the extension of 48' Avenue. Applicant: La Quitita Arts Foundation -
Archaeological Consultant: ASM Affiliates, Inc.
1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the staff report, a copy of wihich is on
file in the Community Development Department.
2. Commissioner Mitchell stated he had worked with ASM Affiliates, Inc.
before and complimented them on their comprehensive report.
3. Commissioner Irwin stated she agreed with Commissioner Mitchell's
comments, but wondered after reading the report, if the archaeological
P:\CAR01.YN\HPC5-18-00.wpd -I- . - 003

monitoring needed to be on the entire property, or, if it is only necessary to
monitor.
4. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio noted there was no recommendation
regarding curation of the materials and the Commission should consider
including a condition that curation collections be submitted to the City.
5. The City's Curation Consultant, Ms. Roberta Greenwood asked if the
Commission routinely commented back to consulting archaeologists. She
said this report was certainly comprehensive and thorough, except it did not
say what screen size was used for the testing. There are only two beads, but
it was unknown if that amount was discovered because the screen was large
or if a fine screen was used.
6. Ms. Christi Salamone, representing the La Quinta Arts Foundation, indicated
that in the previous preliminary report the screen size may have been
indicated. This was the Phase II report and the concentration was on one
particular area. The depth was more of the emphasis because it is a dune and
the backhoe was used to reach a deeper level.
7. Ms. Roberta Greenwood stated it is still part of the State's checklist for what
should be in included in the report.
8. Planning Manager di Iorio stated, in regard to the monitoring, staff could
speak with the archaeologist and look at his recommendation as far as
identification of monitored area on the grading plan.
9. Commissioner Mitchell asked if the monitoring would be completed at one
time or piece -meal, which would difficult.
10. Planning Manager di Iorio answered that grading of the site would be
completed at one time.
11. Commissioner Puente commented that more attention should be given to the
curation.
12. Planning Manager di Iorio suggested it could be made a standard condition
in all future reports.
13. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Mitchell/Puente to adopt Minute Motion 2000-011 accepting
the Report on Archaeological Monitoring for Environmental Assessment
2000-034, as amended:
P:ACAROLYN\HPC5-1 A-OO.wpd -2- - 004

a. Collected artifacts shall be submitted to the City for curation.
b. The screen size shall be added to the report.
Unanimously approved with Chairman Wright absent.
Chairman Wright rejoined the meeting.
B. Report on Archaeological Monitoring for the La Ouinta Auto Centre: located on the
south side of Highway 111, east of Adams Street. Applicant: Jacobsson Engineering
and Construction, Inc. (For Stamko Development Company). Archaeological
Consultant: CRM TECH (Bruce Love, Ph D).
Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the staff report, a copy of which is on
file in the Community Development Department.
2. Planning Manager di Iorio clarified the City could ask for curation on this
project. Commissioner Irwin and Chairman Wright agreed.
There being no discussion, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners
Puente/Mitchell to adopt Minute Motion 2000-012 accepting the Report on
Archaeological Monitoring for the La Quinta Auto Centre on the south side
of Highway 111, east of Adams Street, as amended:
a. The curation collections shall be submitted to the City.
Unanimously approved.
C. Review of the Annual Certified Local Government Program - 1999 Annual Report.
Principal Planner Sawa presented the information contained in the report, a
copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department.
2. The Commissioners did not receive this item in their packets; therefore,
Planning Manager di Iorio went over some of the items noted in the packet;
such as the status of preservation in the community, design guidelines for the
Cove area, compliance with CEQA on all applications submitted with a
cultural resources report, and adopted minimum qualifications for
archaeologists. One of the local preservation goals that are currently in
process, but are not yet implemented, is the Qualified Repository and putting
together curation guidelines. Staff asked that when the Commissioners
received the packet, they needed to review it and notify staff of any changes
as soon as possible as this was going to the City Council on June 6" so it
could reach the State in time.

