archaeological inventory, and then going back to the applicant’s page 2, No. 11. I’m just a little concerned because it seems that there are some significant sites on the subject property. And I’m not sure if I’m in order right now. And it says that, “should any remains of historic sites, such as rock walls … work in the immediate area shall cease and the DLNR-Historic Preservation Division will be notified.” But aren’t there already identified sites? So if you can explain. YUEN: Yes. What you are reading is a catch-all or a fallback type of condition that applies if something unknown is discovered. For example, bulldozers are out in the field and they come across, they may remove say a layer of dirt, and then you see a layer of paving and maybe that’s an ancient trail; and so they see that, according to this condition, they are supposed to stop. Now there has been an archaeological inventory study done of the property, and certain sites have been identified for preservation. And in my discussion I’ll get into that a little bit further, and show where those are on one of the maps that you have. So there is another condition, the condition about having a preservation plan requires that the sites that have been found in the inventory survey be preserved. This is just like a fallback in case during the course of construction new things were found, then, oops, you are supposed to stop and take care of it; and not just say, oops, oh well, they are not what was found earlier in order to be preserved so we can keep going and knock it down. BOWMAN: Thank you for the clarification. RHO: Other questions? If not, I have a question. And maybe you can just help me clarify this for my own mind. When the original SMA was approved, the archaeological study was not done. Is that true? LIM: During the course of development the archaeological inventory survey, which is basically the archaeologist going out and finding everything, sending his report to the State Historic Preservation Division and them agreeing that, yes, we think you found everything; that has been done. They did some subsequent what they call preservation plans and mitigation plans for the development at that time proposed of just one house. So if the developer comes back in with the 25 lots, he will have to go back in for a new mitigation and preservation plan. These -, the preserved sites are already identified; and how it works in development, they would be -, you’ll see those orange plastic fence that they put around the sites with the buffers that are approved by the SHPD. RHO: This may not be an appropriate question for you; but when the SMA was th actually approved, that study was not available. The study that’s attached to this March 4 Planning Director’s cover letter to the -. LIM: I’m not sure -. RHO: Plan -. LIM: On the date of the inventory survey report. I think much of the -. RHO: Well, one is dated August 2000, a letter from Don Hibbard -. EXHIBIT A 18
