    HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. 7578 El Cajon Boulevard La Mesa, CA 91942 619.462.1515 tel 619.462.0552 fax www.helixepi.com July 7, 2017 Mr. Chris Loughridge CLL-01 CLL-Roselle, LLC 3565 Riviera Drive San Diego, California 92109 Subject: 10325 Roselle Street (Project No. 150566) Cultural Resources Report Addendum Dear Mr. Loughridge: This letter report serves as an addendum to the cultural resources report Archaeological Resources on a Lot on Roselle Street, San Diego, California by G. Timothy Gross (May 2009) and the addendum to that report, prepared by Mary Robbins-Wade of HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) in January 2015. This letter report was prepared in response to a request from City of San Diego (City) staff that an archaeologist and a Native American monitor assess the current condition of the cultural resources within the project site. The proposed project design has not changed since the 2009 submittal. Site conditions within the project footprint have not changed, and the proposed data recovery plan is still adequate to mitigate potential project impacts, as described below. BACKGROUND The Roselle Street project (project) is located within the significant archaeological and cultural resource site known as Ystagua (CA-SDI-4609). The property is located on Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley, in the City of San Diego, in western San Diego County. The parcel is on the alluvial flats along Carroll Canyon Creek in Soledad Canyon, at the end of Roselle Street, although some of the steep valley wall is included in the eastern portion of the property, as well. On July 23, 2009, the project property was designated by the City’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) as HRB Site #924, Village of Ystagua Area #1.
  • Glossary Glossary

    Glossary Glossary

    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

    CORFU GREECE orfu Island, an area ap prox­­imately 18 Cmiles wide and 36 miles long, is the sec- ond largest of the Ionian Islands and, with 150,000 inhabitants, it is the most densely populated. Situated in the north Ionian Sea, it is both the most north erly and most westerly point of Greece. The greenest of the Greek Is- lands with lush vegetation, it is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful. Over four million olive trees grow on the slopes of the semi-mountainous terrain, and olive oil exportation is one of the Island’s largest indus- tries.

  • Sky and Telescope

    Sky and Telescope

    SkyandTelescope.com The Lunar 100 By Charles A. Wood Just about every telescope user is familiar with French comet hunter Charles Messier's catalog of fuzzy objects. Messier's 18th-century listing of 109 galaxies, clusters, and nebulae contains some of the largest, brightest, and most visually interesting deep-sky treasures visible from the Northern Hemisphere. Little wonder that observing all the M objects is regarded as a virtual rite of passage for amateur astronomers. But the night sky offers an object that is larger, brighter, and more visually captivating than anything on Messier's list: the Moon. Yet many backyard astronomers never go beyond the astro-tourist stage to acquire the knowledge and understanding necessary to really appreciate what they're looking at, and how magnificent and amazing it truly is. Perhaps this is because after they identify a few of the Moon's most conspicuous features, many amateurs don't know where Many Lunar 100 selections are plainly visible in this image of the full Moon, while others require to look next. a more detailed view, different illumination, or favorable libration.

S&T: Gary The Lunar 100 list is an attempt to provide Moon lovers with Seronik something akin to what deep-sky observers enjoy with the Messier catalog: a selection of telescopic sights to ignite interest and enhance understanding. Presented here is a selection of the Moon's 100 most interesting regions, craters, basins, mountains, rilles, and domes. I challenge observers to find and observe them all and, more important, to consider what each feature tells us about lunar and Earth history.

    In Focus: Corfu, Greece

    OCTOBER 2019 IN FOCUS: CORFU, GREECE Manos Tavladorakis Analyst Pavlos Papadimitriou, MRICS Director www.hvs.com HVS ATHENS | 17 Posidonos Ave. 5th Floor, 17455 Alimos, Athens, GREECE Introduction The region of the Ionian Islands consists of the islands in the Ionian Sea on the western coast of Greece. Since they have long been subject to influences from Western Europe, the Ionian Islands form a separate historic and cultural unit than that of continental Greece. The region is divided administratively into four prefectures (Corfu, Lefkada, Kefallinia and Zakinthos) and comprises the islands of Kerkira (Corfu), Zakinthos, Cephalonia (Kefallinia), Lefkada, Ithaca (Ithaki), Paxi, and a number of smaller islands. The Ionian Islands are the sunniest part of Greece, but the southerly winds bring abundant rainfall. The region is noted for its natural beauty, its long history, and cultural tradition. It is also well placed geographically, since it is close to both mainland Greece and Western Europe and thus forms a convenient stepping-stone, particularly for passenger traffic between Greece and the West. These factors have favored the continuous development of tourism, which has become the most dynamic branch of the region’s economy. Island of Corfu CORFU MAP Corfu is located in the northwest part of Greece, with a size of 593 km2 and a costline, which spans for 217 km, is the largest of the Ionian Islands. The principal city of the island and seat of the municipality is also named Corfu, after the island’s name, with a population of 32,000 (2011 census) inhabitants. Currently, according to real estate agents, foreign nationals who permanently reside on Corfu are estimated at 18,000 individuals.
