Dear Ms. Thornquist:
JAre `l a �M4M

I am writing this letter to the City of Edmonds regarding the Trike Stop Daycare Center located at
23105 and 23107 100th Avenue W, Edmonds, WA 98020. The Main Building is currently in Plan Check
and the Permit is pending under Application BLD2015-0962.
Based on recent coordination with City staff and the General Contractor, my office has been tasked with
modifying the east or rear parking lot design - the main objective being to locate the handicapped
parking space at a location wherein appropriate grade elevations are met for handicapped access to the
building. The basic solution involves relocating the handicapped stall adjacent to the east side of the
Infant Building, and providing painted, striped path markings on the a.c. paving, which are new shown
on the Revised Site Plan, dated 7 January 2016 and identified by Revision Delta No. 3. Handicapped
signage in the area is identified as well.
The other revision shown on the Site Plan, Sheet SP, is 60 -degree angled parking with one-way traffic
aisle in a counter -clockwise direction. The General Contractor will be required to provide adequate,
painted arrows meeting City standards, on the a.c. paving surface to clearly indicate this one-way
traffic. The size of parking stalls and one-way drive aisle widths are shown on the Site Plan, Sheet SP,
and follow design guidelines from City of Edmonds, Chapter 18.95, Parking Lot Construction, and Figure
18-1 guidelines for stall sizing and one-way drive aisle width based on 60 degree parking layout.
The Architect's own field measurement from the face of the Infant Building to the toe of the rock
revetment on the east side of the Infant Building - the east parking lot - indicate there is adequate
space for the required dimensions to be provided based on the guidelines from Figure 18-1.
One consequence of the angled parking concept is that there is net loss of one (1) parking space, so the
final parking count provided on site is now thirty (30) including two (2) handicapped parking stalls. This
has been noted on the Cover Sheet, Sheet A-1, and identified by Revision Delta No. 3. It is my
evaluation that the 30 spaces provided should be adequate to comply for the calculated 30.1725 spaces

required by using total gross building area divided by the Westgate parking ratio of 1/400 s.f. This
minor revision to the parking calculation is noted on the resubmitted Sheet A-1, dated 7 January 2016.
I would respectfully request that if you have any questions or need for clarification that would help you
to expedite this approval, I would ask that you contact my office at your earliest convenience. Thank
you for your continuing assistance on this project - it is very much appreciated.
