OPTION 1: Under this option the entire Finger Park Tract would be subject to intensive level inventory and evaluation. The anticipated Option 1 Study Area for historic architectural resources is assumed to include up to 30 historic resources located within the Finger Park Tract, as shown in San Mateo County Map Book 4, page 55 (1906), The resources that are 50 years old or older would be inventoried and evaluated on DPR523 forms. OPTION 2: The anticipated Option 2 Study Area for historic architectural resources would include the proposed project area, plus all adjoining legal parcels, and seven legal parcels located across Finger Avenue in Wellesley Park. The resources in this study area that are 50 years old or older — and that have not been previously evaluated — would be subject to intensive level survey and would be inventoried and evaluated on DPR523 forms. Approximately 5 resources would require DPR523 forms. The remainder of the Finger Park Tract, and parcels across the street in the Wellesley Park subdivision, would be subject to reconnaissance level survey and general characterization, but no DPR523 forms would be prepared. This option would include identification of a potential district, but may recommend the need for intensive level survey of the remainder of the Finger Park Tract. The level of etfort necessary to complete this evaluation will depend upon the City's input, and is preliminarily estimated for less- intensive Option 2 to be $33,000, subject to City direction. We propose to work with City staff and the historic subconsultant to determine the appropriate scope of historic work necessary, and finalize the historic work scope, once the level of effort is confirmed acceptable to the City. If the Finger Ave Tract is determined to be eligible as a historic district, under either the Cal Register and/or City criteria, an assessment would be needed to determine: i) Whether the site's existing buildings are contributing structures and would their demolition substantially affect the integrity /eligibility of the potential historic district; ii) Whether the introduction of the new subdivision homes in the Finger Ave Tract context would compromise the potential historic district's integrity.' Mitigation measures will be identified for significant cultural resource impacts, as appropriate. Cordilleras Creek impacts The EIR will evaluate the potential for the project to result in impacts to Cordilleras Creek in the following areas: Biological Resources The 2006/2007 biology studies will be peer reviewed by WRA Environmental Consultants. As part of this peer review, a WRA biologist will conduct an updated literature review including a CDFG California Natural Diversity Database record search. A brief site visit will also be made to view current site conditions. A letter report will be prepared outlining any recommended revisions or shortcomings in the 2006 report. The estimated cost for the preparation of a Peer Review letter report is S3,245. In the event that WRA, DJP &A, and the City agree that a completely new Biological Resources Assessment is warranted, the estimated cost is $6,000. Based upon this existing information and any additional input from IVRA Environmental Consultants , the EIR will: This assessment would be completed as an additional task and is not part of the proposed EIR scope. 3
