The S/MND has concluded its required public review period and is now ready for acceptance by the City Council. Plans and contract specifications have also been completed for the project with the exception of the specific type of retaining wall to_be constructed along the north side of the roadway. Once the retaining wall details have been finalized, the plans and specifications will be ready to advertise for bid. City Manager Kearney handed over the staff report to the City Engineer, David Gilbertson, for the Project Description. City Engineer David Gilbertson (RKA Consulting Group) stated that the segment of Bradbury Road/Wildrose Avenue between Winding Oak Lane and the main entrance to the Bradbury Estates is a narrow curvilinear two-lane roadway with limited shoulder areas due to the presence of large hedges, severe slopes, mature trees, and a steep hillside. The current roadway width presents hazards and challenges to large moving trucks, horse trailers, and construction vehicles entering and exiting the Estates main entrance. This situation has been exacerbated due to the prohibition of large vehicles using the narrow Wild Rose bridge in Monrovia westerly of the main entrance. The widening of the roadway will provide a safer means of access for all vehicles using the main Bradbury The existing street width of approximately 23 feet will be increased to a proposed uniform curb-to-curb street width of36 feet. Due to the steep slope along the north side of the street, this widening will require the construction of a large retaining wall along the 150 Deodar Lane property frontage.

RETAINING WALL:  Minutes CC Meeting December 13, 2022 Page 2 of6    The construction of a retaining wall along the north side of the roadway will be required to not only minimize grading impacts but also to preserve the remainder of the hillside and maximize the preservation of its prominent trees. There are a few options 1. Soil-nail wall (rock faces, boulder faces or form poured) 4. Decorative wall (stucco, rock face, decorative cap) to match the Bradbury Estates entrance walls. The widening of the road on the north end of the project will have an impact to the existing hillside and its vegetation, which includes mature Coast Live Oaks trees. Construction of the retaining wall will minimize the impacts but it still anticipated that eleven (11) Oak trees will be impacted by construction. However, the final count of the trees to be removed will be determined at the time of construction by a certified arborist. City Engineer Gilbertson stated that there are three properties along the roadway that will be impacted by the widening project: 150 Deodar Lane, 28 Dovetail Lane, and 302 Bradbury At the November 15, 2022 City Council Meeting, public testimony was received from several concerned residents. Some of the issues are identified as follows: Are drainage improvements included in the project? The project will contribute minimal amounts of additional storm run-off sO the existing drainage patterns will be maintained and no drainage improvements are included, or needed, in the The project will have minimal detrimental impacts to the Much of the natural hillside will be maintained in its current condition sO the project will have a minimal impact to the exiting Why not improve the Lemon Avenue entrance to the Bradbury Estates in lieu of construction oft this project? The segment of Bradbury Road/Wildrose Avenue is sub- standard in width and does not allow for safe passage of two- way traffic, especially large trucks and delivery vehicles. The proposed project will widen the roadway to provide improved ingress/egress to the main entrance for large vehicles, thereby allowing the existing gate to be the primary entrance. The operation of the Lemon. Avenue gate is the responsibility of the Bradbury Estates HOA and is not part of this project. Itis recommended that the City Council 1) Approve the S/MND Document and Mitigation Measures for the Bradbury Road' Widening Project; 2) Approve he project's total cost estimate of $736,498;  for the proposed retaining wall type: 2.

