2. Commissioner Mouriquand commented the report was dated
2003 and wanted to know why the Commission was receiving
it now. Staff deferred the question to Michael Hogan, of CRM
TECH, who replied they submitted the report to their client in
2003. Commissioner Mouriquand asked if there had been a
problem with the report. Mr. Hogan replied he had discussed
the report with staff and there were no issues. He commented
the client may have now been at a stage in the project where
they realized they had to submit the report.
3. Commissioners Sharp, Puente, and Wright had no comments.
4. Commissioner Mouriquand asked what was being done with all
the shells being collected. Staff replied they are temporarily
being stored at City Hall until a permanent location has been
determined for curation. Staff suggested the Commission and
the consultants might want to give staff direction as to the
disposition of the shells.
5. Commissioner Mouriquand asked Mr. Hogan if he had any
recommendations for the City. Mr. Hogan replied the idea of
collecting the shells is to find out more about micro
environments. Commissioner Mouriquand suggested• a data base
needed to be created. Commission discussion followed
regarding the amount of shells collected and whether
representative samples should be kept. Mr. Hogan said the
protocol of shell collection followed the San Bernardino County
Museum's recommendations. Commissioner Mouriquand
suggested the staff could write to the Museum regarding the
significance of the shells and ask for their recommendations for
collection and storage of them.
6. Commissioner Puente asked if the City was going to build a
museum for items such as these shells. Commissioner
Mouriquand said they were eventually, but until there the pot
sherds and shells should not be disposed of, due to lack of
curation space. She was not recommending the City throw the
shells away.
7. Staff asked if the Commissioners would like to add that
recommendation to the motion. It might be prudent to make a
request then if we are not going to collect, hold, and store the
P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 3-17-05.doc 2
Historic Preservation Commission
March 17, 2005
shells per this recommendation; we would bring that back to
the Commission. Staff emphasized resources would not be
destroyed without the Commission's approval.
8. Commissioner Mouriquand said she was not discussing
destruction but better curation such as the museum where they
might be used for research. Staff replied they have contacted
the San Bernardino Museum and their conclusion was they
didn't want them. Staff said the major question is how imany of
these resources should be maintained. Staff suggested they
come back to the Commission, on a policy basis, for
concurrence before altering the reports or doing something with
present resources.
9. Commissioner Mouriquand commented she was not a
paleontologist, and did not want to influence the City's decision
on the disposition of cultural resources. Staff suggested the
Commission could ask CRM TECH's representative to write a
report on that issue. Commissioner Mouriquand agreed
suggesting the consultant ask Harry Quinn, their Paleontologist
for his input.
10. Michael Hogan commented he'd heard Mr. Quinn discussing this
matter in the context of subspecies. Commissioner Mouriquand
said a paleontologist's opinion would be invaluable regarding
whether the City should save these resources and how they
should be saved.
11. Chairman Wilbur added the recommendations needed to be from
someone who was qualified to determine retention or
destruction of resources. He commented the City Council
would not like to hear that the City got rid of all the fossil shells
without any consideration other than the knowledge of the
Commission and a few research firms.
12. Commissioner Mouriquand suggested the library, or new
museum, could have some sort of educational interpretive
exhibit and use them as display.
13. Staff summed up the Commission's suggestions as 1). Staff is
to contact the San Bernardino Museum regarding curation
guidelines; 2). The project consultant, or their Paleontologist,
r• 005
P:\CAROLVN\Hist Pre$ Com\HPC 3-17-05.doc 3
Historic Preservation Commission
March 17, 2005
shall respond to the curation questions in a brief, concise letter
report; and, 3). At the conclusion of those two tasks this item
will be returned to the Commission to establish a policy that is
City-wide. Changes should not be made project by project and
consultants that work in La Quinta should be advised if the City
is not going to collect and store these resources. Upon
completion of the City policy, consultants may then be able to
make a determination in the field, when they make their report,
as to whether or not the resources are significant. For purposes
of this report, the current recommendations will remain the
same.
14. Commissioner Mouriquand said the Commission has never had a
professional Paleontologist address, or educate them. It would
be nice to invite one sometime to educate the Commission on
the significance of these questions. Staff stated they would do
a little research on this.
15. It was moved and seconded by Commissioners Puente and
Mouriquand to adopt Minute Motion 2005-006 accepting the
results of the Paleontological Resources Assessment Report for
Monroe Dates with the following additions:
A. Staff is to contact the San Bernardino Museum for their
protocol on collection and storage of said fossil, or shell,
remains from various sites.
B. The CRM TECH project consultant (or Paleontologist) will
write a concise letter report on the issue of collection,
retention and curation of resources.
C. At the conclusion of items A and B, the information will
be returned to the Commission for purposes of
establishing a City-wide policy.
Unanimously approved.

