KERSEY III ROAD EVALUATION
This evaluation is based upon the following:
. City of Auburn Design and Construction Standards
. 2001, A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 4th Edition prepared by
the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
. Washington State Department of Transportation Design Manual (WSDOT)
. The City of Auburn's November 1, 2002 letter responding to DBM Consulting
Engineer's October 17,2002 request for deviation.
A copy of the relevant City of Auburn's design tables and AASHTO exhibits are attached.
GENERAL
DMB Consulting Engineers (DBM) had prepared and submitted for review several road
alternatives. Each of those alignments provided a through connection from the end of the
existing Evergreen Way S.E., along the west side of the property, easterly to the Kersey
Way/53rd Avenue East intersection. The alignment this evaluation analyzes is shown on Figure
1. The approximate roadway length is 4,500 feet.
A design concern is the relatively steep terrain the roadway is to traverse. From Evergreen Way
to Kersey Way there is approximately 140 feet of elevation difference. The area between is hilly
with slopes varying from 1 percent to 20 percent and greater. Portions of the vertical alignment
are to be established at the allowable steeper grade. The steeper downhill grades will require
additional stopping site distances.
Along the easterly 800 feet :t of the roadway alignment the existing terrain steepens
significantly. The alignment depicts relatively sharp curvatures to gain elevation and minimize
the amount of grading required.
To reduce the City of Auburn's design criteria along this portion of the alignment, DBM had
submitted a request for deviation for 6 items. See Figure 2. The City of Auburn had approved
all but one item. See Figure 3 for the November 1,2002 City of Auburn letter.
For ease of presentation and convenience the following identification prefixes are used:
. HC = Horizontal Curve
. T = Horizontal Target
. INT = Street/Roadway Intersection
. VC = Vertical Curve
1
For presentation, a separate figure of DBM's proposed alignment was prepared. See Figure 4.
This plan provides a slightly larger and convenient scale for presentation. This plan was labeled
with prefixes for horizontal curves, tangents and intersections.
Per the City of Auburn's requirement, this roadway is classified as Residential Collector Arterial.
It is to be constructed with 2 travel lanes and a 2-way left turn lane. Due to the steep roadway
grades, bike lanes are not anticipated. The design speed is 35 mph, using an operating speed of
30 mph. Generally, this road classification does not have direct access from adjacent driveways.
Horizontal Consideration
The alignment follows a curvilinear route across the property connecting Evergreen Way S.E. to
Kersey Way. Eight intersections are shown on the plan. Four-way intersections are located at
INT2 and INT6. The remaining intersections are three-way.
Table 1, Horizontal Factors, (see Figure 5) summarizes the horizontal curve radius' and tangent
lengths. Dimensions were obtained from the CADD files submitted by DBM, dated November
5, 2002.
Table 1 shows that HC1, HC3, and HC4 would meet the City of Auburn's Design and
Construction Standards. With adjustment, HC2 could be enlarged to meet the City's standards.
HC5 and HC6 have a radius of 300 feet. This will meet the City of Auburn deviation approval
provided the design meets AASHTO requirements. See Deviation 2, on Figure 3. From
AASHTO Exhibit 3-14, see Figure 6, the minimum radius for a 30 mph design and 4% super-
elevation rate is 300 feet.
Tangent lengths between reverse curves meet the City's requirements. These are tangents Tl,
T3, T4 and T5. Tangent T2 is between 2 curves in the same direction. See super-elevation
considerations for discussion of tangent lengths between HC5 and HC6 and T6.
Intersection Design Elements
The connecting on-site roads accessing this collector would be classified as Local Residential
Streets. The intersection spacing provided exceeds the City of Auburn's standards except the
spacing between INT4 and INT5, and at INT6 and INT7. Additional separation will be
necessary between INT4 and INT5 or a variance be approved. It appears that INT6 and INT7
could be aligned to create a 4-way intersection.
