The goal is to get more stringent control on what comes out of the plant and to get the type of regulations and requirements that come out of the South Coast Air Quality Management District rather than those that come out of Environmental Protection Agency. PUBLIC HEARINGS Mayor Hoyle turned the meeting over the Mayor Pro-Tern Pena as he would be abstaining from this issue due to a conflict of interest as his wife is employed by Landmark Land Company. 1. PUBLIC HEARING ON TENTATIVE TRACT 23292 APPLICATION BY LANDMARK LAND COMPANY TO DIVIDE 95.1 ACRES INTO 193 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND ONE MULTI-FAMILY LOT PORTION OF DUNA LA QUINTA SPECIFIC PLAN) BETWEEN AVENUE 50 & CALLE TAMPICO EXTENSION, AND CALLE RONDO AND ADAMS STREET ALIGNMENT. b. CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATION OF TECHNICAL TRAFFIC COMMITTEE REGARDING TRAFFIC STUDY IN THE AREA OF AVENUE 50 AND PARK AVENUE. Mr. Crump, Planning Director, presented staff report advising that Landmark Land Company, Inc., the applicant, wishes to subdivide 95.1 acres between Avenue 50 and Calle Tampico extension, and Calle Rondo and Park Avenue alignment into 193 single family lots for sale and one multi-family lot. The proposed map shows a density of 2.46 dwelling units per acre with lot sizes averaging 9,000 sq. ft.. Lot 194 which is the multi-family lot consists of 3.7 acres and will be developed at 10 units per acre. The development will be processed in five phases. The development will have on-site drainage retention and one main entrance from Park Avenue and emergency access to Calle Rondo. Mr. Crump then briefly reviewed the analysis of this map pointing out that it is within the Duna La Quinta Specific Plan. With regard to the requirement for a neighborhood park, the applicant proposes to satisfy that condition with a park elsewhere. There is a possibility of developing parts of the storm water system into a lineal park. BIB] 02-23-96-U01 11:02:47AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 05-U02 03-U02 1988-U02 City Council Minutes Page 3 May 3, 1988 The Planning Commission considered this map at a public hearing conducted on April 12th and has recommended Council approval subject to conditions. Subsequently, the City Engineer has reevaluated some of the street improvement conditions based upon meetings with the developer which are contained in the staffs report. In answer to questions by Council, Mr. Crump advised that there were no comments received regarding the relationship between the location of the multi-family lot and the school. With regard to the park, the range is five to ten acres and the subdivision regulations give the Council the authority to determine the value of the park land. Typically, it?s a value based on the development site plan. Regarding perimeter landscaping within the set-back, that area will be landscaped, but a plan has not yet been submitted. The height of the buildings will be limited to two stories or 35'. Mr. Reynolds, Public Works Director, proposed a compromise with regard to off-site improvements, to substitute putting in 3/4 width improvements on Tampico between Washington and Rondo and put in full width improvements in the curve section of Park Avenue that will connect to Avenue 50 across the street from existing Park Avenue. He noted that the right of way exists. To get this entire width improved at this time, he believed that it's prudent to hold of f on the full width improvement of this until such time as other developments take place. Other developments will take place on Tampico. CVWD has plans for a water line that will go down Tampico as well as Storm drainage and sewers. With regard to Lot 194, Mr. Reynolds advised that the Technical Traffic Committee recommends that a traffic study be undertaken to consider the possibility of signalizing the intersection of Avenue 50 and Park Avenue as well as access to Avenue 50 from the multi-family lot. Said study is estimated to cost $8,000 of which Landmark Land Company has been requested to contribute one-fourth the cost. Further, he presented a revised Condition 4C with regard to access rights from Lot 194 to Avenue 50 which is on file in the City Clerk's Office. In response to Council, Mr. Reynolds advised that On-site retention represents the lakes and fairways the water will eventually get to the storm channel. Regarding access, the main access is on Park Avenue with an emergency access on Calle Rondo pending the Traffic Study), which he believed to be adequate and has been approved by the Fire Marshal. He also noted that there is a bike path planned as part of this development in order to avoid the Avenue 50 and Washington intersection for access from the Cove to the school and sports complex. If access is provided from Avenue 50, it would only be for Lot 194.

