TREE EVALUATION AND RECORDING METHODS

Site evaluations were made on November 15 & 18, 2017.The assessments included all protected trees, located within the dripline of the project limits. The trees were tagged with numbered metal tags. The health and structural condition of each tree was assessed and recorded. Based on the trees health and structural condition, each trees suitability for preservation was rated and recorded.

An additional site evaluation was made on 11/28/17. This site evaluation included David Zulim, project designer and Dean Bustichi project builder. Using the preliminary design plan sheet, the distance from individual subject trees to proposed new home locations was measured in the field, to help determine the anticipated construction impacts to each tree.

The recorded data is included in the Tree Assessment Chart, Appendix A, of this report. Tree numbers were plotted on the attached Tree Location Map. To correlate the data in the Tree Assessment Chart to the tree’s location on the site, refer to the Tree Location Map & Protection Plan, Sheet T-1.

Descriptions for tree assessment methodology used in the Tree Assessment Chart are included in the Appendix B, of this report.

Forty trees were evaluated, representing one species, Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia). All trees evaluated are “protected” under City of Scotts Valley ordinance.

SUMMARY TREE AND SITE DESCRIPTION
The proposed development site of approximately ¾ of an acre, is currently utilized as a parking lot. The gently sloped property, follows the grade of the adjacent Erba Lane and is predominately paved. On the northeast edge of the parcel, the soil is unpaved and contains an oak grove abutting a dry creek. The oak grove location parallels the dry creek as it runs west to east. This oak grove contains 38 of the 40 trees evaluated in this report.

Proposed development site looking east, with coast live oaks at edge of property.

Slightly more than half of the oak trees assessed, are located on the adjacent parcel, owned by the City of Scotts Valley. Since the canopies of these trees overhang the project site, they were also evaluated.

Three trees appear to straddle the property line between the subject property and City of Scotts Valley. If any are in fact, located on the property line, then these trees are owned by both parties.

Crowded growing conditions has created uneven canopy growth in many of the trees. The thirty- eight trees located in the grove appear to be naturally occurring natives. Two nursery grown oak trees, are planted in a landscape parking island at the southeast end of the property.

Most of the trees have trunks with lean, and the structural growth habit and canopy are oriented to the southwest, as they have grown to maximize light intake. These trees have unbalanced canopies, contributing to a south or west weight bias. (Images #1,2, & 3). 207

Preliminary Tree Inventory & Assessment
Housing Development
Erba Lane, Scotts Valley/ APN 022-081-34 & 35

Alternatively, several of the trees on the eastern end of the grove lean or grow to the southeast, to maximize light.

To remain stable, trees with lean and unbalanced canopies form reaction wood (stronger wood), which helps to support the additional mechanical stress.

Some trees in the grove have a more upright growth pattern creating good structure (Image #4).

The strong southwest growth habit (towards the new homes), of most trees, and the siting of the homes necessitates that clearance pruning will be required for many of the trees.

Slightly more than half of the trees are recommended for removal. Removal recommendations are based on the relative risk and /or suitability to continue to thrive for the long term in the development planned.

Of the 22 trees recommended for removal, many have severely compromised structures with limited canopy formation. These trees have a nearly horizontal trunk growth pattern, little to no secondary branching and a small canopy at the end of the trunk (Image #5). Trees T11,17,19,22,23,29,30,32 & 33 have poor structure meeting the above description and are recommended for removal.

A significant site development decision is for no machine grading to occur in the back yards of the homes, between the homes and trees. This will greatly reduce the impact to existing tree roots.

TREE PROTECTION ZONES

Data has been entered in the Tree Assessment Chart – Appendix A, which indicates the Tree Protection Zone for each tree.

To prevent inadvertent encroachment by heavy machinery, fencing should be installed either at the edge of the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ), the crown drip line (whichever is further from the trunk), or at the edge of the construction zone, if the construction zone protrudes into the TPZ.

The Project Arborist, should approve the location of the fencing. All fencing should be in place prior to any site grading.

Once the TPZ is delineated and fenced (prior to site work and equipment/materials move in), any construction activities or landscape construction, are only to be permitted within the TPZ if allowed for and specified by the project arborist. The fenced TPZ areas are considered "nonintrusion zones" and should not be altered or breached.

Tree Protection Zone fencing locations are documented on the attached map: (Tree Location Map & Protection Plan).

TREE PROTECTION GUIDELINES AND RESTRICTIONS
The following restrictions and guidelines apply to the designated tree protection zones:
(1) Before the start of site work, equipment or materials move in, clearing, excavation, construction, or other work on the site, every tree to be retained shall be securely fenced- off as delineated in approved plans. Such fences shall remain continuously in place for the duration of the work undertaken in connection with the development. 2) If the proposed development, including any site work, will encroach upon the tree protection zone, special measures shall be utilized, as approved by the project arborist, to allow the roots to obtain necessary oxygen, water, and nutrients. (3) Underground trenching shall avoid the major support and absorbing tree roots of protected trees. If avoidance is impractical, hand excavation undertaken under the supervision of the project arborist may be required. Trenches shall be consolidated to service as many units as possible. Boring/tunneling under roots should be considered as an alternative to trenching.
(4) Concrete or asphalt paving shall not be placed over the root zones of protected trees, unless otherwise permitted by the project arborist. (5) Artificial irrigation shall not occur within the root zone of native oaks, unless deemed appropriate on a temporary basis by the project arborist to improve tree vigor or mitigate root loss.
(6) Compaction of the soil within the tree protection zone shall be avoided. (7) Any excavation, cutting, or filling of the existing ground surface within the tree protection zone shall be minimized and subject to such conditions as the project arborist may impose. Retaining walls shall likewise be designed, sited, and constructed to minimize their impact on protected trees.
209

Preliminary Tree Inventory & Assessment
Housing Development
Erba Lane, Scotts Valley/ APN 022-081-34 & 35

(8) Burning or use of equipment with an open flame near or within the tree protection zone shall be avoided. All brush, earth, and other debris shall be removed in a manner that prevents injury to the tree.
(9) Oil, gas, chemicals, paints, cement, stucco or other substances that may be harmful to trees shall not be stored or dumped within the tree protection zone of any protected tree, or at any other location on the site from which such substances might enter the tree protection zone of a protected tree.
(10) Construction materials shall not be stored within the tree protection zone of a protected tree.

PROJECT ARBORIST DUTIES & INSPECTION SCHEDULE
Supervision of site: Prior to equipment and materials move in, site work, demolition and landscape construction:
(1) The project arborist shall meet with the tree removal company to verify trees to be removed. (2) The project arborist shall meet with the tree pruning company and supervise the clearance pruning performed on each tree so designated.

Inspection of site: Prior to equipment and materials move in, site work, demolition, landscape construction and tree removal: The project arborist will meet with the general contractor, architect / engineer, and owner or their representative to review tree preservation measures, designate tree removals, delineate the location of tree protection fencing, specify equipment access routes and materials storage areas, review the existing condition of trees and provide any necessary recommendations.

Inspection of site: After installation of TPZ fencing: Inspect site for the adequate installation of tree preservation measures. Review any requests by contractor for access, soil disturbance or excavation areas within root zones of protected trees. Assess any changes in the health of trees since last inspection.

Inspection of site: During excavation or any activities that could affect trees: Inspect site during any activity within the Tree Protection Zones of preserved trees and any recommendations implemented. Assess any changes in the health of trees since last inspection.

Final Inspection of Site: Inspection of site following completion of construction. Inspect for tree health and make any necessary recommendations.

TREE WORK STANDARDS AND QUALIFICATIONS
All tree work, removal, pruning, planting, shall be performed using industry standards of workmanship as established in the Best Management Practices of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI A 300 series), and safety (ANSI Z133.1).

Contractor licensing and insurance coverage shall be verified.

During tree removal and clearance, sections of the Tree Protection Fencing may need to be temporarily dismantled to complete removal and pruning specifications. After each section is completed, the fencing is to be re-installed.

Trees requiring removal are listed in the attached Tree Assessment Chart – Appendix A Trees to be removed shall be cut into smaller manageable pieces consistent with safe arboricultural practices, and carefully removed so as not to damage any surrounding trees or structures. The trees shall be cut down as close to grade as possible. Tree removal is to be performed by a qualified contractor with valid City Business/State Licenses and General Liability and Workman’s compensation insurance.

TREE REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

The removal of trees can be offset by replacement planting.

The number and species of replacement trees or shrubs shall be determined by the City of Scotts Valley Community Development Director. Typical replacement ratios are one 15-gallon tree planted for every tree removed. They should be placed in areas where ample light for establishment can be found and where they do not present safety concerns.

Below is a summary of total trees removed, retained and proposed for replanting.

Total Protected Trees Removed: 22
Total Protected Trees Retained: 17
Total Protected Trees Removal or Retain T.B.D. 1
Total Trees To be Replanted: 22
The proposed replanting ratio is one tree replanted for every tree removed. There is ample space to plant 22 new, small to medium sized trees on the proposed 12 residential lots.

APPENDIX B – CRITERIA FOR TREE ASSESSMENT CHART
Following is an explanation of the data used in the tree evaluations. The data is incorporated in the Tree Assessment Chart, Appendix A.

Trunk Diameter and Number of Trunks:

Trunk diameter as measured at 4.5 feet above grade. The number of trunks refers to a single or multiple trunked tree. Multiple trunks are measured at 4.5 feet above grade.

