<br />Exhibit C <br /> <br /> <br />LANCASTER <br /> <br />engineering <br /> <br />October 6, 2006 <br /> <br />James W. Spickerman <br />Gleaves Swearingen Potter & Scott <br />PO Box 1147 <br />Eugene, OR 97440 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Spickerman: <br /> <br />As you requested, I have estimated the trip generation that could be produced by <br />development of the Eugene Motor Pool site on High Street in Eugene. <br /> <br />I understand that the site is about 1.7 acres in size, and that a change in the Metro <br />Plan designation for this property is proposed. The current Plan designation is High Den- <br />sity Residential/Mixed Use/Nodal Development (HDR/MU/ND), and the proposed Plan <br />designation is Commercial/Nodal. Development (Commercial/ND). The trip generation <br />estimates are based on a reasonable level of devel<:>pment of the site under both Plan des- <br />ignations. The assumptions for a reasonable level of development were based on the <br />highest density of development that is likely to occur at the site, using recent development <br />in the area as a. guide. <br /> <br />As we discussed, although on-site parking may not be required, it would probably <br />. be necessary in order to support any residential or office development, and may also be <br />necessary to support retail development. For this reason, the trip generation calculations <br />assumed that about half of the site would be used for a building footprint and about half <br />would be used for surface parking. <br /> <br />For the existing Plan designation, it was assumed that a 37,000 sq ft building foot- <br />print with retail uses on the ground floor and residential condominiums on the second and <br />third floors could be developed. The ground floor was assumed to house specialty retail <br />stores, and it was assumed that each of the two upper floors would have about 18 condo- <br />miniums. <br /> <br />To estimate the trip generation for development of the site under the existing Plan <br />designation, trip rates from the TRIP GENERATION handbook, 7th Edition, published by <br />the Institute of Transportation Engineers, were used. Trips from the retail development <br />on the ground floor were based on rates for ITE land-use code 814, Specialty Retail Cen- <br /> <br />321 SW 4th Avenue, Suite 400. Portland, OR 97204.
