This information supplements the Traffic Impact <br /> Analysis (TIA) for the project (dated December 30, 2008) that was prepared by <br /> Transportation Solutions, Inc. (TSI). The draft SEPA determination contains hvo statements <br /> in the "Information for Developer" seclion that require a response from the proponent. <br /> These statements followed by the proponent s response are: <br /> 4. Trip genera[ion analysis submitted is inadequate 6u[ Traffic concurs with <br /> conclusion that no troJjic mitigation Jee is due, but has determined that submitted <br /> traJfic study does not adequately support statement that there will be no net <br /> increase in vehide trips. Contact troJJic engineer for further trip generation <br /> comments. <br /> "I'he'1'IA states lhe following: <br /> "7'he Jitness renter will be used by Jacully, stoJf, and students that ore already <br /> on-cnmpus. It is a replacement facilify that is an amenify to the compus in the <br /> same context as the campus li6rary, caJeterio, and other support facilities. (TE <br /> PM peak hour trip generation rates Jor a commwiity college land use are based <br /> on the nwnber oJ students (0.12 trips per student) or the size of campus <br /> buildings (2.54 trips per 1,000 SF). f3ecause the/ihieu center is not associated <br /> with nn incmase in the campus population there would be not increase in trips <br /> yencrated by the ECC based on the student trip rate." <br /> While ihe City did not concur with the methodology, they did concur that no net increase in <br /> traffic would result hom the proposed expansion. Discussions with Michael Brick,Associate <br /> [ngineer for the City of Everett resulted in a different hip generation methodology that <br /> supporls ihis condusion. <br /> In order to determine lhe maximum Irip generation potential for the proposed fiMess center <br /> a review was made of dasses in the existing fiMess center that start or end during the P�' <br /> peak period �o establish a weekly average of classes starting or ending in the PM peak <br /> Y3 <br />
