Mr. Wayne IvL 1Ventz June 16, 1997 Page 2 [t is unrealistic to assume that with a second shift, the site would gencrate only 35 inbound PM peak trips. The prospective tenant suggests that the employee population of the second shift is approximately 53 percent of the total first population. In order to account for the second shift, we have a�sumed that employee tratFc arriving at the site for second shiR operates in a similar pattem to that arriving for the first shift, and have used the AM trip generation values. reduced to represent 53%of the first shift value. This results in a total PM peak trip generation of 253 peak trips. The site is an industrial park. and were this site being built on speculation, the trip generation r:uc for square Footage and application to a single shift would be appropriate and acceptable to [hc rit�. \; you are aware, the propused site plan includes about 626 parking stalls, �vhich, in pan. rclates W thc two shift parking overlap nature of tha particular tenant. �Ve believe that Quadrant should bc assessed their trip generation mitigation fce based on the general use of the site, but ��ith rcco�niiiun of the second shift nature of the this initial tenant. This tenant may not be the occupant tice or 5i� years in the future. In addition, the meihodology used to calculate the trip thresholds and capacities of the study area used genemlized trip generation levels based on broad estimates of land use. The nssessment ofu trip mitigation fee based on building square footage and a second shift is compatible with the methods used to develop the recommendations for the SW Everett Plan. The Ciry's mitigation fee for Southwest Everett is $1006 per PM trip. When applied to this site, this results in a caiculated fee of 5254,518. As a realiry check, this translates to about �1.30 per square foot of development. Other sites in the vicinity ha��e calculated traffic mitigation fees ranging ftom $0.75 to $1.50, so this is not an unreasonable fee. The site is calculated to cover 825,038 net square feet, or 18.94 acres. The peak period trip generation rate as culculated above, translates to 13.35 trips per acre. This is below the Ciq�'s threshold of 30 trips per net acre, so no further analysis is necessary. An additional mport is beine prepared by another consultant which covers an operational assessment of the drivewa�s. siehi distances, and queues.