Health Ratings:

Good: A healthy, vigorous tree, reasonably free of signs and symptoms of disease Fair: Moderate vigor, moderate twig and small branch dieback, crown may be thinning and leaf color may be poor
Poor: Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk, most of foliage from epicormics
Structure Ratings:

Good: No significant structural defects. Growth habit and form typical of the species Fair: Moderate structural defects that might be mitigated with regular care Poor: Extensive structural defects that cannot be abated.

Suitability for Preservation Ratings:

Rating factors:

Tree Health: Healthy vigorous trees are more tolerant of construction impacts such as root loss, grading and soil compaction, then are less vigorous specimens.

Structural integrity: Preserved trees should be structurally sound and absent of defects or have defects that can be effectively reduced, especially near structures or high use areas.

Tree Age: Over mature trees have a reduced ability to tolerate construction impacts, generate new tissue and adjust to an altered environment. Young to maturing specimens are better able to respond to change.
220

Species response: There is a wide variation in the tolerance of individual tree species to construction impacts.

Rating Scale:

Good: Trees in good health and structural condition with potential for longevity on the site Fair: Trees in fair health and/or with structural defects that may be reduced with treatment procedures.

Poor: Trees in poor health and/or with poor structure that cannot be effectively abated with treatment. Trees can be expected to decline or fail regardless of construction impacts or management
Construction Impacts:

Rating Scale:

High: Development elements proposed that are located within the Tree Protection Zone that would severely impact the health and/or stability of the tree. These elements cannot be mitigated without design changes.

Moderate: Development elements proposed that are located within the Tree Protection Zone that will impact the health and/or stability of the tree and can be mitigated with tree protection treatments.

Low: Development elements proposed that are located within or near the Tree Protection Zone that will impact the health of the tree and can be mitigated with tree protection treatments
None: Development elements will have no impact on the health and stability of the Tree.

Tree Protection Zone (TPZ):

Defined area within which certain activities are prohibited or restricted to prevent or minimize potential injury to designated trees, particularly during construction or development. 221

CONSULTING ARBORIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education. Knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce risk of living near trees, Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to seek additional advice.

Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree.

Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like medicine, cannot be guaranteed.

Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees. 229

Preliminary Tree Inventory & Assessment
Erba Lane Housing Development
Erba Lane, Scotts Valley/ APN 022-081-34 & 35
Revisions
A revised grading exhibit (see attached Grading Exhibit by Bowman & Williams, dated 3/13/2020), has been completed for the housing project at Erba Lane. The impacts to the existing trees have been reevaluated based on the revised exhibit and site plan.

A biotic assessment has been completed and the recommendation is to retain all coast live oaks within the riparian area.

All coast live oaks are to be retained regardless of condition, unless impacts will significantly affect the trees condition. Note that trees recommended for removal due to condition in the Tree Assessment Chart, arborist report dated 11/30/2020, will be retained.

As noted in the arborist report, some trees will require targeted clearance pruning. The degree of pruning required will be reduced based on the new grading exhibit and will primarily involve attaining clearance for grading equipment. Two trees T29 and T30 with horizontal trunks and limited canopies may require hand grading instead of mechanical grading near them, as clearance pruning may not be feasible.

Except for two trees adjacent to the new Lot 6, the revised construction impacts to the trees in the riparian area, will be slightly reduced. Most of the homes will be built further from the trees than in the initial site plan, and therefore less of the trees rooting area will be lost. Canopy losses will also be reduced as less clearance pruning from the new homes will be necessary, which allows the trees to retain more stored energy.

Two coast live oak trees, T5 and T18 that were recommended for removal, are now recommended for retention, due to reduced impacts, including reduced root loss and canopy loss.

One tree T27, coast live oak, who’s status (remove or retain), was to be determined after field staking for grading, is now recommend for retention, as it is further from the grading limits.

Two coast live oak trees, T35 and T38, that were recommended for retention, will have increased impacts. However, if mitigation measures are implemented and depending on field staking locations, it may be possible to retain one or both trees.

One coast live oak tree T40, previously recommend for retention will require removal due to revised construction impacts. The tree is located in a parking lot island, outside of the riparian area.

Future growing conditions for most of the coast live oaks will also slightly improve, as more soil area will be retained allowing for a larger rooting area. An increased soil area also means more water will be available to the trees.

The anticipated impacts to the above trees T5,T18,T27,T35, T38 & T40 have been updated in the Tree Assessment Chart, Appendix A, and are included in the revised report. 231

Erba Lane, Scotts Valley/ APN 022-081-34 & 35
Tree Replacement
Two protected trees T39 and T40, located in a parking island and outside the riparian area will require removal. If after field staking, it is determined that either tree T35 and/or tree T38 require removal, replacement trees as mitigation will be required. The City of Scotts Valley recommends a minimum ratio of two trees are to be replanted (15 gallon or 24-inch box size), for every “protected” tree removed. Therefore, between four and eight replacement trees will be required. Recommended replacement locations are included on the attached grading exhibit.

Recommendations

1. After grading stakes are placed, the project arborist, the grading equipment operator and the tree service company should meet to review the extent of pruning required to achieve clearance from grading equipment operations.

2. Plant four 15-gallon, coast live oak replacement trees as mitigation for the removal of coast live oak trees, T39 and T40, in the locations recommend on the attached grading exhibit.

3. If either tree T35 or T38 requires removal, plant two 15-gallon coast live oak, for each tree removed, in the locations identified on the attached grading exhibit.

Once final plan sets are completed, a tree protection plan, containing tree protection specifications, will be required.

Any questions regarding these revisions can be directed to my office.

Extended Phase I Archaeological Assessment for the Erba Lane Development Project, Scotts Valley, California ALBION SV Housing, LLC March 2020 | i
Execu�ve Summary
In October 2019, SV Housing, LLC contracted with Albion Environmental, Inc. (Albion), to conduct a cultural resources assessment of an approximately 1.04-acre site consis�ng of two parcels (APNs 022-481-18 and 22) on Erba Lane in the RH High-Density Residen�al Zone for residen�al land use in Scots Valley, California. The property owner plans to create of twelve lots and two common lots for six single-family homes and three duplex units (Project). Albion’s inves�ga�on included a background records search at the California Historical Resources Informa�on System Northwest Informa�on Center at Sonoma State University (NWIC), a field inves�ga�on entailing pedestrian survey, limited subsurface inves�ga�on of the parcel, and Na�ve American outreach. The study was designed to adequately address treatment of cultural resources under current guidelines outlined by Assembly Bill 52 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

A search of records at NWIC indicated that five archaeological studies have been conducted within the Project Area and 20 studies were conducted within a 1 /8-mile radius of the Project Area. One
archaeological resource has been previously iden�fied within the Project Area and two resources have been recorded within a 1
/4–mile radius of the Project Area.

A�er reviewing the record search results, Albion conducted an intensive pedestrian survey and limited trenching and augering of the Project Area. Visual inspec�on of the Project Area surface and small-scale subsurface excava�ons revealed no evidence of intact prehistoric or historic-era archaeological deposits.

Soils encountered were redeposited fill over five na�ve soil strata with no evidence of culturally produced stra�graphy. Seven mechanically excavated trenches and three hand-excavated augers were used to expose subsurface soils. Thirteen Trench Samples (TS) and three augers recovered

3.7018 m3 of soil for inspec�on. The sample included 1.3828 m3 of fill soils characterized by differing soil types mixed with modern materials such as concrete and pavement. The remaining 2.319 m3 appeared as intact na�ve soil. The sampled soils produced cultural material, consis�ng of 9 pieces of flaked stone and two groundstone implements. At least two flaked stone pieces were recovered from the redeposited fill sugges�ng at least some mechanical disturbance of na�ve soil occurred on the parcel. The two groundstone implements and the addi�onal seven flaked stone debitage pieces recovered from na�ve soils, are likely in-situ. However, the sparse nature of the deposit (3.9 ar�fact per m3
), paucity of ar�fact types, and no chronological markers or organic cultural materials for radiocarbon da�ng limits the ability for any archaeological interpreta�ons. This limited and narrow assemblage, which cannot be placed within the regional da�ng scheme, does not allow for significant data poten�al and is therefore not significant under CEQA guidelines.

Albion’s inves�ga�on at APNs 022-481-18 and 22 on Erba Lane in Scots Valley indicates that poten�ally significant cultural materials are not located in the Project Area. Due to the proximity of archaeological site SCR-177/H, we recommend archaeological and Na�ve American monitoring during all future ground-disturbing ac�vity.

Extended Phase I Archaeological Assessment for the Erba Lane Development Project, Scotts Valley, California ALBION SV Housing, LLC March 2020 | 1
Introduc�on
This report documents the results of a cultural resource assessment of an approximately 1.04-acre site consis�ng of two parcels (APNs 022-481-18 and 22) on Erba Lane in the RH High-Density Residen�al Zone for residen�al land use in Scots Valley, California. The property owner plans to create of twelve lots and two common lots for six single-family homes and three duplex units (Project).

Since the property is in an area designated as “archaeologically sensi�ve” the City of Scots Valley, Albion was contracted to conduct a cultural resource assessment. The inves�ga�on comprised four tasks: 1) a review of records from the Northwest Informa�on Center of the Historical Resources Informa�on System at Sonoma State University (NWIC); 2) a surface survey of the parcel; 3) limited subsurface excava�on; and 4) Na�ve American outreach.

The study was designed to adequately address treatment of cultural resources under current guidelines outlined by Assembly Bill 52 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This included: 1) iden�fica�on of significant resources; 2) determina�on of significant impacts to resources; and 3) development of any necessary mi�ga�on measures. All work was conducted in accordance with guidelines and regula�ons set forth in the CEQA.