Phase II Test of Site CA-RIV-7138/H:

Monroe Street)•
1. Community Development Director Doug Evans presented the
information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on
file in the Community Development Department.
2. Staff had some additional comments on the demolition of the
project buildings and the pool. The area had been annexed into
the City and was not part of any previous surveys. There was
no documentation for staff members to check prior to the
issuance of a demolition permit. Therefore, they did not ask
questions about the date of construction, or age of structures,
which would have triggered an inquiry. Staff has met with
various department staff members regarding procedures relative
to these types of resources. Staff is currently working with the
Building Director to find out the best training program for
interception of historic properties. Future surveys in areas
annexed would be included in the permitting system which
would help in locking up those particular sites. When a permit
is requested the system will not allow issuance, and that's the
best way to prevent demolition of the site. To the best of our
knowledge there were no known resources on the site relative
to significance of structures, but again once they're demolished
it's difficult to determine whether or not they were significant.
The City is very concerned about what occurred but is trying to
fix the problem so it does not happen in the future.
3. Commissioner Wright said the Commission had this same
problem a year ago on a property that was demolished. Staff
informed the Commission that no demolition permits were going
to be issued unless the Historic Preservation Commission was
informed of this. This does not appear to be the case. The
problem is the Commission was never aware of this report
which was done in July 2003. They didn't have the date of the
demolition and were unable to do any documentation prior to
destruction of the site. However, the Commission does need to
be assured that the permitting problem has been solved as
promised. No demolition permits were to be issued unless they
went through the Commission. One of the problems is that
there are current City of La Quinta properties and future -
annexation properties. The best way to handle the problem
007
P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 3-17-05.doc 5
Historic Preservation Commission
March 17, 2005
would be to have no demolition permits issued unless the
properties were at least surveyed by a staff member to
determine if there were any structures on the property. The
project would not have been stopped, but there should be an
opportunity to prepare a photographic journal of the structures
on the property before demolition. Projects would not be held
up because of this but the documentation would be done. The
structures may not have been historically significant, but they
needed to be in our Historical Survey photographically. If not,
then they are lost forever.
4. Commissioner Mouriquand said historically the Building
Department has issued demolition permits with the Commission
finding out after the fact. So this has been an ongoing problem.
She commented on some of her mother's memories of events at
the Roarke Ranch. She said it was a well-known local gathering
place and a cultural resource. It was strictly local people, and
of local significance.
5. Commissioner Wright agreed it was a real cultural resource in
the community and if the house was built in 1925, it would
have been about the period of time that our early history starts
architecturally, in this Valley. This concern was brought up
almost a year ago, and apparently there needs to tie better
communication with the building Department to let them know
that the Commission can take a more proactive stance if needed
to involve SHPO. He gave an example of the SilverRock project
and the proposed demolition of the Ahmanson Ranch building,
which is now the clubhouse. The demolition permits were in,
but the Commission invoked its rights, as a Certified Local
Government (CLG), and the City had the project reviewed by a
staff person. The project was then fully documented.
6. Commissioner Wright said this is a very sensitive issue and he
did not want to see another property demolished without a
photographic record, or the Commission and staff being aware
of it. There are very little cultural and historic architectural
resources left in this community and they all need to be
documented. It's just as important as the Paleontological and
Archaeological documentation.

