Mountain House Specific Plan III — ........................................................................................................................................................................... 7.4 Cultural Resources 7.4.1 Master Plan Summary Significant cultural resources and historic structures shall be identified and, where possible,preserved by — integrating into new development or relocation. When specific land use and development plans are formulated as part of a Specific Plan, additional archaeological surveys should be conducted in areas of development that have not been subjected to intensive archaeological reconnaissance. Each Specific Plan shall contain a determination by a qualified architectural historian as to whether any of the structures that are more than 50 years old would be affected by Specific Plan implementation. If Specific Plan implementation were determined to affect the structures,recommendations by the qualified — professional shall be implemented; such mitigation measures could consist of avoidance of impacts by incorporating the structure into planned developments,detailed architectural documentation and history, _ or removal of a structure to another location.Each Specific Plan(except SPI)shall map the location of all structures 50 years or older that have been determined by a historian to be of historic significance. 7.4.2 Specific Plan III Description Cultural resources within the Specific Plan III area include five historic and 23 potentially historic — resources. The five historic resources include a farm residence,dairy barn,the walnut trees along Grant Line Road (part of the original 1915 coast-to-coast Lincoln Highway),part of the Byron-Bethany — Irrigation District ditch,and some tum of the 19'b century artifact scatter. None of these historic resources qualify for the California Register of Historic Resources(CRHR). In addition, 23 structures have been identified in Grant Line Village that would be over 50 years old by project buildout in 2025. Additional research and CRHR eligibility evaluations will need to be conducted if and when development proposals are made that would affect these structures. 7.4.3 Implementation Measures — a. When specific land use and development plans are formulated as part of Specific Plan III, additional archaeological surveys shall be conducted in areas of development that have not been subjected to — intensive archaeological reconnaissance. b. A demolition permit,approved by the Building Division of the Community Development Department, shall be required prior to destruction of any building in excess of 50 years of age. c. If,during the course of construction, subsurface historic archaeological features,artifacts or evidence of materials such as bone, shell,or non-native stone are uncovered or identified on site,or anywhere within the Specific Plan III project site, work shall be immediately halted in the vicinity of the finding and a qualified archaeologist consulted for an on-site evaluation. Such evaluation may entail archaeological test excavation and/or mitigative data recovery. 7-20 Draft 03/14/05 ...........................................................................................................................................................................
