The scope of work for both consultants has changed as a result of project changes. The additional work is described below. The Development Services Department is recommending that the City Council authorize the additional work required to complete the Environmental Impact Report and related studies in the amount of $27,000 for Agajanian & Associates and $25,000 for LSA Associates, Inc. and further authorize the City Manager to execute the required contract amendments. DISCUSSION On November 27, Santa Anita Realty Enterprises formally requested that the analysis within the SAEC Environmental Impact Report be expanded to include a 975,000 square foot alternative. In order to meet the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Santa Anita's request requires that LSA and Agajanian & Associates expand both the EIR and the economic impact analysis to analyze this additional alternative at the same level of detail as the 1,504000 square foot project. In addition, it is necessary for Agajanian & Associates to prepare a market feasibility study to determine the regional market demand for the project uses to make a finding regarding the project's market feasibility. The current market research completed by Agajanian& Associates focused on local businesses with the expectation that Santa Anita would provide regional market studies for use in this analysis, however, this information 1-3ccrpt SART Additional Services Page 1 January 2, 1996 LASER IMAGED was not available from Santa Anita. As a result, Agajanian & Associates was required to expand their market research efforts to cover the project's regionally competitive uses. The City Attorney has advised that this additional work is within the scope of the existing contracts with LSA Associates, Inc. and Agajanian & Associates and is subject to Council Approval. The additional work described above includes $27,000 for Agajanian & Associates and $25,000 for LSA Associates and is subject to reimbursement from the Project Applicant pursuant to their Reimbursement Agreement with the City. CITY COUNCIL ACTION The City Council should approve the additional work described above for Agajanian & Associates and LSA Associates, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute die required contract amendments prepared and approved by the City Attorney.

A Real Estate Investment Trust T. D.Austin Vice President O y Z 8 1995 Design&Construction November 27, 1995 Ms. Donna Butler Community Development Administrator City of Arcadia 240 West Huntington Drive Arcadia, CA 91007 RE: ADDITIONAL ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SANTA ANITA ENTERTAINMENT CENTER(SAEC) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR) Dear Ms. Butler: This letter serves to formally request that the analysis within the SAEC EIR be expanded to include a 975,000 square foot alternative. The impact analysis of this additional alternative should be in equal detail to the analysis conducted for the 1,500,000 square foot project. It is our understanding that this request will require an augment to the Reimbursement Agreement by approximately $35,000 which includes $25,000 for LSA and approximately $10,000 for Agajanian Associates. A check for$25,000 was mailed to you on November 21, 1995. In the interest of time, this letter will serve as authorization to amend the Reimbursement Agreement. Since Mr. Agajanian had not prepared a detailed cost estimate, we would request an opportunity to review and discuss his additional work effort prior to the execution of the amended Reimbursement Agreement. As we discussed at our November 21, 1995, meeting, Santa Anita Realty Enterprises (SARE) has been working on refinements to the 975,000 square feet alternative. The refinements generally encompass land use minor circulation and linkage issues. We will be discussing these chan ges with staff and the City consultants between now and the December 4 meeting. 301 West Huntington Drive•Suite 405•Arcadia,California 91007-3471 Telephone:(818)574-5550•FAX:(818)574-5997 • Ms. Donna Butler November 27, 1995 Page 2 Also, SARE is willing to assist the City in addressing the budget shortfall created by LSA in updating the General Plan. To this end, SARE mailed a check to you for$19,803 on November 21, 1995. In closing, we look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with the City on this exciting project, and please don't hesitate to contact me if there is anything SARE can do to expedite this process.