7. Commissioner Mouriquand commented if the property had been
assessed it might have come back as having no significance.
However, this property would have provided information on
early settlement patterns and land uses and the information in
and of itself has value. Possibly demolitions should be made
subject to CEQA.
8. Staff suggested the Commission may not want to react with
the recommendation they review all demolition permits, because
of the number of very routine permits which could include the
demolition of an interior wall in a contemporary building. Staff
asked the Commission to allow them to work with the other
departments on a minimum of three items: 1)• Instituting a
"holds and notices" permit system for staff to see and report
back on when it's done; 2). The City will be educating
department staff, on a regular basis, to be inquisitive about
demolition permits; and 3). Staff will be instituting a system
that should avert as many potential problems until every
property in town is surveyed and all efforts have been
exhausted to try to identify resources. However, humans make
mistakes and something could occur that because of
withholding information at the counter, lack of familiarity with
the location, or any number of other circumstances, a permit
could get issued for something that may have a potential
historic element. Every reasonable measure will be utilized.
What occurred last year may have been due to the start-up of
the system and turnover in staff. It may not have been fully put
into place. A new permit feature has been added that allows us
to be a little bit tighter on how we set up the permit system.
Please allow staff a little time to work with Building & Safety
and we'll report back at the next meeting as to our program to
try to eliminate this to the greatest degree possible. If you've
ever worked a permit center there are a lot of different ways to
present something that something could have a problem, or
concern, and it is expressed to you as there nothing there and
the volume of work that we do you have to rely on people's
good faith efforts to be truthful and up front. And in everything
you do you expect our consultants to have good eyes, good
research abilities, analytical skills, and reporting techniques
because we can't be there for everybody, but we will make it
better than it is today.

9. Commissioner Wright asked if all the buildings on the historical
survey had already been included in the system. Are they red -
flagged so when someone comes in and asks for a demolition
permit and the people behind the counter can see these are
historical sites? Staff replied they had not had a chance to
inspect the system, yet, but would get an answer and advise
the Commission.
10. Commissioner Wright said it was extremely important 'that the
properties photographed and documented in the survey be
included.
11. Staff replied all of the information is not currently in the system,
but will be added in the fashion described. The system will
then stop all permits until somebody is forced to do the
research.
12. Chairman Wilbur asked if this was a software systern. Staff
replied yes, it's a Building Permit system that is usually
described as "holds and notices". The City can put a hold on a
permit because somebody hasn't paid a business license and
the system will then freeze up. It is a new system and staff is
still working to improve it. Meanwhile, the City does recognize
the Commission's concerns and staff will look into the matter
and report back with further information.
13. It was moved and seconded by Commissioners Wright and
Puente to adopt Minute Motion 2005-007 accepting the Phase I

2. Commissioner Puente commented on the difficulty in obtaining
responses from the Native American Commission.
3. Commissioner Wright stated we must continue to make the
effort, and it's up to the Agency to reply.
4. Commissioner Mouriquand added it is not incumbent upon the
applicant, or the consultant to insure they actually receive a
response, only that they submit a request for comments.
5. Commissioner Sharp had a question about location.
Commissioner Wright outlined the area involved.
6. Commissioner Puente asked if there was a question about
mitigation when this property was surveyed in 1991. She
asked if that was why the applicant recommended limited
archaeological monitoring. Mike Hogan (CRM TECH) replied
there were sites recorded that had been tested. One of the
sites was actually determined to be a historical resource and
mitigated the impacts for that site. There still might loe some
other resources there and monitoring is recommended.
7. Commissioner Mouriquand made an observation about the
property having a wind current that carries airborne or Aeolian
sand, over the mountains and deposits it right on the project
site. This development is going to be constantly fighting off the
sand that's trying to bury them. It's a wind pattern
phenomenon.
8. Staff replied the entire Coachella Valley has the same problem.
The mountains are trying to fall down and the Valley is filling
up. The full environmental assessment on this property has not
been completed yet.
9. Chairman Wilbur, Commissioners Sharp and Wright had no
comments.

