Applicant Matthew Lance testified he would work with city staff to revise the submittal. Committee members said the plan lacked legible construction drawings, clear delineation of the project area vs. utility work, detailed monitoring protocols, and explicit identification of whether federal (FAA) or other funding or approvals applied to the project. Several committee members urged the applicant to document whether the project uses federal funds — a factor that would affect other federal review requirements — and to include a clear description of the landmark or airport assets that might be affected by construction.
Staff said the airport project is a capital improvement project (CIP) under city review and that city staff will coordinate review with the applicant. The applicant agreed to withdraw the item and submit updated drawings and an expanded monitoring plan addressing staff comments; staff and the applicant scheduled a follow‑up meeting.
Why it matters: The airport site is within an area that contains historic resources and is used by Pueblo communities; committee members said any construction near taxiways and aprons must have clearly scoped archaeological protections, and that a monitoring plan should spell out who will be present and the monitoring protocols.
Committee direction and next steps: The applicant withdrew the plan to redesign the submittal. Staff will provide the applicant with detailed comments and will meet to walk through required revisions; a new submission will return to ARC when it addresses legibility of plans, mapping scale, soils information and a clarified project description.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","ARC Meeting 05-22-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The applicant withdrew a monitoring plan for a new airport terminal so they could revise the submission.

Case 202510450 (water main): Staff corrected a reference in the recommendation to the historic downtown district code section (noted in the staff report as 14‑3.13D4A) and confirmed coordination between the water department and archaeological staff. Committee members asked for legible plans and confirmation of in‑field personnel who will supervise monitoring. The case was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Case 202510441 (sewer line): The applicant presented a monitoring plan and field report. Committee members requested clearer maps that show the trench alignment, parcel ownership notes where the trench crosses private lots, and feature labeling on all maps. The committee approved the report on condition that the applicant submit revised maps and a finalized body report; the monitoring approval requires the updated materials before the city issues any clearances.
Why it matters: Utility work in archaeological review districts frequently requires monitoring and clear documentation to avoid damaging cultural resources. The committee emphasized that maps must clearly show the trench alignment and feature locations so monitors and reviewers can accurately interpret findings and compliance.
Committee direction and next steps: For both projects, the committee required legible, engineer‑scale drawings and clearer mapping of the trench/project footprint. For the sewer project, staff and the applicant agreed that the conditional approval requires the revised materials to be submitted to city staff; the revisions will be processed administratively rather than requiring a new hearing unless significant new issues arise.","The Archaeological Review Committee approved an archaeological map and plan for a 350‑foot subsurface water main and conditionally approved a monitoring report for a 130‑foot sewer line project after requiring clearer maps, specific trench depictions, and updated monitoring details.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6150166,"Residents tell review committee developers obliterated acequia; committee members and staff promise follow‑up",342,1186000,1528000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5509293-4cf263cc10257c10c88924d058da3805&start=1186&end=1528","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5509293-4cf263cc10257c10c88924d058da3805/thumbnail_1186000.jpg","/articles/6150166/Santa-Fe/Santa-Fe-County/New-Mexico/Residents-tell-review-committee-developers-obliterated-acequia-committee-members-and-staff-promise-followup","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6150166-c87ed64b2b21cac8831b50ec946ed40e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771113358&Signature=LUMdGqYT1ZrfF~Uy~o0-PnsQwZ4gFnqI-6Rwtggn-aJdMJBhzmroH84lJjgIjq1Alghnv8wi2HU2KkwtFFd0pXipPcp9T3FzBYqZzySlMvsoYEbpLk3w~X5mhkWOcCBixpKDdz4YlskxvY8Jne1w1iUdnca3lqwV~ApoycGBrQRLpdmxdz9YiH0g-kfjRWXFn8tDRAdB1WkQ7~eTpvbnqx-tBm6O2Qq3fUpCjZ2KumS-Z6svqOBpmCNX2HOT6T2OjYKtMowcsKf2KSubjM6OVxVhePyRjYWrGRongwRn8M8WLuZ77kXt-p3W~pfWbVaR4T~gisT0KXesrdRwhxbQRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A resident, Rick Ward, told the City of Santa Fe Archaeological Review Committee during public comment on May 22 that a historic acequia and an associated cultural site west of St. Francis Drive were altered and in places obliterated after successive property sales and grading by developers, including Pulte Homes. Ward said he and neighborhood volunteers had previously raised mitigation concerns and that promised remediation had not occurred.
Ward described earlier determinations by the ARC and surveyors that called for buffer setbacks and preservation of the acequia segment, and said those protections were not followed when the land passed through multiple private owners. He said the developer’s grading created a ponding and drainage problem, that the community has been given only token recognition such as a plaque, and that the site remains unrepaired. He also said he had raised the issue with the city and with project leads but had not seen mitigation implemented.
