for the last six months, and to date, they have finalized and completed their archaeological work,
Noise Study, Photometric Light Study, paid their Fringe -Toed Lizard fees, and have begun
rough grading the site in anticipation of their future building permit. The six foot high wall
along Washington street is currently being built.

Honorable Mayor and City
Council Members
City of La Quinta

La Quinta, CA 92253
Dear Council Members:
Once again the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital is attempting to obstruct
the Desert Hospital project in La Quinta. JFK Hospital was previously
successful in an eleventh hour effort, with others, to convince the City
Council to deny the necessary zoning change that would have allowed the
project to be constructed on the west side of Washington Street just
south of the Catholic church. The La Quinta Planning Commission, of
which I was then and am now a member, had previously approved both the
zoning change and the project.
Fortunately for the City of La Quinta, Desert Hospital came back to the
city with a new application for approval of the project at the site now
covered by Plot Plan 91 -473. The Planning Commission and the City Council
subsequently approved the project.
The City Planning Commission at a Public Hearing held on February 9,
1993, unanimously approved this extension of time.
You have in your possession a staff report from the Planning and
Development Department which answers in great detail the points raised
by JFK Hospital in its desire to obstruct and delay this worthwhile
project. The staff report recommends your approval of the one year
extension.
At a time when health care for all is one of our nations leading problems
it is deplorable that this kind of stalling tactic should continue to
surface. We must face up to the need to provide adequate health care
at a reasonable cost. It is a well accepted economic axiom that the
elimination of competition is no way to lower the cost of any product
or service.
JFK Hospital should not be allowed to prevail in what appears to be a
blatant effort to stifle this project by raising spurious objections
that can only be classed as frivolous red herrings.
This project, as well as others, in the Washington Square Development
will have to comply with Federal, State, County and City environmental
laws as well as the city's noise standards and traffic regulations.
I respectfully urge the City Council to approve the one year extension
of time for the Desert Hospital Project.
Sincerbly,
H. Fred Mosher