VI. CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL:
VII. COMMISSIONER ITEMS:
A. Tribal Consultation Guidelines (Interim) for Senate Bill 18 - Guidelines
for consulting with various tribes.
1. Staff gave a brief update on how SB 18 affects future general
plan updates and planning guidelines. Staff asked the
Commissioners to let staff know if they have any thoughts or
ideas on this legislation and to be incorporated in the
comments. Staff said in the future we can expect more
legislation regarding cultural resources. Many Tribes are
becoming much more sophisticated in reviewing what's going
on with resources and developing an advocacy position. In the
Coachella Valley we are ahead of some areas. Tribes such as
the Agua Caliente are very active in reviewing cultural
resources.
2. Commissioner Mouriquand asked how many Specific Plans were
currently being processed because this applies to Specific Plans.
Staff replied a small amount and most of them were very minor
just a page or two. Commissioner Sharp asked if this
memorandum pertained to all the tribes in the state, from north
to south, not just the Coachella Valley. Staff replied yes.
B. April 101h Field Trip
1. Commissioner Mouriquand discussed some of the areas the
Commissioners would be visiting.
2. Chairman Wilbur confirmed the Commission would meet at City
Hall at 8:00 a.m., April 10, 2005.

4. Commissioner Mouriquand said she had prepared handouts and
would bring some artifacts, as well as some mesquite rookies
for the Commissioners' enjoyment.
5. Commissioner Sharp asked if the tour would last around two
hours. Commissioner Mouriquand replied it could be two hours.
Chairman Wilbur thought it would be over by 11:00 including
travel time. Commissioner Sharp asked if they could invite
outsiders. Staff replied it is a public meeting. There should be
discussion and agreement upon on how many people would
actually be invited. If anybody wanted to come they could. The
City is not obligated to provide transportation for the public.
6. Commissioner Mouriquand cautioned everyone to bring boots,
water, and wear common-sense hiking attire.
7. Chairman Wilbur thanked Commissioner Mouriquand for her
efforts on this tour. He expressed the Commission's
appreciation.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Sharp and Mouriquand to adjourn this Regular Meeting of the

FINAL PHASE II CULTURAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL TEST

NORTHWEST CORNER OF MADISON STREET AND
AVENUE 60
CHOICE ENTERPRISE.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL ADVISORY GROUP (JAMES BROCK,
PRINCIPAL)
On April 22, 2004 the Historic Preservation Commission accepted a Phase I Cultural
Resources Report for this 7.76-acre property (Attachment 11. That report found two
prehistoric sites, CA-RIV-7415 (Primary No. 33-13314) and CA-RIV-7416 (Primary No.
33-13316) during the field reconnaissance, along with three isolated pottery sherds.
CA-RIV-7415 consisted of four pottery sherds, a mano fragment, a metate fragment,
and a piece of thermally affected clay found on the ground surface. CA-RIV-7416
consisted of two deposits of thermally affected clay, 16+ sherds and scattered
fragments of thermally affected clay.
An interim Phase II (testing) Cultural Resources Assessment was accepted by the
Commission on May 20, 2004 documenting the complete results of the testing and
requiring the final report be submitted (Attachment 2). The final report has been
submitted as required (Attachment 3)•
DISCUSSION:
The Phase I report stated the two prehistoric sites are potentially resources that
required a Phase II testing programs to determine their significance. As noted in the
Phase II report, artifacts on the surface were collected at both sites. In addition,
several one -by -one meter units were excavated from 30 to 40 centimeters deep.
Additionally, posthole excavations in the original units were dug to at least 100
centimeters deep.
,.. 014
p[\stan\hpc\hpc rpt final ph 11 tt 32201.doc
At CA-RIV-7415, no prehistoric materials were recovered from the excavations. There
was some modern refuse found. At CA-RIV-7416 a single debitage fragment and a
pottery sherd was recovered in separate excavations.
The conclusion of the final Phase II report is that both prehistoric sites had very light
prehistoric use and, as such, can be considered insignificant under applicable criteria
and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. As noted in the; Phase
I staff report (Attachment 2) the area has a high sensitivity for prehistoric resources.
Therefore, monitoring of on- and off -site rough grading and major trenching is required
under the supervision of a Registered Professional Archaeologist, or equivalent. The
Torres -Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians have requested to participate in the monitoring
of the clearing and grading of the property due to the proximity of the site to their
current reservation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Minute Motion 2005- , accepting the Final Report on Phase 11
Archaeological Test Program for Tentative Tract No. 32201, as prepared by
Archaeological Advisory Group, subject to the following conditions:
1 . The site shall be monitored during on and off -site trenching and rough grading
by qualified archaeological monitors including a Torres -Martinez Desert Cahuilla
Indian monitor. Proof of retention of monitors shall be given to the Community
Development and Public Works Departments prior to issuance of the first earth -
moving or clearing permit.
2. The final report on the monitoring shall be submitted to the Community
Development Department prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of
Occupancy for the project.
3. Collected archaeological resources shall be properly packaged for long term
curation, in polyethylene self -seal bags, vials, or film cans as appropriate, all
within acid -free, standard size, comprehensively labeled archive boxes and
delivered to the City prior to issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for
the property. Materials shall be accompanied by a descriptive catalogue, field
notes and records, primary research data, and the original graphics.

