RE: Big Canyon Subdivision Dirt Import — Contract Amendment
Dear Ms. Nova:
Phil Martin & Associates is requesting an amendment to its professional services agreement with the City of
Newport Beach dated June 28, 2010 in the amount of $7,700. The project applicant proposes to grade and
fill a small drainage feature at the northern end of the building pact to increase the size of the pad. The
requested contract amendment is for Glenn Lukos Associates to provide regulatory support services
pertaining to the evaluation of this small drainage feature to determine if the feature is subject to jurisdiction
u7th the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Fish and Game, and/or the California.
Regional Water Quality Control Board. In order to determine whether or not the drainage area is within the
jurisdiction of the three resource agencies it is necessary for Glenn Lukos Associates to conduct the above
work. The cost for Glenn Lukos Associates to complete its scope of work is $6,920.
In addition to the Glenn Lukos Assuciatcs fee, I xcqucst an additional 5°/u (,$346) of their fee for coordination
effort between the City and Glenn Lukos Associates. The cost of the additional scope of work described
above is $7,266 ($6,920 + $346 = $7,266). Phil Martin & Associates is requesting an amendment to its
current professional service agreement to add an additional $7,266 resulting in a new professional service
agreement total of $14,966.
If you have questions or require additional information, please contact me at 714-544-1944

RE: Big Canyon Subdivision Dirt Import - Proposal to Prepare Negative Declaration
Dear Mr. Bunim:
Phil Martin & Associates appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to prepare a Negative
Declaration to import approximately 45,000 cubic yards of dirt from the Newport Beach City Hall site to a
residential pad located at 1 Big Canyon Drive, Newport Beach, CA. In addition, the project includes the
removal of approximately 40,000 cubic yards of existing dirt from the residential pad and spread
approximately 30,000 to 35,000 cubic yards of that dirt on the Big Canyon golf course. Approximately 5,000
to 10,000 cubic yards of "spoils" of the 40,000 cubic yards would be exported and hauled off -site. The
40,000 cubic yards of imported dirt is anticipated to raise the height of the existing residential pad
approximately 10-12 feet above its existing pad surface elevation.
This proposal includes a detailed scope of work, fixed fee and preliminary schedule to prepare a Negative
Declaration for the project
SCOPE OF WOli%
The following scope of work proposes to update the adopted Big Canyon Subdivision Mitigated Negative
Declaration for Parcel Map No. 2008 -111 to address importing approximately 40,000 cubic yards of dirt that
will be dumped and spread on an existing vacant residential parcel at 1 Big Canyon Drive, Newport Beach,
CA to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The preparation of the Negative

spread onto the residential pad at 1 Big Canyon Drive, Newport Beach, CA and raise the pad by
approximately 10-12 feet in height Phil Martin will update the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration m
accurately reflect the current project proposal.
The Negative Declaration will include a detailed project description, regional and local vicinity maps,
preliminary grading plan, aerial photograph depicting the site and surrounding land uses, and surface level
photographs of the site and the area immediately surrounding the site. Detailed written explanations similar
to the explanations in the current Mitigated Negative Declaration of how each environmental discipline will
or will not be impacted by the project will be provided to support the conclusion for each environmental
topic.
Phil Martin & Associates will incorporate the air quality and noise studies prepared by Mestre Greve
Associates and the complete reports will be included in the Negative Declaration appendix.
C. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM - Option
If mitigation measures are required to mitigate impacts, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MlYMP)
will be prepared as required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6. The MMRP will list all
recommended mitigation measures and identify the department and contact person with the City that will be
responsible to monitor the implementation of each mitigation measure. A City MMRP format will be
followed and once completed, submitted to staff for its review. Phil Martin & Associates will incorporate
staff changes and submit five copies to staff
D. SCREEN CHECK DRAFT NEGATIVE DECLARATION

H. PROJECT COORDINATION AND MEETINGS

I. FILE NOTICE OF DETERMINATION /PAY FISH AND GAME FEE
Once the Negative Declaration is adopted, Phil Martin & Associates will submit a Notice of Determination
(NOD) to staff for signature. Phil Martin & Associates will file the NOD with the County Clerk as required
by Section 15094 of the CEQA Guidelines the day after the project is approved.
In conjunction with filing the NOD with the County Clerk, the City will be required to pay a Fish and Game
Fee. At this time we feel the project will not have any significant adverse impacts to biological resources. As
a result, we will submit a CEQA Filing Fee No Effect Determination Form to Region 5 of the California Fish
and Game for their determination whether or not the project will impact fish and wildlife resources. If
successful, payment of the Fish and Game fee for preparation of the Negative Declaration will not be
required. However, if the Department of Fish and Game determines the project will have an impact to fish
and wildlife resources, we will request a check from the City of Newport Beach to pay the Fish and Game fee
at the time the NOD for a Negative Declaration is filed with the County Clerk. Once the NOD is filed there
is a 30 -day statute of limitation period the public has to file legal challenges to the Final Negative Declaration.
J. FEE
The fixed fee for Phil Martin & Associates to complete the above scope of work is $7,700.00. This fee
includes the preparation of the Negative Declaration, printing and mailing costs, attend two staff meetings,
and file the Notice of Determination with the County Clerk. A breakdown of the cost is shown below.
