Commission accepts Phase I archaeology report for 321 East Eastleigh
Summary
The commission accepted a Phase I archaeological resources report for the proposed accessory dwelling unit project at 321 East Eastleigh, with staff and a consulting archaeologist finding low likelihood of archaeological resources on the site.
The Historic Landmarks Commission accepted a Phase I archaeological resources report for 321 East Eastleigh during its April 9 meeting, clearing an archaeological review requirement for a proposed accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and garage at the property.
Paul Zink, the project architect, summarized the archaeological findings on behalf of David Stone of Stone Archaeological Consulting, saying the report identified eight prior archaeological studies within a quarter‑mile with negative results and that Dr. Glassow reviewed and concurred with the report’s conclusions and recommendations. Zink told the commission the consultant concluded the “likelihood of finding anything in this project…was minimal.”
No speakers raised concerns about archaeological resources during the public comment period for this item, and staff confirmed the archaeological report was reviewed by the city’s consulting archaeologist. Commissioner Lundbeck moved to accept the report; the roll call vote was unanimous in favor.
What this means: Acceptance of the Phase I report clears the project’s archaeological review requirement. The project itself (site changes, ADU, garage, pool and landscaping) remains subject to separate HLC design review; the archaeology acceptance does not approve construction or demolition of structures.