The records search was requested by Albion Senior Archaeologist Stella D’Oro in October 2019 (NWIC File No.: 19-0713). The subsequent pedestrian survey and subsurface tes�ng was conducted January 13-15, 2020 with a crew led by John Ellison. Mr. Ellison earned an BA in Anthropology and has worked in California archaeology for fourteen years. Kanyon Consul�ng monitors (Kanyon Sayers-Roods and Scot Territo represen�ng the Indian Canyon Mutsun Band of Costanoan were present during all surveying and subsurface tes�ng. The field work was supervised by Ms. D’Oro who holds an MA in Applied Anthropology and has been working in California archaeology for fi�een years.

Project Loca�on and Descrip�on
The subject parcels are located on the northeast side of Erba Lane approximately 70 � (22 m) southeast of the intersec�on of Erba Lane and Ridgecrest Lane and approximately 495 � (150 m) northwest of the intersec�on of Erba Lane and Scots Valley Drive in Scots Valley, California (Figure 1). The parcel ranges from approximately 578 feet above sea level (ASL) in the east to 600 � ASL in the west. An unnamed drainage borders the Project Area on its eastern side; Carbonera Creek is approximately 902 � (275 m) southeast of the Project Area.

The Project applicant plans to create of twelve lots and two common lots for six single-family homes and three duplex units (Project). Impacts include the following (Figure 2):
 Retaining wall: depth depends on the type of wall. A soldier pile wall with pier would be up to 10–12 � depth with an 18 in. diameter hole. A can�lever wall with wide foo�ng would be approximately 4 � deep.
 Collector pipe for drainage system will be approximately 3 � deep  Storm drain chambers will be approximately 6.5 � deep  Overflow for storm drain reten�on system will be 3–4 � deep  Sewer laterals will be 4 � deep
 The en�re Project Area will be graded to a depth of 4 � below the exis�ng grade 2 255

ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES

WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA
NWIC reports one archaeological resource within the Project Area, CA-SCR-177/H (Appendix A).

CA-SCR-177/H
Archaeological resource CA-SCR-177/H includes both historic and precolonial components. Both components are discussed below.

Historic Component
CA-SCR-177/H includes the loca�on of the Scot House, which was constructed as a residence for Hiram Scot and his family in 1858. The house is significant for its architecture (Greek Revival) and historical importance to the region. Mr. Scot was one of the original setlers in the area and is the person a�er whom Scots Valley is named. The house is listed in the Na�onal Register of Historic Places. The boundaries of CA-SCR-177/H include the house and its parcel despite the fact that it was moved to its present loca�on in 1936 due to the construc�on of Highway 17. The original loca�on of the Scot House is not included within the current boundaries of CA-SCR-177/H.

Precolonial Component
The precolonial component of CA-SCR-177/H was originally recorded as a lithic scater (Cooper 1979).

In 1980, Dr. Robert Car�er conducted an archaeological evalua�on for the proposed construc�on of a City Hall for Scots Valley (Car�er 1980). Radiocarbon assays from the ini�al study returned dates of 7,000-10,000 years before present (BP), very early for this region and for California as a whole.

Past ac�ons to the site resulted in lawsuits that were setled out of court in October 1982 (Car�er 1993). The setlement required the City of Scots Valley to fund two large data recovery efforts in 1983 and 1987. The data recovery sampled over 400 cubic meters of cultural soils along the northeast por�on of the CA-SCR-177, and over 40 cubic meters from the southcentral area.

Very few sites da�ng from before 10,000 BP have been inves�gated; some researchers have suggested that earliest Californians established residences along estuaries and bay shores. The 260

Extended Phase I Archaeological Assessment for the Erba Lane Development Project, Scotts Valley, California ALBION SV Housing, LLC March 2020 | 9
Scots Valley site (CA-SCR-177) is one of the few inland sites in the region with such early dates.

Car�er’s (1993:271-273) report on the data recovery suggests the earliest cultural stratum of CA-SCR177 dates to at least 10,500 BP. Since the soils are too acidic for bone or shell preserva�on, dates were extrapolated from radiocarbon da�ng charcoal in column samples, obsidian hydra�on, and diagnos�c ar�facts including an eccentric crescent, small leaf-shaped and medium lanceolate projec�le points, knives, and hammer stones.

More recently, Jones et. al (Jones and Klar 2007) suggests that there are numerous issues compromising interpreta�ons of the site’s stra�graphic integrity and da�ng. The excava�on unit used for radiocarbon da�ng during the 1987 data recovery produced dates from every millennium from 13,000 BP to present, although not in stra�graphic order. In 1987, radiocarbon studies required large amounts of charcoal. It was a common prac�ce to use column samples, which included many pieces of charcoal producing an average date likely from many burn events. Addi�onally, the charcoal may or may not be cultural in origin as natural forest fires are common in the region.

Currently, much smaller carbon (bone, shell, charcoal) samples are necessary to return accurate dates. Carbon samples are ideally taken from known cultural phenomena, such as transported shell, cut/cooked faunal bone, or discrete archaeological features such as hearths or human burials. Jones et al (2007:135) acknowledges the radiocarbon dates from two intact hearth features place the earliest well dated occupa�on of the site into the Millingstone Period at 8,000 BP, s�ll of remarkable an�quity.

WITHIN ¼-MILE OF THE PROJECT AREA
Two resources have been recorded within a 1/4-mile radius of the Project Area. Both are precolonial archaeological sites and decribed below.

P-44-000039 is a granite outcropping of four bedrock mortars. The property owner has collected many ar�facts near the outcropping including pestles, a projec�le point, and flakes made of basalt, chert, and quartzite (Buckman and Stafford 1974). The resource is located 1,202 � (366 m) southeast of the Project Area.

P-44-000251 is a diffuse lithic scater with a large amount of fire-affected rock, quartzite, Monterey Banded chert, obsidian, basalt, and chalcedony. Prior radiocarbon da�ng yielded a date of 12,965 BP, making the site one of the earliest in the region (Archaeological Resource Management 2003). The resource is located 541 � (165 m) southeast of the Project Area.

Na�ve American Outreach
Albion ini�ated Na�ve American outreach to solicit informa�on about poten�al Tribal resources in or near the Project Area and the treatment of those resources. Resources of interest might include archaeological deposits, tradi�onally important plants, or locales that have been or are currently used for Tribal ac�vi�es.

As part of this outreach process, Albion contacted the California Na�ve American Heritage Commission in December 2019 for informa�on from the Commission’s Sacred Lands File and a list of stakeholders (Appendix B). The Commission found no informa�on in their files and forwarded the names of six tribal representa�ves. Albion contacted each of these by leter, describing the project and asking for informa�on or comments. Albion followed the leters with emails and phone calls to every tribal stakeholder listed on the NAHC list. Two tribal representa�ves provided a response and shared the importance of the cultural resources within the Project area, as well as their concern for any impacts to these resources.

No addi�onal comments or concerns have been received as of March 4, 2020. Addi�onal details can be found in confiden�al Appendix B.

Background

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
The parcel ranges from approximately 578 � ASL in the east to 600 � ASL in the west. An unnamed drainage borders the Project Area on its eastern side; Carbonera Creek is approximately 902 � (275 m) southeast of the Project Area.

The soils in the area are characterized as Soquel loam (USDA 2019). The Soquel loam series consists of deep, moderately well drained soils that formed in alluvium derived from sedimentary rocks.

Soquel soils are in narrow valleys and on alluvial fans and plains and have slopes of 0 to 15 percent.

The A horizon is very dark gray, very dark grayish brown, dark gray, dark grayish brown, dark brown, or grayish brown. It is heavy sandy loam, loam, silt loam, clay loam, or silty clay loam and extends from the surface to approximately 21 inches deep. Some pedons have a horizon designated as a B horizon with color of light yellowish brown or very pale brown. Texture is heavy sandy loam, loam, silt loam, clay loam, or silty clay loam. The C horizon is dark brown, dark grayish brown, dark yellowish brown, brown or yellowish brown. It is loam, silt loam, or silty clay loam. In some pedons are narrow lenses of sandy loam, loamy sand, or sand with 0 to 25 percent pebbles by volume

CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
Prehistory of the southern San Francisco Bay area is complex due to the drama�c increase in human popula�ons from middle to late Holocene �mes (Milliken et al. 2007). Cultural chronology is quite variable spa�ally but is generally framed within a tripar�te sequence that is commonly used in central California– Early, Middle, and Late (Hylkema 2002; Milliken et al. 2007). These temporal periods are preceded by early to middle Holocene occupa�on, o�en characterized as the Millingstone era (Hylkema 2002; Milliken et al. 2007).

The Millingstone Period (9000–5500 years Before Present (Ingram et al.)) is characterized by small groups who travelled widely and prac�ced broad spectrum foraging of easily acquired plant and animal resources. Ar�facts common to this �me period are handstones and millingstones. Flaked stone implements, such as projec�le points, are much less common than grinding and batering tools (Fitzgerald 2000). Common foods are thought to have included a variety of small seeds, shellfish, and small mammals.

