EXHIBIT A ® © DAYffl J. POWERS © & ASSOCIATES INC FOCUSED EIR FINGER AVE SUBDIVISION REDWOOD CITY, CA PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES Revised November 9, 2010 Overview In a Settlement Agreement between the City of Redwood City, the developer, and the Friends of Cordilleras Creek and Finger Avenue Pride Committee, the City has agreed that an Environmental Impact Report is necessary to identify, evaluate and mitigate potential environmental impacts that could be associated with the proposed Finger Avenue housing project. The project site is located at 50, 80, and 88 Finger Avenue adjacent to Cordilleras Creek and is currently developed with three single- family homes and three small cottages and contains 13 mature trees. The project would involve the removal of all existing structures, 12 existing mature trees and re- subdivision of the three existing parcels into nine parcels (from 6,000 to 8,129 square feet in size) to construct nine, two -story, single- family homes and to install 54 new trees. The homes would range in size from 2,825 to 3,640 square feet with attached two car garages ranging in size from 441 to 558 square feet. Four of the nine proposed homes encroach within nine to 15 feet of top of bank of Cordilleras Creek where a 25 -foot setback to a protected watercourse is normally required per the City's Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the applicant requests exceptions to the Subdivision Ordinance to allow seven parcels to front on a non - conforming, horseshoe shaped, private one -way street rather than directly on a public street. The applicant proposes that the private roadway be 22 -feet wide, where a minimum 25 -feet wide street is normally required. The private roadway would also have a pedestrian walkway on one side incorporated into the roadway's 22 -foot width. 1. PREPARATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT David J.
