Preliminary Site Assessment. Questa will conduct a site inventory of the Study area, including assessment of traffic conditions and bicycling and walking patterns, and other features and information. Questa will identify issues including, but not limited to, slope/driveway conflicts, right-of-way constraints, existing parking impacts, driveway transitions, environmental issues, accessibility issues, drainage problems and relocation of existing utilities. Questa fieldwork efforts will be summarized and presented as a memorandum on existing conditions, which will include a site analysis diagram, site photography, field measurements, and descriptions of field observations and site conditions. Field measurements will be taken by Questa to supplement the survey. Questa will provide a site analysis diagram to be used in discussions with Marin County DPW staff, local community representatives, and any other relevant personnel through the preliminary design phase. Questa will also review pertinent planning documents to ensure consistency with local planning efforts including, but not limited to: ▪ Mill Valley Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Master Plan Update ▪ Marin County Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan ▪ Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Project Feasibility Studies ▪ Marin County feasibility/traffic studies Questa will incorporate the above analysis into environmental review documents. Questa will conduct an initial environmental site assessment to determine potential project impacts. This will be accomplished by completing an Initial Study Checklist (CEQA) and Natural Environment Study Report (NESMI) in Caltrans format.
Preliminary Site Assessment collate and review all available geotechnical information, records, assessments and geotechnical investigation proposals of relevant previous studies necessary for the implementation of the Project; determine the land and/or reclamation requirements for the implementation of the Project; evaluate site characteristics (including usable area, location, topography, present zoning and land use, accessibility, etc.), geotechnical conditions, constraints and issues associated with the development of IWMF3 at each of the Project sites and any major constraints, uncertainties and/or risks involved; evaluate whether planning permission or amendment to the existing zoning is required; determine the site boundary and propose suitable configurations for site formation/reclamation at each of the two Project sites; evaluate development options and propose practical and cost-effective methods for site formation/reclamation; assess the critical issues and works for site formation and construction of IWMF3, and propose measures for mitigation; identify all existing geotechnical features within and in the vicinity of the Project sites and recommend the scope of necessary slope works to be carried out in future studies; and recommend required investigations, surveys, studies, mitigation measures and additional work to be carried out in future studies.
Preliminary Site Assessment i) collate and review all available geotechnical information, records, assessments and geotechnical investigation proposals of relevant previous studies necessary for the implementation of the Project;
ii) determine the land and/or reclamation requirements for the implementation of the Project;
iii) evaluate site characteristics (including usable area, location, topography, present zoning and land use, accessibility, etc.), geotechnical conditions, constraints and issues associated with the development of IWMF3 at each of the Project sites and any major constraints, uncertainties and/or risks involved;
iv) evaluate whether planning permission or amendment to the existing zoning is required;
v) determine the site boundary and propose suitable configurations for site formation/reclamation at each of the two Project sites;
vi) evaluate development options and propose practical and cost-effective methods for site formation/reclamation;
vii) assess the critical issues and works for site formation and construction of IWMF3, and propose measures for mitigation;
viii) identify all existing geotechnical features within and in the vicinity of the Project sites and recommend the scope of necessary slope works to be carried out in future studies; and
ix) recommend required investigations, surveys, studies, mitigation measures and additional work to be carried out in future studies.
