Mr. Petri presented the Committee with pictures of a wall he claimed was located on City property that was falling down and the landscaping was not maintained. Mr. Petri stated that he had reported this to the City Manager, the Mayor, the Planning Department, and the person in charge of landscaping the area. The wall is in close proximity to Mr. Petri's property. He said the wall was becoming a fire hazard. He presented pictures to the Committee showing there was no landscaping, debris had collected all around the yard, and pipes were exposed. Mr. Petri said he lived right across the street from the Vista Dunes Courtyard Homes located on the north side of Miles Avenue, west of Adams Street. He stated that he had been told that the City could not do anything about the unmaintained property, but yet Vista Dunes' landscaping was taken care of. Mr. Petri informed the Committee that Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 he would like the City to take care of the wall and nuisance landscaping because if it fell down it would fall on his property. Planning Manager David Sawyer informed Mr. Petri that the Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee did not have any responsibility or authority over the issue he presented. Mr. Petri asked who would be the responsible party to address this issue. Planning Manager Sawyer replied he would need more detail regarding the property and its location. He invited Mr. Petri to stop by the Planning Department counter after the meeting so staff could obtain the necessary information from Mr. Petri and address the problem.

BUSINESS ITEMS: 2 Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 A. Final Landscaping Plans 2008-041 a request of The Quarry at La Quinta for the review of final landscaping plans for the expansion of a maintenance facility located north of Tom Fazio Lane and south of Cahuilla Park Road within the Quarry at La Quinta. Principal Planner Andrew Mogensen presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning Department. Present were Luke Taylor, Architects, Inc. and Charles with Design Build Structures, f Designer" ith RGA Landscape W. Morbride,-,Principal Architect Committee Member Rookery to remove the existing Oldand replied that Oleanders are a p and people and the City usually Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked the applicant why the plans did not show the Oleanders removed. Mr. Luke Taylor replied that he did not realize there were Oleanders around the entire property. The applicant had already planned on removing the Oleanders along Cahuilla Park Road because the plants did not blend in well with the designed landscaping. 3 Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked if the applicant would comply with staff's condition to remove the Oleanders on Tom Fazio Lane. Mr. Charles McBride explained the removal of the Oleanders was not reflected on the plans because he did not remember the condition. Since he was now aware of it, he would ensure the applicant complied with the condition. Committee Member Rooker said Oleanders were typically used along the freeway and were not the apprporiatq plant species to use for the entrance of a high -end development on Tom Fazio Lane. r Committee Member Fitzpatrigkk-vented to' ,firm that the applicant and staff had rime to an agr6blmoj t on the enhancement of the maidteriance f�ilding landsWing along Cahuilla Park Road and Tom `Ftkzlq,L ne3:.

AYES: Committee Member Fitzpatrick and Rooker. NOES: None. ABSENT: Committee Member Arnold. B. Final Landscaping Plans 2008-043 a request of Washington 111, Ltd. (Bill Sanchez) for the review of final landscaping plans for Phase 4 of the Washington Park Shopping Center located on the northeast corner of Washington Street and Avenue 47. Principal Planner Andrew Mogensen presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning Department. Present was Mr. Luke Taylor, Designer with RGA Landscape Architects, Inc. Committee Member Rooker asked staff if the revised plans should show the water features as removed. Staff replied the water features had been removed from the drawings. 4 Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked staff why the applicant had not indicated the hanging, or climbing, landscaping on the retaining walls as conditioned. Principal Planner Mogensen replied that it was merely an oversight by the landscape architect. Mr. Taylor explained he did not realize there was a retaining wall on the back of Cahuilla Park Road and that was what the condition referenced. He said the applicant would comply with the condition. Committee Member Fitzpatrick expressed concern regarding the Planning Commission's position on water features. He elaborated that developments posed intrusions on the environment. He added the least we could do was try to soften it by adding nice landscaping a drwgter features because where there was water, there was I f Committee Member Fitzpatrick said water features woula'roolce the4oposed shopping center more people -friendly.'