Committee members and staff responded with procedural suggestions: they advised Ward to pull the minutes from the meetings where mitigation commitments were recorded and to work with staff to identify the easement and property history. Committee members noted the possibility that permits and plats should have recorded easements and suggested staff would search records and could provide older aerial photos and other documentary evidence to trace when the acequia feature was lost.
Why it matters: Acequias and traditional irrigation features are both cultural landscape resources and practical drainage infrastructure in parts of the city; their alteration can affect heritage values, downstream drainage, and permit compliance. Ward asked for signage and community involvement in mitigation; committee members encouraged continued engagement and suggested staff contact the resident with follow‑up steps.
Committee direction and next steps: Staff said they would search historical records and minutes and coordinate further with the resident and the applicant/contractor. Ward offered to help with on‑the‑ground cleanup. No formal ARC action was taken at the hearing; the committee recommended further record review and potential follow‑up.","A resident urged the Archaeological Review Committee to investigate destruction of a historic acequia and cultural site in a development by Pulte Homes and others, saying prior preservation measures were not implemented; staff and committee members advised pulling meeting minutes and pursuing records and promised continued engagement.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6150169,"Archaeologists uncover previously undetected trench near Presidio; artifacts suggest 17th-century military use",1450,9730000,11180000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5509293-4cf263cc10257c10c88924d058da3805&start=9730&end=11180","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5509293-4cf263cc10257c10c88924d058da3805/thumbnail_9730000.jpg","/articles/6150169/Santa-Fe/Santa-Fe-County/New-Mexico/Archaeologists-uncover-previously-undetected-trench-near-Presidio-artifacts-suggest-17th-century-military-use","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6150169-1736a38dbda068395a25c9be73ff5778/orig.mp4?Expires=1771113358&Signature=hrJ3LO8IAmFv-iKUMvDCYpFlHp2V-Xz02YINvyZUzXm0RLJtB6eYO1~mXXPAMfirkEZ~hcQYZgDdeao2MneqM6SzuZkCSVI5X1ck4Sse2FEGsHDy~1I6DWMjgMVQkv6c9KIRjDgA11r1JqVZff3gbTzmpM3Bgr89UKAJbYU-HwMQnY1AIiIeIAOeRmtjvoU2t-jUIiQqgltRE50xFYrDwxx8q25Tp-vgWPMhNAwE1O-u1Y71c1hu1fTv3vrCc4hnZiuVCupLA~Xv6CZvqOx1SyeYRDBjJhhItdTNVB3w1cV8C9WLp2TIDGJicC2TpFzIC-VHy0nJHVQCG0iQQ7IIiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Archaeologists reported the discovery of a previously undocumented, roughly 23-meter-long trench feature near the historic Presidio area during a progress excavation reported to the City of Santa Fe Archaeological Review Committee on May 22.
The monitoring team found the feature cut into older deposits with a stepped ramp at one end and a short staircase at the other. Pottery and stone artifacts recovered from the fill include square-based ceramic forms and lithic fragments identified by project specialists as, in at least some instances, French gunflints — material the presenter said is consistent with 17th‑century military contexts. Project staff told the committee the trench produces a strong ground‑penetrating radar (GPR) signature and could be followed farther along Grand Avenue.
Committee members and the project lead stressed caution and documentation. A project archaeologist told the committee the fill in parts of the trench appears to be mixed construction and demolition material in later contexts, but the lower, hand‑excavated deposits contained diagnostic items linking the feature to early colonial occupation. The committee discussed short‑term measures to protect the feature during work and longer‑term preservation options. One city official described a leading option as backfilling the feature and compacting the fill so the trench remains preserved below ground while the site is stabilized for future treatment.
Why it matters: The feature lies in an area of high archaeological sensitivity next to known historic Presidio remains. If the trench indeed dates to the 17th century and is connected with early defensive or drainage works associated with the Presidio, it would expand understanding of early colonial occupation and could affect how nearby development and landscape work proceed.
Committee direction and next steps: Committee members requested more mapping and correlation with historic maps and GPR lines, and asked staff to coordinate with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Museum of New Mexico on documentation and treatment options. The presenter said museum curators and specialists have been consulted and that the team will continue controlled excavation in targeted sections while preparing a preservation plan for review.
The committee did not take a formal vote on treatment at the hearing; members recommended additional documentary research, cross‑section drawings of the feature, and consultation on how to balance preservation with the site owner’s programmatic needs.","Crews uncovered a roughly 23-meter-long trench feature near the old Presidio area during a progress excavation at a City-owned site. Pottery and gunflints found in the feature suggest early colonial (1600s) activity; staff discussed preservation options including reburial and in-place protection.","actionData","errors"]