Our community's native oak trees are priceless. They serve such vital functions as providing shade and oxygen for our neighborhoods, calming noise and traffic, providing habitat for wildlife, and equesterngatmoprerc carbon. All of these functions Per the Project's Native Tree Survey and Arborist Report, 22 of the trees proposed for removal are Prominent Trees in good or fair health. 25 trees require mitigation for removal. The proposed mitigations of 1:1 replacement with 15-gallon trees are woefulyinadequate considering the immediate global climate crisis. Our native oaks are not fast-growing trees. It may take many decades for a 15-gallon Coast Live Oak to grow to maturity to functionally replace a large existing tree. Whether a young oak can survive the ongoing desertification of our region is another question. As annual average temperatures rise and drought becomes the new norm in Southern California, how many of these replacement oaks will survive to maturity? With the recent unprecedented losses of SO many of our native oaks to wildfire, lurge the City of Bradbury as the lead agency on this project to require the developer to prioritize the preservation of mature oaks in all phases of both this project and the associated mansion development project, including site planning, grading, and construction, in keeping with the City's professed intent to preserve and protect its trees as an important natural resource. The City of Bradbury should work with the City of Monrovia to fully assess whether it isnecessary to utilize this entrance to the Bradbury Estates, or if an alternative can be found that would negate the necessity of widening Bradbury Road and removing these trees. The Project's Arborist Report discusses the difficulty of maintaining these trees through grading, with reference to the significant slope on-site and the potential dangers of root compaction and soil disturbance, SO it is likely not feasible to save these trees if the project proceeds as proposed. In that event, a 5-131 ft retaining wall may not be the right choice for this  make our cities healthier and more livable.  every remaining tree is now more important than it has ever been.  1    neighborhood. A stepped wall that can be landscaped in tiers could potentially help mitigate the loss of these trees aesthetically as well as reduce the glare, heat, and noise likely to result However, any trees that can be saved should be saved, and the loss of trees that cannot be saved should be mitigated in a manner that more accurately reflects the value these trees represent to the community. If these oaks must be removed, they should be replaced at a higher ratio with larger box trees as appropriate and in accordance with the minimum recommended mitigations proposed by the Arborist Report, which recommends replacement at a minimum ratio of 2:1. Additionally, Iwould like to see the concurrent planting of additional fast-growing trees for each mature oak to be removed, in order to more rapidly replace some of the lost canopy on a temporary basis until the replacement oaks grow to maturity. This could help to mitigate some of the climate impacts of removing sO many large The City of Bradbury should not approve a Mitigated Negative Declaration that does not even attempt to meet the minimum mitigations proposed by the consulting arborist; this seems to show a lack of good faith in preparation of the MND. It does seem like a point that could be challenged by parties seeking a full EIR. Ib believe a better approach would be to sit down with interested stakeholders in both Bradbury and Monrovia to see what solutions might be agreed Ihope the City of Bradbury recognizes the importance of all protected native oak trees to the community and moves to act in the best interest of those who will be most impacted by the  from the construction of a single, large wall.  mature trees.  upon.  proposed projects.

Thanks, Edward Belden Concerned Resident of Monrovia    Bradbury Road Widening Project Comments, Issues, and Concerns submitted to the City of Bradbury for the City Council Meeting on December 13, 2022.  Introduction  This project has very few benefits if any and yet causes huge impacts to the community at a substantial monetary cost. In fact the Project's MND does not even provide a rationale as to why this project is being undertaken. This project in its current form is exactly the type of project that CEQA was designed to tell people it should not proceed. That is of course if a proper Environmental Analysis was completed which would require an Environmental Impact Report. For the reasons provided below the current MND is insufficient and does not clearly address all impacts, does not reduce impacts below the level of significance to the environment, the community, and the natural resources as Comments, Concerns and Issues with the Bradbury Road Widening Project  prescribed by CEQA.  Mitigated Negative Declaration dated November 2022.  Section 2. 2.1 Project Location  The project location map, Figure 1, indicates that a significant part of this project is actually in Monrovia and not in Bradbury, if we don't have a good understanding of where this project is we should not be undertaking it and can we trust the rest of the MND to be sufficient ift the maps are not consistent? If this project is within Monrovia, they should have provided formal comments on this MND, there is no letter from the City of Monrovia in this package. In addition, the Project and description on detail of the  Encroachment Permits required by the City of Monrovia.  Section 4.3 1.Aesthetics  d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect This section states Additionally, the Project would not be capacity increasing and would not result in additional traffic or subsequent light from headlights." If this is the case why is the project needed at all if no additional traffic will be using the roadway. The existing  day or nighttime views in the area?  roadway should be sufficient.    This section fails to address the new lighting that will be used along the new retaining wall and entrance to Bradbury estates once it is complete and the impacts it will have on the neighbors in Monrovia from additional light and glare?. Additional analysis is required and mitigation measures would be required to limit lighting impacts to the residential  neighborhood. The current MND is insufficient.  4. Biological Resources:  b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? The MND does not mitigate Impacts to Coast Live Oak Woodlands. The MND clearly states the project will have an impact to 0.18 acres of Oak Woodlands (The Biological Report states 0.29 acres of Oak Woodlands) that are listed as a Sensitive Natural Community by the California Department of Fish and' Wildlife and also listed to be The California Oak Woodlands provide habitat for more than 300 species of wildlife, moderate temperature extremes, reduce soil erosion and sustain water quality. This is not addressed in the MND at all and the proposed mitigation would not replace oak woodlands as a habitat type. The current mitigation will only replace single oak trees in various undescribed locations that will not mitigate the loss of Oak Woodland Habitat. Therefore, this project isi inconsistent with Bradbury General Plan, which is not addressed, and it is also inconsistent with state law regarding protecting CDFW Sensitive Habitats. Additional analysis and mitigation is needed to reduce impacts below d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife The project does not have enough information to determine the impacts to migratory birds due to the one day survey that was completed at the site. The current proposed mitigation measure calls for only one survey prior to construction which will not mitigate disruptions to birds that travel to the site to nest while construction is on-going. Therefore the current MND is insufficient and does not mitigate impacts to migratory  protected by the City of Bradbury General Plan.  the level of impact.
