Dear Tommy:
We are currently working on a project called the Travertine Specific Plan Project (Project).
The Project is generally bounded by the westerly extension of Avenue 60 on the north;
the westerly extension of Avenue 64 to the south; the southerly extension of Madison
Street on the east; and the southerly extension of Jefferson Street on the west (see
attached vicinity map).
The Project proposes development of 1,200 residential units and 100 hotel units on
approximately 870 acres. The Project’s two major access points are from the westerly
extension of Avenue 62 over the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD)/Bureau of
Reclamation (BOR) Dike 4 and the southerly extension of Jefferson Street south of Avenue
58.
After a few project scope changes, City has the following questions:
1) The Water Supply Assessment, dated February 2018, for this project was approved
by CVWD on March 2018. The land use plan has changed since it was approved
(Attachment 2). Do they need to amend the assessment?
2) Has the Master Drainage Plan (dated 11/10/2020 by Travertine Corporation) been
reviewed and approved by CVWD?
3) Is the alignment shown in the Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) Map (attached)
satisfactory? We want to confirm since the alignment is proposed to cross the
recharge ponds.

4) Can CVWD provide preliminary approval for allowance of discharge of the project’s
flow to the area behind Dike #4?
If you have any questions, please contact me at (760) 777-7067.
Sincerely,
Cheri L. Flores, Planning Manager
Design and Development Department
