Dear Ms. Flores:
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. The project is also proposing an emergency route along the southerly extension of
Madison Street, also crossing Dike 4. We understand that for the Avenue 62 crossing
over Dike 4, an SF-299 application is required. Would the same be required for the
Madison Street crossing? Also, regarding the Avenue 62 crossing, the south half of that
roadway is within the County’s jurisdiction. Would the County need to be party to the SF-
299 application as well? And lastly, is National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis
required for these crossings?