The Early Period ranges from approximately 5500 to 2500 B.P. and encompasses an era where people are thought to s�ll have prac�ced wide ranging residen�al mobility but placed a greater emphasis on hun�ng larger game. Large pinnipeds, such as northern fur seal, are common to coastal archaeological sites during this �me. Several styles of large projec�le points correspond to this general �me frame, which also marks the ini�al use of mortar and pestle technology. 5 264

Extended Phase I Archaeological Assessment for the Erba Lane Development Project, Scotts Valley, California ALBION SV Housing, LLC March 2020 | 13
The Middle Period dates from 2500–1000 B.P. and appears to represent a �me when people were somewhat more residen�ally stable and prac�ced more logis�cal (short term) mobility (Milliken et al. 2007:106). By this �me, people apparently went on extended resource acquisi�on forays for the purpose of bringing subsistence or trade items back to residen�al base camps. Large, terrestrial mammals were hunted more o�en during this �me and grinding implements become more common (Milliken et al. 2007:107).

The Late Period begins at 1000 B.P. and extends to ca. 1550 B.P. (Hylkema 2002:33), or perhaps more recently. The Late Period is characterized by increased sociopoli�cal complexity and setlement centraliza�on. Large village sites in the northern Santa Clara Valley are o�en found in the valley center along perennial streams (Bergthold 1982; Milliken et al. 2007). There is con�nued prevalence of mortar and pestle technology, thought to signify a greater reliance on acorn than in earlier �mes. Other labor-intensive foods were also used with greater frequency during this latest �me period (Hylkema 2002). For example, sea oter and harbor seal were exploited more heavily.

These animals are thought to be more labor-intensive to capture compared to other pinnipeds and large mammals, which were more commonly hunted in earlier �me. Bow and arrow technology is also believed to have been adopted by aboriginal hunters during this latest prehistoric interval (Milliken et al. 2007:117).

ETHNOGRAPHIC BACKGROUND
The Project Area was inhabited by Ohlone, or Costanoan popula�ons (Levy 1978; Milliken et al. 2007). When first encountered by Spanish explorers, aboriginal inhabitants of the Bay Area and vicinity were referred to as Costaños (Levy 1978). The people came to be known as Costanoans (cf.

Levy 1978), although now, the descendants of those earlier inhabitants prefer to be referred to as Ohlone (Bean 1994). Both terms refer to the language group spoken by the people, rather than any sort of poli�cal group. The Ohlone inhabited the San Francisco Peninsula, the East Bay to the Delta, and south past Santa Clara Valley to the coast of the Monterey Bay.

At Spanish contact, aboriginal groups residing in the southern Bay Area were organized under a tribelet system where villages, thought to number around 50, were autonomous poli�cal units (Levy 1978). The Ohlone exploited all of the regional habitats including bay marshes, valley grasslands, mountainous uplands and open coastal environs. Resources exploited included elk, pronghorn, deer, sea mammals, salmon, trout, shellfish, ducks, geese, acorns, seeds, grasses, and roots (Baumhoff 1963).

HISTORICAL CONTEXT

MISSION PERIOD
The Santa Cruz Mission
In Santa Cruz, the Mission period (1776-1834) saw the disrup�on of tradi�onal Ohlone culture and lifeways. La Misión de la Exaltación de la Santa Cruz was founded in 1791. As the Ohlone were gradually brought into the mission system and placed under the protec�on and tutelage of the Mission fathers, they lost much of their erstwhile autonomous existence and tradi�onal lifeways.

Compounding the difficul�es and disrup�on to tradi�onal life, the Mission fathers inducted 265

Extended Phase I Archaeological Assessment for the Erba Lane Development Project, Scotts Valley, California ALBION SV Housing, LLC March 2020 | 14
members of distant and dis�nct tribes into the Mission neophyte popula�on. In Santa Cruz, Costanoan peoples were joined by Northern Valley Yokuts, conscripted from the San Joaquin Valley, as the local Indian workforce succumbed to diseases and hardships ubiquitous to the Spanish and Mexican missions.

A second early European community established during the Mission era in the vicinity of presentday Santa Cruz was Villa de Branciforte. The Villa was established in 1797 and was one of the three original Spanish communi�es established in Alta California. The community comprised both ac�ve and re�red Spanish soldiers, as well as civilians, with the inten�on of occupying the land and hence deterring incursions from other na�onali�es such as Russians and the Bri�sh. The main thoroughfare for the community was Branciforte Avenue.

MEXICAN PERIOD
In 1834, under the new Mexican government, seculariza�on of the mission lands began in earnest.

Most of the former mission land was divided among loyal Mexican subjects, though some indigenous individuals were given land as well. Most of the indigenous popula�on, however, scatered away from the mission centers. The few individuals that were given rancherias were illequipped to maintain or work their land, and many Ohlone who chose to remain in their ancestral territory were obliged to become squaters. Some were given jobs as manual laborers or domes�c servants on Mexican, or later American, catle ranches.

The Ohlone underwent a period of near cultural anonymity from the mid-19th century to the rela�vely recent past. During this �me Ohlone o�en presented themselves as other than Indian to the outside world, in large part to the discrimina�on suffered during and a�er the mission period.

Present day Ohlone descendants o�en remark that they were unaware of their heritage, or that their elders and rela�ves had not encouraged an interest in Ohlone heritage.

AMERICAN PERIOD
In the 1840s, Santa Cruz County’s popula�on increased substan�ally. The Spanish and Mexican governments contributed to this growth by gran�ng large tracts of former mission lands to private ci�zens. In 1833, the Mexican governor, Jose Figueroa, granted Jose Antonio Bolcoff, a Russian immigrant who had assumed Mexican ci�zenship, a por�on of land that encompassed Scots Valley.

Bolcoff raised catle, horses, sheep and developed crops such as wheat and barley on his property, which was known as Rancho San Augus�n. The Rancho changed ownership three �mes over the next 30 years. Bolcoff’s American brother-in-law, Joseph Ladd Majors purchased the Rancho in 1841.

During his ownership, Majors established a gristmill that provided wheat to residents from Monterey to the Santa Clara Valley. During the Mexican War (1846-1848), Majors sided with the Americans and used his rancho as a stockade/fortress for American and Bri�sh residents seeking refuge from local Mexican authori�es. Following Majors residency, Hiram Scot, a young Maine seaman, purchased the estate for the sum of $20,000, in 1850. Homesteading the area, Mr. Scot soon sent for addi�onal family members to join him. Before long the Scot family became the predominate inhabitants in the area, thus the town was named Scots Valley (Detleffs 1980; Laffey and Pokriots 1991).

HISTORY OF THE PROJECT AREA
A Bureau of Land Management General Land Office (GLO) map from 1864 shows the project parcel lies in the southwest 1
/4 of the northwest 1/4 of Sec�on 18 in Township 11 south, Range 1 west (Figure 3). Public records indicate the en�re sec�on was patented to John A. Bachelder on February 5, 1875.

As of 1985, there were s�ll members of the Bachelder family living on Granite Creek Road (Clark 1986).

A plat map from 1881 indicates that the project parcel was on an 85.258-acre parcel of land owned by Eireich Lassen. The County (Figure 4). By 1906, a plat map shows Russell s�ll owned the property and the street configura�on Road represented on the map may refer to the present-day Scots Valley Drive.

According to a plat map from 1889 Lassen con�nued to own the property on which the project parcel is located (Figure 5).

A 1906 plat map shows the Lassen parcel had been reduced to 79 acres and was owned by A & O Smith (Figure 6).

A plat map from 1929 shows the A & O Smith parcel had been reduced to 35.558 acres and was owned by Sophie C. Frank (Figure 7).

An aerial photograph from 1940 shows that the project parcel was undeveloped (Figure 8). 267

Field Methods and Results
January 13–15, 2020, Albion archaeologists John Ellison, Britney Biasi, Chris�na Spellman, and Alyssa Gelinas conducted surface and subsurface archaeological inves�ga�ons at APNs 022-481-18 and 22 on Erba Lane in Scots Valley, California. John Ellison, Amanda Hill, Britney Biasi, Chris�na Spellman, and Mathew Manigault returned for further subsurface sampling on February 20, 2020.

PEDESTRIAN SURVEY
Staff Archaeologist John Ellison closely inspected the exposed natural surface for any ar�facts, cultural materials, ecofacts, anthrosols, or any other indica�on of archaeological resources. Visibility of ground surface throughout the lot was poor due to pavement covering 80–90% of the parcel. The western edge of property allowed for visual inspec�on of the surface, though high grasses complicated surface visibility (Figure 10). Archaeologists iden�fied no cultural materials during the pedestrian survey.

TRENCHES
The crew oversaw mechanical excava�on of seven trenches and screened soils from thirteen Trench Samples (TS) for subsurface soils tes�ng. Trenches were excavated in areas where planned Project elements will impact na�ve soils (Figure 11). The archaeologists directed the Project-provided operator for the excava�on of the exploratory trenches. The mechanical trench excava�ons involved the use of a backhoe equipped with a standard 2-� (61 cm) wide, flat-bladed bucket in order to determine the presence or absence of buried archaeological deposits. Most trenches (Trench 2, 3, 4, and 7) measured 2 x 10 �, excavated in approximately 1-� increments to varying depths (4–9 �) reflec�ng each area’s project element. Trench 1 measured 2 x 50 �, ranging in depths 5–6.5 �.

Trench 5 measured 2 x 20 �, to 6.5 � and Trench 6 was 2 x 20 �, to 4 �.

Staff archaeologists Chris�na Spellman, Britney Biasi, and John Ellison inspected each trench to iden�fy strata and to record the soil profile and descrip�ons. Albion staff recorded soil profiles from inside the trenches to a depth of 5 �. A�er ini�al profile recorda�on, three areas were excavated to greater depths. The archaeologists could no longer enter the trenches due to OSHA safety guidelines. For every ver�cal foot excavated, archaeologist screened a minimum of .053 m3 (14 gallons) of matrix through 6 mm (1
/4 inch) or 3mm (1/8 inch) mesh to iden�fy cultural materials.

