**ADMITTED IN: NEVADA, NEW YORK
WASHINGTON. D. C. COURT OF CLAIMS
This office represents the 3S Company and Simon Family Partnership
who are the owners of Parcels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 and Parcel Map Number
18418 respectively, and this letter is written in connection with
your proposed Washington Street Corridor Amendment to the General
Plan.
We have been informed that both the City Council and the Planning
Commission have held Public Hearings in connection with the General
Plan Amendment and that the City Council has adopted that Amendment
to your General Plan. Unfortunately, neither the 3S Company nor
the Simon Family Partnership received notice of any Public Hearings
whatsoever.
Needless to say, my clients object vehemently to the proposal on
many grounds, including but not limited to the following:
1. We were not given proper notice of the Hearings before
the Planning Commission and City Council; and,
2. The need for additional right-of-way on the east side
of Washington Street and the south side of Highway 111
has not been demonstrated; and,
3. The burden of the proposal falls entirely upon the
owners east of Washington Street while the benefit
falls solely to the owners of property west of
Washington Street; and,
4. The property values listed in the study are significantly
below those setforth in offers to purchase previously
received by my clients; and,
WA
City Council
April 25, 1986
Page Two
5. The existence of the General Plan Amendment so significantly
clouds the title to the properties owned by my clients as to
make it unmarketable.
In view of the foregoing we would respectfully request that the City
reopen the Hearings on this matter after properly giving notice to each
owner entitled thereto in order that we may have ample opportunity to
present evidence and alternatives to those plans recommended by the
Planning Commission and apparently adopted by the City Council in its
Specific Plan Number 86-007. While we wish to cooperate with the City
in its endeavors to improve the area, I am sure you will understand
our concern when we found out after the fact that after having already
dedicated 36 feet along Washington Street, five feet along Highway 111
and installing curbs, gutters, sidewalks and traffic signals all at
significant expense and all within the last three years, the City now
wishes to tear out all of that work and render valueless at least two
of the parcels with Parcel Map Number 18418 all without notice to us.
In view of the drastic economic effects this is having on our clients
at the present time, we would respectfully request an early response
to this letter.
Thank you for your prompt consideration of this matter.
Yours very truly,
BEST, BEST & KRIEGER

SUBJ: PRELIMSUS RESULTS
The census was completed on time and under budget. City staff is to
be commended for the part they played in making this happen. We thought
the census might cost $21,500 plus supplies and it looks like it will
cost $19,500 plus supplies.
The census data reported below is unofficial and was computed in the
field. We will submit the final results to you when they are available
from the state approximately June 1.
Total housing units 3,880
Vacant units 1,252
Total population 7,456
Persons per household 2.84
Vacancy percentage 32.3%
The regular and special questions are being tabulated in Sacramento and
are part of the official report.due June I. The responses will be
given to you first as a total city, then by census tract and then by
planning areas. The planning areas were determined by the City planning
department in cooperation with my office.
At present the City is paid subvention funds based on a population
estimate of 7,842. Therefore, if the official census count is less
than that, as we expect, then we recommend that the City simply take
no action and the subvention funds will remain the same.
We consulted with the Population Research Unit of the state Department
of Finance regarding the census results. They will adjust their annual
population estimate bagEd on the special census. We project, therefore
that the City will receive more subvention funds between 1987 and 1990
than it would have otherwise. It is quite likely this will repay the City for
all its out -of pocket expenses for the census.

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the present joint and several liability law, also known
as the "Deep Pocket Doctrine", has unfairly cost the cities of California
millions of dollars in court judgments, settlements, legal costs, skyrock-
eting insurance premiums and difficulty in obtaining adequate liability
insurance coverage; and
WHEREAS, this same doctrine has also cost other governmental bodies,
business firms and professionals many millions of dollars; and
WHEREAS, ultimately this cost is unfairly borne by the taxpayers and
consumers of California; and
WHEREAS, many cities, other governmental bodies, business firms and
professionals are selected as defendants in lawsuits merely because of
their perceived assets or insurance and often are found only fractionally
at fault but must pay most or all of the judgment because the defendants
most at fault cannot pay; and
WHEREAS, the cost of this is unfairly borne by the taxpayers and
consumers of California; and
WHEREAS, the "Fair Responsibility Act of 1986" is an initiative
measure that would give the voters of California an opportunity to reform
the inequities and injustices of the "Deep Pocket Doctrine" by holding
liability lawsuit defendants financially liable in closer proportion to
their degree of fault; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of La Quin to
endorse the "Fair Responsibility Act of 1986" and urge its support and
passage to relieve the financial strain imposed on local government and
its taxpayers.

