March 25,2014 10-SJ-5-14.118 PA-1300190 Ms. Meagan Aguirre I San Joaquin County Community Development Department Development Services Division 1810 E. Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Dear Ms. Aguirre: The California Department of Transportation(Department) appreciates the opportunity to review the Site Approval application to expand an existing gas station and convenience market to include demolition of an existing 720 square foot convenience store, construction of a 2,600 square foot convenience store and relocation of an existing 186 square foot storage building. The existing 2,494 square foot canopy will remain in use. The project is located on the northwest corner of Mossdale Road and the I-5 northbound on-ramp in Lathrop. i Upon review of the project, the Department has the following comments: • The cumulative impacts of the proposed project will contribute to the degradation of the level of service on the State Highway system at the Interstate 5/Mossdale Road interchange. This degradation will eventually require improvements to accommodate the increase in traffic volumes to I-5. Therefore,the Department recommends that the Lead Agency collect a transportation impact mitigation fee on a"proportional share" basis from the applicant to hold until the fee can be contributed towards the local portion of funding for future improvements to the State Highway facility. • The applicant must proceed with an Encroachment Permit application prior to any commencement of work within the State's right-of-way (ROW)and upon any access (driveway)point onto the State Highway System (SHS). All work performed within/adjacent to the State's ROW will be subject to Caltrans Highway Design Manual (HDM) and Standards and Specifications. "Caltrans improves mobility across California"