2. Commissioner Sharp said he appreciated the fact the report
included acknowledgement of the Torres Martinez and
Augustine Tribes. He asked if the project was within their
territory or historical boundaries.
3. Chairperson Mouriquand replied the report recognized the
traditional tribal boundaries, but not the current reservation
boundaries. The new tribal policies were acknowledged in this
report including the inclusion of a Native American as part of
the monitoring crew.
4. Commissioner Wright recommended staff provide a reminder to
the Tribes when it is appropriate to monitor.
5. Chairperson Mouriquand added the need for a tribal
representative could be included in the Conditions of Approval
for a grading permit.
6. Applicant's representative, Dave Saccullo, 74-923 Highway
111, Suite 114, Indian Wells, California, was introduced and
gave an overview of how the project would be handled. He
asked if he could submit an interim Phase II report, at a later
date, to enable him to begin clearing and grubbing the property.
7. Commissioner Sharp asked at what point during the Phase II
report did Mr. Saccullo want to begin grubbing.
8. Chairperson Mouriquand replied they would have to complete
the Phase II work and present an interim letter report of the
findings before this could be considered. Mr. Saccullo replied
he would like to pursue this so he could go ahead with the
clearing and grubbing of the land.
9. Chairperson Mouriquand asked what staff's position was on
accepting interim reports. Staff replied this was not a standard
procedure. The applicant would have to provide adequate
information to justify the granting of a clearing and grubbing
permit. This type of request is usually done on a case -by -case
basis and is not commonly accepted. Staff added the Phase I
report makes it clear a Phase II is needed as well as monitoring
of the grading.

10. Commissioner Wright commented on the Rancho La Quinta
(Coral Option) clearing and grubbing permit process and
expressed his concern on the need for monitoring.
11. Mr. Saccullo explained his main concern was with removal of a
row of Tamarisks and he did not wish to move, or disturb, any
other areas during that procedure. He emphasized there would
be no rough grading.
12. Chairperson Mouriquand commented Tamarisks leave large
holes when removed. She suggested it would be a good) idea to
have a monitor to spot check the tree removal. It would be a
great opportunity to do some inspections. Mr. Saccullo agreed.
13. Commissioner Wright said it would be great to have a Native
American on -site in case any burial items were found.
14. Mr. Saccullo asked if there was anything he needed to do to
facilitate the Native American monitoring. Chairperson
Mouriquand replied he could check with his project
archaeologist who would coordinate with the Tribe's Cultural
Resource Representative (Gary Resvoloso).
15. Chairperson Mouriquand suggested the applicant have the Tribe
sign off on the interim report. Staff replied they would not
authorize grubbing if there was anything questionable in the
report. If there is nothing of substance, staff will then check
with any other parties involved.
16. Commissioner Wilbur said the report states very clearly, on
Page 16, what is possible. Staff acknowledged this was
correct.
17. Chairperson Mouriquand said the area surrounding this project
has had a lot of archaeological work recently and has proven to
be a hot spot for research. The research is helping to make
connections to the old Toro Village site and it is important to
continue monitoring.
18. Commissioner Puente mentioned Page 14 stated some of the
specimens were not collected and asked why.

