Honorable Mayor and Councilmen
The La Quinta Sports and Youth Association representives
recently informally met with Mayor Bob Baler and council-
man Larry Allen concerning our need for land for baseball
fields
We presently use six practice fields on private land, and
we could lose permissive use of these fields at any time
particularly if planned building development were to
commence. We are rapidly growing and have need of additional
fields.
Our program involves over three hundred boys and girls ages
six to sixteen and their families. All our fields are in
use six days a week during baseball season Our program
would seriously be hampered without baseball fields.
It was at this meeting with Mayor Bajer and councilman
Allen that we learned of the councils concern and efforts
to gain land for parks and baseball fields. We wish to
express our concerns, need appreciation nd importance
fpr your concern also.
We wish to cooperate with the council in any way we can
where our needs are mutual in acquiring land for park
development.. We wish to express our concern over the
importance of continued and constant effort in acquiring

Honorable Robert Bajer, Mayor

City of La Quinta
P.O. Box 1504
La Quinta, California 92253
Dear Mayor Bajer and Members of the City Council:
The Executive Committee of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments met
on September 27, 1983 and adopted a resolution which proposes an advisory position
on the issue of the Fringe-Toed Lizard for consideration by your City Council.
Attached is a Copy of that resolution and we would like to respectfully request
that you schedule this item for review by your City Council and refer this issue
to either your Planning Commission and/or staff for further review.
Over three years ago the Federal Government designated the Coachella Valley Fringe-
Toed Lizard as a threatened species". This designation required the identification
of a critical habitat area which was later identified as some 18 square miles
north of Interstate 10 in the vicinity of 1000 Palms. Federal law imposes restrictions
and severe sanctions for development activity in a critical habitat area. Subsequently,
amendments have been made to federal aw which require federal intervention if
a threatened species" has the possibility of being exposed to harm in areas
adjacent to a crtical habitat area. The implications of these amendments are
that development could be affected in any area of the Coachella Valley where
a Fringe-Toed Lizard> might be found even if those areas are south of Interstate 10
and not in the critical habitat area. Because of these recent developments,
the CVAG Executive Committee was commissioned to study this problem by two of
our technical committees and the result is the adoption of the attached resolution
which provides advice and recommendation to each of the CVAG member agencies
for dealing with this issue in a way that will allow development south of Inter-
state 10 and at the same time mitigate the adverse impact that potentially exists
for the threatened species", the Fringe-Toed Lizard.
The attached resolution especially asks your City to review the possibilities
of implementing a new development fee which could be levied for the purpose of
raising funds which would assist in obtaining and maintaining a desert reserve
or critical habitat area. CVAG recommends that your City identify sand blown
areas within your corporate limits which might be identified as Fringe-Toed Lizard
habitat and consider the possibility of implementing a special development fee
which would help to mitigate the adverse impact on the Fringe-Toed Lizard to
the satisfaction of the Federal Government.
Thank you for reviewing the advisory resolution of the CVAG Executive Conmiittee
relating to the Fringe-Toed Lizard issue and should you require any further information
please do not hesitate to contact the CVAG staff at 619) 346-1127.
truly yours,

funding for the purchase of the reserve area and other planning processes

Fringe-Toed Lizard's potential taking' in the sandy areas south of 1-10.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The norable Mayor and of the City CounCil
From: Sandra L. Bonner, Principal Planner
Date: cber 19, 1983
Subject: TENTATIVE ThACT Na. 14496, Pevised No. 1, A Pequest to Revise a
Previously Approved Map to Allow for Condominium Units; Anden Group,
Applicant
DISCUSS I
Background
The Applicant is requesting approval to revise a portion of the tentative tract map
for the Santa Rosa Qove development. The previous map showed individual lots for
each dwelling. The Applicant proposes to change the unrecorded portions of the
tract to statutory condominiums, whereby only the units or the buildings are sold
while the land rnains in corrron undivided ownership. The revision will apply only
to phases four 4) through seven 7); final maps for the first three 3) phases
have already been recorded.
The purpose of the request is to allow the Applicant rrre flexibility than allowed
by the present tract map. Currently, the lots are approximately the sair size as
the dwellings. enever the DDlicant wishes to build a larger dwelling on the lot
than originally proposed, they must adjust the lot lines to increase the size of
the parcel accordingly. Six lot line adjustrrnt5 have been approved by the City
for this purse. Approval of this revised map will allow the Applicant irre
flexibility in choosing the size of each dwelling and will eliminate the need for
lot line adjustirnts.
The Planrg commission reviewed the proposal at its Cetober 11, 1983 public hearing.
Street Plan
The revised map proposes three 3) changes in the street plan fran the previously
approved tract map. The following are brief descriptions of the changes and
Planning Corroiss ion s recommendation on the proposals.
The cul-sac on Lot l has been changed frn the original tract; the bulb
or turn-around area has been ved frri the end of the street to a point
approxately 250 feet fran the end of the road. The City Fire Marshall has
reviewed the nap and has requested that the bulb be placed at the end of the
street to provide the required turn-around area for fire engines. The Planning