Committee Member Rooker he concurred with Committee Member Fitzpatridk :end asked about the proper protocol to inform the "-,Planning CSq'nmission of the ALRC's position. jarini,ng:/Director Les Johnson replied the appropriate way to addrr`the Committee's concern would be during the Joint Meeting with City Council on November 25, 2008. He also mentioned that he could look into a joint meeting between the Architecture and Landscape Review Committee and the Planning Commission during which such concerns could be addressed. He said he would add their concerns, under Director's Comments, in an upcoming Planning Commission meeting. 5 Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 Planning Director Johnson commented that during the last Planning Commission's position was that it was not opposed to water features, but wanted them to be well thought out, from the standpoint of conservation. The Commission would not favor large pools of water resulting in high evaporation when it was one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit outside. However, a creative approach to water features such as smaller pumps with water trickling down, versus large pumps with water spraying up, would be acceptable. The Planning Commission's position was based on I,tJN6 Minimal potential benefit provided by water features #& the general public in comparison to the great amounts of, energy and water consumed. Unfortunately, this posion .#ormed based on other projects and in particular%'to--Water feature placed at the entrances of developments in which the residenfs.ta ver had any direct connectivity, but o6ty "a rem visual ref ce while driving through. This led to th`e.�lan4et proach of%considering water features on a case-by�c�aae basis. However, the Commission did alliTp a the Shoppes `tr "La Quinta development to keep three out of thtii; r wvater featut� .,proposed, though the Commission asked the deveir%per to coie�back with a revised well thought out efficient dedijn'. - Comni'ittee'Me V )bar Fitzpatrick asked if he could make a motion to �ivp emmen4 approval 4"-Fipal Landscaping Plans 2008-043 with the, ti,plul ci .for the 'water feature to be considered for p Tq=%Tatement,by tite I trrting Director. Planning ''', Direbt& .'Johnson said the Site Development entitlem6nii', had )b6en approved. Staff could only report the � 'Committee $ concerns to the Planning Commission. He could q# adminiratively reinstate it as the Planning Commission had a dy rated on it. Committee Member Rooker also commented that a joint meeting between the Architecture and Landscape Review Committee and the Planning Commission would be a very good opportunity for a discussion the use of turf and water features. Committee Member Rooker said he was pleased with the exhibits provided which showed the entire neighborhood, how the parking lots meandered and connected to one another, as well as all of the adjacent buildings. He said this additional ri Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 information was very helpful to him in reviewing the plans and he would like to see the same information being provided for future projects. Further, the architecture at the northeast corner of Washington Street and Avenue 47 was very sensitively done. He hoped the Fresh & Easy grocery store at the northeast corner of Calle Tampico and Desert Club Drive would reflect the same sensitivity. There being no further questions, it was moved and seconded by Committee Members Fitzpatrick/Arnold to adopt Minute Motion 2008-022, recommending approval of Final Landscape Plans 2008-043, as recommended, with the understanding that the Committee was concerned over the Planning Commission's decision to remove the water feature. Unanimously approved. C. Final Landscaping Plans 2008-042 a request of R. T. Hughes Company, Inc. for the review of final landscaping plans for Malaga Estates, Tentative Tract Map 33597, located on the southwest corner of Avenue 60 and Madison Street. Assistant Planner Eric Ceja presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning Department. Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked if the Committee could review the project and make a recommendation on it without the applicant being present at the meeting. Staff replied the Committee could review it. Committee Member Rooker said he did not see any problems with the project. Committee Member Fitzpatrick commented on the water feature proposed on this project because it was not interactive and its sole purpose was to enhance the look of the community. Planning Director Johnson explained this was the project that brought the matter of water -efficiency forward and City Council asked staff to establish standards for water features. This was a subsequent action to the appeal being considered by Council who did not uphold the decision of the Planning Commission to remove the water feature because there were no established standard. Concurrently, staff had received and was processing 6 Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 CVWD's water -efficient landscaping provisions. The proposed CVWD ordinance came on the heels of the Malaga Estates landscaping in regards to turf and water features. This was one of the reasons why La Quinta's Water -Efficient Landscaping Ordinance was more conservative than the CVWD's ordinance. Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked what was the City Council's vote on the appeal. Planning Director Johnson replied he could not recall exactly, but he believed that it was unanimous in overturning the Planning Corf mi ion's decision. Committee Member Fitzpatrick said, presentation materials and exhi ' visualization of how everything;wot he drove through the project, construction and he coui get product would be. He could nt}t�ge� buildings, or what kind of mate4f., placement. This rrs e it difficult ft judgment on the pro e' %Xtouild like to have more Cvith p#! "Rcts as it aids in I come' ft}ther.

Neither' ciould Pderstand what type of homeowners the developer, was targeting and why there were only 57 units -identified.) r ing Oirector Johnson replied that staff would try to answer the``Ggtit'aimittee s questions to the best of their ability; however, it wAs important to keep in mind that these were Final Landscaping Plans which were the end of the process. The map, which had already been approved, was presented to the ALRC at that time. Committee Member Fitzpatrick said he wanted to obtain some background information on the project. Planning Director Johnson commented that historically there was a ten-year Committee Member on the ALRC who could update the other 8 Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 members on the history. Currently the Committee was faced with the challenge of reviewing projects that had been presented a year or two prior to their term. Planning Director Johnson provided the Committee with the requested background information on the project at hand. Committee Member Fitzpatrick said he would preferred to have seen what the proposed elevations were and the landscaping at the front. He expressed his confusion as to why the turf restrictions were being applied to somf prftcts and not to others. Planning Director Johnson eined the reason was because this project was entitled 1'cior''.1t the current water - efficiency provisions and the ,appl cant plied with the provisions in place at that time/ Committee Member Arpbftsked �`if the Co" tee was recommending approval of the entire -final lands ping plans.