The horizontal approach angles for Intersections INTI, INT2, INT3, INT4, INT5 and INT8 are
approximately 90 degrees, meeting the City of Auburn's requirements. The approach angle for
INT6 and INT7 exceeds maximums and will require approval form the City Engineer.
A separate plan, see Figure 6, was prepared to show the intersection site distance triangles. It is
assumed that the site distance triangles will be for controlled intersections, as each of the
2
intersecting local access road will be provided with stop signs. See Figure 7 for current City of
Auburn sight Distance Requirements.
Intersection site distance triangles were scaled on to Figure 6. It appears that INT5 and INT7
would have areas available for the required site distances. This is assuming that other
requirements are met, i.e. shrubs/tree height and fences.
The remaining intersections have potential site line impacts. The site lines encroach into
adjacent lots which could require adjustments to the final site plan or, if acceptable to the City
Engineer, easements could be provided. The sight line impacts the following:
. INTI - Northwestern and northeastern lots.
. INT2 - Northwestern and possibly the northeastern lot.
. INT3 - Northwestern and northeastern lots.
. INT4 - Northwestern lot.
. INT6 - Northwestern and northeastern lots.
. INT8 - Northeastern lot.
Vertical Factors
Due to the relatively steep existing ground portion of the vertical alignment were designed at the
maximum grade allowed, 12%. These are shown for the tangent grade between the connection at
Evergreen Way S.E. and VCl and the tangent grade between VC7 and VC8. A 10% grade is
shown between VC5 and VC6.
The preliminary profile appears to have been designed using K values per AASHTO. However,
the City of Auburn's design criteria is to use WSDOT. Currently, WSDOT does not accept
AASHTO's stopping site distance criteria.
The WSDOT Figures do not have a graph for the minimum stopping site distance of 250 feet.
Therefore, calculations were completed to verify vertical curve lengths. See Figure 8.
From the calculations VC2, VC3 and VC5 have lengths that would provide the minimum
stopping distances.
The lengths for VCl and VC4 do not provide for the minimum stopping site distances. Those
calculations assume vehicle headlights as the design criteria. To reduce the length of sag vertical
curves, streetlights could be utilized. The vertical curve length would then be designed for driver
comfort. Those calculations are included in Figure 8. VCl and VC4 will still require adjustment
to meet the minimum stopping site distance.
The vertical curves at VC6, VC7 and VC8 are to be designed to meet a 30-mph design speed per
Deviation Request Approval. These vertical curves will require adjustments to meet the
minimum site distance required.
3
Intersection locations were added to the DBM design profiles to verify intersection landings and
entering site distance. Intersections INTI, INT3 and INT8 do not provide the required landings.
The intersection landing at the Kersey Way/53rd Avenue East intersection will have to meet the
City of Auburn's requirements ofa 3% maximum grade.
Entering site distances have been provided for INTI, INT2 and INT3. The remaining
intersections lack the City of Auburn's required entering site distance in at least one direction.
Entering site distance information or topographic data has not been provided for the Kersey
Way/53rd Avenue East intersection. It is assumed that adequate site distances are available.
Preliminary design profiles have not been provided for the intersecting local residential roads. It
is assumed that these intersections will meet the City of Auburn's requirements.
Super-elevation Evaluation
Per the Request for Deviation, the City of Auburn has approved the use of super-elevation for
HC5 and HC6. Typically, tangent run out and runoff are provided for transitions into and out of
super-elevated curves and between reverse curves. No tangent lengths are shown on the
preliminary design alignments. These transitions should be provided, especially between HC6
and the Kersey Way/53rd Avenue East intersection.
HC5 and HC6 Site Distance
DBM has proposed using 1: 1 cut slopes along the south side of road between HC5 and HC6.
See Figure 9. An evaluation was completed to determine if the minimum stopping site distance
is available and not being impeded by the cut bank. Larger stopping sight distances should be
available due to the sharp curvature.
