Task 6: Master Plan Map Update <br />The Draft Master Plan Map prepared under Phase 4 will be revised to show: <br />1) Wetlands that will be disturbed or removed and buffer areas of remaining wetlands on the property. <br />2) Stormwater ponds that will be designed for wetlands mitigation based on impacts to wetlands identified <br />above. <br />3) Floodplain modifications, which includes filling in floodplain ditch “D-1” and constructing a new ditch <br />around the perimeter of the site to handle flood flows. <br />4) Revisions to access roads and facility locations. <br />In addition, the Pre-development comments received from the City on January 23, 2019 will be addressed in a <br />Comment Response Table and submitted with the final Master Plan Map and drawings. <br />Deliverables: <br /> Comment Response Table <br /> Develop one Draft and Final Updated Master Plan Map and supporting engineering drawings <br /> Pre-Development Conference -- Response Comments Review Table <br />Task 7: Traffic Impact Analysis <br />Jacobs will conduct a traffic impact analysis (TIA) and prepare a technical memorandum that <br />summarizes the traffic evaluation of the proposed Kittitas County Transfer Station. The purpose of the <br />TIA is to evaluate the traffic impacts of the proposed facility, at the study intersection of West <br />University Way/US 97/N Dolarway Road (Roundabout) and the proposed site access driveway(s) along <br />US 97. <br />The TIA will review existing 2019 and projected 2046 No Build and Build peak hour traffic volumes <br />(utilizing trip generation estimated in the Basis of Design report) along US 97 accessing the proposed <br />facility and at the study intersection. The analysis will identify needed improvements including off-site <br />road and entrance way improvements. The site access driveway analysis will help determine if <br />southbound left turn and/or northbound right turn channelization is needed along US 97 to manage <br />queuing at the site and determine if additional turn pockets are needed at the proposed site access <br />driveway. If queuing impacts to US 97 are expected with the proposed development, the TIA will <br />recommend mitigation measures. The TIA will also review the Comprehensive Plan Transportation <br />Section, evaluate the need for connector roads in the project’s vicinity and recommend revisions to the <br />Transportation section of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />The results of this traffic analysis will be documented in a technical memorandum with <br />recommendations. Recommended improvements will be presented as part of the project’s proposed <br />site plan redevelopment review process. Draft copy of the technical memorandum will be submitted to <br />the County for review and comments. The final technical memorandum will incorporate comments <br />received as appropriate and will be used for in the application for the City’s site plan approval. <br />Assumptions <br /> One meeting with City of Ellensburg staff and up to two meetings with WSDOT to discuss site access and <br />TIA. One Jacobs engineer will travel for these meetings. <br /> The analysis will be conducted for Saturday peak hour that is expected to see the higher number of inbound <br />trips to the proposed facility. <br /> Existing 2019 peak hour turning movement counts at the Roundabout study intersection and along US 97 <br />near the site, will be provided by the County.
