Hello Cheri,
Based on the extracted pages from the Travertine SP TIA, it’s anticipated the project would have a direct impact to
Intersections #9 and #16. Additionally, the project would have indirect/cumulative impacts to Intersection #11, #12, #13,
#14, #17, #18, #19. The County requests that the City condition the project to mitigate its direct impacts by constructing
the recommended improvements. The County would support mitigating cumulative/indirect impacts through the payment
of various impact mitigation fees established by adopted funding programs to the extent that the programs provide
funding for the improvement of facilities impacted by the project. Where funding is unknown or a shortfall exists, the
County requests that the City condition the project to pay its fair share toward mitigating the cumulative/indirect impacts.
Thanks
