De te: \~-- ~- - ~ ~ St gna ture: Mlke ul lvler Title: Senior Civil Engineer Resolutim No. 93-238 Page6 PART I - ATTACHMENT Reference: Items 8, 9, 13, 25, 27, 33 and 34 The proposed project consist of adding 2 catch basins, A.C. Ove~ay, Cold Planing and ~estrtptng. The objective is to raise the existing street crown up to 0.45 feet, in the worst case, to acquire a straight grade of +/- 2% on both sides of the street and to add one additional catch basin on each side of the street. These improvements will enhance the drainage system for the area. The pavement to be ore, aid is approximately 26,500 square feet and is scheduled for easy 1994 construction. The project is located in a residential area and has a street width of 44 feet and a right-of-way width of 66 feet. The east side parkway has a 12-foot curb adjacent sidewalk and a 6-foot block wall at the property llne. The west side parkway has a community trail rail fencing behind the curb and a 6-foot block wall at the property line. The proposed improvements will not have substantial impact on plants, animals, land resources or any obvious historical, cultural or scenic aspects. Noise, vibration, dust and odors will increase at the project site during construction process. However, after completion of the project, all noise, vibration, dust and odors created by this project will cease to exist and return to its normal occurrences.

Re~olutic~No. 93-238 Page 13 Page 7 DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (Narretlve description of environmental impacts.) See Attached Sheet DETEI~IMATION {mo De completed by the Lead Agency.) On the basts of this 1ntttal evaluation: I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENT IMPACT REPORT is required. Date Iqlke U; lvler Senior Civil Engineer Iltle ATTACHMENT - PART II DISCUSSION OF EVNIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Resolution No. 93-238 Page 14 6. Noise 13. Existing noise level will increase due to equipment operation during construction period only. The presence of the residential houses close to the project site will not greatly be affected due to the presence of a 6-foot block wall. In any rate these noise can be mitigated by installation of noise attenuators and restriction of hourse of operation of the equipments. Transportation/Ci rcul atton d&F During construction operation, alteration of the present patterns of vehicular and pedestrian circulation will be needed, and therefore traffic on surrounding streets near the proposed project will increase. Any possibtllty of traffic hazards to motor vehicles, blcycltst or pedestrians during construction can be mitigated by the proper use of roadway warnings and detour signs.