the cule-sac was blocked by an accident or a disabled vehicle, fire hoses

the stids of other cities in the Coachella Valley; Palm Desert and Indio
limit cul-de-sacs to 600 feet, while Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs ljrnit
dead-end streets to 500 feet.
The Applicant 5 representative stated that the City Engineer has agreed to
allow the 856-foot-long cule-sac if an alternate emergency vehicle access
were provided. The Planning rinissi agreed and added Condition er 17
to the conditions of approval requiring a minimum 12-foot-wide emergency
access easement connecting the two culde-sacs Lots F and
The streets on Lots 18 thru 21 have been changed to eliminate one culde-sac
and to provide for riore open space area. The Planruig Occission surted
the proposed street design.
The Applicant's representative also requested that the City delete the City
Engineer's requirement that all street curve radii he a minimum of 100 feet.
The intent of this requirt is that streets with gentler curves with
larger radii) are safer than sharp turns. The Planning ssion determined
that the proposed sharper curves were appropriate for t F", which curves
along the base of a flood control dike and serves only ten houses. However,
the Carmission upheld the City Engineer1 5 requirement for the rnainder of
the streets in the revised subdivision.
Nun)er and Lccation of Units
The total nurrd of units in the entire Santa Rosa Cove develt will be 589,
which is less than the 591 units which were originally approved for the development.
Fgarding the location of the dwellings, the zoning ordinance requires that the
buildings be set back a rrijfljrFrL of 10 feet fran all interior drives and 5 and 10
feet fran all tract boundaries depending on whether it is a side or rear yard
setback). All of the site ist be in compliance with the requireeents
of the zoning ordinance and the approved Exhibit *`D' showing the unit layout.
Additional Crtts
Although it is not a part of this revised tract map, the Applicant has agreed to
install a sidewalk along the west side of Eisenhower Drive fran Avenida Mazatlan
to the southern tract boundary.

Subject: Attached ITQuality of Life! Memo
Attached is a memo from me to you regarding a major pro-
posal I will bring to our October 18th Council
Since the proposed program would represent a big thrust
for community activities and participation, I am sending
copies to the major organizations in our city see list
of cc.s at end of memo & attached cover-letter). I feel
it would be helpful to us to know how people feel about
this.
I truly hope that each one of you will support this pro-
gram and make it a major, priority thrust of the Council.
Should you decide positively, I would recommend that we
remain actively involved. Perhaps each one of us could
be involved with a couple lements of the program, or
at least monitor them.
Hopefully, we can put politics and personalities aside
and just focus on providing some worthwhile improvements
for the people who live in our city. Please, letts work
together on this.
This cover memo is for the four of you and Frank and Ann
only.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Doug Brown, Community safety Coordinator
Date: October 13, 1983
Subjeci: Approval Request for Purchase of One 1) Light Duty Trailer
In order to save time and money in using a single vehicle
for both animal control work and for street maintenance we have
come to the conclusion that a light utility trailer would be
very useful.
The animal control cage can be left on the bed of the
pick-up truck at all times. This facilitates a faster response
for animal control calls. The utility trailer would be towed
behind the truck and would be capable of hauling all of the
necessary supplies for street maintenance work.
The price of a factory built trailer, from U-Haul, for
example, would be around $10Q. The trailer we would like
approval to purchase will cost us $450. It is a used trailer
but it is in very good condition. We would like to request an
additional $200 for re-painting, re-wiring the lights, and making
some minor modifications so that it will better serve our needs.
We would especially like to have this trailer on-line
and ready for use during the Community Cleanup Day on October 29.

