► To mitigate the loss,the entire corridor will be planted with numerous new trees, including several oak species and California pepper. These plantings will extend along the entire corridor of Grant Line Road between Mountain House Parkway and the County line. Trees will be planted throughout the median and on — both streetscapes on either side of the planned roadway widening. ► In addition to landscaping, entry monument portal structures,themed in the Civic Italianate architectural style, will be constructed on both ends of the Grant Line Road corridor within the community,per the current requirements of the Master Plan and Mountain House Community Services District(MHCSD)Design Manual, and these structures will contain commemorative plaques that mark the historic Lincoln Highway. In addition,pre-approved Lincoln Highway Association signs will be added along the corridor as additional markers to inform motorists,pedestrians, and bicyclists of the significance of this corridor(Trimark 2004). In response to the above proposals,the West Side Pioneer Association responded that all the conditions were mutually agreed upon(West Side Pioneer Association 2004). Therefore,provision of the above street tree and monumentation plan by Trimark would satisfy the Association's concerns with respect to removal of the mature trees along Grant Line Road, consistent with the MHMP design guidelines. Byron—Bethany Irrigation District Ditch (P-39-4271) — Peak and Associates (2001)conducted an intensive pedestrian survey of the Delta College property, in the southwest comer of the College Park site, and recorded a section of the Byron—Bethany Irrigation District(BBID) ditch system. Although not formally recorded,contiguous sections of this ditch occur in the southern portion of the project site. Although this feature retains its historical integrity, it is not necessarily associated with any particular significant individual or event in California history. As such, it is not considered eligible for listing on the CRHR(Peak and Associates 2001). Historic Artifact Scatter(CA-SJO-230H) The southernmost cultural resource documented as a result of the various field and documentary investigations that have taken place at the College Park site consists of a scatter of historic-era artifacts,possibly dating to as early as the latter decades of the 19th century(CA-SJo-230H).According to Baker and Shoup(1991),this property was owned by a Mr. E.S. Bonsall as early as 1870 until at least 1895, and by 1912 the property had passed into the ownership of a J.F. Faulkner(Baker and Shoup 1991).A residence is pictured on this property according to a 1916 U.S. Geological Survey(USGS)topographic quadrangle map and artifacts noted by Baker and Shoup(glass fragments,nails, ceramics, etc.)indicated occupation from the late 19th century into the early decades of the 20th century. It is not known when the residence was demolished but other than the documented artifacts,no trace of any structures remains today.Because of the lack of structures and lack of any notable historic associations with the property,the CA-SJo-230H site is not considered eligible for CRHR listing(Peak and Associates 2001). Residential Complex-16895 W. Grant Line Road (P-39-4371) The buildings on this property include a single-story residence, a detached garage, and a small shed.The residence, constructed in 1947, features a low-pitched, side-gable roof with composition tiles.The window treatments,a combination of fixed and double-hung sash, appear original.The wood-framed, detached garage sits around back of the house, a typical feature of the 1940s. This building displays a gable roof and shiplap siding.A small gable-roofed shed is located west of the residence. According to Dougherty(2003)the house was apparently moved to the site from the Alameda Naval Station sometime in the 1960s. The lack of detailing and compact form of the house points to a variation of the Minimal Traditional style,which was popular from just before World War H throughout the 1950s. Homes of this type were built in great numbers throughout the United States. The buildings located at 16895 Grant Line Road are in various states of disrepair, EDAW College Park at Mountain House Spec'rfic Plan III Draft EIR Cultural Resources 4.6-10 San Joaquin County
