Mr. Robert Silverstein, Esq. 0 • <br />Review Of The Recirculated DEIR And FOR For The San Lorenzo Sewer Lift Station Project <br />January 12, 2012 <br />Page 10 of 18 <br />5.4.7 ALTERNATIVE SITE No. 5 <br />Alternative Site No. 5 is located in the parking lot of the commercial complex at <br />3001 -3005 South Bristol Street. This is directly across Segerstrom Avenue from <br />the site of the proposed project. <br />The RDEIR concludes on Page 5 -39 (last paragraph of this alternative) that Site <br />No. 6 is equal to the proposed project, except that there would be a deficiency of <br />six parking spaces during construction and that emergency access to the site <br />would be inadequate. <br />A deficiency of six parking spaces out of the 140 that are required for the site <br />only during the period of construction represents a deficiency of only four percent <br />and seems trivial. Adequate parking spaces would be available after the project <br />is completed. <br />The last paragraph asserts that the inadequate emergency access would be <br />detrimental to existing businesses but does not explain why this would be so or <br />quantify the impact. Moreover, at the top of Page 5 -38 the RDEIR states that the <br />number of lost parking spaces would maintain access from West Segerstrom <br />Avenue and would ensure access to the north -south alley. This means that <br />access for emergency vehicles would in fact be available. <br />The RDEIR fails to note that the use of Site No. 3 would obviate the need for the <br />temporary sewer bypass and relocation of the SCE pole in Phase 2. As <br />discussed above, this would shorten Phase 2 by at least four weeks. <br />5.4.8 ALTERNATIVE SITE No. 6 <br />Alternative Site No. 6 is in the southern part of the parking lot at 2840 South <br />Bristol Street, which is the Burlington Coat Factory. <br />The RDEIR concedes that this alternative would require 46 percent less <br />underground sewer conveyance infrastructure than the proposed project, that the <br />overall duration of construction activities would be decreased, and that there <br />would be a slight reduction in long -term odor - related impacts. <br />The RDEIR does not quantify the reduction in the duration of construction <br />activities and fails to note that the use of Site No. 3 would obviate the need for <br />the temporary sewer bypass and relocation of the SCE pole in Phase 2. As <br />discussed above, this would shorten Phase 2 by at least four weeks. <br />55A -159 <br />