3. Chairman Wright complimented the Commission and staff for all their hard
work over the last year, especially on curation.
4. Chairman Wright asked Ms. Greenwood if she had any comments. Ms.
Greenwood replied she was attending the meeting to learn about. what the
Commission wanted. She stated she was delighted to have any small part in
the work. She told the Commissioners she wanted to know basically what
she could do for them and asked what they expected of her.
5. Ms. Greenwood explained she had received 26 random samples of
archaeological surveys, and tests going back to the early eighties. She
focused particularly on curation evaluation studies and possible commitments
that had been made. Out of the 26 reports, two were from 1981 and 1986 and
were claimed to have been sent to Archaeological Research Unit (ARU) in
Riverside and one is at a private contractor's office. Three say they will be
the responsibility of the City, but the City has no confirmation they have ever
been turned over. All sixteen reports, including the two reviewed today,
make no mention whatsoever of the collections, their whereabouts or their
care. Therefore, she think the City is starting off With the idea that there is
a lot of material around and some of it may be in private hands. She suggest
the City find out. In her opinion she think the materials for La Quinta are
primarily prehistoric rather than historical. Although that certainly might be
of interest, and just as real, but still a loss to the City in materials that could
be vastly educational and be used for outreach to school children, for displays
for tourists, and scientific research. These materials might answer many
important questions about La Quinta and they are scattered all over creation.
Before we even start to think about where or what size of facility ;you need,
you need to know what you've got to begin with; what might already be at
ARU, or in the hands of private contractors, and what the City currently does
have. Finding out what the storage needs are, would be a priority; are these
artifacts perishables, are they stone tools, are they photographic records, do
they need climate control are all things to be considered. Work on the
specifications as they are very explicit and very detailed. Second, you can
begin to figure out how much space you need and where you are going to put
them. Therefore, she would suggest we head more or less in that direction;
in that order. The other thing, when she mentioned looking at the back of the
reports for the bibliographies - in just those 26 reports, there are bibliographic
references to maybe hundreds of other reports which the City does not have.
She suggested the City might want to know they have a complete inventory
of these resources. Also, to find out where those materials are. In her
opinion, the City might have more than they think they have.
6. Commissioner Mitchell added that when he worked for the Bureau of Land
Management, they had to start finding out where all their collections were,
and, it turned out to be a bigger job than expected, S U,Ghe agreed the City
P:\CAROLPN\HPC5-18-OO.wpd -4-
Historic Preservation Commission Minutes
May 18, 2000
needs to take one step at a time to reach a solution. He was concerned that
each report he had reviewed did not include a catalog, and no documentation
on the location of the artifacts, nor how they were curated. He was glad Ms.
Greenwood had been hired by the City to take on the job. He was looking
forward to working with her.
Ms. Greenwood thanked him for his support and informed the Commission
the City may be able to recover some of their costs. When her cornpany has
to prepare a report for a client, the have to pay for the curation. This should
be written into every archaeological consultant's contract with the City, or
whoever hires them. Cost of curation is aline item in the contract, or should
be. When La Quinta gets to the point of having a curating facility some of
these costs to maintain and construct such a facility can be recovered from
the people who bring in the collections. There is currently a shortage of
curating facilities and consultants are having to send some of our collections
hundreds of miles away. Most of the universities are refusing any outside
collections.
Chairman Wright commented on how excited he was Ms. Greenwood was
had been hired for this project as there was such a need. He also mentioned
the Historical Society's lack of curation space; to which Commissioner Irwin
replied the new Museum building would not be built until the year 2003 or
2004. She was concerned about what could be lost in the interim if nothing
was done. She brought up the problem of identifying what belongs to the
Native American Indians, to the developers, and what belongs to the City.
She suggested guidelines be prepared.
9. Planning Manager di Iorio replied there had been some discussion on whether
the City has the ability to use some of the new storage facilities currently
being built in La Quinta in the interim. Possibly the artifacts could be kept
there if a funding source can be located. They are air conditioned and this
location might work as a temporary solution.
10. Chairman Wright suggested the City staff might want to talk with some of
the Native American Indian Tribes since they are going to be building large
casino, and they may have the financial resources to solve the problem right
now. They may consider building a joint facility in the Valley.
11. Planning Manager di Iorio replied she had a met with the Cabazon Band
would like to be connected to a computer network to have a cataloging
system to interact with everybody.
P:ACAROLYN\HPC5-I8-00.wpd -5- - 001
Historic Preservation Commission Minutes
May 18, 2000
12. Commissioner Irwin stated she understood the Agua Caliente Museum was
a non-profit organization. Therefore, we would not be dealing with a
particular Indian Tribe. Also, the Cabazon Band had talked about having a
Museum.
13. Planning Manager di Iorio confirmed they had a Museum, but it was out of
room as well. It would, however, be helpful to have coordination between all
the different Museums.
14. Chairman Wright stated it was important to build a large enough facility that
it would not be obsolete the day it opens its doors. It seemed as though
warehouse space was probably one of the most important aspects of a
curation facility.
15. Planning Manager di Iorio commented on the Archaeology Conference
Curation Program she attended. She said Fort Irwin had an archaeology
program that was very interesting. She met and talked with their personnel
who said they would be willing to come down and talk about their program.
They have put together an educational program that is very interesting. The
Commission should consider meeting with them because it involves all the
issues the Commission has been discussing.
16. Commissioner Irwin commented that Fort Irwin wasn't too far and possibly
the Commissioners could visit them.
17. Planning Manager di Iorio replied the Commissiotr was welcome to take a
field trip as they would be happy to have the Commission visit them. She
said she would make the arrangements for the visit.
18. Ms. Greenwood pointed out that on the Naval Base in San Diego they gave
their archaeologist an underground weapons bunker which is of course,
everything proof and he has turned it into one of the really magnificent, well
organized, computerized, archived, acid -free, repositories just for. the Base.
She also mentioned that the Indian Tribes may not be interested in all the
miscellaneous artifacts, but only those that display well, due to lack of
storage space.
19. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Irwin/Puente to adopt Minute Motion 2000-013
recommending to the City Council acceptance of the Annual Certified Local
Government Program 1999 Annual Report. Unanimously accepted.

