-3_ Response to Appeal-Statement No. 1 The concerns of Caltrans and the City were addressed in the traffic study. Caltrans was referred the application and reviewed the traffic impact study.

They did not oppose the project, and they did not require the applicant to mitigate for a future interchange project because Caltrans does not have a project for this intersection at this time.

Response to Appeal Statement No.2 It is not the applicant's responsibility to consider a road realignment project if that road project is not part of the City's General Plan or a Caltrans project. CEQA requires the project to mitigate significant impacts to a level deemed less than significant and the conditions of approval reflect mitigation measures that accomplish that goal. The Department of Public Works' conditions of approval require the applicant to pay a fair share contribution towards several mitigation measures at intersections along Roth Road totaling $1.15 million dollars, including lane and traffic signal timing modifications (Cumulative 2025 plus project scenario). Appeal Statement No. 3 In his appeal statement,Mr. Dhoot states, "Approval of stop signs [was granted] without fund for signahzation at all four intersections." I