From: Phil Coggins, Building Official
Date: October 13, 19S3
Subject: REQUEST FOR APPROPRIATICN OF FUNDS TO BE OCATED TO TIjE BUIlDING
DEPARTN FOR OF UNSAFE OR SUBSTND SmUCruRES
It is requested that an appropriation of funds be allocated to the Building
Department for abatement of structures per Ordinance No. 457, Section 3, Uniform
Hausing Code, an ordinance adopted by the City of La Quinta.
The processing of abatements is outlined in Ordinance No.457, Section 2. B.,
batement of Unsafe and Substandard Buildings. The first step in the abatement
process is to declare an unsafe or Substandard building a public nuisance as
defined in Section 17920.3 of the Health and safety Code. At that tire, the
first notice must be mailed to aners and lien holders specifying the conditions
which render the structure unsafe or substandard, and giving the owner thirty 30)
days to abate said structure. If the owner fails to take nasures to abate the
structure within 30 days, then the lien holder may abate it within fifteen 15)
days after that expiration. During the period, a Notice of Pendency of Proceedings
must be filed with the County Recorders Office in Riverside.
If, after forty-five 45) days, no action has been taken, a second notice is mailed
directing the owner to appear at a hearing of the city council. Said hearing to be
not less than 15 days after the posting and mailing of notice. If satisfactory
results have not been obtained within 30 days after the hearing, the abatement inay
begin.
A statement of expenses is kept during the entire proceeding and all administrative
time, as well as costs for materials and/or labor will be recorded and billed to
the owner. Failure of the owner to make irrmediate payment will be grounds to cause
the statement of expenses to be turned over to the County Auditor, who shall place
the amount thereon on the assessment roll as a special assessment to be paid with
the owners taxes.
It is possible, with the type of abatements that are being considered, to have
excess funds frari the sale of materials, if abatement takes full course and the
structure is razed. In the event that such excess funds do occur, the monies are
to be retained by the City Treasurer to the credit of the owner until such person
or owner proves Ownership satisfactorily to the City Treasurer.
IrrTrdiate action needs to be taken on two, abandoned structures in the City at this

to locate this company. If funds are approved, this would be the first house that
would be abated. This house was cleted and given a final building inspection.
As of January of this year, the house was in good condition. DQring the rrnth of
March, it was observed that the front door was missing and since then, every window
in the house including shower doors and medicine cabinet mirrors have been broken
out. The carpet in the living ron was stolen, drywall kicked in, toilets and
plbing fixtures stolen, electric panel stripped, hot water heater kicked in,
air-conditiing cressor unit stolen and the vandalism still continues. See
photos attached)
53-584 AVENIDA JUAREZ Upon inspection of this structure, it was noted that
newspapers were lying on the floor dating back to 1955. The house apparently has
not been occupied for many years and gives the appearance of a shack more than a
house. The structure would not meet any of the rninim' requirement of the Building
Code and the Fire Departt has expressed an interest in burning the building for
training purposes if proper permission is received. The house has some furnishings
in it and has become an attractive nuisance for minors. The owner lives in Glendale
and has ignored previous request s to secure the structure. See photos attached)
The cost of abating these and other structures would include the expense of a title
search at $125.00, and if the situation warrants, the boarding up of the structure
at a cost between $200.00 to $400.00 each. It is recommended that at least $5,000.00
be considered as an apprOpriation for this program.
The abatement program should be started as soon as possible as the appearance of
these houses is very noticeable and depressing to those who are living near them
as well as for those residents who must drive through this area of the cove.

ently, an application for a permit to build a 6' high fence on tap of an
existing retaining wall was sultted to the cuhity Develoent Departrnt,
ui1dinc Section. The applicants were Mr. & Mrs. Albert Crjz, 77-810 Calle
Tcula. Their lot is located on the northwest corner of Calle Te'tctila and
Avenida Martinez. The existin9 retaining wall in estiop- runs north and south
on this lot with the height at the south end being 4'2" anc the height at the
north end being 2'6".
The applicants originally intended to add the 6, high fence on top of the existing
retaining wall, which would result in the north end height being 10' 6'. After
discusina the matter with the applicantsi they reconsidered and regLiested that
a 4, high fence be allowed on top of the retg wall. The auplicants explained
that they have grandchildren stay with frequently and if they added the 1,10"
height that would cTplete the allle inaXMmrn 6. height, it wi1d create a
safety hazard by not providing an adequate guardrail.
Staff recds that SECrIO l.40 c) of Ordiice No.32 be arrered to read as
follows:
SEI 18.40 Il.S, AND LANDSCAPING

Building code.
This would provide staff with a nre precise definition of the ordinance.
Staff also rends that a subsection e) be added to Ordinance No. 32 to
read as follows:
