Wagstaff and Associates Contract Exhibit "A" City of Redwood City Bair Island Road Development EIR October 25, 2001 Page 11--6 The project may also result in significant internal visual impacts, including impacts on views from existing Bair island Road area residential uses and on shoreline user views. r Terry Bottomley, AICP, consulting urban designer, will be retained to apply their strengths in visual impact analysis and urban design to assist Wagstaff and Associates and the City in r addressing these factors. Terry Bottomley, AICP, is an urban designer with over 20 years of r experience and currently under contract to the City to formulate design concepts for the Bair r Island Road area. Mr. Bottomley will apply his extensive experience in the fields of design r review, community planning, and urban design in considering the Marina Shores Village r Project design. The visual evaluation will be assisted and augmented by photomontage visual simulations prepared by Environmental Vision of the project's appearance from up to four (4) vantage points. r 1. Settinq. The EIR urban designer will describe the existing visual character of the site and surrounding area with narrative, graphics, and photographs. The visual significance of the site, including the extent of its visibility from surrounding vantage points, will be described, with particular emphasis on views from the adjacent US 101 freeway.

Computer-Assisted Photo-Montage Simulations. The visual analysis work scope will include preparation by Environmental Vision of "before and after" photomontage simulations of the project, from up to four (4) selected vantage points, including the following: · northbound and/or southbound on US 101; · eastbound on Bair Island Road; and · one or more hill neighborhood vantage points to the west.
