The video on Leo Carrillo that Mrs. Kindle has acquired is available for educational use. The video will be shown at the Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting next Monday evening. Clint Phillips reported that there has been no response to his memorandum to the Planning Department, and Commissioner Gallegos asked that this item be kept on the agenda for next month. 2. EIR CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY REPORTS Eric Munoz reported that Cannon Reach I1 goes through most of the Kelly property. This is the south side of the Lagoon, west of the Kelly property, adjacent to the freeway. The EIR is dated April 1983. Mr. Munoz stated that there is no significant space around the Kelly house. There used to be pine trees there, but they are gone, and Commissioner Gallegos said there is an archaeological site where the pine trees used to be. Howard-Jones Ahaaroni Gallegos MINUTES November , 199 COMMISSIONERS OLD BUSINESS: (Continued) Mr. Munoz stated that some archaeological studies were made on the original EIR, and more will be done. Commissioner Gallegos stated there is a data recovery program going on at this time, and he would like a report next month on what RECON is finding. Mr. Munoz distributed copies of the prehistoric sites around Batiquitos Lagoon. Commissioner Gallegos had said that those sites need to be identified. 3. ARCHAEOLOGICAL GUIDELINES Commissioner Gallegos reported that this Commission got a grant for RECON to do guidelines, and those were submitted to SHPO. Marty Orenyak wanted something easier to understand by his group, and as a result the guidelines were revised. When the revised guidelines were given back to Commissioner Gallegos, he discovered that some major changes had been made. Mr. Gallegos stated that this is not the same document that was originally sent to SHPO. He suggested that he should meet with Brian Smith and get these revisions back to the Planning Department. 4. CULTURAL RESOURCES Ramsey House - nothing has happened, but the house is empty and falling into disrepair. Commissioner Gallegos suggested a letter to the realtor expressing this Commission's concern for the structure. The consensus of the Commission was to have Chairperson Howard-Jones write a letter to the realtor expressing this Commission's concern for the structure. There was nothing to report on the Knowles House, St. Michael's and Twin Inns. 5. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS Cultural Resource Site Markers - A marker will be made for Batiquitos Lagoon sites listing all those sites and will be placed close to 1-5, near the park and ride area. Chairperson Howard-Jones asked for the information on where the markers were purchased, the price, etc. MINUTES November 15, 1990 y\' < P - COMMISSIONERS Page 3 NEW BUSINESS : 6. CARLSBAD HISTORICAL MUSEUM FUNDING AND STRUCTURES Commissioner Gallegos explained that this item was on the agenda to see whether anything further could be done to use the house sitting on Christiansen Way for a museum. The house will be rented at its present locality for a year or two. The Historical Society has a plan for a 25,000 square foot three-building complex, in which there would be a museum, with the other leases paying for the cost of the buildings. The museum would eventually be able to use the entire space. Chairperson Howard-Jones suggested that perhaps the Magee barn could be used to house farm equipment and items of that type. She also suggested that storage €or the artifacts now on hand be addressed at the time the proposal is made by the Historical Society. Commissioner Aharoni said maybe this could be a school project, and he would call the schools, and report at the next meeting . 7. USE OF HISTORIC STRUCTURES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING Chairperson Howard-Jones stated that some areas are buying up old industrial buildings and remodeling them into low-cost housing. Although there are no such buildings in this area, there might be some houses to be saved for low-cost housing. 8.
