MAUREEN MENDOZA. 53-960 Avenida Alvarado. member of the Environmental Conservation Committee, encouraged the City to move forward to secure the properties in question as quickly as possible utilizing a method that would not bankrupt the City. SHARON KENNEDY, 77-350 Calle Arroba, member of Environmental Conservation Committee concurred with Mrs. Mendoza, adding that we have a treasure in our backyard and encourage the City to move forward with preserving the mountains and the open spaces. She expressed a willingness to work with the staff in this goal. KATIE BAR ROWS, 53-277 Avenida Diaz, member of the Environmental Conservation Committee, concurred with the previous comments and expressed a willingness to work with the City in preserving the hillsides. Regarding implementation. she wished to see a time frame established. Relative to costs. she felt that the goal can be accomplished without bankrupting the City by working with the various organizations outlined in her report dated 6/12?90. RICHARD MEYER. 83-612 Avenue 145. Suite 6; lndio. advised that he owns Section 29 behind Lake Cahuilla and said that he has been advised that he can do no land planning at this time because a moratorium exists, He noted that 100% of his land is below the toe of the slope and in some cases below sea level. MR. BEAT, 8253 E. Devonshire. Scottsdale. Arizona. representing Richard Meyer. advised that they are in favor of preserving the hillsides but was concerned that Mr. Meyer has gone forward at the establishment of the original hillside ordinance and continued to plan and look forward to developing his property. but he can no longer do that if his property stays under the moratorium. In response to questions. Mr. Beat advised that Mr. Meyer's property is zoned open space and Mr. Kiedrowski advised that they would have development rights under the present zoning. Mr. Beat stated that he has been advised by the Planning Department that his zoning would allow for four units per acre. but that he cannot proceed due to a moratorium. Mr. Kiedrowski believed that the question that needs to be answered to whether or not an individual can submit an application to have his property removed from the open space designation. JACK BECKER, 1607 Acosta Plaza Dr,. Palm Springs. one of the principal owners of the south half of Section 29. asked that they be removed from the open space designation with the thought in mind that the Council would still have the final say in the type of development that goes in. Mr. Kiedrowski pointed out that there currently is no moratorium in place, but the ordinance does state that within the next year. the Council would not approve any developments. but that does not preclude an application being filed. Following discussion. Council Member Sniff made the following motion which was seconded by Council Member Bohnenberger: MOTION to adopt an implementation plan generally outlined by the Environmental Conservation Committee?s July 24. 1990 memorandum as follows: BIB] 02-13-96-U01 11:02:36AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 07-U02 31-U02 1990-U02 BIB] 02-13-96-U01 11:02:36AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 07-U02 31-U02 1990-U02 BIB] 02-13-96-U01 11:02:36AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 07-U02 31-U02 1990-U02 BIB] 02-13-96-U01 11:02:36AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 07-U02 31-U02 1990-U02 City Cou??ci MinuLe? 3 i?July 31. 1?990 1.

Council Member Sniff clarified the final statement advising that it's intent is to not have it appear that the Council has delegated any powers to the Environmental Conservation Committee, that they are strictly to work with staff. Mayor Rena asked members of the Committee present. if they had met as a committee to discuss the recommendation and they advised not. Mayor Pena preferred to delay taking action until the Committee as a whole has an opportunity to review and discuss the proposed motion. He added that most of the items are currently being done. He agreed that we do need to contact all of the property owners and update the maps. Council Member Sniff stated that he was open to modifications, but he felt that it1s important to go forward and make a timely determination for the best interest of both the City and the property owners. Council Member Bohnenberger suggested that since the Environmental Conservation Committee hasn't had a chance to study the motion. that this matter be continued to the next meeting and that the City Clerk type the motion and distribute it to the Council, Planning Commission and Environmental Conservation Committee for input prior to the next meeting. Mr. Kiedrowski noted that in the last 120 days, the Redevelopment Agency has spent 3 1/2 million dollars purchasing land which is open space. so there has been activity. Council Members Sniff/Bohnenberger withdrew their motion.

