The RMH zoning area contains a number of narrow, deep lots,
each of which has a potential development of about 50 apartment
units. The total area could ultimately be developed with about
300 apartment units. Many future apartment residents would gain
access to 196th St. S. W. by means of long driveways lined with
cars parked in a perpendicular manner. If the present development
is a true indication of what would ultimately occur on these lots,
all of the residents would have only one driveway access to their
apartments, and for many residents this access would be quite long.
The City has a policy discouraging long driveways over 200-300 feet
serving single family residences, and the same policy should be
applied to apartment developments. The proposed alternative Route
"B", as shown on Exhibit B, is the best solution to improve the
quality of access to these apartments. This Route would cause the
least disturbance to existing apartment plans and surrounding single
family areas.
