian may need to be dedicated to the city. Traffic Impact fees (TIF) will be assessed in accordance with fees adopted by ordinance, per PMC 21.10. Impact fees are subject to change and are adopted by ordinance. The applicant shall pay the proportionate impact fees adopted at the time of building permit application AutoTurn analysis will be required to ensure the largest anticipated design vehicle can safely maneuver throughout site and driveways. -Analysis must include the following: -All movements need to start straight and end straight. -Make sure “Turn Wheels from Stop” is not selected. -Please include the template of the vehicles used -For clarity, wheel & overhang paths should be different colors. -Include the appropriate fire apparatus. - Clearly identify any encroachment into adjacent lanes of traffic. For the AutoTurn analysis, include the existing 15th Ave SW driveway access. Due to access restrictions on S Meridian, many vehicles will use this driveway for outbound left turns. The existing S Meridian driveway must meet minimum commercial driveway requirements (35ft curb radius, 30ft width). This could change based on the design vehicles used for the AutoTurn analysis. Design must provide at least 200ft of on-site queue storage for proposed car wash. Identify this queue storage on preliminary site plan Evaluate existing ADA ramp at the SW corner of SR-512 traffic signal Evaluate the need for ADA handrail along S Meridian frontage (back of sidewalk). Sight distance analysis required -City standards require 415ft of ESD, 400ft of SSD (0.5ft object height). -Setback 14.5ft from face of curb to evaluate sight lines. -Identify street tree placement, monument signage, fences, etc. that could obstruct sight distance. -Sight distance analysis shall account future bus pad/shelter location Traffic Scoping Worksheet: Traffic Scoping Worksheet needs to account for EV charging stations. Define trip generation assumptions (gross trips, pass-by trips, diverted trips, etc.) Per previous comments, the City will not allow an additional non-standard driveway along S Meridian. Existing access must be access restricted to right-in/right-out. Update trip distribution & assignment based on these requirements. Once the traffic scoping document has been updated, must coordinate with the City on the scope of the TIA - To ensure unserved demand is captured in your delay analysis, existing queue lengths need to be collected with turning movement counts. Provide a detailed description for how unserved demand will be accounted for in the TIA. -Use 3% annual growth rate. -Analyze the need for a right turn pocket on S Meridian -S Meridian/15th Ave SW shall be analyzed during the AM & PM peak hour. Existing queuing needs to be collected for each lane group. -Safety analysis will be required at S Meridian/15th Ave SW & S Meridian/EB SR-512 intersections based on crash data from the last 5 years. -City can provide signal timing plans for intersections under our control.

Each internal island shall include a minimum of two (2) trees selected from the Class III or Class IV street tree list shown in section 12.9 or12.10 of the VMS.; fifty percent (50%) of trees in internal islands shall be Class III or Class IV evergreen conifers.