JOHN CURTIS, Project Engineer, addressed the Council stating that they believe that this project meets a marketing need. All homes will have fairway It will be completed in four phases with phase 5, the multi-family lot. He then proceeded to suggest some revisions to Conditions 4f; 4g; and 22c. Then with regard to 4c, he advised that the Fire Marshall has requested an access of f of Avenue 50 as well as the other two proposed. Mr. Curtis then asked for consideration of that access, pointing out that Lot 194 will result in approximately 430 trips per day on a street with a capacity when built out) of 24,000, which represents less than 2% of the traffic. He also noted that there is a potential for 13 access points on Avenue 50 between Washington and Jefferson. Their project encompasses 550' of frontage on Avenue 50. The land plan indicates that this access will only serve Lot 194 and not the remainder of the tract. Council Member Bohnenberger asked if he has reviewed the City Engineer's proposal for Condition No. 4c language and Mr. Curtis advised that they believe that the project should have access to Avenue 50 and believes that they are not compromising a restricted access road by asking for it, nor sensible design standards. He suggested that a traffic study would demonstrate that, but they should be able to go on without the study. Council Member Pena asked if there are plans for a deceleration lane and Mr. Curtis advised not. There being no one else wishing to speak, the hearing was CLOSED. Council Member Bohnenberger noted that the applicant has agreed with most of the conditions the major problem appears to be 4C. Because of the uniqueness and what is occurring in that area, he would prefer the City Engineer's recommendation that a study be undertaken to determine the appropriateness of an alternate access.

It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded by Council Member Cox that Resolution No. 88-33 be adopted. Motion carried unanimously. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS a. Letter from Hanlin and Assoc. regarding installation of block wall along Washington Street in the area of Montero Estates. ROCCO BALSAMO, resident of Montero Estates, addressed the Council representing the homeowners advising that the widening of Washington Street has created a nuisance to the homeowners with regard to safety and noise pollution. He noted that there have been three accidents in that area in the past month. One automobile went through the oleanders. He asked the Council to install a noise abatement wall for the protection of the residents. He presented the Council with a copy of a letter from the City dated February 1966 stating that the City undertook a traffic study which included a noise study which the City staff has been unable to locate. Council Member Cox stated that she recalled the study being done. In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. a1samo advised that the City promised to build a wall at the appropriate time, which they feel is now and that an agreement was approved, which also cannot be located. In conclusion, he noted that La Quinta is only 1/4 developed and as it progresses, there will be more and more traffic and noise on Washington. BIB] 02-23-96-U01 11:02:47AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 05-U02 03-U02 1988-U02 City Council Minutes Page 7 Nay 3, 1988 Mr. Reynolds, City Engineer, explained that in the General Plan, there is a noise study that was diagramed which indicated that at some point there will be a need for noise barriers. The only area where it was specific was in the area of Highland Palms in which it shows a frontage road and a block wall. The traffic counts have not shown a significant increase since the County's counts in 1980-84. Recent traffic counts taken in connection with the Grove Project" indicate that most of the traffic between Eisenhower and Highway ill comes from Eisenhower. Council Member Cox advised that there was a subsequent action with regard to the Montero end of Washington Street. MARGARET MIELE, resident of Montero Estates advised that at the time the study was done, she asked if the development could have the side road back and was told no, but that the City would act. Now, since the three lanes are open, even with markings in the one, people are still using it. Council Member Cox asked if lane delineators could be used to keep vehicles out of that lane. Council Member Pena advised that there have been some discussions in the widening of Washington Street that when it is realigned, there will be 5' of right of way left on the west side, which he suggested could become a landscaped median to provide a buffer. Council Member Bohnenberger suggested that this matter be referred to the City Engineer for a more details on this area and have City Staff come back with findings and recommendations. JACK ABELS, resident of Montero Estates, advised that the present wall is not continuous there are sections of wall and sections of oleanders. Council Member Sniff believed that there is a need to research the files and find out what promises and agreements were made and to have the City Engineer come up with means and alternatives and funding mechanisms to do such a project and report back to the Council in 30 days. JACK HARDIN resident of Montero Estates, reminded the Council that this has been an ongoing problem that is getting worse. The noise level is beyond a healthy situation and proceeded to read a letter he addressed to the City Council on August 27, 1987 asking for the status of this project. Staff was directed to research the records and come back with findings and recommendations in 30 days.

CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT WITH LA QUINTA GOLF ESTATES FOR INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT EISENHOWER AND COACHELLA. Mr. Brandt, City Attorney, presented the Council With a revised agreement with La Quinta Golf Estates for installation of a traffic signal at Eisenhower and Coachella Drive. Council Member Sniff proposed some revisions to the agreement. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Cox, seconded by Council Member Bohnenberger that the agreement be approved per the revisions as suggested by Council Member Sniff. Council Member Pena commented that he lost the battle?' on the signal, but that is not the issue before the Council at this time and hoped that this agreement will benefit the City.

Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 88-68. 2. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH LA QUINTA GOLF ESTATES FOR IMPROVEMENTS ON THE WEST SIDE OF EISENHOWER. Mr. Reynolds, Public Works Director, presented a proposed agreement with La Quinta Golf Estates for improvements made on Eisenhower Drive on the north and west side, which they believed to be beyond their responsibilities, which normally might be constructed by a developer on the other side of the street. Therefore, they proposed that the City enter into an agreement with them for reimbursement of those costs incurred, which are projected to be $180,000. The reimbursement is payable at the time of development of the property running contiguous to the public right of way containing the improved portion of the north and west side of Eisenhower Drive providing it will be legal to do so. In response to questions by Council, Mr. Brandt advised that the City is not committed to reimbursing the funds unless we collect them from a developer so the risk is not on the City. However, there is a need to enact an ordinance with regard to this process. This amount would be over and above any infrastructure fees due on any development as it represents improvements they would have been required to undertake at the time of development. The costs of $180,000 will be audited prior to reimbursement. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Pena, seconded by Council Member Cox that the agreement be approved as submitted subject to review by the City Attorney with a revision that the audit will be performed by City. Motion carried with Council Member Sniff voting NO. MINUTE ORDER NO. 88-69. Council Member Bohnenberger believed that this agreement lives up to the intent of prior discussions. Council Member Bohnenberger was excused at 10:10 P.M.. BIB] 02-23-96-U01 11:02:47AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 05-U02 03-U02 1988-U02 City Council Minutes Page 10 May 3, 1988 3. REPORT FROM PLANNING COMMISSION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION REGARDING DESIGN OF NEIGHBORHOOD MINI-PARK. Mr. Crump, Planning Director, reported that the design approved by the Council on April 5th for the 2 1/2 lot mini-park was reviewed by the Planning Commission on April 12th. They suggested that the combination block wall/fence be replaced with wrought iron or pool fencing painted green which would provide less visual barrier to the interior of the park. Also, incorporate bounds or uneven berms two or three feet high behind the fence; a meandering sidewalk; a structural shelter instead of the trellis; provision of tree-canopy shade on the south and west sides. The Community Services Commission expressed concern about accessibility to the park; need for crosswalks; and minimal level of parking. One Commissioner suggested a barbecue pit; more traditional playground equipment and elimination of the second gate on Eisenhower side). r. Crump advised that Staff has been continuing with refinement of the mini-park and based on the guidance of Council regarding the Commissions' recommendations, staff will finalize the design. The final design will come back to the Council with an environmental evaluation and budget for final action. Council Member Cox questioned the logic of removing the wall and replacing with tubular fencing to create a better visual element and then putting in two to three foot high berms. Mr. Crump responded that the berms would not obscure observation. Council Member Sniff felt that chain link might be better than wrought iron as kids can get their heads caught between the railings. Mr. Crump responded that tubular steel fencing, known as pool fencing would be better and noted that the spacing can be selected so that a head cannot get caught. Council concurred that a would be getting away from the neighborhood mini-park concept; and to not eliminate the gate on Eisenhower; and that City Engineer will study the issue of crosswalks. Council Member Cox recalled that a couple of years ago, when La Quinta Country Club ladies group) was donating money to the City for playground equipment, the money was accepted and put into a separate account because the park was being redone at the time. She questioned if that money was ever used or if it's still being held.

MOTION It was moved by Council Member Sniff, seconded by Council Member Pena that staff be directed prepare a final design of the mini-park taking into consideration the comments made by both the Planning Commission and Community Services COmmiSsion with the exception of those items discussed.

The intersection of Highway 111 and Washington has the most frequent accidents, the majority of which are speed related". Washington and Avenue 50 had 16 accidents. The intersection of Eisenhower and Fernando should improve with the installation of the gates. The worst intersection in the Cove is Avenue 52 and Durango. This map is primarily a tool for the Traffic Safety Committee to work with.