Appropriate field forms documented excava�on results including strata, descrip�on of soils, iden�fied ar�facts, disturbances, and any other per�nent informa�on. The trenches were backfilled upon comple�on. Archaeologists iden�fied five natural strata (Strata I-V) and several modern fill events. Soil descrip�ons for each stratum are presented in Table 3. 6 275

TRENCH 1
Trench 1 was originally placed in an area thought to be impacted to a depth of 6.5 � by elements of a storm drain line. However, the storm drain is further to the south and Trench 5 explored this project element. This trench measured approximately 2 � wide, 5–6.5 � deep, and 50 � in length.

For horizontal control, Trench 1 was divided into 10-� sec�ons. Sec�ons were labelled Trench Sample (TS) 1-5, from east to west. The TSs were excavated in 1-� increments with o.053 M3 (14 gallons) set aside to screen through 6 mm (1
/4 inch) or 3mm (1/8 inch) mesh.

TRENCH SAMPLE 1
The eastern most TS within Trench 1 was excavated to a 6.5-� depth and selected for soils profile recorda�on. TS 1 held all four natural strata (Strata I-IV) and several modern fill events. All soils from TS 1 were processed through 3mm (1
/8 inch) mesh. A total of 0.344 m3 soil was sampled from just below surface to 6.5 �. The results of TS 1 are presented in Table 4. Two flaked stone debitage ar�facts were recovered from a modern fill stratum, less than 1-� below surface. Modern material (safety glass) was iden�fied to a depth of 4 � below surface.

TRENCH SAMPLE 2
The modern fill soils from TS 2 were not screened (0–2 � below surface). Addi�onally, the na�ve soils contained more clay than previously recorded; therefore, the sample was divided to accelerate the soils sample processing within the fieldwork �meline. Archaeologists screened 75% of the sample through 6 mm (1
/4 inch) mesh and 25% through 3mm (1/8 inch) mesh. Three na�ve soil strata, Strata I, II, and III, were iden�fied in TS 2. The results of TS 2 are presented I Table 5. The sample yielded one debitage flake from Strata II, 3–4 � below surface. Modern materials were recovered as deep as 4 � below surface.

TRENCH 2
Trench 2, TS 7 was placed in an area with a proposed impact to a depth of 10 � by installa�on of a retaining wall in the northern area of parcel. This trench measured 2 � wide, 10 � in length.

Excava�on was halted at approximately 9 � below surface due to a collapse. Trench samples were collected to a depth of 8 � below surface Figure 13 depicts the stra�graphy of Trench 2.

TRENCH SAMPLE 7
The soils remained consistent, Stratum IV sand from just below modern fill to 9 � deep. All soils were processed through 3mm (1
/8 inch) mesh. The results of TS 7 are presented in Table 9. Three specimens of flaked stone debitage were recovered from the 1 to 2-� and 2 to 3-� levels. Modern glass was present in the 5–6-� level of TS 7. The north wall profile was recorded to 2 meters in depth. Further profile recorda�on could not take place due to the collapse of the trench walls.

TRENCH 7
Trench 6 was placed in an area with a proposed impact of 4 � deep, by ini�al grading and recompac�on of the parcel. This trench measured 2 � wide, 10 � in length, and 4 � deep.

TRENCH SAMPLE 13
The southeastern most TS was excavated to a 4-� depth and selected for soils profile recorda�on.

The results of TS 13 are presented in Table 16. A new stratum was present (Strata V) in TS 13 from which the only ar�fact (igneous rock debitage) was recovered (Figure 18). Stratum V is marsh-like with very so� sandy clay, wet with organic materials present.

AUGERS
Three augers explored the soils in the loca�on of the proposed collector drain, along the west boundary of the parcel. The augers measured 10-cm in diameter, reached a depth of 6.5 �, and all soils collected in 1-� intervals were screened through 3mm (1 /8 inch) mesh.

AUGER 1
Auger 1 was located just to the northwest of Trench 1 and southwest of Trench 3. The results of Auger 1 are presented in Table 17. Auger 1 produced no ar�facts or modern materials. 291

In sum, the field effort iden�fied modern fill present across the en�re parcel, a series of intact na�ve soils, and very few ar�facts from only two ar�fact classes. Fill soils range from 1-3 �, with the thickest layer in the central area of the parcel. Loamy soils (Strata I-III) developed above a sandy stratum (Strata IV) in the parcels central and southern areas. The north area was en�rely composed of the Strata IV sand, and in the far southwest loamy soil (Stratum II) developed over a marshy sandy-clay (Stratum V). Ar�facts are ver�cally distributed rather evenly across Strata I, II, and IV ranging from 3.9-4.5 ar�fact per cubic meter. Stratum V density appears inflated due to a single ar�fact recovered from the small volume sampled, although remaining a sparse 18.8 ar�facts/m3 . No
ar�facts were recovered from Stratum III. Horizontally, cultural materials were present in eight TSs and distributed evenly with four ar�facts in the north, four ar�facts in the central area, and three ar�facts in the south. However, only two ar�facts were iden�fied in the seven TSs and three Augers located greater than 20m west of the riparian corridor. No chronologically sensi�ve ar�facts, organic ar�facts, or charcoal atributable to a cultural event were recovered from the screened sample or iden�fied in trench walls.

Conclusions and Recommenda�ons
Visual inspec�on of the Project Area surface and subsurface excava�ons revealed no evidence of intact prehistoric or historic-era archaeological deposits.

Soils encountered were redeposited fill over five na�ve soil strata with no evidence of culturally produced stra�graphy. Seven mechanically excavated trenches and three hand-excavated augers were used to expose subsurface soils. Thirteen Trench Samples (TS) and three augers recovered

3.7018 m3 of soil for inspec�on. The sample included 1.3828 m3 of fill soils characterized by differing soil types mixed with modern materials such as concrete and pavement. The remaining 2.319 m3 appeared as intact na�ve soil. The sampled soils produced cultural material, consis�ng of 9 pieces of flaked stone and two groundstone implements. At least two flaked stone pieces were recovered from the redeposited fill sugges�ng at least some mechanical disturbance of na�ve soil occurred on the parcel. The two groundstone implements and the addi�onal seven flaked stone debitage pieces recovered from na�ve soils, are likely in-situ. However, the sparse nature of the deposit (3.9 ar�fact per m3
), paucity of ar�fact types, and no chronological markers or organic cultural materials for radiocarbon da�ng limits the ability for any archaeological interpreta�ons. This limited and narrow assemblage, which cannot be placed within the regional da�ng scheme, does not allow for significant data poten�al, and is therefore not significant under CEQA guidelines.

Albion’s inves�ga�on at APNs 022-481-18 and 22 on Erba Lane in Scots Valley indicates that poten�ally significant cultural materials are NOT located in the Project Area. Due to the proximity of archaeological site SCR-177/H, we recommend archaeological and Na�ve American monitoring during all ground-disturbing ac�vity.

archaeologists at UC Berkeley, including Kent Lightfoot, and they are very interested in the site. When I told him Kanyon Sayers was currently monitoring testing, he
insisted that she shouldn’t be monitoring since it’s not her territory. Mr. Lopez said that if human remains are found, they do not allow radiocarbon or DNA testing. He
requested that I call him when testing is complete to tell him what we retrieved. He also recommends referencing

VIA Email to: [email protected]; [email protected] RE: Native American Consultation, Pursuant to Senate Bill 18 (SB18), Government Codes §65352.3 and §65352.4, as well as Assembly Bill 52 (AB52), Public Resources Codes §21080.1, §21080.3.1 and §21080.3.2, Erba Road Development, Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz County.

Dear Ms. D'Oro:

Attached is a consultation list of tribes with traditional lands or cultural places located within the boundaries of the above referenced counties or projects.

Government Codes §65352.3 and §65352.4 require local governments to consult with California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of avoiding, protecting, and/or mitigating impacts to cultural places when creating or amending General Plans, Specific Plans and Community Plans.

Public Resources Codes §21080.3.1 and §21080.3.2 requires public agencies to consult with California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of avoiding, protecting, and/or mitigating impacts to tribal cultural resources as defined, for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) projects.

The law does not preclude local governments and agencies from initiating consultation with the tribes that are culturally and traditionally affiliated within your jurisdiction. The NAHC believes that this is the best practice to ensure that tribes are consulted commensurate with the intent of the law.

Best practice for the AB52 process and in accordance with Public Resources Code §21080.3.1(d), is to do the following:

Within 14 days of determining that an application for a project is complete or a decision by a public agency to undertake a project, the lead agency shall provide formal notification to the designated contact of, or a tribal representative of, traditionally and culturally affiliated California Native American tribes that have requested notice, which shall be accomplished by means of at least one written notification that includes a brief description of the proposed project and its location, the lead agency contact information, and a notification that the California Native American tribe has 30 days to request consultation pursuant to this section.

The NAHC also recommends, but does not require that lead agencies include in their notification letters, information regarding any cultural resources assessment that has been completed on the area of potential affect (APE), such as:
304

1. The results of any record search that may have been conducted at an Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), including, but not limited to:
 A listing of any and all known cultural resources have already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE, such as known archaeological sites;
 Copies of any and all cultural resource records and study reports that may have been provided by the Information Center as part of the records search response;  Whether the records search indicates a low, moderate or high probability that unrecorded cultural resources are located in the APE; and
 If a survey is recommended by the Information Center to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.

