City ofCenterville Centerville Downtown Redevelopment Project December 29, 2006 Page 4 Task 7: Response to Comments, Findings of Fact and Record of Decision After the EA W has been through the 30-day comment period, Task 7 entails providing written responses to questions raised by commenter's. The level of effort needed to address this task is difficult to predict because the nature and number of comments to be received is unknown. For the purposes of this proposal, we are anticipating that approximately 8-10 different comments will be received and that no additional studies will be needed. to address the comments. Note that we may receive more than 8-10 comment/etters, but we are anticipating that some of the letters will contain similar comments. Task 7may also involve assisting the RGU with preparation of the Findings of Fact and Record of Decision (FOF/ROD), if assistance is desired. For this project, we are assuming Bonestroo will assistthe City in this effort and will prepare and distribute the final documents with City input. It is assumed that approximately 10 copies of the final documents will be needed for City approval. After approval of the FOF/ROD, the official document is distributed along with the Response to Comments to all those who commented on the EA W, as well as the agencies on the EA W Distribution List. The Notice of Decision will be submitted to the EQB for publication in the EQB Monitor. . Task 8: Meetings . In addition to the meetings included in the scope of Tasks 2 and 4 above (traffic and noise/air impact analyses), our proposal includes one Bonestroo staff person in attendance at the two City Council meetings where key EA W approvals are scheduled to occur. If additional meetings or presentations . becomenecessaryduring the EA W process, they will be billed on a time and materials basis as an additional service. SCHEDULE A schedule for the EA W process is summarized below; a more detailed schedule is attached. Task 1 Task 2 Task 3 Task 4 We estimate that Task 1 willtake approximately three weeks to complete after project authorization, subject to the receipt of information requested from the project proposer, the City of Centerville, other government agencies contacted, etc. Once authorized to begin, the traffic analysis could be completed with a draft report provided to the City for review within 8 weeks, assuming timely meetings can be scheduled to fit. Please note that once the traffic study begins, changes to the proposed development land uses would require us to re-start our process, potentially incurring additional time and expenses. The wetland determination can be completed soon after project authorization, depending on weather conditions. Results of the determination will be incorporated into the EA W. The wetland delineation can be completed when the growing season commences (spring 2007) and can be completed within two weeks. Results of the delineation will not be available for publication in the EA W but may be available for inclusion in the Findings of Fact. The noise monitoring can be conducted immediately following the notice-to-proceed and the kick-off meeting. It will take one or two daysofgood weather days to complete. The noise modeling can begin as soon as SBP receives existing and post-development peak- hour traffic volumes for the affected roadways. The modeling and draft reportcan be completed within two weeks from receiving the traffic volume data.