19. Chairperson Mouriquand replied artifacts were usually left until
Phase II is completed unless they were in imminent danger.
Normally artifacts would be left until mitigation is completed.
The specimens will then be collected and a detailed map will be
done.
20. Mr. Saccullo commented he was documenting the progress of
the development through photos.
21. Commissioner Sharp asked how large the development was.
Mr. Saccullo replied it was a seven acre development, which
would include homes in the price range of $700,000 to
$1,000,000.
22. It was moved and seconded by Commissioners Wright and
Puente to adopt Minute Motion 2004-006 accepting the Phase
Cultural Resources Assessment for Tentative Tract Map 32201,
subject to conditions. Unanimously approved.

2. Commissioner Sharp asked if the tamarisks had been taken out.
The applicant's representative, Dave Saccullo, 74-923 Highway
1 1 1, Suite 114, Indian Wells, California, introduced himself and
replied the tamarisks had not been taken out. He had been
notified he needed a Paleontology Report which was currently
being done by Mike Hogan of CRM TECH, and should be
available by June 1, 2004. Mr. Saccullo asked if he had the
Paleontologist submit a letter verifying there have been no
relevant sites at this location could he go ahead with clearing
and grubbing. Staff indicated that the client's position as long
as the Paleontological Report and monitoring were done it
would be acceptable. They would need to check to make
certain that the person doing the monitoring was qualified.
Dave Saccullo said Mike Hogan's firm would be doing the
Archaeology and Paleontology monitoring.