Unanimously approved. VI. CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL: None VII. COMMITTEE MEMBER ITEMS: Committee Member Fitzpatrick said he received an e-mail from staff requesting Committee Members to forward suggestions for discussion at the Joint City Council Meeting on November 25, 2008. Unfortunately, he was out of town and did not get the e-mail until after the due date. He asked staff if there were any items that the Committee needed to be aware of to discuss with City Council. G Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 Planning Director Johnson said the actual agenda items would have to be established. He was reviewing suggestions and would present a list to the City Manager for consideration. He said common-themed suggestions would be consolidated and staff would prepare reports for those items consisting of a few descriptive paragraphs. That helps keep the discussion focused as there is only forty-five minutes available for discussion. Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked if the Committee had the full forty-five minutes with the Council. Planning Director Johnson explained the protocol for the meting. Committee Member Fitzpatrick said he had been asked by some residents, the reason for some median strips to be completed and others half finished, or abandoned. He asked staff who would address such issues and if the medians were a shared responsibility of the City and the County. Planning Director Johnson replied there was no one authority responsible for medians and it depended on the location of the median. He presented the example of the section of Monroe Street where Committee Member Fitzpatrick resided. He said the median was a shared * nsibility between the County of Riverside and the City of La mta �he median on Avenue 52 between Madison and Monroe r;-ts,was'o shared responsibility between the Cities of Indio and La Quints: "PIa `-0,Ing ,Director Johnson said in both situations the Cit - A�a­.Quinfa lead beer,, a --4 of the neighboring jurisdictions with irxi'rr6vePne.Fti4,whi6F#"t,reated some issues. He gave the example of the Avenue 52 ;; ian in fiivnt of one of the projects on the La Quinta *,do. there is 6\��ncreto extruded curb and the other side, which is and j`.a different urisdiction, has an asphalt formed curb. This is becad`�the othof jurisdiction was not willing to commit financially and parttplpate)h the improvements when they were being put in. The street,.,tlp'*ovements were mandated by the City of La Quinta from the dj6Geloper through the entitlement process. If the property across the street, under the other jurisdiction, were to develop, that would be when the street improvements would be mandated from the developer by the other jurisdiction. Planning Director Johnson explained that these types of street improvements were managed by subdivision improvement agreements and entered into at the time of the final map approval. The subdivision improvement agreements required the developer to 10 Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 establish bonds and determined a time period for execution and completion of the improvements. However, the time frame could be extended. He said during the last City Council Meeting there were four or five subdivision improvement agreements that had been presented for time extensions. Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked if there was a limit to the number of extensions that could be obtained. Planning Director Johnson replied there was no established limit and it was up to the discretion of the City Council to make that decisipn �'� Committee Member Fitzpatrick asked Market that was continued by the Director Johnson replied there were. was for a Certified Farmers Marklt Sundays, which was approved and,:I November 9, 2008.

He suggested that for that RLC recommendations to be effective the Committee needed to,=r6view the projects early on and not when they were already in the construction drawing phase. Further, he suggested that staff have some architectural design guidelines such as in Old Town. Planning Director Johnson replied that Old Town was a project in The Village and that general design guidelines had already been established for The Village. Those same guidelines were applied to the project located on Desert Club Drive and Calle Tampico and it was found that the project was in conformance with the guidelines. it Architecture & Landscape Review Committee Minutes November 5, 2008 Vill. PLANNING STAFF ITEMS: Planning Commission Update: Planning Manager David Sawyer said the Shoppes at La Quinta project was reviewed by the Planning Commission during the last meeting and recommended approval to the City Council. The project was forwarded to City Council for official approval because of its proximity and height of some of the buildings to the adjao0nit. residential areas. City Council would review the project as a onsent Item unless a Council Member pulled it off calendar, tften it, would have to be reviewed as a Public Hearing item, at(later ddt.e. The Planning Commission recommended approval"f'with consl4er�ation of the comments made by the ALRC, w,iith the exceptiort: of the water feature.

