Response to In -Situ Questions
John:
I receive your voicemail yesterday and have answers for you on most of the questions raised about In Situ.
Note that we have already scheduled a meeting with Linda Ripley to review the process for next
Wednseday with representatives from Current Planning, Natural Resources, Engineering and
Transportation.
1. What needs to be completed as far as a Transportation Impact Study (TIS)?
Eric Bracke conducted a scoping meeting with In-Situ's traffic consultant some months ago. He specified
that they complete an analysis somewhere in-between a simple "Traffic Memorandum" and an
"Intermediate -level TIS". We understand that this is relatively quick and inexpensive (the market rate for
such a study is approximately $2,000) analysis that requires substantially less detail than a full-blown TIS.
2. When are fees due? How is street oversizing calculated?
All development fees are collected at the time of building permit issuance. Details on specific fees, and
the method for calculating them, can be found on the City's website through a search of "permit fees".
All building permits pay a SO fee based on the trip generation of the new building. The Street Oversizing
fees are intended to pay for widening ("oversizing") arterial and collector streets citywide, not just those
directly adjacent to the developing property. These fees are then used to widen streets throughout the
City. For specific questions relating to SO on In -Situ, I would recommend that they speak with Matt Baker
directly. Matt can be reached at 221-6605.
3. Do they need a variance for the proposed parking?
No, the Land Use Code has a provision for what is referred to as "Alternative Compliance". Based on the
information provided to -date, and assuming some flexibility on their part to make some minor changes,
we're supporting the proposed parking arrangement.
4. Will two vehicle access be allowed along Lincoln Avenue?
We understand that an engineering variance for the horizontal separation requirements between access
points will be required, but we haven't had any City staff dialogue on that issue. This will be a topic of
discussion at next week's meeting. Hopefully we can come to some resolution at the meeting on whether
we can support the engineering variance.
5. What is the status of the Ecological Characterization Study?
A preliminary study was developed by Cedar Creek Associates as part of In-Situ's modification request.
We were impressed by the preliminary work, but they will need to provide a little more in the way of detail
in conjunction with the PDP submittal.
6. Who is the Planner assigned to the Project?
Ted Shepard was the planner assigned to the modification and will continue to do so with the PDP
application. He will be the primary City contact for this project. Just so you're aware of it, Ted has been
working closely with the Natural Resources Advisory Board and the Natural Resources staff to look at
ways to resolve issues that have come up with the application of our buffer standards. Ted and Natural
Resource staff have made great progress to date and anticipate that some of the needed changes will be