Kicak Associates proceeded to review the proposed pedestrian and bike path along Bear Creek Channel, which is the western side of a more comprehensive plan around the perimeter of the cove connecting with the La Quinta Hotel area. This portion of the path begins at the corner of Montezuma and Tecate and follows the channel along a berm which is along the channel above the normal maintenance road. It will be 8' wide concrete with a 4' wide jogging path along side. At the southerly section, there are some alternatives where Montezuma separates from Bear Creek Channel. One alternative is to follow the channel or to follow the old creek bed. There are mini-parks proposed at intervals with water facilities. Council Member Sniff suggested that lights be provided for at the mini-parks. AUDREY OSTROWSKI, P.O. 351, La Quinta, stated that this path will impact the homeowners along Montezuma and that the kids will be encouraged to use the pathways for skateboarding. She asked why the residents weren't given an opportunity to participate on a committee to develop this pathway. Mayor Pena pointed out that this is only a conceptual design at this point. Following discussion, Council concurred on the design presented and directing staff to use the old channel where Montezuma separates from Bear Creek Channel.

PUBLIC HEARING ON SPECIFIC PLAN 90-018. TENTATIVE TRACT 26008 AND TENTATIVE TRACT 26009 FOR DIVISION OF 15.4 ACRES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF AVENUE 54. APPROXIMATELY 790' EAST OF MADISON INTO 14 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND FOR DIVISION OF 21.49 ACRES AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF AVENUE 54 AND MADISON INTO 50 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND CONFIRMATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. APPLICANT: VISTA DEVELOPMENT CO. Mr. Sawa advised that the project site. which consists of 40 acres within Annexation 5 at the northeast corner Madison and Avenue 54. It is proposed to be subdivided into two subdivisions of varying land use densities. A specific plan application has been filed to allow the westerly tract 26009) at a slightly higher density 2.33 du/a) than allowed by the existing R-1-20,000 zone. When the easterly tract 26008) is averaged with Tract 26009, the resulting density is 1.13 du/a. which is within conformance. Tract 26009, at the corner of Madison and Avenue 54 proposes 50 single family lots averaging 13.939 sq. ft. with access being provided by both Madison and Avenue 54. Tract 26008 proposes 14 one acre single family lots with access only to Avenue 54, The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the Specific Plan and both Tracts. The one item of discussion was the location of the full turning movement or intersection location on Avenue 54. The General Plan indicates that it's desirable to have intersections at 1/4 mile intervals. In this case. with Tract 26008. it's short 260' of the desired spacing, but Engineering staff and Planning staff reviewed this situation and felt it was acceptable. Steve Speer. Senior Engineer. advised that we try to get close to 1/4 mile, but since this is the first turning movement through the median island. the next one would be in excess of 1/4 mile further east. LUKE CRISTE, Terra Nova Planning. representing Vista Development. referred to Condition No. 13 of 26008 and asked that the landscaping be reviewed on a lot by lot basis so that there will be variations, as these are custom lots. He also asked that they be allowed to pay the park fees at the time they pull the building permits instead of at recordation of the map. Regarding Condition No. 44, he advised that they intend to provide retention on the individual lots as well as preservation easements. He asked that the condition be amended to reflect that. Regarding No. 49, he asked that they be allowed stacking of 45'-50' instead of 75' noting that they don't expect that kind of traffic being generated. Mr. Sawa referred to No. 13 advising that staff intends to review the landscaping on a lot by lot basis, but four trees are required. Regarding No. 26, the City's ordinance requires that the park fees be paid at recordation of the map. Regarding No. 44 and 49 Mr. Speer concurred with the stacking request and with an amendment to No. 44 to allow on-site drainage. Regarding Tract 26009, Mr. Criste referred to Condition 18 and believed that it contradicts No. 7 and asked that the last sentence be deleted. Council concurred.