2. The results of any archaeological inventory survey that was conducted, including:
 Any report that may contain site forms, site significance, and suggested mitigation measures.

All information regarding site locations, Native American human remains, and associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum, and not be made available for public disclosure in accordance with Government Code Section 6254.10.

3. The result of the Sacred Lands File (SFL) check conducted through the Native American Heritage Commission was negative.

4. Any ethnographic studies conducted for any area including all or part of the APE; and

5. Any geotechnical reports regarding all or part of the APE.

Lead agencies should be aware that records maintained by the NAHC and CHRIS is not exhaustive, and a negative response to these searches does not preclude the existence of a tribal cultural resource. A tribe may be the only source of information regarding the existence of a tribal cultural resource.

This information will aid tribes in determining whether to request formal consultation. In the event, that they do, having the information beforehand well help to facilitate the consultation process.

If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify the NAHC.

With your assistance, we can assure that our consultation list remains current.

If you have any questions, please contact me at my email address: [email protected].

RE: Na�ve American Consulta�on for the Erba Lane Development Project, Scots Valley, Santa Cruz County, California
Dear Ms. Arellano:

Albion Environmental, Inc (Albion), on behalf of the City of Scots Valley, seeks your consulta�on for the Erba Lane Development Project (Project). The proposed work is to develop a 1.04-acre site consis�ng of two parcels (APNs 022-481-18 and 22) for residen�al land-use (Atachment 1). The Project involves the crea�on of twelve lots and two common lots for six single-family homes and three duplex units.

As the proposed Project requires an amendment to the exis�ng General Plan of Scots Valley and a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, Na�ve American outreach must be conducted under Assembly Bill 52 regula�ons. The regula�ons state that all tribes have 30 days to comment.

Results of a record search conducted at the Northwest Informa�on Center reveals five studies have been conducted within the Project APE and nineteen studies have been conducted within a 1 /8-mile of
the Project APE. One cultural resource has been recorded within the Project APE and two cultural resources have been recorded within a 1
/4-mile radius of the APE. A summary of the studies and cultural resources are included in Atachments 2 and 3.

Archaeological resource CA-SCR-177/H located within the Project Area includes both historic and precolonial components. Both components are discussed below.

HISTORIC COMPONENT
CA-SCR-177/H includes the loca�on of the Scot House, which was constructed as a residence for Hiram Scot and his family in 1858. The house is significant for its architecture (Greek Revival) and historical importance to the region. Mr. Scot was one of the original setlers in the area and is the person a�er whom Scots Valley is named. The house is listed in the Na�onal Register of Historic Places. The boundaries of CA-SCR-177/H include the house and its parcel despite the fact that it was moved to its present loca�on in 1936 due to the construc�on of Highway 17. The original loca�on of the Scot House is not included within the current boundaries of CA-SCR-177/H. 307

The precolonial component of CA-SCR-177/H was originally recorded as a lithic scater (Cooper 1979). In 1980, Dr. Robert Car�er conducted an archaeological evalua�on for the proposed construc�on of a City Hall for Scots Valley (Car�er 1980). Radiocarbon assays from the ini�al study returned dates of 7,000- 10,000 years before present (BP), very early for this region and for California as a whole.

Past ac�ons to the site resulted in lawsuits that were setled out of court in October 1982 (Car�er 1993).

The setlement required the City of Scots Valley to fund two large data recovery efforts in 1983 and 1987. The data recovery sampled over 400 cubic meters of cultural soils along the northeast por�on of the CA-SCR-177, and over 40 cubic meters from the southcentral area.

Very few sites da�ng from before 10,000 BP have been inves�gated; some researchers have suggested that earliest Californians established residences along estuaries and bay shores. The Scots Valley site (CA-SCR-177) is one of the few inland sites in the region with such early dates. Car�er’s (1993:271-273) report on the data recovery suggests the earliest cultural stratum of CA-SCR-177 dates to at least 10,500 BP. Since the soils are too acidic for bone or shell preserva�on, dates were extrapolated from radiocarbon da�ng charcoal in column samples, obsidian hydra�on, and diagnos�c ar�facts including an eccentric crescent, small leaf-shaped and medium lanceolate projec�le points, knives, and hammer stones.

More recently, Jones et. al (Jones and Klar 2007) suggests that there are numerous issues compromising interpreta�ons of the site’s stra�graphic integrity and da�ng. The excava�on unit used for radiocarbon da�ng during the 1987 data recovery produced dates from every millennium from 13,000 BP to present, although not in stra�graphic order. In 1987, radiocarbon studies required large amounts of charcoal. It was a common prac�ce to use column samples, which included many pieces of charcoal producing an average date likely from many burn events. Addi�onally, the charcoal may or may not be cultural in origin as natural forest fires are common in the region. Currently, much smaller carbon (bone, shell, charcoal) samples are necessary to return accurate dates. Carbon samples are ideally taken from known cultural phenomena, such as transported shell, cut/cooked faunal bone, or discrete archaeological features such as hearths or human burials. Jones et al (2007:135) acknowledges the radiocarbon dates from two intact hearth features place the earliest well dated occupa�on of the site into the Millingstone Period at 8,000 BP, s�ll of remarkable an�quity.

A host of small archaeological projects have iden�fied archaeological materials as far south as the Bank of America lot at the corner of Erba Lane and Scots Valley Drive (Table 1). At this point, the archaeological site boundaries are limited to the City of Scots Valley City Hall lot, the adjacent park, and the lot of the current Project. The actual boundaries of the archaeological site are currently unknown. 308

RE: Na�ve American Consulta�on for the Erba Lane Development Project, Scots Valley, Santa Cruz County, California
Dear Mr. Lopez:

Albion Environmental, Inc (Albion), on behalf of the City of Scots Valley, seeks your consulta�on for the Erba Lane Development Project (Project). The proposed work is to develop a 1.04-acre site consis�ng of two parcels (APNs 022-481-18 and 22) for residen�al land-use (Attachment 1). The Project involves the crea�on of twelve lots and two common lots for six single-family homes and three duplex units.

As the proposed Project requires an amendment to the exis�ng General Plan of Scots Valley and a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, Na�ve American outreach must be conducted under Assembly Bill 52 regula�ons. The regula�ons state that all tribes have 30 days to comment.

Results of a record search conducted at the Northwest Informa�on Center reveals five studies have been conducted within the Project APE and nineteen studies have been conducted within a 1 /8-mile of
the Project APE. One cultural resource has been recorded within the Project APE and two cultural resources have been recorded within a 1/4-mile radius of the APE. A summary of the studies and cultural resources are included in Attachments 2 and 3.

Archaeological resource CA-SCR-177/H located within the Project Area includes both historic and precolonial components. Both components are discussed below.

HISTORIC COMPONENT
CA-SCR-177/H includes the loca�on of the Scot House, which was constructed as a residence for Hiram Scot and his family in 1858. The house is significant for its architecture (Greek Revival) and historical importance to the region. Mr. Scot was one of the original settlers in the area and is the person a�er whom Scots Valley is named. The house is listed in the Na�onal Register of Historic Places. The boundaries of CA-SCR-177/H include the house and its parcel despite the fact that it was moved to its present loca�on in 1936 due to the construc�on of Highway 17. The original loca�on of the Scot House is not included within the current boundaries of CA-SCR-177/H. 311

Currently, much smaller carbon (bone, shell, charcoal) samples are necessary to return accurate dates. Carbon samples are ideally taken from known cultural phenomena, such as transported shell, cut/cooked faunal bone, or discrete archaeological features such as hearths or human burials. Jones et al (2007:135) acknowledges the radiocarbon dates from two intact hearth features place the earliest well dated occupa�on of the site into the Millingstone Period at 8,000 BP, s�ll of remarkable an�quity.

A host of small archaeological projects have iden�fied archaeological materials as far south as the Bank of America lot at the corner of Erba Lane and Scots Valley Drive (Table 1). At this point, the archaeological site boundaries are limited to the City of Scots Valley City Hall lot, the adjacent park, and the lot of the current Project. The actual boundaries of the archaeological site are currently unknown. 320

RE: Na�ve American Consulta�on for the Erba Lane Development Project, Scots Valley, Santa Cruz County, California
Dear Ms. Sayers:

Albion Environmental, Inc (Albion), on behalf of the City of Scots Valley, seeks your consulta�on for the Erba Lane Development Project (Project). The proposed work is to develop a 1.04-acre site consis�ng of two parcels (APNs 022-481-18 and 22) for residen�al land-use (Attachment 1). The Project involves the crea�on of twelve lots and two common lots for six single-family homes and three duplex units.

As the proposed Project requires an amendment to the exis�ng General Plan of Scots Valley and a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, Na�ve American outreach must be conducted under Assembly Bill 52 regula�ons. The regula�ons state that all tribes have 30 days to comment.

Results of a record search conducted at the Northwest Informa�on Center reveals five studies have been conducted within the Project APE and nineteen studies have been conducted within a 1 /8-mile of
the Project APE. One cultural resource has been recorded within the Project APE and two cultural resources have been recorded within a 1/4-mile radius of the APE. A summary of the studies and cultural resources are included in Attachments 2 and 3.

Archaeological resource CA-SCR-177/H located within the Project Area includes both historic and precolonial components. Both components are discussed below.

