SIGNAL
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has been retained to provide a modified traffic analysis for the proposed
Avid Landscape Office development as the development generates fewer than 25 PM peak -hour trips. The
site is located at 7328 2101h Street SW in Edmonds. The site location is shown in Figure 1.
The Avid Landscape Office development is proposed to consist of 25 employees (19 field employees and
6 office employees) in the existing 768 square feet (SF) single-family residence and the 471 SF garage.
The development will use the existing driveways. Matthew Palmer, responsible for this memorandum, is a
licensed professional engineer (Civil) in the State of Washington and member of the Washington State
section of ITE.
Trip Generation
The trip generation calculations for the Avid Landscape Office development are based on data published
by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in the Trip Generation Manual, II t' Edition + Supplemeni
(2021). The average trip generation rates for ITE Land Use Code (LUC) 180, Specialty Trade Contractor,
and LUC 210, Single -Family Residential are utilized for the trip generation calculations. The trip generation
calculations for the Specialty Trade Contractor are determined using the number of employees as using
the total square footage of 1,239 SF does not result in a realistic trip generation for the site. The trip
generation is summarized in Table 1.
