PROPOSED APPROACHES FOR
RESPONSES TO CERTAIN COMMENTS ON THE
DEIR FOR WESTERN CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY
The following proposed approaches address certain key comments on the Western
California University Draft EIR. This list addresses only the comments
requiring further Town and applicant input. The response approaches below all
require modifications to Earth Metrics contract scope and budget. Other
comments received will be responded to by Earth Metrics in the Final EIR as
part of the current scope.
1, Tntereection Analv•i• at College AOenUe /R_ Main Street. Traffic counting,
signal warrant study and original level of service analysis would be
needed to provide the requested street capacity analysis of the College
Avenue route with and without the Alma Bridge Road route.
2. aineer ne and reotenhninnl Analysis of thA Alma Rridae Road Route. More
detailed evaluation would be practical only if additional engineering for
the access route is performed (see Data Need No. 4). Earth Metrics and
Howard Donley Associates would review engineering plans and back up data
to assess stability and erosion potential. (No soil borings or testing is
proposed unless specifically requested by the Tarn.)
3. "llonifle Tree Loan Ana)y •. Precise inventory of tree loss is practical
only if additional engineering is performed (see Data Need No. 4). Earth
Metrics would conduct a field inventory jointly with the applicant's
engineer to precisely locate and sap expected tree 1033. The inventory
would list trees by species and size class.
4. Colley Avenue Alternative Access Route Coordination. If conceptual
engineering of the College Avenue route is provided (see Data Need No. 2),
additional impact analysis would be provided related to geology,
hydrology, biology, aesthetics, archeology, land use and traffic impacts.
A geological investigation of the alternative access routes was proposed,
but not authorized, an part of the original Earth Metrics proposal. The
additional work would include the originally proposed geological
investigation, archeological surface reconnaissance, habitat inventory,
and impact discussion of a similar level of detail as the DEIR discussion
of the proposed Alma Bridge Road route. Because the Foster Road and other
considered routes are not deemed to be acceptable by the Town, detailed
fieldwork is not proposed for these routes (see Data Need No. T below).
S. Traffic $valuation of State Ro ue 17/ lama Rridae Road with a Solid Median
Divider, Additional traffic evaluation is needed to address the
Commission's Question of effect of a solid median divider on State Route
1T.
6, Ruildtno D muelt ion Alternative. Additional analysis would be required to
assess the potential environmental effects of building demolition and
return of the land to open space, as requested by the Commission. (This
discussion would not include asaeasment of financial implications to the
property owners, an issue which is outside the scope of an EIR.)
q, Other Aceess Routes. A more detailed, though still qualitative,
evaluation of the Limekiln Canyon Road, Foster Road and other access
routes has been requested. This would require a minor adjustment of the
contract scope and budget.
g, Quantification of wiidi L e-Tm ants. Additional detail is needed in field
review of wildlife habitat values and precise extent of habitat based on
refined access route engineering.
9, gunk Noise and ¢DAi i Event Noise Analysis. Additional acoustical
analysis is required to assess the truck and special event noise effects
requested by the Commission.