Re: Non -enclosed half of bulletin board
Village of La Quinta at Post Office
Dear Frank:
After your discussion with Brian Monroe, the Chamber of Commerce Board
attempted to act on a letter drafted by Brian. It was concluded by the
Board at that time that Brian and I write you a letter of understanding
for the City as to the following proposal:
1. The Chamber would like to give the non -enclosed west face of
the bulletin board to the City of La Quinta for their control
and repairs/maintenance.
2. In the event that the City wishes to decline this offer the west
face would naturally remain in the control of the Chamber of
Commerce. In the event that at any time in the future the City
wishes to abandon or vacate the west face, it would immediately
revert back to the control of La Quinta Chamber of Commerce.
It was further agreed by the Chamber Board that this merely be a proposal.
If this proposal is accepted by the City Council we would then like to put
this agreement in writing to be acted upon by our entire Board and returned
to the City for City Council final approval.
If the Chamber can be of any assistance to you or the City in regard to
this matter, please contact Brian Monroe or myself.
Sincerely
Andy Vossler Brian Monroe

CITY OF LA QUINTA �.
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Planning Commission
DATE: May 6, 1986
SUBJECT: PLOT PLAN NO. 86-295
LOCATION: Northeast Corner of Avenida Bermudas and Calle Estado
APPLICANT: Dan Edgar
REQUEST: Approval to Construct a 3052 Sq.Ft. Bank Building
On April 22, 1986, the Planning Commission reviewed the requested
building and approved, on a 4-0 vote (with Commissioner Walling not
participating due to a conflict of interest), the Plot Plan subject
to the attached conditions.
In discussing, the above matter, the major points of concern to the
Planning Commission were:
* Circulation problems associated with the Avenida
Bermudas driveway.
* Ways to redesign the parking.
* The importance of smooth traffic flow and an attractive
appearance at this major Village intersection.
* Compatibility of proposed architecture.
* Clarification of Fire Marshal and signing conditions.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the project
should be approved, but that changes to the plan were necessry. These
changes were:
* Elimination of the Bermudas driveway
* Installation of 9 parking spaces along the alley with
minor alteration to a couple of parking standards
* Relocation of the trash storage area
* Allowing Applicant to shift building to the west and
to provide covered parking (if he desired)
II
STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL
May 6, 1986
Page 2.
* Increasing landscaped area near Bermudas
The primary reasons to support these changes were the importance of
the intersection to the Village area, the need for smooth traffic flow
at an offset intersection, the need to enhance the visual images at
the intersection through increased landscaping and the ability to
enhance the alley as an attractive approach to the project.
Loren Lewis, principal in the proposed bank, appeared in support of
the project with the plan as submitted. He noted the importance from
his perspective of not entering "off a back alley".
The following additional persons appeared in support of the proposed
bank facility:
* Charlie White, Local Businessman
* Bud Ward, Director of the proposed bank
* Louis Campagna, Local Businessman
A letter from the Chamber of Commerce supporting the project is also
attached.

b. Circulation Plan: Avenida Bermudas, Secondary Arterial,
88-foot right-of-way.
2. Zoning: C-P-S, Scenic Highway Commercial (See Attachment No. 2).
3. Existing Conditions: The 9100 sq.ft. site is located in the
Village at La Quinta area of the City. The adjacent lots are
developed as follows: North - retail commercial building;

4. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and a Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County
Recorder.
5. Description of Request: The Applicant, who is a general
contractor, is requesting approval to construct a 3052 sq.ft.
building for a bank. The building is single story with approxi-
mately 2160 sq.ft. of net usable area. Three teller windows are
proposed. The main entrance will face towards Avenida Bermudas,
with a second entrance on the north side adjoining the parking
area and alley.
The Applicant proposes Modern Spanish style architecture similar
to the Milne Building located at the north side of the La Quinta
Park. A "shed" roof style is proposed. The height of the
building varies from 10 feet at the front or west side, to 25
feet at the rear or east side of the building. The shed roof
will be covered with clay red flashed Mission tile, and the
exterior walls will have light brown (San Simeon) stucco.
Regarding the site design, the building is set back a minimum of
10-1/2 feet from the face of curb on Calle Estado, 39-1/2 feet
from the Avenida Bermudas right-of-way, 22 feet from the alley
right-of-way, and 0-foot setback from the east property line.
Nine parking spaces are proposed on -site. The 3 spaces nearest
Calle Estado will be accessed from Avenida Bermudas, with the
remaining spaces accessed from the public alley. The driveway
between the alley and the front parking area is 14 feet wide and
one-way northbound.

STAFF COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS
Consistency with the General_ Plan and Zonin
The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan Land Use designa-
tion of Village Commercial. The use is also permitted by the C-P-S
(Scenic Highway Commercial) Zone with plot plan approval.
Site Plan Considerations
Building Setbacks: The C-P-S Zone does not require building setbacks.
However, because the edge of right-of-way along Calle Estado is at the
curbline, the County and the City has required a minimum 10-foot set-
back to provide adequate area for a sidewalk and landscaping. The
building's minimum 10-1/2-foot setback from Calle Estado is consistent
with this past policy.
Parking and Circulation
The Municipal Land Use Ordinance requires nine parking spaces for this
office building having approximately 2160 net square feet, excluding
public halls and the main lobby area. However, in this case, the
standard seems inadequate, particularly as it appears that there will
be 5-10 employees at the facility. Relatively few customer spaces
would be left meaning that either employees or customers would have to
3Z
STAFF REPORT - PLANNING COMMISSION
April 22, 1986
Page 5.
regularly rely upon on -street parking or would overflow into adjacent
developments. Regarding the design of the spaces, the end stalls in
the front parking area must be widened from 9 feet to 11 feet, as
required by Section 18.12 of the Municipal Land Use ordinance. In
order to comply with this standard, either the sidewalk adjacent to
the building or the landscaping adjacent to Bermudas will have to be
reduced; the site plan in this area is already "tight". As shown,
the remainder of the spaces are in compliance with the ordinance's
requirement of a minimum depth of 18 feet, minimum widths of 11 feet
for end stalls and 9 feet for interior stalls, minimum setback of 3
feet from property lines and 5 feet from street right-of-ways. The
3-foot setback of the spaces along the north side of the site should
be sufficient to ensure that parked vehicles do not extend into the
alley. The 5-foot setback from street right-of-ways is required in
order to provide landscaping between the parking area and the public
street; the plan complies with this requirement.
Access to the parking areas will be from the public alley and a
driveway on Avenida Bermudas, in addition to a 14-foot-wide, on -site
connecting driveway from the front parking area to the alley. The
parking access and circulation is poorly designed and creates a
number of unacceptable conflicts. These result from:
* The offset alignment of the Bermudas driveway with
existing Avenida Montezuma.
* The close proximity of the Bermudas and alley driveways.
* The movement between two separate parking areas on a
relatively small site.
For example, vehicles backing out of any of the spaces in the front
parking area would block ingress to it while maneuvering thereby
creating a stacking problem within the Bermudas (and possibly
Montezuma) right-of-way. Right turns out of the Bermudas driveway
could conflict with left turns into or out of the alley driveway.
There will be conflicts in the one-way, on -site connecting driveway.
All of these can be corrected by an improved design while still
allowing reasonable development of the site. However, it does appear
that the entire project would need to be redesigned to remedy these
conflicts. Nevertheless, the Bermudas-Estado-Montezuma intersection
is an important part of the Village and effort should be made to
avoid major conflicts of the sort that would result from this plan if
