BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Pine Valley Partners, LLC proposes to develop a single-family subdivision on three parcels (112-10-005L, 112-10-005M, and 112-10-005P) located East of Woody Mountain Road and South of Kiltie Lane, totaling 201 acres. A Cultural Resource Study was required pursuant to Heritage Preservation code section 10-30.30.050.A.2. as the project involves Undeveloped Land. A Cultural Resource Study was completed by ETD, Inc. and submitted by Civil Design & Engineering, Inc. on behalf of Pine Valley Partners, LLC. Appendices A and B of the attached Phase 1 Cultural Resource Study have been redacted to prevent disclosure of confidential site information.
The Cultural Resource Study recorded six archaeological sites (Sanctuary One - Sanctuary Six). Five sites (Sanctuary One, Two, Three, Five, Six) are recommended ineligible for listing on the Flagstaff, Arizona, and National Registers of Historic Places. One site (Sanctuary Four) is recommended eligible for listing on the Flagstaff, Arizona, and National Registers of Historic Places. Avoidance of this site is recommended for the proposed subdivision project.
A Preliminary Plat application for the proposed subdivision is under City of Flagstaff Inter-Divison Staff review, pending resubmittal. The Phase 1 Cultural Resource Study must be approved by the Heritage Preservation Commission before Preliminary Plat approval by the Heritage Preservation Officer. The last application submission demonstrated avoidance of the Sanctuary Four site. The Heritage Preservation Officer will continue to review future submittals.
