By code and Building Division procedure there should be only one (1) service supplying power at each address, with some exceptions for special circumstances like different voltages, phases, special occupancies, etc. With that being said, this pedestal can not be approved for permanent use as a second service at this same address. You do however have the option to utilize this pedestal as a subpanel supplied by the existing service at this address. It's my understanding that your plan may have been to subdivide this parcel at some point—if when the land is subdivided and separate parcels/addresses are created, we can entertain the proposal for separate services but at this point only one service may be approved for use at this address.

Trailers – I received a proposal from the new architect, Juan Perez, to prepare the necessary drawings (including  structural) for the modular trailers.  Ironically I found Juan as his company’s name was on an old trailer floor  plan I found from group we bought the trailers from.  So he is familiar with the layout as well as the process to  draw the plans and process through both the HUD and City.  We authorized Juan to proceed and there is a lot of  work he needs to perform in order to complete the plan set sufficient for submittal to the HUD.  I also  understand it’s a very arduous and lengthy process with the HUD to get the plans approved, registration and  insignia.      2. Barn / House unpermitted improvements – As part of the scope with Juan he is going to review the architectural  plans and details created by prior architect, make revisions as needed and have his structural engineer create  the necessary structural plans requested by the City.      3. Open Permits  a. Monroe Wall – the completion of the new block wall on Monroe has been delayed due to the conflict  with the existing electric pedestal.  The electric pedestal has been delayed in relocating until our gate  contractor can confirm the new gate does not conflict with the new pedestal location.  We are currently  in the process of replacing our entry gate since the existing gate does not operate in the wind.  Once we  receive confirmation whether or not the new pedestal location is in conflict with the gate we will call for  inspection so the IID may energize and the existing be remove, then finish the wall.  b. Electric Pedestal – same as above  c. Pool – cannot be finaled until the Monroe wall is completed.      Also for reference there are no pending reservations for the property until all items are resolved.  Only my family is using  and enjoying the property.      Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.  I’ll keep you updated on the  progress.      6 Thanks,  Scott     Scott Morrow  Morrow Management  1130 Via Callejon  San Clemente, CA 92673  949/218‐8400 direct  949/533‐5050 cell    CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email including any attachments may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

There are two questions: First, are these tags indicating compliance for COMPONENTS of the trailer or indicating compliance of the entire trailer. Second, are these tags recognized by CA HCD as validation of the compliance requirements for installation in California. Remember, this is a new approval so you will have to show compliance to the latest requirements even though these trailers may be several years old. I suggest going the route of submittal to HCD to see what they say about these tags and go from there.

In California, commercial modular structures like those you have there are typically factory built and bear the insignia of the CA Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the state agency that regulates the construction and certification of factory built housing and commercial structures. Your modular structures, have no such HCD insignia nor were they built with a City of La Quinta building permit to Title 24 standards. Before we consider moving forward with any electric service, you must first provide the proper, recognized HCD compliant modular buildings or submit plans and obtain permits, inspections and approvals for the structures that are currently constructed. As it stands now, you have unpermitted structures and no use or occupancy will be allowed. This information should have been posted on the trailers in the last week by our Code Enforcement team. Regards,   PLEASE NOTE: City Hall will be  closed from December 24,  2018  through January 1, 2019  in observance of the holidays.  Please plan accordingly for any  business needs that might  need to be addressed during this time frame. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to  seeing you after the New Year!    From: Scott Morrow <scott@morrowmgmt.com>   Sent: Friday, December 14, 2018 7:44 AM  To: James Wiatrak <jwiatrak@laquintaca.gov>  Cc: Steve Lazzarini (slazz2018@gmail.com) <slazz2018@gmail.com>; Danielle Morrow <danielle@morrowmgmt.com>  Subject: Morrow ‐ 55075 Monroe St ‐ Trailer Certification    Hi JW,    I met with Steve yesterday and we were discussing the challenges we’re having to get our relocated meter pedestal  energized.  He mentioned the City is requesting a “state certification” on the trailers.  We do not know what that is and  hoping you could help provide some direction.  A quick internet search makes it think it’s a DMV issued Permanent  Trailer Identification certification  (https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/forms/reg/reg4017) but I’m not  sure if this is correct or if there is more to it.  We’ve also reached out to Paula and Roy Ziegler who we purchased the  trailers from to see if they have this information.  If we have to apply through the DMV I’m not sure how long this could  take.      James “JW” Wiatrak, CBO, CASp Building Official ◦ ADA Coordinator Design & Development Department City of La Quinta 78495 Calle Tampico ◦ La Quinta, CA 92253 Ph. 760.777.7023 jwiatrak@laquintaca.gov 10 Is there a possibility that we could energize the relocated meter pedestal and not connect/energize the trailers until the  City receives the requested paperwork?  We’re just in a time crunch to get the new pedestal energized so we can  remove the old pedestal, complete the block wall and receive the pool final inspection.      I also want to note that the architect is nearly finished with the plans for the home and intends to submit both the home  and barn to the City early next week.  I’m looking forward to checking that one off our list.    I look forward to talking with you soon.    Scott     Scott Morrow  Morrow Management  1130 Via Callejon  San Clemente, CA 92673  949/218‐8400 direct  949/533‐5050 cell    CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email including any attachments may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
