man DAVID J, POWERS EXHIBIT "A" August 26, 2003 CiTY ~"~ vD CITY Mr. Peter Vorametsanti City of Redwood City P.O. Box 391 Redwood City, California 94064 Re: Fair Oaks Sports Field Lighting Dear Mr. Vorametsanti: David J. Powers and Associates (DJP&A) is pleased to present to you this proposal for the preparation of an Initial Study/Draft Negative Declaration (IS/ND) for the proposed Fair Oaks Soccer Field Lighting project. The IS/ND will satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the regulations of the City of Redwood City. This scope of work assumes that the project will include all mitigation measures necessary to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. By doing this the project will be eligible for a Negative Declaration. In the event the project will result in impacts that cannot be mitigated, or the project does not include the necessary mitigation, then an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be required. DJP&A could prepare the EIR under a separate scope and budget. The project proposes night lighting at an existing soccer field. The soccer field is located on the southwest quadrant of the Fair Oaks/Hampshire Avenue intersection, in an unincorporated area of San Mateo County just south of Redwood City. Under existing conditions, the field is used during the daylight hours all year long. The lighting of the soccer field will extend the hours of play on the field to 10:00 PM throughout the year. The lights will be turned offby 10:30 PM. SCOPE OF WORK The IS/ND will include a project description, a discussion of the project's consistency with the City of Redwood City General Plan, a description of the existing environmental setting, and an environmental checklist, based on the form included in the State CEQA Guidelines. Each impact identified in the environmental checklist will be addressed, including a discussion of its potential significance and proposed mitigation measures to reduce the impact, if necessary. It is anticipated that the primary issues to be discussed will include land use, aesthetics, lighting, noise, and traffic and parking. The scope of work proposed for the primary issues is described on the following page.
