10 <br /> Staff recommendation: <br /> Staff believes that the work proposed in the project application as submitted complies with and is congruous <br /> with the Design Standards for Orange County Local Historic Landmarks, with the following recommended <br /> conditions added to address two issues not fully covered in the application materials: <br /> Historic landscape and plantings: Preserve significant plantings and site features to the fullest extent <br /> possible. Seek the advice of a historic landscape design professional to provide guidance on how to <br /> protect site features and plantings from damage during or as a result of construction activities. Chatwood <br /> still retains portions of its significant mid-201h century designed colonial revival landscape designs as well <br /> as earlier plantings and site features like the historic road. (Design Standard 11-A-3:Maintain historic site <br /> features and plantings through appropriate methods) <br /> Archaeological resources: Make provisions to allow for the discovery of potentially significant <br /> archaeological features that may be uncovered during the course of the work, particularly as excavations <br /> are made for new footings. The site at Chatwood has a long history and presents a high probability for <br /> the discovery of archaeological finds. Workers should be instructed to be watchful for below-ground <br /> features. Consult with the staff of the HPC in the event that features are located, to develop a plan for <br /> documenting any such features or artifacts. (Design Standard 11-F-7: Record archaeological evidence <br /> that is uncovered during site work if the resources cannot be preserved in place) <br />
