09/10/2012 Mitigation: MM CUL—2: The project applicant shall install screening vegetation along the project site's westerly property line that within 2 years will reach a minimum height of 16 feet and which shall be of a species type, as indicated in Figure 2.1-5 Preliminary Landscape Plan, that will completely block views of the entire project from the adjacent Finger Farm House year-round. Finding: Implementation of MM CUL—2 would further reduce indirect impacts to the adjacent Finger Farm House below a less than significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of MM CUL—2 would screen the new homes with vegetation planted along the property line so that the homes would not substantially contribute to the Finger Farm House setting as described in Section 2.1 —Cultural Resources of the Draft EIR on pages 32-49, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Impact: Impact CUL—4: Future development under the proposed project could result in the exposure or destruction of subsurface archaeological resources. Mitigation: MM CUL—4: A qualified professional shall prepare and implement a Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP)to ensure that the proposed project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource. The Plan shall include the following elements: • The project applicant shall identify a qualified archaeologist prior to any demolition, excavation, or construction. The City shall approve the selected archaeologist prior to issuance of the grading permit. The project archaeologist shall attend the pre-grading meeting to discuss how to recognize archaeological resources in the soil during grading activities. The prime construction contractor and any subcontractor(s)shall be cautioned on the legal and/or regulatory implications of knowingly destroying cultural resources or removing artifacts, human remains, and other cultural materials from the project site. • The archaeologist shall perform spot check monitoring during grading and subsurface construction and watch for and evaluate artifacts or resources that may be uncovered. The archaeologist shall also have the authority to tempararily halt excavation and construction activities in the immediate vicinity(within a 50-meter radius)of a find if significant or potentially significant cultural resources are exposed and/or adversely affected by construction operations. Reasonable time will be allowed for the qualified archaeologist to notify the proper authorities for a more detailed inspection and examination of the exposed cultural resources. During this time, excavation and construction would not be allowed in the immediate vicinity 7 RESO.#15217 MUFF#613