4. Commissioner Wilbur asked what the protocol was for Interim
Phase II reports from staff's experience. Staff"replied they have
been submitted in the past and accepted. In this case, since
the results did not reveal artifacts they would be comfortable
accepting the Interim Report. If anything is found, or the status
changes, it would be brought back to the Commission.
5. Commissioner Sharp was concerned about what would be
found under the tamarisks, but was happy the project would be
monitored. Mr. Saccullo said they would have a monitor and
contact the proper tribal entities as necessary.
6. Chairperson Mouriquand had no further comments and agreed
with staff's recommendations.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
DATE: APRIL 21, 2005
ITEM: PALEONTOLOGICAL EVALUATION REPORT AND MITIGATION
PLAN FOR A 9.78 ACRE PARCEL
LOCATION: 80600 AVENUE 58, WEST OF MADISON STREET
APPLICANT: GLC/DUC LQ
CONSULTANT: COGSTONE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT INC. (FOR ECORP
CONSULTING, INC.)
BACKGROUND:
The study area is a 9.7 + acre parcel located on the north side of Avenue 58 west of
Madison Street. The property varies from 30-36 feet below sea level. The property is
mostly vacant with a residence which is to remain at the southeast corner of the site.
The City is currently processing an application to allow a single-family residential
development on a portion of the property, excluding the 1980's era single: -family
residence. A Paleontological Resources Assessment has been completed for the
property. The Assessment includes a record search and field survey of the property.
This Assessment will be part of the environmental review required by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the project application.
DISCUSSION:
A paleontological records search for the property was conducted at the San Bernardino
County Museum (SBCM) in Redlands and in published materials. The records search
indicated that no paleontological localities have been found on the property. The
closest localities found have been just outside a one -mile radius of the subject
property.
The field survey conducted by Cogstone Resource Management consisted of
systematically walking over the site at 1-2 meter intervals and visually observing the
site for fossils. The report notes that freshwater fossil mollusk shells of the Holocene
Lake Cahuilla beds were observed throughout the entire property.
The report concludes that freshwater fossil mollusk shells of the Holocene Lake
Cahuilla beds can be expected subsurface since they are on the :surface.
Recommended is subsurface sampling and locality documentation. This consists of a
323
P:\Reports - HPC\2005\4-21-05\rpt tt 33336 paleo duc.doc
minimum of two sample locations and testing and analysis of the removed soil.
Additionally, monitoring of all excavation below a depth of 10 feet is recommended to
mitigate the impact on early Holocene to (potentially) Pleistocene fossil vertebrates
that may be present on the property.
The Historic Preservation Commission has required monitoring of the entire site during
its rough grading as well as trenching, if the initial field survey found any fossil mollusk
shells on the surface.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Minute Motion 2005- , accepting the "Paleontological Evaluation Report
and Mitigation Plan for a 9.78 acre Parcel City of La Quinta, Riverside County,
California", as prepared and recommended by Cogstone Resource Management, Inc.
and subject to the following conditions:
On- and off -site monitoring of earth -moving and grading in areas identified as
likely to contain paleontological resources shall be conducted by a qualified
paleontological monitor. The monitor shall be equipped to salvage fossils as
they are unearthed to avoid construction delays and to remove samples of
sediments that are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates and
vertebrates. The monitor shall be empowered to temporarily halt or divert
equipment to allow removal of abundant or large specimens. Proof that a
monitor has been retained shall be given to City prior to issuance of the first
earth -moving permit, or before any clearing of the site is begun.
2. Recovered specimens shall be prepared to the point of identification and
permanent preservation, including washing of sediments to recover small
invertebrates and vertebrates.
3. A report of findings with an appended itemized inventory of specimens shall be
submitted to the City prior to.the first occupancy of a residence being granted
by the City. The report shall include pertinent discussions of the significance of
all recovered resources where appropriate. The report and inventory, when
submitted, will signify completion of the program to mitigate impacts to
paleontological resources.
4. Collected resources and related reports, etc. shall be given to the City for
curation. Packaging of resources, reports, etc. shall comply with standards
commonly used in the paleontological industry.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: APRIL 21, 2005
ITEM: PHASE I ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT
LOCATION: 80-600 AVENUE 58, WEST OF MADISON STREET
APPLICANT: GLC/DUC LQ
CONSULTANT: ECORP CONSULTING, INC.
BACKGROUND:
The study area is a 9.7+ acre parcel located on the north side of Avenue 58, west of
Madison Street. The property is mostly vacant with a residence at the southeast corner
of the site. The City is currently processing an application to allow a single-family
residential development on a portion of the property, excluding the 1 980's era, single-
family residence. A Phase I (survey level) Archaeological/Historical Resources
Assessment has been completed for the property. The Assessment includes a record
search and field reconnaissance of the property. This Assessment will be part of the
environmental review required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for
the project application.
DISCUSSION:
An archaeological and historic records search for the property was conducted at the
Eastern Information Center located at UC Riverside. The records search indicated the
study area has not been surveyed and no cultural resources had been recorded on the
site. Within one mile of the site, the records search showed 16 previous surveys,
resulting in 31 prehistoric sites, two historic -era sites and an isolated find.
The on -foot field survey was conducted by walking parallel north -south transects
spaced ten meters apart. The results of this survey were negative for prehistoric
resources. The remains of a more recent (1970's) foundation slab were found.
A request was made of the Native American Heritage Commission for a check of their
Sacred Lands file. Additionally, 11 letters requesting comments on the project were
sent to local Indian tribes. To date, responses have not been received from any of
these tribes.

P:\Reports - HPC\2005\4-21-05\rpt tt 33336 ph 1 archaeo duc.doc
The report concludes that since no "cultural resources" were encountered during the
course of the study, ECORP Consulting is not recommending monitoring during grading
and trenching operations. The HPC policy has been to require monitoring in this part
of the City regardless of whether artifacts were found.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Minute Motion 2005- , accepting the "Phase I Archaeological Survey
Report for a Property Located at 80600 Avenue 58 in the City of La Quinta, Riverside
County, California", as prepared and recommended by ECORP Consulting, Inc. and
subject to the following conditions:
A. The site shall be monitored during on- and off -site trenching and rough grading
by qualified archaeological monitors. Proof of retention of monitors shall be
given to the City prior to issuance of the first earth -moving or clearing permit.
B. The final report on the monitoring shall be submitted to the Community
Development Department prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of
Occupancy for the project.
C. Collected archaeological resources shall be properly packaged for long term
curation, in polyethylene self -seal bags, vials, or film cans as appropriate, all
within acid -free, standard size, comprehensively labeled archive boxes and
delivered to the City prior to issuance of first Certificate of Occupancy for the
property.
Materials shall be accompanied by descriptive catalogue, field notes and
records, primary research data, and the original graphics.