PUBLIC HEARING ON CHANGE OF ZONE 90-057 AND TENTATIVE TRACT 25953 TO ALLOW A CHANGE OF ZONE FROM R-1-11.OOO PD g R-1-12.O00 PD TO R-1 AND A SUBDIVISION OF 38.4 CROSS ACRES INTO 139 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND MISCELLANEOUS LOTS AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF MILES AVENUE DUNE PALMS ROAD AND CONFIRMATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. APPLICANT: THOMAS F. SCHMIDT. Mr. Sawa pointed out the subject site on the map advising that the change of zone would be from R-1-11.OOOPD R-1-12,OOOPD to R-1, which will allow 7,200 sq. ft. lots and have a density of 2-4 du/a. The tract map proposes to divide the site into 139 single family lots. The lots will range in size from 7.200 to 17,300 sq. ft. with an average size of 8,250 sq. ft. The Planning Commission review these applications and have recommended approval with conditions. One condition of significance was modified which involves the northern property line adjacent to La Quinta Palms. The conditions require that 75% of those dwelling units be single story, 20' in height. Since that meeting, the applicant has submitted modified pad elevations for those lots adjacent to La Quinta Palms. Mr. Sawa noted that two letters have been received from Mr. Humberd of La Quinta Palms regarding this tract. In response to Council, Mr. Sawa advised that the streets are public and the lot sizes and over-all density is consistent with surrounding subdivisions. Twenty- five percent of the units along the north property line can be two-story. but there cannot be two-story units adjacent to one another. That would allow for five two-story units. Mayor Pena asked why those two-story units weren't restricted to the interior. Mrs. Moran, Chairman of the Planning Commission advised that two-story units are hot items and they felt that by allowing only 25% and not adjacent to one another, it would still allow the residents tQ have their view corridor. TOM SCHMIDT, 41-995 Boardwalk. advised that the two-story units will be 24' in height whereas the single-story are 20' height. so there isn't that great a difference and did not feel that anyone's view would be obscured. He was willing to eliminate them along the northern boundary if he can place them on the Miles Avenue boundary. Mrs. Morans response to that suggestion was that the City is attempting to keep major arterials from having an appearance of high density.

Juy i. Mr. KiedrOwskj suggested that two of the two-story units could be placed on the two end lots and the extension of the two cul-de-sacs. PUBLIC HEARING OPEN Robert Metkus, 79-295 Sunset Ridge Dr. questioned if a retaining wail is going to be built or are they planning to use the La Quinta Palms garden wail as an abutment; and questioned the drainage of the water against that wall. Bart Ciii. with Advance Engineering, representing the developer, stated that if they put in a retaining wall, those residents would be looking at two wails, therefore. what is being proposed is to either add three or four more courses on the existing wail which will require adding more dirt on both sides of the wall or to build a retaining wall. Regarding drainage, no water will drain to La Quinta Palms, it is all on-site. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED. Council Member Rushworth was opposed to two-story units being along the northern boundary.. he felt tha?they could be absorbed on the interior. Discussion ensued regarding the wall and the two-story units along the northern boundary and the possibility of allowing them on the two end lots. not to exceed 24-feet in height. Council concurred on allowing them on lots 117 and 136 with the other two being allowed on the interior. MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff?Rushworth that Ordinance No. 178 be taken up by title and number only and that further reading be waived. Motion carried unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARING ON TENTATIVE TRACT 26152 FOR RESUBDIVISION OF A PORTION OF TRACT 24230 ON NORTHWEST CORNER OF AVENUE ALIGNMENT AND ADAMS ST. TO INCREASE LOT SIZES AND REDUCE INTERNAL STREET RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND CONFIRMATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. APPLICANT: WILMA PACIFIC. INC. Mr. Nesbitt, Associate Planner, advised that this is actually an overlay tract onto a portion of recorded Tract 24230. This map is necessary jn order to accomplish multiple lot line adjustments and reduced street right of way for the residential single family lot areas. The Planning Commission has recommended approval. Richard Cunderson. with Mainero Associates, representing the applicant, explained the nature of the request and questioned the applicability of Condition No. 7 regarding undergrounding utilities and regarding No. 9, he advised that the entire water system has already been built and questioned the applicability of a. b c; regarding No. 11, he noted Spanos still owns the underlying fee title to the exterior streets they would not be able to dedicate any of the public rights of way since they do not own the property same as the bonding. Mr. Kiedrowski felt that it behooves the purchaser of the majority of the previous tract to work out those differences in their sales agreement he didn't believe the City should remove the condition. Mr. Reynolds advised that we do not have knowledge of agreements between Spanos and this developer and the City needs to make sure its covered and recommended that the conditions stand as recommended. Bill Storm, with Wilma Pacific stated that he wasn't sure they could meet all of the requirements as they do not own all of the property referred to. Council recommended that Wilma Pacific work out these details with Spanos and that if a modification needs to be made, that they come back to the Council without having to go to the Planning Commission.
