continued your case in'order to allow your development, team
time to evaluate the following issues prior to your January 14,

1. Can the Applicant meet the one story height provision of
the City's General. Plan on Washington Street?
2. Examine the front'yard setbacks on both primary street
frontages and their relationship to the' project and to
abutting .properties (e.g. approved projects, existing
projects, etc.). F
3. Review the on -site parking needs of;- the project and
determine if shared parking arrangements can be allowed.
4. ..'Is the off -site storm water plan, as,proposed by the
developer, adequate?
:- Is this project too.intense-for the site?
6. Are ,the aesthetics of the project adequate for this
primary corner of the City?
-7. Is the parking structure necessary and if so, can the
project designer reevaluate its bulkiness and location on
the property? Can the height of -the structure be reduced?
8. Can the architect examine further. ways to create "view
corridors" through the ..project which enhance the
character of the development?

Dear Mr. Bohnenberger:
I would like to take this opportunity to express to you the
desire of the developer of the Simon Plaza project to work with the
City in an atmosphere of congenitally and cooperation.
We have recently spoken to some members of the City. Council
and the Mayor about our project. In the spirit of cooperation, we
have made significant adjustments in the building heights of the
building attached to the parking structure on Washington Street and
the office building on Simon Drive. We,feel these modifications are
very attractive and are sure you will find them attractive as well.
I am pleased to learn that you will visit with Mr. John Sanborn
who is our Civil Engineer on the project and who has been closely
associated with us for a number of years. I am confident that he
will convey to you the time and effort which we have expended to work
with the City Staff to develop 'a magnificent and truly attractive
entrance to the City of La Quinta. 0ur project, we think, gives the
City the opportunity for a win,win situation where we can dedicate
the additional right-of-way required for the traffic lane and comply
with the Washington Street Corridor Plan.
I hope you will take the opportunity to view this project as
we do --taking a very expensive and vital corner and developing it
into a project we can all be proud of. In -order to accomplish this,
and provide for traffic projections, we need a spirit of cooperation
between the City and the developer. To this end, we extend our hand.

Dear Mr. Pead:
This letter is to notify you that we will be unable to place your development case(s)
on the Planning Commission meeting of October 22nd, since we have not received
your proposed traffic study and hydrology study which meet the needs of our
Engineering Department. If the reports were received today, there would not be
sufficient time for City Staff to review both documents and generate recommendations
to the Planning Commission.
In addition, Caltrans would not have sufficient time to review your traffic study.
The District 11 staff in San Diego has requested that we allow them adequate time to
review and/or comment on your traffic study prior to action by our Commission.
Therefore, it is necessary that we notifying you that your cases will be continued
to November 26th.
This date, however, is subject to receiving comments from Caltrans independent of
our Staff review. It might be beneficial to have your traffic consultant, met with,
or call Mr. Bill Dillon, Chief System Planning Branch of Caltrans as soon 'as possible.
His phone number is 619-688-6968.

Dear Fred:
}
Pursuant to your request, the Community Development Department has •
reviewed both of your proposed revisions to the road design at the
Highway 111/Washington Street intersection. The City appreciates
your efforts in preparing —alternative designs for the area which
take into consideration both your concerns about additional
right-of-way and community concerns relating to, traffic safety.
With regards to the designs proposed by Sanborn/Webb, they represent
'acceptable design possibilities for the Washington' Street corridor
near the Highway 111 intersection. Each generally provides for
adequate capacity and uses accepted traffic design standards. Each
would also be considered as consistent with the adopted Washington
Street 'Specific Plan.
You should be aware that it was not the purpose of the Washington
Street Specific Plan to select a precise road design and no such
design has been determined at this time: .The Specific Plan was
intended to provide general design.and right=of-way criteria for
the corridor and any number of design alternatives, including those
prepared by Sanborn/Webb, will be considered in the upcoming phases
of plan implementation. While it is premature •to select a particular
design at this time, please•be assured that it is certainly the
City's intent to minimize potential,right-of-way acquisition to give
due consideration to existing improvements, to carefully evaluate
impacts on affected property owners and to minimize road improvement
costs in the ultimate improvement of this important road corridor.
The City•is currently preparing a precise alignment study and a
financing feasibility study and; following that, experts to prepare
improvement -plans in its efforts to improve the Washington Street
corridor to at least a four -lane condition as soon as possible.
In the event that your desire to secure approvals for and develop ,
the Washington Street frontage parcels would occur prior to the
completion of these studies, the City will attempt to resolve the
•

precise design issues as part of any development application that
would be submittedfor the affected. parcels. It is expected that the
general comments on the Sanborn/Webb revisions would provide adequate
guidance to prepare,site development designs suitable for submittal.
In preparing those -plans, you should feel free to work with Larry
Stevens, Community Development Director, and Bob Weddle, City
Engineer, inorder to.minimize the impact of changes that typically
occur through the development review process.
It is hoped that this response givesyou adequate assurance that we
can work in concert in resolving mutual concerns along this very
important corridor. I believe that we can achieve our common goals
best by continuing to work together. Your interest in resolving any.
differences and continuing to progress towards mutually acceptable
solutions is appreciated.

