The Growth Management Act at Section 36.70.070 (6)(b) RCW states that a
Review of transportation impacts by Shea Carr Jewell shows significant impacts
to Yelm Avenue at the driveway locations to the site. These impacts include:
/ High potential for vehicles overlapping their turning paths as patrons try to
enter and exit the bank.
/ Trips leaving the site in a left turn movement enter into the left-turn
deceleration lane for the eastbound left turn at the signal at Clark Road. This
left-turn maneuver has the potential to increase vehicle conflicts, accidents
and impacts to already heavy traffic on Yelm Avenue.
/ The site frontage is narrow and not conducive to full access maneuvers,
especially given the close proximity to the signal.
