John Keegan, 1501 Fourth Avenue, Seattle, WA Mr. Keegan spoke on behalf of Auburn Regional Medical Center. He urged the Council to support vacation of the alley. However, he requested the Council not assess the Auburn Regional Medical Center for one-half the appraised value. One-half the appraised value is approximately $11,000. He acknowledged that state law provides that the City can require compensation for the alley. He questioned the City's policy on compensation for vacated right-of-way, as it has not been imposed in the past. He noted that the City acquired the alley at not cost. Councilmember Wagner moved and Councilmember Lewis seconded to close the public hearing.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0. B. Audience Participation This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak to the City Council on any issue. Page 5 .City of Auburn Council Meetin_q Minutes May 1, 2000 Mayor Booth opened audience participation immediately following Item I.D of these minutes in light of the capacity audience this evening. City Engineer Dennis Dowdy was invited to speak regarding the City's proposed plans to install c-curbing on 15th Street NE between "D" Street and "A" Street NW. Mr. Dowdy explained that when the developer of the future Eagle (Lowe"s) Hardware Store located in the Market Place project looked to create more access for the store, the City looked for a way to create a safer corridor on 15"' Street NE. City Engineer reported that the initial proposal to alter the corridor was forwarded to the businesses along the corridor. Mr. Dowdy noted that several people are in the audience this evening to express concerns with the proposed c-curbing on 15"` Street NE. Mr. Dowdy stated that this week staff analyzed the future of the corridor and looked at possible alternatives to improve the safety of corridor. Mr. Dowdy introduced Mr. Tim Miller, the City's transportation consultant, and Joe Welsh, Transportation Planner, to comment on the draft proposal and possible alternative solutions. Joe Welsh, City of Auburn Transportation Planner Mr. Welsh reviewed the accident history for the 15"` Street NE corridor, between "D" Street NE and "A" Street NW, using overhead slides. Over the past three years, twenty-six accidents occurred exclusive of the intersections. The accidents involved fifty-four vehicles and resulted in eight injuries. In most cases, the accidents occurred when drivers turned across the traffic stream. Mr. Welsh stated that the majority of the across-traffic stream accidents, also called approach turn accidents, occurred when exiting the fast-food restaurants on the south side of 15"' Street. One of the ways to address this type of accident is to install signage for no left turns. A more effective alternative to prevent accidents is to install c-curbing to prohibit left turns across the traffic stream. Councilmember Brothers asked the number of accidents which have occurred either entering or exiting businesses on the north side of 15"` Street. Mr. Welsh reported no left turn accidents have occurred while accessing businesses on the north side of 15th Street. Mr. Welsh indicated the lack of accidents is due to less traffic accessing Sorello's Espresso and the "D" Street access for Freddie's Casino. Page 6 City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes May t, 2000 Tim Miller, 1607 East Main Street, Auburn Mr. Miller is a traffic consultant. He discussed Auburn Market Place development and the 15t" Street corridor utilizing overhead slides. The project calls for access to 15th Street via property located between the Grease Monkey and Dairy Queen businesses. The project also .provides driveway accesses in the back of the businesses located along 15th Street between D Street and A Street. The new access to 15th Street will be restricted as right turn only when leaving the development. The c-curbing on 15th Street NE will allow a yielding left turn from 15th Street to the new access street. In response to a question from Councilmember Lewis, Mr. Miller explained that the access to the back of the businesses on 15th Street does not extend as a through access from D Street NE to A Street, but is a circuitous access which requires traversing the aisles in the parking lot. In response to a question from Councilmember Poe, Mr. Miller advised there are no "no left turn" signs at the businesses on the south side of 15th Street. Chief Kelly confirmed that left turns in violation of City signs are a citable offense. Mr. Miller displayed an overhead slide which illustrated the left turn storage needed along 15th Street NE in the next five years. Approximately 140 feet of left turn storage will be needed on 15th Street at D Street NE and approximately 175 feet of left turn storage will be needed on 15th Street for traffic turning left at the new access street. Under current traffic conditions, 75 feet of storage is needed at D Street and 100 feet of storage is needed at the new access. Mr. Miller advised that the storage relates to 25 feet per car. Mr. Miller presented the next overhead slide which included the orientation of the c-curbing and the amount of storage available. Approximately 180 feet is available for traffic turning at D Street NE and approximately 175 feet of storage is available for traffic turning at the new access. Mr. Miller pointed out that simply omitting the curbing across from Sorello's ddveway would create a safety hazard. Page 7 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes May 1, 2000 Councilmember Brothers questioned the feasibility of installing "no left turn" signs instead of the c-curbing. Mr. Miller recalled a similar scenario for the McDonald's restaurant located north of 15*h Street on Auburn Way North. He explained that although a solid yellow stripe was installed there indicating no crossing, left turn accidents continued to occur. C-curbing was ultimately installed, and remains there today. Mr. Miller presented a slide illustrating a concept design of alternate channelization to accommodate access to Freddie's Casino and Sorello's Espresso. The only way to provide a left turn pocket to Freddie's and Sorello's is to take away traffic storage space from the traffic turning left on to the new access street. The tapers have been reduced and the storage space into Sorello's is fifty feet, or about two cars. Mr. Miller does not recommend the alternate channelization concept due to safety issues. Councilmember Barber questioned the reaction of the fast food restaurant owners regarding the proposed traffic channelization plan. Traffic Planner Joe Welsh responded that he was contacted by Arby's regarding their on-site conditions and access from the south. Councilmember Singer questioned the need for an additional access to the Market Place development when there is access at D and A Streets. Mr. Miller assumed the developer proposed the new access for market needs. In response to questions from Councilmember Wagner regarding the alternate channelization concept, Mr. Miller explained that 15th Street traffic will be required to slow to access the left turn storage areas which are at a more severe angle than those in the proposed channelization plan. Mr. Miller reported on the traffic counts at Freddie's and Sorello's conducted on April 25, 2000. The traffic counts were performed in two-hour blocks during the following periods: 7-9:00 AM, 11:30- 1:30 PM, and 4-6:00 PM. In the morning, there were 29 vehicles traveling east that turned left into Sorello's and nine cars left Sorello's turning left to continue eastbound. At the noon two hour period, fifty-one vehicles turned left into Sorello's and six vehicles turned left leaving the site. In the evening two-hour period, thirty- Page 8 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes May 1, 2000 four vehicles turned left into the site, and five turned left leaving the site. Councilmember Poe requested the developer's projections for north and southbound traffic on the access street. Mr. Miller did not have the 'data available at the meeting. Mr. Poe expressed support for Mr. Miller's alternate channelization concept and lengthening the taper on the west side to sixty feet.