it was approved.
Site Grading
The City currently requires that the floor level be a minimum of
3 feet above the highest point of the adjacent public roadways, in
accordance with the requirements of FEMA for floor protection.
33.
STAFF REPORT - PLANNING COMMISSION
April 22, 1986
Page 6.
Although not shown explicitly on the site plan, the Applicant has
stated that it is his intention to also raise the parking area 3 feet
to avoid stairs at the building entrances. This site consideration
will have a substantial effect on the overall appearance of this
proposed development. Additional considerations which will be
reviewed include maintaining intersection visibility (plantings and
walls are limited to 42-inches from street level in the corner areas)
the design and location of retaining walls, and the compatibility of
the proposed pad level with respect to adjacent existing buildings.
Building Design
The building has a Modern Spanish style of architecture. The front
faces out onto the west parking area and Avenida Bermudas, with a
secondary entrance on the north side at the alley. The top of the
roof line at the east wall of the building is 22 feet, with the
architectural features extending up an additional 3 feet. As a point
of comparison, the adjacent office building is 25-feet high at the
roof peak on the second story.
Staff has a number of concerns relative to the proposed building
design, including:
* Should additional architectural features or embellishments
be added to the side and rear building elevations, as has
been required during previous Planning Commission review
of single-family houses proposed for corner lots? Of
particular concern is the side adjacent to Calle Estado
and the rear of the building, which will also be visible
from Calle Estado.
* Should the height of the building, which is 22-25 feet
along the Calle Estado frontage, be reduced?
* Is the general style of architecture consistent or
compatible with existing and anticipated development
within the Village at La Quinta area?
* Are the proposed materials and colors consistent or
compatible with the existing and future development
of the area?
CONCLUSIONS
1. The proposed office use is consistent with the La Quinta General
Plan designation of General Commercial.
2. The proposed site is in compliance with the requirements of the
C-P-S Zone.
3�
STAFF REPORT - PLANNING COMMISSION
April 22, 1986
Page 7.
3. The existing utilities are adequate or can be upgraded to provide
for the needs of the office building.
4. Provided that the alley is improved, existing public roadways will
adequately provide for off -site traffic circulation.
5. The existing site and parking design would result in major circu-
lation problems warranting redesign of the project.
6. The Spanish style architecture and proposed building materials may
be compatible with existing and future development in the area.
7. Approval of the project will not result in any significant
environmental impacts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that Plot Plan No.
86-295 be tabled and that the Applicant be directed to prepare revised
plans which consider the following:
* Elimination of driveway access (other than the alley) to
Bermudas
* Redesign of the on -site parking and circulation
* Reevaluation of the building design
The attached conditions of approval have been prepared in the event
that the Commission intends to approve the project substantially as
submitted.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA OUINTA
�. E.
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: May 6, 1986
SUBJECT: FINAL TRACT MAP NO. 21381-1
LOCATION: West Side of PGA Boulevard, Approximately One -Half Mile
South of Avenue 54
APPLICANT: Sunrise Company
REQUEST: Approval to Record Phase 1 of Tract No. 21381
Tract Map No. 21381-1 represents approximately 10 acres of the
approximate 42-acre subdivision intended for 138 dwelling units. The
Phase 1 component consists of three lots for duplex home development.
Requirements for installation of street, drainage, water, sewer and
related improvements have been imposed on this map. A subdivision
agreement and letter of credit have been provided to guarantee the
required improvements. These documents are in satisfactory form.
The City Engineer has certified that Tract Map No. 21381-1 is in
substantial conformance with the tentative tract map approved by the
City Council on March 18, 1986. The map complies with all provisions
of the State Subdivision Map Act and the Municipal Land Division
Ordinance, and that the map is technically correct. It is the
opinion of Staff, that the items of concern on the part of the City
Engineer, being minor in nature, will not affect the approval process.
The conditions of approval associated with this map have been reviewed
and Staff has determined that the conditions have been satisfactorily
complied with.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the City Council
approve Tentative Tract Map No. 21381-1 and authorize the recordation
of the map.

