RE: TTM No. 36317@ La Sierra and Victoria, Riverside, Riverside Co., CA.
Mr. Patel:
At your request, I have reviewed my 2014 report for the property identified as TTM No. 36317, located at La Sierra and Victoria in the City of Riverside, Riverside County, CA.
When originally reported, this study was completed for ADKAN Engineering and both reviewed and edited for the final document of August 1, 2014. I understand you are the new owners of the property and the property boundaries have not changed and there have been no changes to the existing/reported improvements within the property boundaries. My research and reporting concluded there were no significant structures within the project area and no evidence of prehistoric or historic archaeological re sources. I did, however, conclude the property is sensitive for the presence of paleonto logical resources.
McKenna et al. did not recommend archaeological monitoring, but did recommend a paleontological monitoring program. Since there have been no changes to the property, McKenna feels the existing report is adequate and does not require any supplemental research or field investigations. With the implementation of the recommended paleonto logical monitoring, the property should be considered clear of any significant cultural re sources and any proposed demolition or redevelopment will not result in any adverse environmental impacts. The City should consider the report compliant and comfortable with the existing documentation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,

Re: Proposed La Sierra Residential Project, Riverside County
To Whom It May Concern:
A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) was completed for the information you have submitted for the above referenced project. The results were negative. However, the absence of specific site information in the SLF does not indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area. Other sources of cultural resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites.
Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources in the project area. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated; if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to ensure that the project information has been received.
If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify me. With your assistance, we can assure that our lists contain current information.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at my email address: [email protected].
Sincerely,
Andrew Green

Site 33-023901 was revisited during an intensive-level field survey on March 13, 2024, and was found to be largely in the same condition as originally recorded in 2014, although the orange grove and its trees appeared to show signs of neglect, while the modern features in the eastern portion of the site, such as the driveway and the sheds, had fallen into disrepair.
A notable discrepancy from the 2014 site record is the location of the master valve bearing the “SNOW MFG. CO., LA CAL” steel gate stamp. The site record indicates that it was found along Victoria Avenue , but the master valve encountered during the survey, which bears the same steel gate stamp and matches photographs in the 2014 documentation, is located in the eastern corner of the property, 110 feet southeast of the end of Millsweet Place and 630 feet southeast of Victoria Avenue. It is possible that a second master valve was once located along Victoria Avenue but has since been removed, but it seems unlikely.
The 2014 study found no evidence of any residential use of the property from historical maps or census data. Early aerial photographs of the property, however, demonstrate that what appear to have been a residence and an ancillary building were located near the western corner of the property in 1931 and 1938, although both were removed prior to 1948. No evidence of the buildings could be found at that location during the field survey.