VI. CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL
V1I. COMMISSIONER ITEMS
A. Commissioners discussed a historic plaque to be presented by the Historical Society
for Hacienda del Gato at the Tradition.
Commissioner Irwin reviewed some facts that were known about the
Hacienda del Gato:
a. The Hacienda del Gato is located amidst a Desert Cahuilla Village.
b. There was an Indian well that was second to the one in Indian Wells.
C. 160 acres were homesteaded in 1902 by John Marshall.
d. His brother-in-law, Albert Green, took the remaining 160 acres and
that's what became the Ahmandsen Ranch and now Xochiamilco.
e. The whole area was known as Marshall's Cove.
f. Marshall Road became Washington Street.
g. The Hacienda building that exists today was built in the 1920's.
h. Wayman and Elizabeth Rosecrans purchased the property in 1938,
following the death of John Marshall.
i. It was named Hacienda del Gato after a stray cat saved Mrs.
Rosecrans from a rattlesnake. It was coiled up outside her kitchen
door and when she opened the door the cat intervened.
j. The Rosecrans grew Deglet Noor dates.
k. In 1954, the Ranch was bought by John Homes who removed the
dying date trees and planted citrus.
1. The ranch was actively farmed until 1980 uti it it was sold a number
of times to various developers.
M. The Sienna Corp, who is building the Traditions Country Club, was
the fifth developer who owned the property.
n. Mr. Fritz Burns did own it, but did not nothing significant with the
property.
There is some information we may want to include on the plaque and a lot of
infonnation that is not necessary. She then asked if any Commissioners had
additional information, she would like to have it as soon as possible.
2. Commissioner Irwin stated the historic reference would emphasize the
builder and not the style of the structure and the Historical Society has been
able to identify the builder.
2. Planning Manager di Iorio asked if the Historical Society had a copy of the
building permit and whether they had a specific date, or a circa date, on the
building.

P:ACAROLYN\HPC5-18-00.wvd -7-
Historic Preservation Commission Minutes
May 18, 2000
3. Commissioner Irwin replied they had a circa date. She had information that
the builder had built the first building in 1920 and later in 1920's, he built the
permanent Hacienda.
4. Planning Manager di Iorio asked if there was any connection with any movie
stars or other dignitaries, such as President Dwight Eisenhower.
5. Commissioner Irwin replied the Rosecrans' bought the Ranch and since he
was very influential, he had a lot of visiting friends. They know that Rudolph
Valentino and John Kennedy were there, but the Historical Society is not
emphasizing the star quality of the Hacienda, but rather the historical quality.
Commissioner Irwin suggested a draft be made, then have Mr. David
Chapman work with the Historical Society editing it. The final draft could
then be presented to the Commission for approval.
6. Chairman Wright asked if the current property owner's name should be
included.
7. Commissioner Irwin replied it should not. The plaque is to be historic,
without a progression of owners.
8. Principal Planner Sawa asked if the plaque would be placed on the building.
9. Commissioner Irwin replied that it would. It would be similar to the one the
Historical Society placed outside of Montahas at the La Quinta Hotel.
10. Planning Manager di Iorio suggested the Historical Society incorporate some
of the verbage used by the Historic Resources Consultant for Hacienda del
Gato as its description was well written. She complimented the consultant
on her descriptive analysis.
11. Commissioner Irwin asked if she could obtain a copy of that report as she
was not a Commissioner when it was written.
12. Planning Manager di Iorio stated she would see that Commissioner Irwin,
Chairman Wright and Ms. Greenwood received copies.
C. A general discussion followed allowing each Commissioner to comment on the
recent meetings they had attended and what was learned. .