Re: Widening 'of Washington Avenue
Dear Mayor Pena:
Pomona First Federal has received copy of the
plans submitted on -behalf of Simon Motors, Inc. in regard
to the proposed Washington. Avenue widening. Although this
would still have a detrimental affect on our property, it
is much more Acceptable than the previous action taken'by
the City. It appears, that the Groves traffic study, includ-
ing projections for traffic tht.ough-:the year 2035,-is,more
realistic than other reportsreceived.by the City.
The Plan submitted by Mr.;Simons substantially re-.
duces the cost to the city and permits property usage which
would result in additional taxes for the city. . It also
renders our property as being immediately usable rather.than
unuseable as will result under your present plan and would
result in a lower acquisition costs..
Our Board.of Directors has not had a meeting to discuss
the amended plan submitted by Mr. Simon, but.I feel confident
that it will meet with much more approval by the Board than
the. present plan.
Thanking you in advance for consideration of the pro-
posed plan by the La Quinta City Council, I remain

Enclosed is a work -up that Mr. John Sanborn has completed'
after visiting with Judith Cox and Larry Allen of the City
Council, and Larry•Stevens of your -Planning Department. The
plan submitted to you on June 13, 1986,�revised the original
plan developed by B.S.I. and your Planning Department, which
severely cut the property on the corner of Washington and
Highway 111. After submitting our revision and attending
the projected traffic study by the Groves, Mr. Sanborn and
Mr. Selzer visited with the three individuals mentioned
above, and from their discussions, Mr. Sanborn made_severai'
additional revisions which show adaquet lanes to accept the
traffic patterns as outlined in_his correspondence dated
June 24, 1986, a copy of which is attached along with revision.
number 2 by the property owners.
I think this plan makes alot of sense because the median'
islands are sufficiently wide at six feet, and would seperate
the traffic patterns adaquetly. The end results:are that less
property is needed to accomodate the traffic patterns than on
our first revision and therefore less cost to the City would`
be necessary in acquiring this land.
Even with this. revision, Pomona 1st Federal would. lose
4050 square feet and 3S,loses 6400 square feet, in comparison
to the original plan submitted and approved by the City.Council
which would be well over an acre or.close to 50,000 square
feet.
I hope you will all take this into consideration and allow
us to discuss this matter with you if there are any additional
questions.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir:

PONTIAC
This letter"is to. confirm our telephoneconversation of June
12, 1986, relative to the changes adopted on the corner of Highway
111 and Washington Street, that have taken such a large protion of .,
the land from the East side of the corner, that itrenders the
parcels owned by Pomona 1st Federal, unbuildable. It also severely
disects the parcel owned by 3S on the corner of Simon Drive and'
Washington Street, which again would make it questionable as to
whether or not -'it would be useable as a commercial site.
I have submitted a revised plan to you that has been worked up
by Sanborn Webb, Inc., which we think works. It also limits the
loss of property to the two owners and would reduce substantially,
the cost of`acquiring the parcels,. by the City of La Quinta, in
order to do the plan that was originally adopted. We have included
a study done by the Groves that was submitted to the City and was
accepted by you as a traffic study for Washington Street. It varies
.quite drastically from the one B. S.I. is now submitting for the
Washington Street corridor. The" groves projection, projects
considerably less traffic than the B. S. I., and we, for' the sake
of common sense, can not see 'Washington Street carrying more:traffic
than Highway 111 in future years, and that in essence, is what their
:study and your planner have done with the configurations on the.
current plan.
Our recommendations have many advantageous po"ints that should
be taken into consideration.
GNIC
TRUCKS'
1) Adequately covers the traffic project for Washington Street.
2) Allows for stacking on the corner.
3) Eliminates severe loss of property by owners of corner._
4). Reduces, cost to City tremendously,
5) Logically allows solutions to problem, so we can proceed
With developing"the corner immediately:
6) With the�corner,developed, we can begin to bring revenue
into the City, rather than taking revenue out of the City's
coffers.
7) Continues to solve the problem for the people at "Point Happy".

All in all, this alternative plan resolves the problem at
"Point Happy". It resolves the problem of traffic stacking.. It
