EXHIBIT A <br /> METROPOLITAN PLANNING GROUP <br /> a new design on urban planning G R O U P <br /> MAY 10, 2011 <br /> Sailesh Mehra, Associate City Planner <br /> City of Redwood City <br /> 1017 Middlefield Road <br /> Redwood City, CA 94064 <br /> RE: Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for 333 N. Main Street Project <br /> Dear Sailesh, <br /> Metropolitan Planning Group would like to thank you for providing us the opportunity to <br /> submit a proposal to conduct the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the <br /> proposed 132 -unit residential project at 333 N. Main Street within the North Main Street <br /> Precise Plan area. <br /> M- Group's scope of work is to prepare the environmental documents for an Initial Study and <br /> Mitigated Negative Declaration, as mandated by State Law as part of the Environmental <br /> Review process. The Initial Study will identify the potential environmental impacts resulting <br /> from the proposal. The Mitigated Negative Declaration will identify, if necessary, the potential <br /> Mitigation Measures that will be required to reduce the potential impacts to a less than <br /> significant level. <br /> The development proposal appears to not encroach or impact the riparian area of the adjacent <br /> Redwood Creek. As a result we do not anticipate a requirement for a permit from the Army Corp, <br /> given the review to date of the entire scope of the project. If this changes based on additional <br /> information or change in project scope, the city will be notified accordingly. <br /> We will partner with Illingworth & Rodkin for the Noise study, and a technical report analyzing <br /> Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas issues. <br /> Metropolitan Planning Group (M- Group) has brought high - caliber planning services to many <br /> Bay Area communities. Our mission is to bring innovative and effective planning solutions to <br /> Bay Area cities. We are currently working with over 15 local cities and their communities on a <br /> wide variety of projects. M -Group staff has comprehensive knowledge and technical expertise <br /> in working in San Mateo County, environmental laws and regulations under CEQA and <br /> applicable federal, state and local regulatory requirements. <br /> Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss any changes <br /> to our scope of work, fee or approach to the project. <br /> 579 clyde avenue suite 340 mountain view calif 94043 650 938 1111 www.mplanninggroup.com <br />
