1.In those cases where a developer would be
required pursuant to any applicable City Code or policy
to provide a traffic study as a condition of
development,the City Engineer or his designee may
evaluate whether any traffic study previously completed
at public expense adequately addresses the traffic
issues that would be expected to be covered in a
private,site-specific study.In such cases,the City
Engineer may waive a developer's site-specific traffic
engineering study and instead authorize the payment of a
fee to be paid in lieu of such study as reimbursement of
a portion of the City's costs of an engineering study.

2.The fee to be reimbursed to the City shall be
administratively determined in the sole discretion of
the City Engineer and shall be based upon the following:
a.The total cost of the City's study;
b.The scope and area of the City's study as
compared to the area that would have been required
to be studied by the private developer;
c.The degree to which the City's study is
expected to be used in lieu of other site-specific
private developer studies in the future;
d.Such other and further factors as the
City Engineer deems relevant.

Engineer.The decision of the City Engineers shall be
issued in writing.

the developer may appeal the administrative
determination to the City's Hearing Examiner pursuant to
MMC Chapter 2.70.Said appeal shall be filed in writing
with the City Engineer not later than fourteen (14)
calendar days from the issuance of the administrative
determination.Failure to file an appeal within said
time period shall be deemed as acceptance of the
administrative determination.He shall conduct his own
study at his own expense.
4.If it is determined by the City Engineer or
other appropriate authority that the City study needs to
be updated with respect to a particular property or use,
the developer shall do so at its own expense.
