Re: City of La Quinta —Tentative Map 30092 — Amendment No- 1
Dear Mr. Wallace:
This letter is in response to your letter of April 25, 2002. As you may recall, I am the
City Attorney for the City of La Quinta. (For future reference, there is no '`Katherine Tenson.")
I am most easily reached at the above address and telephone number.
You and I spoke by telephone on March 5, 2002, prior to the public hearing on the above-
referencQ,d matter that was scheduled that evening before the Ciry Council- For your
information, the matter had not been appealed to the Council. Instead, tentative map decisions
automaticall conl.e before the Council after Planning Commission action. As you know, prior to
the M•arcb 5' meeting, the City bad received a letter from the property owners stating that Barton
Properties was not authorized to process the map application. AT the March 5"' public hearing,
Mr. Thomas Martone requested- that the matter be continued. The Council, in his presence, voted
unanimously to continue the matter to April 16, 2002,
At the public hearing on April lb, 2002, neither Mr. Martone nor any other representative
of Barton Properties appeared- The Council considered the application and denied it on
numerous grounds. Your client has been provided with a copy ofthe resolution serting fords the
Council's findings.
The La Quinta Municipal Code contains no provision for an applicant to seek
reconsideration of a Council action. The City's sole provision for reconsideration allows a
