Cultural Resources Report For CVWD's La Quinta Cove Refuse Removal Project— a request from the City of La Quinta to the Coachella Valley Water District for removal of certain refuse deposits from the property located south of the La Quinta Cove Area, approximately 0.7 miles southerly from the intersection of Calle Tecate and Avenida Ramirez. 1 Historic Preservation Commission February 17, 2011 Principal Planner Wallace Nesbit presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning Department. Vice Chairman Wilbur asked for Commissioner comments. Commissioner Redmon said, in the interest of full disclosure, she owned one of the older homes in the Cove, and a lot of this would be of interest to owners of the older Cove homes because of the date of the relics. She added that she also reviewed the report from the standpoint of the cost benefit analysis. She was concerned about the cost to save, or to document, these things versus the actual benefit to the City. She commented on her past experience with the possible types of relics gained from these, types of sites which are usually just basic merchandise. Vice Chairman Wilbur asked if she did not believe a qualified monitor needed to be there. Commissioner Redmon said she was very concerned about the cost to the City and the possibility the funds might be better spent elsewhere. Planning Manager Sawyer clarified the City would not be paying for the monitoring; CVWD would. Commissioner Puente asked who,would choose the historical monitor. Staff responded the applicant would suggest a possible monitor which would have to be approved by staff. Commissioner Puenteasked if the City would keep pieces that are recovered to be stored and displayed at the Museum. Staff responded standard archiving protocol would be followed. General discussion followed regarding what may or may not be found on the site and what had been identified nearby. Vice Chairman Wilbur was very interested in retaining the phrase "qualified monitor" in the conditions. Principal Planner Nesbit described the locations of the refuse piles and said he did not know if the Water District would do the project bit-by- 2 Historic Preservation Commission February 17, 2011 bit or in a wholesale operation which could require more than one person watching to see if there was anything that came up. Planning Manager Sawyer added this was not a standard grading project and, this was not a standard report recommendation either. He added that the phrasing of the recommendation allowed staff to have the flexibility to use common sense on the intensity of the monitoring project on a case -by -case basis; based on a sampling of the types of relics that came up; rather than just setting standard protocol. Vice Chairman Wilbur asked if the current wording allowed that flexibility. Planning Manager Sawyer responded it did, basically, but wording could be added stating "if and when, monitoring is required, the extent of monitoring would be determined by staff at that time". Commissioner Redmon suggested that addition would be needed. Planning Manager Sawyer said they could add it, or it could simply be interpreted that was the direction of the Commission. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Redmon/Puente to adopt Minute Motion 2011-002, recommending acceptance of the Cultural Resources Report for CVWD's La Quinta Cove Refuse Removal Project, as submitted. AYES: Commissioners Puente, Redmon, Sharp and Vice Chairman Wilbur. NOES: None. ABSENT: Chairman Wright. ABSTAIN: None. B. Tour of La Quinta Museum with Johanna Wickman, Museum Manager Planning Manager David Sawyer introduced Ms. Johanna Wickman, Museum Manager of the La Quinta Museum.

CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL: None VII. COMMISSIONER ITEMS: A. Commissioner Puente asked if there was any additional information on the Annual Preservation Conference.