PHASE I CULTURAL ASSESSMENT OF 5.65 ACRE SITE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WASHINGTON STREET AND

G.J. MURPHY CONSTRUCTION
ARCHAEOLOGICAL ADVISORY GROUP (JAMES BROCK)
The property is an irregularly shaped triangular site at the southeast corner of
Washington Street and Highway 111, west of Simon Motors. A Phase I cultural
assessment survey of the 5.65 acre site has been submitted in anticipation of a future
development project.
DISCUSSION:
A records search was conducted through the Eastern Information Center of the
California Historical Resources Information System at UC Riverside. The search found
the study area (project site) had been included in three previous archaeological studies
from 1981 and earlier. The study area was once considered part of the large village
site CA-RIV-150. With the refinement of site areas in the region the study area is no
longer regarded as part of a cultural deposit.
During the field survey of the study area, only one isolated brownware sherd was
found. The property has ben exposed to extensive dumping and grading over the
years. However, due to the proximity of the property to known archaeological sites,
it is recommended that archaeological monitoring occur during rough grading arid major
trenching (e.g. sewer) for the proposed project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Minute Motion 2000- , accepting :
1.) The "Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment of 5.65 Acres at the Southeast

The purpose of the study was to identify all potentially significant cultural resources
situated within the ten acre parcel that will be developed into a 36 lot subdivision.
The site is a relatively flat sand field which represents the southern fringe of the
Myoma Dunes.
DISCUSSION:
A records search was conducted through the Eastern Information Center of the
California Historical Resources Information System at UC Riverside. The results of the
record search and field study were equally negative as to any archaeological finds.
Therefore, since a thorough study has failed to reveal the presence of any cultural
resources within the boundaries of the study area, no further work in conjunction with
such resources is recommended

RE: NHPA Section 106 review, per FCC direction, of AT&T Wireless Services, Wireless
Communications Facility, Site C964, located at 49-499 Eisenhower Drive, La Quinta,
California
Dear Mr. Abeyta:
Myra L. Frank & Associates, Inc., (MFA) is under contract to AT&T Wireless Services
(ATTWS) and Environmental Sciences Associates to evaluate and make recommendations to the
California State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) regarding the installation of
telecommunication facilities that may affect historic properties. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has directed ATTWS to consult with the SHPO regarding the ATTWS C964
undertaking. The basis for this consultation is 36 CFR Part 800. The ATTWS C964
undertaking involves the proposed construction of a clock/antenna structure on the roof'of the
Salon de Flores, which is a recently constructed building (c. 1995) located within the La Quinta
Resort and Club.
In order to assist FCC in complying with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA), ATTWS has evaluated the proposed construction of a clock/antenna structure, which
would measure 12.5 feet, bringing the total height of the building to 51.8 feet. The interior
equipment will be installed in an underground parking structure below the existing building. A
records search conducted on February 25, 2000, by the Eastern Information Center identified the
Frank Capra Room and vintage casitas located approximately 400 feet south of the Salon de
Flores as "potentially significant historical propert[ies]." The potentially significant properties,
however, are separated from the proposed project site by mature vegetation, a large, landscaped
courtyard, and non -historic meeting rooms, administrative offices, and a commercial building.
The new clock/antenna structure would have no physical or visual effects on the historic
properties; therefore, they are out of the proposed project's Area of Potential Effects. Thus, the
proposed project would have no effect on historic properties.
On behalf of the FCC, ATTWS is requesting that SHPO address the multiple steps outlined in
§800.3 - §800.6 in an expedited review, as permitted under §800.3(g) of 36 CFR Part 800.
ATTWS is requesting that SHPO review and comment on the enclosed supporting