HISTORIC COMPONENT
CA-SCR-177/H includes the loca�on of the Scot House, which was constructed as a residence for Hiram Scot and his family in 1858. The house is significant for its architecture (Greek Revival) and historical importance to the region. Mr. Scot was one of the original settlers in the area and is the person a�er whom Scots Valley is named. The house is listed in the Na�onal Register of Historic Places. The boundaries of CA-SCR-177/H include the house and its parcel despite the fact that it was moved to its present loca�on in 1936 due to the construc�on of Highway 17. The original loca�on of the Scot House is not included within the current boundaries of CA-SCR-177/H. 323

RE: Na�ve American Consulta�on for the Erba Lane Development Project December 10, 2019
2 PRECOLONIAL COMPONENT
The precolonial component of CA-SCR-177/H was originally recorded as a lithic scater (Cooper 1979). In 1980, Dr. Robert Car�er conducted an archaeological evalua�on for the proposed construc�on of a City Hall for Scots Valley (Car�er 1980). Radiocarbon assays from the ini�al study returned dates of 7,000- 10,000 years before present (BP), very early for this region and for California as a whole.

Past ac�ons to the site resulted in lawsuits that were setled out of court in October 1982 (Car�er 1993).

The setlement required the City of Scots Valley to fund two large data recovery efforts in 1983 and 1987. The data recovery sampled over 400 cubic meters of cultural soils along the northeast por�on of the CA-SCR-177, and over 40 cubic meters from the southcentral area.

Very few sites da�ng from before 10,000 BP have been inves�gated; some researchers have suggested that earliest Californians established residences along estuaries and bay shores. The Scots Valley site (CA-SCR-177) is one of the few inland sites in the region with such early dates. Car�er’s (1993:271-273) report on the data recovery suggests the earliest cultural stratum of CA-SCR-177 dates to at least 10,500 BP. Since the soils are too acidic for bone or shell preserva�on, dates were extrapolated from radiocarbon da�ng charcoal in column samples, obsidian hydra�on, and diagnos�c ar�facts including an eccentric crescent, small leaf-shaped and medium lanceolate projec�le points, knives, and hammer stones.

More recently, Jones et. al (Jones and Klar 2007) suggests that there are numerous issues compromising interpreta�ons of the site’s stra�graphic integrity and da�ng. The excava�on unit used for radiocarbon da�ng during the 1987 data recovery produced dates from every millennium from 13,000 BP to present, although not in stra�graphic order. In 1987, radiocarbon studies required large amounts of charcoal. It was a common prac�ce to use column samples, which included many pieces of charcoal producing an average date likely from many burn events. Addi�onally, the charcoal may or may not be cultural in origin as natural forest fires are common in the region. Currently, much smaller carbon (bone, shell, charcoal) samples are necessary to return accurate dates. Carbon samples are ideally taken from known cultural phenomena, such as transported shell, cut/cooked faunal bone, or discrete archaeological features such as hearths or human burials.

I. Project Data
Project Name: Scotts Valley Housing, LLC
Application Submittal Date:

Project Location: Erba Lane easterly parking lot south of Ridgecrest Lane Assessor’s Parcel Number: APN 022-481-18
Project Description: Replace existing parking lots along Erba Lane with 12 Residential Homes.

Total Project Site Area (acres): 1.0386
Total New Impervious Surface Area (Sq.Ft.): 4,345
Total Replaced Impervious Surface Area (Sq.Ft.): 21,579 Total Pre-Project Impervious Surface Area (Sq.Ft.): 32,280 Total Post-Project Impervious Surface Area (Sq.Ft.): 25,924 Net Impervious Area (Sq.Ft.): 19,568
Watershed Management Zone(s): 1
Design Storm Frequency and Depth: 95th Percentile and 2.6 inches Urban Sustainability Area: N/A
Project Tier: 4
II. Setting
II.A. Project Location and Description: The site is the existing parking that fronts the easterly right of way of Erba Lane and south of Ridgecrest Lane. It has been re-zoned for High Density residential housing and to be subdivided into 14 lots. The subdivision will be made up of 12 residential lots and 2 common area lots. The common area lots will consist of 2 parking stalls at the northerly end of the site just south of Ridgecrest Lane and a new access road on the southerly portion of the site that services 5 of the 12 residential lots. The residential units will be setback 25 feet from the 100-year storm flood boundary of existing intermittent drainage swale to the east the site. 407

3 II.B. Existing Site Features and Conditions: The site is trapezoidal in shape, it’s longest length 320 feet +/- which runs north and south and is approximately 1.0387 more or less acres in size. The westerly two-thirds of the site consist of two existing asphalt concrete parking lots. The two parking lots are not conjoined but are accessible from Erba Lane and separated by a small slope bank with an approximately grade of 3 to 1.

The easterly portion of the site gradually slopes towards the existing intermittent drainage swale. The site is made up of a fill wedge varying is depth starting from the south and increase to approximate 5 feet of fill depth at the northern limits of the site.

The Geotechnical investigation has deemed the fill material unsuitable for structural support at its current condition and has called for it to removed and recompacted.

According the USDA Web Soil Survey the southwesterly portion of the site adjacent to Erba Lane is Zayante Coarse Sand with a Ksat of 5.95 to 19.98 inches per hour and remainder of the site adjacent to the drainage swale is Soquel Loam with a Ksat of 0.20 to 0.57 inches per hour.

II.C. Opportunities and Constraints for Stormwater Control: The proposed road that services the proposed sub-division will be comprised of permeable pavers section and asphalt concrete section. The permeable paver section of the road, adjacent to Erba Lane will contain a retention storage basin beneath it. The retention basin resides where the Zayante Coarse Sand is shown on-site according to the USDA soils survey and thus providing moderate percolation rates for the proposed site BMP. Stormwater overflow runoff from the proposed drainage system will be conveyed to the existing public storm drainage system by installing a new manhole, curb inlet and 18” storm drainage line running south approximately 425 linear feet in Erba Lane to the existing storm drainage system.

III. Low Impact Development Design Strategies
III.A. Optimization of Site Layout:

III.B. Use of Permeable Pavements: Permeable pavers will be used to mitigate driveway runoff at each residential lot, common area parking lot and portion of the road serving lots 8 through 12. The driveways and common area parking lot stormwater runoff will be captured in individual perforated sub-drain pipes which will be connected to 12” collector pipe running north and south and parallel to Erba Lane. The common road servicing the interior lots will have a permeable pavement section adjacent to Erba Lane and downstream of the asphalt concrete pavement section portion of roadway. Stormwater runoff from the upstream paved section of roadway will surface flow and infiltrate into the permeable section downstream.

III.C. Dispersal of Runoff of Pervious Areas: All hardscape stormwater runoff will be directed directly to the retention system below the access (Sams Lane) road. The decomposed granite pathway from the northern parking lot to the intermittent drainage swale will have some stormwater runoff being directed overland to the existing swale. The majority of the lots stormwater runoff bordering the existing drainage swale will be routed to 408

4 the on-site retention system. The intent is to avoid dispersion of site drainage to the existing drainage swale to the west.

III.D. Stormwater Control Measures: The post development impervious surface will be less than the pre-development thus post development peak flows discharge from the site for the 10 year 24 hour event. Hence no peak management will be required for the project. With permeable pavers and storm chambers beneath the common service road our goal is to retain the 95th percentile storm event. Individual lots’ roofs, driveways, and hardscape stormwater runoff will be conveyed via storm drain pipe network to the sized retention storage basin beneath the road.

RE: Bay Village Planned Development – Planning Permit Application Nos.: PD19-004, LD19-002, DR19- 014, EA19-010, CR20-001, ND20-001
Dear Ms. Bradley,
We are writing to OBJECT to the application referenced above for a 10 unit planned community on Erba Lane across from the SV Fire Department Headquarters.

My husband and I raised our family at 49 Erba Lane and spent 30 years living on the street, finally selling in October 2020. We continue to visit our friends who reside on the street often.

Erba Lane is and has been for many years a very busy street with numerous businesses at the lower end, the active fire station headquarters in the middle, Mac Dorsa Park across the street and 20+ houses and townhome at the upper end of the street. In addition, there are over 15 homes on Ridgecrest Dr. which adds additional traffic on to Erba Lane. Adding ten more housing units and the associated traffic, parking and people will have a tremendous and detrimental impact on the safety of the street and all who use it.

Erba Lane is a relatively narrow street and the further up it a driver goes, the less street space there is to park. For a number of years, I asked the City of SV to maintain and trim the trees and brush that grows out of the creek and blocks street parking. Very little was done in all the years we lived on the street to manage the growth. This makes parking along the creek side of the street extremely challenging.

Vehicles typically have to park one to two feet off the curb and into the street since the brush growth prevents parking close to the curb. Adding more cars to the street will only increase the demand for street parking and will further clog the street.

With the increase in street parking in the upper section of Erba Lane comes a decrease in visibility for drivers coming down Ridgecrest Drive making the intersection of the two streets extremely dangerous.

On numerous occasions residences of Erba have come close to being broadsided by drivers failing to stop at the bottom of Ridgecrest. Instead drivers coming from Ridgecrest merge onto Erba with no thought to look for cars, bicycles and pedestrians coming down the street. An increase in traffic on Erba will make this intersection even more dangerous.

The loss of this parking area will also have a negative impact on the neighborhood when there are events and parties held at Mac Dorsa Park. The lot where the housing is proposed is used for Mac Dorsa and fire station parking overflow. If this lot is taken away and new residences added, there will be an even greater increase in demand for street parking.
424

Erba Lane has a large number of pedestrians on it daily. From the businesses located at the bottom of the street, many employees take their breaks and walk up the Erba hill or continue up Ridgecrest. There is currently no sidewalk on Erba Lane. Adding more traffic from the new housing will make it even more dangerous for pedestrians. There are also a number of families that live on Erba and their children walk to SVMS. They will also encounter more traffic and less room to walk safely on the shoulder of the street.

