Sight distance analysis may be required during civil review to ensure driveway(s) can meet City standards for entering sight distance. Any sight obstructions (signage, trees, fences, etc.) must be identified. Both site driveways must be upgraded to meet City/ADA standards. Drop approach 01.02.18 will be applicable at this location. During civil design channelization/striping plan will be required. Proposed channelization arrows & striping cannot be located on sidewalk. Arrows must be thermoplastic During civil design AutoTurn analysis will be required to ensure design vehicles can safely navigate site. Remove on-site loading zone within driveway throat. This design will likely cause operational issues that will impact E Main. Call out replacement of existing easterly driveway with curb/gutter/sidewalk 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. Per previous communication: -Existing 8ft sidewalk can remain, commercial driveways must be upgraded to meet ADA & City standards. -Eastern driveway removed and replaced with City standard sidewalk. -You’ll need to work with planning to ensure your design can retain existing street trees. Traffic Scoping: Provide details on how exiting building will be used in the future If future use is not known, scoping worksheet will need to assume worst case scenario based on drive-thru type land uses. Provide operational analysis of nearby signalized intersections (5th St SE/E Main, 15th St SE/E Main). Slight variations in trip distribution estimates will trigger thresholds for analysis. 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

One public comment was received via telephone by a neighboring property owner, Michael Ewing at 1033 E Main. He would like to express his concern over the proposed trash enclosure. The existing Taco Time trash enclosure onsite has allegedly resulted in rodents becoming an issue on their property. The proposed trash enclosure is proposed to be located closer to their property line where his residence is. In addition to this, he stated that the existing Taco Time drive-through produces a significant amount of sound and light that has impacts on their property. Mr. Ewing is concerned with the addition of another drive-through and associated light and sound impacts. He would like to recommend a possible sound or visual buffer such as “insulated” vinyl fencing.

The plans show an 8’ deep pedestrian-oriented plaza area along the eastern portion of the southern façade, but not along the western portion. Please increase the size of the plaza space on the western side of the façade to a minimum of 8’. Required bike parking has none been shown on the plans. Since the plaza space is required to include amenities, it may be beneficial to add the bike parking along the western portion of the southern façade in addition to increasing that space to 8’ in depth.

SEPA Checklist 1. Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP): DAHP is requesting that an Inadvertent Discovery Plan is created and kept onsite during construction. Their comment e-mail is viewable through the CityView Portal. 2. Puyallup Tribe of Indians: The Puyallup Tribe has stated that 1115 E Main is located within a high probability area for impacting cultural resources. They are asking for verification as to whether or not the project will be removing the existing parking lot in order to complete a new/larger parking lot or if you are only adding on. If the existing parking lot is getting torn up, it will need an Archaeological monitory during ground disturbance. Their comment e-mail is viewable through the CityView Portal. 3. Department of Ecology: The Department of Ecology provided a comment e-mail. This comment e-mail is viewable through the CityView Portal. 4. Nisqually Indian Tribe: The Nisqually Indian Tribe provided a comment letter. This comment letter is viewable through the CityView Portal. 5. One public comment was received via telephone by a neighboring property owner, Michael Ewing at 1033 E Main. He would like to express his concern over the proposed trash enclosure. The existing Taco Time trash enclosure onsite has allegedly resulted in rodents becoming an issue on their property. The proposed trash enclosure is proposed to be located closer to their property line where his residence is. In addition to this, he stated that the existing Taco Time drive-through produces a significant amount of sound and light that has impacts on their property. Mr. Ewing is concerned with the addition of another drive-through and associated light and sound impacts. He would like to recommend a possible sound or visual buffer such as “insulated” vinyl fencing.

This calculation is possible but requires detailed basin and storage sizing clarifications. You must consider the amount of storage the non-disturbed existing hard surface area will be using in the existing infiltration gallery per the previously constructed standards.