Form the evaluation, the critical areas between Stations 35+50:t and 38+50:t within HC5. It
appears that the sight lines will be within the right-of-way, where the future grade is
approximately that of the top of curb. Final designs should evaluate the area again to verify that
the minimum stopping sight distance is provided.

RE: Request for Deviation from the City of Auburn Design and Construction Standards for the
Kersey Three Preliminary Plat Application, File #PL TOO-OOO6; DBM Job No. 99023.03
Dear:Mr. Dowdy:
This letter is to request a deviation from the City of Auburn Design and Construction Standards
with respect to the Residential Collector Arteriil standards. The street classification for Evergreen
Way is a Residential Collector Arterial; the following are the specific issues that deviate from the City
Standards~
1.. The design speed for a Residential Collector Arteri3l. is 35 rniles per hour. However, we
request that the design speed for the eastern 800 feet be reduced to 30 mile~ per hour. The
reason for deviation is that the minimum radius required at a 35 mile per hour design speed
is too large to feasibly construct the road given the slope constraints. The 35 miles per hour
radius forces the road to travel perpendicular with the slope instead of traversing it. A lower
design speed on such a steep slope will be better for safety and traffic should naturally slow
down as it approaches the intersection with Kersey Way.
2. The City of Auburn Design and Construction Standards dictate that the minimum horizontal
curve radius be 655 feet for a. 30 mile per hour design speed In order to climb or descend
from the hill to the west of Kersey Way) the radius will need to be reduced to the minimum
as dictated by MSHfO and King County design standards. We request that the minimum
horizontal curve radius be reduced to 300 feet for the eastern 800 feet of Evergreen Way so
as to alleviate problems that would arise from having to cut into and climb the very steep
side slopes that run parallel to Kersey Way. Reducing the minimum radii to 300 feet would
allow the road to r.ra:verse the slope instead of climbing it parallclt thus greatly reducing the
need to cut into the hill and also alleviating the need for retaining walls.
3. The City of Auburn. Design and Construction Standards state that arterial street intersections
approach each other at 90 degree angles. We request that a 15 degree skew be allowed in .
order to minimize the length of roadway that must travel parallel with the slope of the
hillside. This will decrease the amount of cut that will be .required to traverse the hill
Additionally, AASHTO allows a 15 degree skew for intersections. Sight distance will not be
an issue witb. the proposed skew.

4. The City of Auburn Design and Constnlction Standards request that a 3% landing approach
be created at the intersection of arterial streets. We request that a SOlo landing be allowed in
order to decrease the amount of cut that will be required to create a landing approach at the
intersection. AASHrO allows a 5% lancling and we believe that 5% is a safe and reasonable
request for traversing down the exiscing slope at the intersection of Kersey Way.
5. We request that the minimum tangent length between reverse curves be reduced to zero for
the eastern 800 feet of Evergreen Way. This is due to the consttaints that are imposed by
the site's topography. King County and AASHTO Street standards do not require any
tangents between reversed horizontal curves in a roadway with a 30 mile per hour design
speed
6. We request to super elevate the roadway-to 4% through the proposed curves on the eastern
800 feet of Evergreen Way. In. order to accommodate for the smaller centerline radii and
lower design speed, Evergreen Way-will be superelevated in order to increase rider comfort.
increase o:affic safety~ and to aid in matching grades. The City of Auburn does not allow
super elevation withOut a deviation, however AASI-ITO and King County do allow for this.
These deviations are being requested due to the extremely steep slopes of the site and also the sight
distance issues th.u; were addressed, due to the addition of the Evergreen Way intersection of Kersey
Way. The connection of Evergreen Way to Kersey Way is in conformance with the Ci1y of Auburn
Comprehensive Trnffic Plan. However, the steep street grades, reduced design speed, and smaller
centerline radii are needed to traverse the steep slopes from Kersey W';Cf intO the development to ~e
west.
We appreciate your consideration of this deviation, and in conformance with the procedures
outlined in the Design and Construction Standards, our office will schedule a meeting with you
within the next ten days. Please feel free to call Aaron Meilleur or me if you have any questions or .
commentS regatding these issues.