ADJOURNMENT, There being no further business, it was moved and`$econded by Committee Members Fitzpatrick/Rooker to adjourn this meeting,tif the Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee to a Regular Meeting to be held on December 3, 2008. This meeting was adjourned at 11:22 a.m. on November 5, 2008. Respectfully submitted, MONIKA RADEVA Secretary 12 O� �S Cry OF90 BI#A ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE REVIEW COMMITTEE DATE: APPLICANT: LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT: REQUEST: LOCATION: BACKGROUND JANUARY 7, 2009 CITY OF LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY HORTON-SHEPARDSON ASSOCIATES CONSIDERATION OF FINAL LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR THE SILVERROCK CLUBHOUSE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF JEFFERSON STREET AND AVENUE 54 The SilverRock Specific Plan (SRR) designates approximately ten acres for the location of the SilverRock Clubhouse. The Redevelopment Agency (RDA) is in the final stages of completing the landscaping review process. Per the Architecture and Landscape Review Committee (ALRC) meeting of January 2, 2008, in which the schematic design package for the SilverRock Resort Clubhouse was revised, the ALRC is to review final landscaping plans for the development. Project Description: The landscaping plans have been designed to provide a transitional effect between desert landscaping (beginning along the outer edge of the project site) to a desert oasis (the area immediately surrounding the clubhouse) with a large variety of trees, multiple -sized palms, shrubs, and ground cover. Colorful shrubs will be in bloom year- rouhd with winter blooming shrubs such as 'Desert Marigold', 'Copper Canyon Daisy', 'Yellow Bells', Bougainvillea, and other shrubs depending upon weather conditions. Landscaping along the outer perimeter of the site will include trees ranging from 24"- 36" box size and California Fan Palms ranging in height between 12,-18'. The parking lot area will mostly include Chilean Mesquite and Blue Palo Verde, shrubs and accent plants. West and South facing walls will be adorned with 'Bougainvillea Barbara Karst' and North and East facing walls with 'Pink Powder Puff'. The entry/arrival landscaping will include a high canopy of date palms with the focal ooint being the fountain water feature. The courtyard area includes a semi -circular ALRC Staff Report 01 07 09 LANDSCAPING PLANS drive with two planters in the center. One planter will include ornamental plants with the water fountain feature in the center; the other half -radius planter, closest to the entry door to the clubhouse includes 'Mediterranean Fan Palms', a 48" box size 'Blue Palo Verde', and tropical plant materials. The golf cart staging area is designed for day-to-day golf cart use as well as receptions and events. The goal is to create a comfortable canopy within the cart staging area, as well as the other outdoor spaces around the building. A mature date palm layout with fronds touching requires approximately 33' OC spacing. The palms in the cart staging area are spaced 25' apart across the parking and 40' lengthwise. This spacing is based on a number of factors, including creating a symmetrical pattern within the parking area and keeping views from the pro shop and walkways symmetrical as well. Located southwest of the project area is rectangular -shaped event lawn area surrounded by a screen wall to provide an intimate courtyard for wedding, dinners, and special events, at the same time providing a view of the mountains on the south end. The landscaping outside to the North, Northeast, and Northwest will include 24"-36" box size trees such as the 'Blue Palo Verde', 'Sweet Acacia', and 'Chilean Mesquite'. Southwest of the event lawn, the area opens up to a patio that includes 'Date Palms', 'Mediterranean Fan Palms', and a 48" box size 'Blue Palo Verde'. Some of the landscaping surrounding this area will include 'Ballerina India Hawthorne', 'Green Carpet Natal Plum' and 'Varigated Century Plant'. The Northwest and Northeast sides of the screen wall will be adorned with vines. The event lawn area is the only one on the project site that will incorporate the use of three different types of palms such as the 'Mediterranean Fan Palm', 'Date Palm', and a 'Pindo Palm' variety. The lake located on the east end will be an integral part of the golf course irrigation system for both golf courses by providing alternatives to filling the lake system and providing options for circulating water within the lake system. The lake has been designed to provide a visual element as viewed from the clubhouse and number 1 tee of the Palmer Course. The design of the irrigation plans will be to the standards of the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) with no installation of overhead spray irrigation within 24" of sidewalks or curbs. Although the City has adopted a strict water conservation ordinance, turf will be installed but kept to a minimum. Artificial turf was considered, but because of heat gain and the locations being in close proximity to the public viewing, it was concluded that it would be inappropriate for the areas surrounding the Clubhouse. Decorative paving will play an integral role in connecting all aspects of the Clubhouse site, starting with the intersection at SilverRock Way, to the path leading to the courtyard and entrance and the cart staging area. 2 ALRC Staff Report 01 07 09 LANDSCAPING PLANS RECOMMENDATION Review the landscaping plans for the SilverRock Resort Clubhouse and provide comments to the Planning Commission and Redevelopment Agency.
