BA-19 document; i.e., Kaiser providing shuttle services was taken out, and she asked if SamTrans felt in competition with the shuttle. Mr. Kay said rather than specify all the mitigation measures within the EIR document they gave Kaiser the )pportunity to work with C /CAG on implementing whatever transportation demand measures would be appropriate. Commissioner Piulle said there is no guideline to follow as to what will be done and asked Ms. Riordan if she knew. Ms. Riordan said that the Transit Mitigation Measures have been incorporated in the Precise Plan. She said it is a shortened summary from the original detailed version in the Mitigation Measure. Mr. Kay referred to page 413 in the Response to Comments showing the Amended Transportation Demand Management Measures Table Kaiser is proposing, which shows a lot of the measures that were included in the original Mitigation Measure. Chair Foust referred to the list of Transportation Demand Measures on page 46 of the Precise Plan. Commissioner McCoy wanted to be clear regarding the Traffic Impact Tables that were added in response to his comments at the last Public Hearing. He referred to pages 364 and 365 of the Draft EIR, and wanted to know if the column, "Average Critical Movement Delay (ACMD)" is the most impacted turning motion that stands today; and then comparing it to the ACMD with the project, wanted to capture the worst movement delay. Mr. Jason Pak, Fehr & Peers Associates said the added tables were at the request of Traffic Engineer Richard Haygood, to acquire more information to operations at the intersection. The ACMD represents a combination of the four critical movements (one per approach), and the average delay associated with those four movements. Commissioner McCoy asked if the set of values listed included all the mitigation measures that were suggested. Mr. Pak said no. Commissioner Seybert referred to the Addendum stating that the revised Water Demand Projections are lower than those described in the EIR. He said they go from 818,000 gals per day (gpd) down to 209,000 gpd, a reduction of 1 /4 of the original projection. Commissioner Seybert wanted to know why the number was so off the first time. He wanted assurance that the numbers were correct. Supervising Civil Engineer Chu Chang said the existing City standard is based on the Sewer Demand Estimation, with a 1.4 safety factor applied for Water Demand Projection (WDP). He said this methodology appears inaccurate and overly conservative, so the City hired Kennedy /Jenks Consultants to perform a case study for Hospital WDP. The study was based on five Kaiser existing facilities and three non - Kaiser Hospitals. The result is much closer to the actual water use from hospitals, although still considered too high by Kaiser Hospital staff, but it is an acceptable set of numbers from both City staff and Kaiser Hospital staff. Chair Foust asked Mr. Chang to send his comments (in writing) to the PC Page 3 of 17