It is our strong opinion that adding more housing in such a small area on an already busy street is an extremely poor idea. These houses will have a negative impact on the fire station, local businesses, the community’s ability to access Mac Dorsa Park and most impactfully will have an extremely negative affect on the residences of Erba Lane.

We ask you to deny the building permit for these homes.

Thank you for your consideration,
Sue Rains

I’m writing in regard to the planned development for Erba Lane known as Bay Village.

My name is Natasha Katznelson.

I live at 29 Erba Lane
Please accept the following comments for the planned project.

As a resident of the neighborhood I am concerned about the following issues 1) The narrowing of Erba Lane
With the planned addition of a 5 foot wide sidewalk, a 6 foot wide landscaping strip, and 9ft wide on-street parking, effectively narrowing the street by 15-20 feet, I am concerned that the street would become overly narrow in front of the Fire Department and for the length of the development.

In current conditions two cars can pass in opposite directions comfortably if there are no pedestrians. When there are pedestrians present (children walking to and from school for example) it feels congested.

This becomes an issue of safety not only for pedestrians but also in the case of a sudden or unexpected evacuation.

The narrowing will also affect the ability of firetrucks to easily depart the fire station.

I believe the narrowing will lead to congestion and more dangerous conditions, especially with the return of normal traffic patterns.

Lower Erba is already busy is traffic from B of A and the rockery.

It is also a popular pick up/drop off point for the middle school.

The addition of 27 new residents will only add to the congestion. 2) Decreased utility of the Fire Station
The site is currently used by the fire department for a multitude of purposes.

First and foremost it is used as a training site not only for SV staff but for other departments as well.

The site is used to host potential recruits, disaster relief training, critical rescue trainings (jaws of life), etc.

It is also used as staff parking.
3) Increased traffic and decreased parking
The top of Erba Lane is a cul de sac and usually only sees non resident traffic when someone overshoots the turn for Ridgecrest.

My concern is that there will be an increase of traffic as the number of residences increase.

Although the parking for each lot in the development is generous (4 spaces total) many people opt to use their garage for storage rather than parking.

This will lead to a potential increase in new resident parking (or guests) on upper Erba which in turn would increase the flow of traffic through the cul de sac.

There is already limited parking daily and is even more problematic during holidays or other social occasions.

Upper Erba is narrow and only allows one side of the street parking- opposite the existing dwellings.

The natural flow of traffic is to exit by driving around the cul de sac. 426

Our property is situated on the curve with very tall privacy hedges which creates a blind spot exactly where most drivers tend to accelerate.

It can be challenging to exit our driveway safely with residents who are familiar with the neighborhood. 4) Construction noise and debris.

Although this is addressed in the environmental impact report as not much of a concern- the construction noise is not thought to be louder than 60 decibels (?).

Our family is very sensitive to sounds and there is definitely a background noise generated by construction.

I could not find a projected timeline for the completion of the project.

After a year+ of constraint and stress of pandemic living another 6-12 months of dealing with the noise and congestion of construction on our street feels unbearable.

I also could not find any information about the mitigation of construction debris.

The last time we lived near a construction zone we had to replace the tires on both our cars due to sharp objects from the construction.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Natasha Katznelson

Dear City Council & Planning Commission:

I am writing to ask for your support in favor of the housing development proposal of Bay Village on Erba Lane by Mr Larry Abitbol.

As the president of Bay Photo, Mr Larry Abitbol brought his company and 350+ employees to Scotts Valley in an effort to bring economic vitality to our local community. During this time, Mr Abitbol has shown considerable generosity and goodwill toward his employees in finding housing opportunities for his staff.

As a young professional in Santa Cruz County, and for Bay Photo, for almost 20 years now, it has proven challenging to find quality housing opportunities. As rental and home values have increased, wildfires have destroyed and displaced residents, and a pandemic has damaged the livelihood of community members, Bay Photo and Scotts Valley have lost essential revenue due to a lack of housing opportunities and high cost of living. I, personally, would not be in a favorable position to live here without the support of Mr Larry Abitbol and am grateful to have found a great company and generous employer to work for.

We hope to find your support in this proposed development that will provide much needed housing opportunities for the working professionals contributing economic vitality to our local community.

Sincerely,
Justin Downard

RE: 10 SFR on Erba Lane
To Whom it may concern,
I am writing with a voice of support for the proposed development of 10 SFR on Erba Lane.

As a long time commercial real estate broker active in Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz, I am often on the front line of companies looking to move and expand their business into town. The question of housing availability for employees is always a concern. This 10 unit infill project will help. This appears to be a classic “infill” project that is compatible with the neighborhood and will enhance the immediate surroundings. It is always good to have housing stock like this project near City Hall and the City Park.

Scotts Valley holds this nice balance of being a bedroom community for Silicon Valley, but at the same time its housing stock bolsters the local business communities. This development will be good for employees who work in Scotts Valley and want to live here as well.

I support this development because it will be good for people who work in Scotts Valley.

Sincerely,
Randy Parker

DocuSign Envelope ID: 2EB58590-8251-4C42-B68F-BC45EB1D8666

SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Scotts Valley does hereby make the following findings, as further clarified in the staff report dated June 16, 2021:

1. That the Planned Development Zoning District Overlay and Permit (PD) further the policies of the General Plan. The project meets the requirement of this finding in that the project proposes ten new single-family dwellings within lands designated R-H, High Density Residential on the City’s General Plan map. The project is consistent within the General Plan density range of 9 to 15 units per acre, and results with a density of 9.6 units per acre. The project includes the construction of ten two-story, single-family dwellings including four duplex/duets, all with attached two-car garages. Common Lot A is for a private road which provides access to seven of the residential units (lots seven to ten) and stormwater infrastructure. The homes are of a conventional design that is consistent with the character of the neighborhood.

Further, the project improves and upgrades a previously undeveloped and underutilized site providing housing opportunities for ten families.

2. The proposed Planned Development District Overlays (PD) are consistent with the underlying land use designations and zoning districts and that of the City of Scotts Valley General Plan. The project meets the requirements of this finding because the PD district overlay will be combined with the base zoning district. The resulting R-H/PD zone allows specific development standards to address to accommodate unique circumstances related to lot size and shape, intensity, coverage, and appearance of structures. After the biologist determined the riparian woodland boundary location, the project was redesigned from a twelve-lot subdivision with 12 new single-family dwellings, as ten lot subdivision to avoid development in the riparian area. This created a physical constraint resulting in very irregularly shaped lots and reduced front, side, and rear yard setbacks and requested exceptions to the development standards as allowed in a PD district.

3. That the PD conforms in all respects to the planned development zoning of the property. The “PD” will be an overlay zone to the proposed R-H base zoning district. The project design meets the requirement of this finding in that approval of the Planned Development and Design Permit will allow the construction of ten two-story, single-family dwellings including four duplex/duets, all with attached two-car garages and private yards. The Planned Development zoning allows exceptions to the development standards to accommodate the proposed lot configuration with reduced lot sizes, width and depths, reduced front, side, and rear setbacks. Each new home will have private yard space, two covered garage parking space and two uncovered parking spaces.

4. That the inter-relationship between the orientation, location, mass and scale of building volumes, and elevations of buildings, structures, and other uses on-site are appropriate, compatible, and aesthetically harmonious. The project meets the requirements of this finding in that the overall siting and design of the buildings incorporate conventional horizontal siding on one of the stories and board and batt siding on the other. The front elevations include a stone veneer base with a front porch with a gable roof and wood timber details. The roof forms include gables with shingles or lap siding under the gables and wood brackets. The roofs are conventional in design with a 6:12 pitch and medium dark brown color composition shingles.

The proposed windows are off-white color vinyl or wood frame, single hung with single or double windows with multiple lights and wood trim. The proposed colors will be unique for each home and include shades of medium and light browns and greens and the trim, trellises, deck railings and wood knee braces are a dark brown color. The stone veneer are two natural stone brown/gray/ buff colors. The garage doors will be metal insulated doors with sections and divided lights at the top with a wood trellis’ over the garage doors. The two-story homes are approximately 28 to 30-feet in height feet similar to other nearby homes in the neighborhood. As designed consistent with the General Plan Action OSA-387. The PD allows exceptions from the underlying R-H zoning standards predominantly related to lot size and configuration of the proposed lots, in order for each home to be on a separate parcel of land, which has private yard spaces. The architectural details, materials, mass, and colors of the proposed residential units are high quality and are consistent with newer single-family dwellings, compatible with the surrounding area. The architecture, quality exterior materials/ finishes/colors, and landscaping will create an aesthetically harmonious project.

5. The environmental impacts of the project have been reviewed and considered. The project meets the requirements of this finding in that the Project’s Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration MND20-001 and determined that there would be no potentially significant adverse environmental impacts and the project will not degrade the quality of the environment with the implementation of identified standard conditions of approval and three Mitigation and Monitoring measures.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, after careful consideration of the application and related materials, plans, maps, facts, exhibits, staff report, testimony and other evidence submitted in this matter, and incorporated herein by this reference, the City Council approves Planned Development District (PD19-001) for a ten-lot subdivision for the construction of ten units (six detached single-family dwellings and two attached duet/ duplexes), and related site improvements on a 1.04-acre site located at Erba Lane (no situs) / APNs 22-481-18 AND 22, pursuant to the Planned Development Zone Map (Exhibit A) which is incorporated herein by this reference.
