Ahlgren, Engr.: Commission recommended approval of request for building site approval subject to conditions recommended by Staff and amended at the meeting of 1/29/76. Mr. Ray Rossi, applicant, stated that he wished to address three items as they appeared in the Staff Report on subject property, specifically, Items 4, 6 a) and b), and as amended by Commission action on 1/29/76. Item 4, that the Town Historian be notified prior to any excavation on the property for the purpose of retaining any artifacts which mqy be unearthed during excavation (Condition shown as amended by Variance �; Permit Commission): Mr. Rossi appealed this condition, stating that, based on the information he had gathered, he did not believe the land on which he wished to build his home was ever the site of the Juan Prado Mesa Adobe. He said he would have no objections to an archaeologist inspecting any excavations if it were at the Town's expense, but did not wish to pay for these services when he did not feel this was the site location. Mr. Crowe pointed out that the question before Council this evening was a request for building site approval only, and not relative to the designation of the property as a historical site. He said that the property had been designated a Historical Point of Interest by the Town, and the Town must proceed on that basis as required by Ordinance. The agreement or disagree- ment with the Town was another issue which should be handled accordingly. Por. Rossi stated he had no objections to having a plaque on his property designating a historical site, but objected to having to pay for an archaeologist. -3-
