RECEIPT OF PUBLIC COMMENTS and COMMITTEE REVIEW - BIXBY OLD RANCH TOWNE CENTER FINAL EIR, Section V-N, Cultural Resources Chairperson Johnston requested a Staff presentation. Mr. Whittenberg indicated the Committee discussed this item in relation to receiving comments on the Draft EIR at the May 6 meeting, which have been provided as an attachment to this staff report. The primary concern of the Committee was that there should a prepared work program as to how the site survey should be accomplished, and that program should be reviewed by the Committee prior to its approval. The Committee had requested staff to contact the archaeologists under contract with the City to determine if that work program could be prepared between the time of public comments on the Draft EIR and the time the matter reached the Planning Commission. Mr. Whittenberg indicated staff demands did not allow those contacts to be made. Staff is suggesting in the Staff Report, on page 9, that additional language be added to Mitigation Measure N-l to reflect the concern of the Committee. The underlined language reflects staff proposal to reflect the concern of the Committee, and hopes it reflects the intent of the Committee.. . 09-02-98 Minutes 4 .

Member Fitzpatrick indicated his concern was regarding the time element, he likes the proposed language. How can this proceed? He did not see that issue addressed. Mr. Whittenberg indicated the work would need to be done prior to any earth-moving activity on the site. The evaluations would need to be completed prior to any earth-moving activities being permitted on the site. In response to a question from Member Fitzpatrick, Mr. Whittenberg indicated that is the standard procedure followed by the City, further indicating he believes the process can be expedited as other matters are resolved regarding the Hellman project. In response to a question from Chairperson Johnston, Mr. Whittenberg indicated a "Research Design" was not required because there are no known cultural resource sites on the property. When there are no known sites, the standard policy of the City is to have on-site monitoring during grading activities. In this case, the desire of the Committee is to have some site survey and test work done on the "undisturbed" portions of the site prior to grading work, consisting of a walk-over survey and some test pit and shovel test probes, with a report to the Committee as to the results of those activities. The requested "work program" would come before this Committee for review and recommendation prior to approval by the City. In response to a question from Chairperson Johnston, Mr. Whittenberg indicated the areas in question are those area not previously disturbed by the construction of the golf course, primarily to vacant field and sod farm areas. Chairperson Johnston indicated she has reviewed the minutes from the previous Committee discussion regarding this matter.
