~])~<1 3. Require the developer to pay the entire cost but allow development to proceed before the mitigation is complete 4. Require an Agreement payment from developers and limit their liability for future payments, since the agreed payment may not reflect the actual mitigation costs. 5. Require nothing of the developer. Council directed staff to have the developer pay the entire cost of the one-lane Blomquist roadway extension and to allow development to proceed before the mitigation was complete. Fehr and Peers, our Traffic Consultant, estimated the cost of the one-lane road at $3.7 million. It was determined that the $3.7 million would be shared proportionately by K&B (6%), lAC (27%), a future Uccelli site developer (38%), AmeriSuites Hotel (21 %) and a future office space developer (8%). The percentage or 'fair share' traffic mitigation fees were based on anticipated auto trips generated by each development. B. New Issues: SBSA Force Main After the Fehr and Peers Traffic Study was completed, staff discovered that the Study did not take into account the roadway's proximity to a SBSA force main (sewer pipeline). The pipeline runs through certain portions of the proposed Blomquist roadway extension's alignment. Jim Bewley ofSBSA informed staff that the proposed Blomquist roadway can not be built over the existing force main. We also discovered that building near the sewer main could add to project design and construction costs. In addition, in order to stay clear of the pipeline, the Redwood Creek bridge may need to be realigned and lengthened. This realignment could also impact one or two houseboats at Docktown Marina. Roadway/bridge realignment costs are still yet to be determined. An engineering study will be necessary to determine whether it is less costly to realign the road/bridge or to realign the sewer main. These unknown roadway realignment costs will be shared proportionately among Bair Island Road area developers, based on the percentages previously established for each development (K&B (6%), lAC (27%), a future Uccelli site developer (38%), AmeriSuites Hotel (21%) and a future office space developer (8%)). The engineering study could reveal that the Blomquist roadway/bridge realignment costs are more than the Bair Island Road developer(s) can bear. If this occurs, the City will need to find matching funds from local, state and/or federal public transportation agencies to complete the roadway extension. Corp of Engineers Permit Amendment: In June, the Corps informed staff that they will extend our permit (to allow construction of a bridge over Redwood Creek) to April 15, 2000.1 However, the unanticipated roadway realign- ment will require a Corps Permit Amendment. Staff is uncertain whether the Corps will grant this amendment. I According to the City Engineering Division, this mitigation will be completed on or before April 15, 2000. "'----"--""T""