Sight distance is defined as the length of roadway that Is entirely visible to the driver. All
roads, intersections and access points should be designed to provide adequate sight
distance for all normal driving situations.
10.01.1 Sight Distance Categories
When designing roads, intersections, and access points within the City. the following four
types of $ight distance situations shall be taken into account:
10.01.1.1 Stopping Sight Distance
Stopping sight distance is the distance required for a vehicle traveling at or near the
road's design speed to come to a stop before colliding with a fixed object in the
roadway. This is the distance the design vehicle travels between the time the driver
sees the object and applies the brakes combined with the distance traveled during
braking. As road conditions deteriorate due to weather and other occurrences. more
sight distance will be required.
10.01.1.2 Deetsion Sight Distance
Decision sight distance is greater than stopping sight distance. This measurement is
used in cases where the driVer is required to detect unexpected or confusing situations
and then make appropriate changes in their driving style/method. This could mean
changing lanes, slowing down or coming to a complete stop. Decision sight distance
will need to be addressed when designing roads with tight turns and unexpected
driveway and street connections.
1 O.O? .1.3 Passing Sight Distance
Passing sight distance should be addressed when designing two lane roads where
vehicle speeds can differ by a considerable amount depending on the driver. When
passing sight distance requirements are applicable, the guidelines presented in the
latest edition of AASHTO shall be used.
10.01.1.4 Intersection Sight Distance
Intersection sight distances are the distances required for a driver entering a street to
decide whether or not there is a sufficient gap In traffic. Figure 10-1 shows the sight
distance triangles required for left and right turn from a controlled intersection (an
intersection with a stop/yield prior to proceeding) and driveways. Figure 10-2 shows
the sight distance triangles required for left and right turns from an uncontrolled
intersection (intersections without a stop/yeild). Sight triangles for controlled
intersection shall be measured from a point, fourteen and a half feet (14.5') behind the
face of the curb, edge of traveled way if no curb exists, and incorporate the distances
shown In Table 10-2. Sight distance triangles for uncontrolled intersections are
isosceles right triangles incorporating the distances shown in Table 10-2. When roads
of different speeds intersect, the higher speed shall be used for all sight distance
measurements.
For a more in-depth explanation on sight distance, please seethe MSHTO manual "A
Policy on Geomebic Design of Highways and StreetsN latest edition and the ITE Traffic
Engineers Handbook.
10.01.2 Sight ~Istance Design
Table 10..2 contains the minimum distances that should be used for stopping sight
distance, decision sight distance. and intersection sight distance. These distances were
taken from the AASHTO manual and are for level roadways. As roadway grades change.
03/15102:.........................~.:. Design and Construction standards ....."................Page 1
JAN-06-2003 11:54 P.02/04
!
the sight distance requirements will also change. This table should only be used as a
quick reference guide for sight distances requirements- For cases where roadways are
not level or other problems arise, sight distances should be calculated using MSHTO's
methods.
In determining sight distance, the Driver's Eye is assumed to be three and a half feet .
(3.5') above the roadway, and the height of object is assumed to be two feet (2') above
the roadway.
Sight distance triangles shall be provided for all projects where new driveways are being
installed except for single-family residences on local residential streets. Drawings
showing appropriate intersection sight distance triangles shall also be provided for all new
intersections being designed within the City.
The area within the sight distance triangle must be free from any sight obscuring objects
from between three feet (3') and eight feet (8') above the ground. Sight obscuring objects
include but are not limited to: buildings. parked vehicles, signs. fences, and landscaping.
The sight distance triangle should be located completely within the City right-of-way in
order to ensure proper maintenance. The City may require additional right-of-way as a
condition of development approval to ensure the sight distance triangle is contained
completely within the City right-of-way. If this Is not practical and the sight distance
triangle fails outside the right-of-way, a "Sight Distance Easement" should be acquired
from the property owners to allow the City to remove any objects that become a sight
hazard.
