Response to Comments <br />CEMEX Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement <br />November 30, 2009 <br />29. Sabrina A. Layman <br />Ms. Layman questions capacity of local road network to handle the proposed addition of 700 <br />new residences. She is concerned about road safety and condition. She states, "I am not in favor <br />of the City of Everett granting a rezone to the CEMEX facility." <br />Response: Thank you for your comments. It is recommended you contact the City Traffic <br />Engineer, Dongho Chang, at 425-257-8810. <br />Concern that density is not supported by the roads in the area <br />The Level of Service analysis provided shows that no overall failures are projected to occur. <br />This demonstrates that the roadway network in the area is adequate for the traffic volume <br />generated by proposed zoning and density. <br />Concern about roadway maintenance <br />The City has an aggressive overlay program and if roadways in the vicinity begin to deteriorate <br />they will rise to the top of this program, which is funded by the general fund. The tax base from <br />development such as what should occur over time at the CEMEX site contribute to the City's tax <br />base, and as such the funds available for roadway maintenance. <br />30. Lauren E. Wendt <br />Mr. Wendt does not favor the proposal due to his concern that, ".. traffic impact will be too <br />great!" He feels, ".. the LARGEST mistake will be roundabout(s) anywhere in this area." <br />Response: Thank you for your comments. Please refer to Chapter 1, comment 43. <br />31. Barbara Keller <br />Would the streets be private or public? It is important that the streets be public so they will be <br />wide enough for fire and emergency vehicles. How many units would be owner occupied? How <br />many parking spaces would be provided? Having Madison at HWY 99 (Evergreen) at Level of <br />Service E is not acceptable. Who will pay, taxpayers or CEMEX for improvements? <br />Response: At this time the City of Everett belief is the street system would be public Right of <br />Way ownership. Parking requirements are established through the City Zoning Code. Traffic <br />impacts are evaluated by the City Traffic Engineer and mitigation fees are then assessed as <br />deemed appropriate. A separate SEPA environmental review would be conducted at the time <br />permits are sought, while the current environmental review (this action) is focused on <br />overarching land use policy and design standards. Project specific reviews operate at the level of <br />detail better suited to your questions. The City does not regulate ownership or rental of housing <br />units. There is a higher potential of ownership in single family development that in multiple <br />family development. <br />Chapter 2 — Traffic Comments <br />15 <br />
