EXHIBIT A MUNDIE & ASSOCIAiE6 6452 Sacramento Street San Francisco, CA 94118 July 2s, 2004 Brian Swift, Planning Director City of Pleasanton P. O. Box 520 Pleasanton, CA 94566 Dear Brian: Mundie & Associates is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare a Supplement. to the EIR (envi- ronmental impact report) on the Happy Valley Specific Plan. The proposal is organized as follows: i Context 1 ~ 5 Bud et ~ 2 Pro sed Pro'ect ' 2 i , 6 Schedule 9 s Sco of Services , s ; ~ r Contractual Matters ' 9 16 8 ect Our Interest in the Pro 9 4 Staffing MV VOu uzt:,oaawbst ~' ~ The planning context for development decisions in the Happy Valley area of Pleasanton has been established by the Happy Valley Specific Plan (HVSP), adopted by Pleasanton in 1998. The environmental impact report (EIR) on the Happy Valley Specific Plan had been prepared in tandem with the Specific Plan, allowing mitigation for many environmental impacts to be incorporated into the plan. This procedure resulted in an EIR which found adverse impacts in only a small number of subject areas: land use, biology, and seismic safety. The EIR on the Happy Valley Specific Plan (HVSP) was prepared by Mundie & Associates (M&A) under the direction of Pleasanton staff: Mundie & Associates (M&A) is, therefore, familiar with the site, the types and locations of development proposed under the plan, the plan alternatives, and the environmental mitigation measures built into the plan. Because of our work on other Pleasanton projects (e.g., the 1996 Genera] Plan and San Francisco's Bernal property project), M&A is also familiar with the development and planning environment of the City. This background will be useful in initiating work on further CEQA review of the Happy Valley Specific Plan without delay and in completing an administrative draft for stafl'review more rapidly than might otherwise be possible. Clarification of informational and process matters is needed before the consultant's scope of work will be fully defined. These include: 1. Greenbriar's development plan. The essence of Greenbriar's proposal has been described to us by staff, and Greenbriar has followed up by providing a site plan for the residential development proposed for the Spotorno Flat Area and a plan for the proposed (realigned) Bypass Road. We expect to seek additional information from Greenbriar to fill out our understand of their project and its requirements. 2. Changes in the Happy Valley Specific Plan area since the adoption of the HVSP.
