Nov, 1 , 2005 2:24PM CA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION No -4428 P . 3/4 Ms. Allen November 1, 2005 Page 2 • An Encroachment Permit will be required for work(if any) done within the Department's right of way. This work is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. Therefore, additional biological, archaeological, or other environmental studies may be required as part of the encroachment permits application. A qualified professional must conduct any such studies undertaken to satisfy the Department's environmental review responsibilities. Ground disturbing activities to the site prior to completion and/or approval of required environmental documents may affect the Department's ability to issue a permit for the project. Furthermore, if engineering plans or drawings will be part of your permit application, they should be prepared in standard units. • All roadway features (for example signs, pavement delineation, roadway surface et cetera)within Department right of way must be protected or maintained in a temporary condition and restored. • A traffic impact study (TIS)will be necessary to determine the proposed project's near-term and long-term impacts to State facilities —both existing and proposed— and to propose appropriate mitigation measures. The study should be prepared in accordance with the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies, dated December 2002 (Guide). The Guide is available online at the following web address: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tpp/planning_tools/tools.htm. Minimum contents of the TIS are listed in Appendix "A" of the TIS guide. All State owned signalized intersections affected by this project should be analyzed using the intersecting lane vehicle (IL') procedure from the Department's Highway Design Manual, Topic 406, page 400-21. • The Department requires level of service (LOS) "C" or better at State owned facilities, including intersections (see Appendix "C-3" of the TIS guide). If an intersection is currently below LOS "C," any increase in delay from project-generated traffic must be analyzed and mitigated. The TAS for operating State highway facilities is based upon measures of effectiveness (MOE) (see Appendix "C-2" of the Guide). If an existing State highway facility is operating at less than this target LOS, the existing MOE should be maintained. "(:alnRne improvre mObi/iN aCrnsJ Cafifa+ia"