CITY OF LA QUINTA

1)
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: May 6, 1986
SUBJECT: FEES FOR SUBDIVISION MAP CHECKS, IMPROVEMENT PLAN
CHECKS, AND ENCROACHMENT PERMITS
BACKGROUND
This matter was previously before the Council on April 1, but was not
acted upon due to the need to advertise the matter as a public
hearing.
The attached Resolution revises fees for engineering related works
primarily to reflect our current contract for engineering services
with BSI Consultants, Inc. It establishes the fees for these services
on a "time and materials" basis which is how we pay BSI for the work.
It provides for a deposit which can be readily calculated by an
Applicant and for an overhead charge to cover the time of City Staff
and City Engineer (whose time is billed as a monthly retainer not on
a project basis).
The fees established for Encroachment Permits are identical to the
City's current schedule for those permits.
Exhibit "C" sets forth a standardized schedule to calculate bonds and
related items. This will allow each Applicant to determine bond
amounts in advance using the same schedule.
COMMENTS RECEIVED
Comments on the proposed fee schedule have been received from Anden,
J. F. Davidson, Sunrise, and Landmark; their letters are attached for
your information.
STAFF ANALYSIS
A number of points raised in the comments require additional
discussion in order to facilitate a decision on the fee schedule. It
should be noted that Staff has made a number of changes in the
original fee schedule in response to comments received, including:
* Deletion of survey inspection item
* Reduction of unit price estimate for sidewalks & driveways
* Reduction of unit price estimate for grading
41
STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL
May 6, 1986
Page 2.
* Changing method of estimating monumentation bond
* Reduction of deposit amounts
Time & Materials Vs Flat Fee (Based on Lots, Acres, Etc.):
Several of the comments suggest that a flat fee would be preferable.
This was the approach taken under the previous arrangement with Duca
and McCoy. In general, I feel that the time and materials approach
is fairer as it comes closer to an actual cost, or cost accounting,
basis - which is the current trend in State legislation on fees. In
addition, our engineering services contract with BSI for services
beyond the monthly retainer is on a time and materials basis. This
approach should result in lesser fees for smaller and simpler plan
checks and well -designed plans which generally require fewer rechecks.
The engineer whose plans are not as well prepared or who expects the
plan checker to do his design work will have more rechecks meaning
more time and a correspondingly higher fee.
Several of the comments also request an actual accounting on time
spent on the project - which is, of course, the basis of the final
plan check fee. There is no problem in providing this information to
the developer/engineer since the City Engineer tracks these costs
anyway.
25% City Administrative Overhead Charge:
This is intended to cover the cost of City Staff's time spent on any
particular plan check. This includes such items as clerical time,
review with project planner on compliance with conditions, my time
(if any), City Attorney time (if any), partial return on City
Engineer's monthly retainer, etc. It is reasonable for the City to
recover these costs and the use of a general overhead charge is the
only way to do it since the City does not have a cost accounting
procedure established. Because of this, no detailed breakdown of the
overhead charge can be provided. The 25% figure is used by the City
in other programs - such as weed abatement.
Estimating Unit Prices for Bonding:
It needs to be emphasized that these figures must be adequate to cover
the cost of construction at a time 3-5 years in the future, the cost
of the City to bid and administer the project, normal contingencies
(which are part of any large construction project), the cost to the
City to pay prevailing wage rates and related factors which may not
always apply to the project when constructed by the private sector.
Today's actual construction costs are not an appropriate target upon
which to base bonds which guarantee the future installation of public
improvements - especially since they can vary from project to project,

depending on a number of factors (i.e., time of year, size of project,
desire to get future jobs, amount of ongoing construction activity,
etc.).
Unit Prices for Water Mains and Appurtenances:
Based on comments received, Staff is reevaluating these items and will

BE: Revised schedule of fees relating to engineering
RECL-: FLU
COMMUCITY OF
NITY DE LA UINTA
DEVELOPMENT DEPT
At your request I have reviewed the schedule of fees proposed by the
City of La Quinta adopted April 1st, and offer the following ccmTents.
1) Actual billing for plan checking and inspection will be charged on a
T & M basis. How will we as the developer accurately account for the
time spent? I would like to request that a complete listing of hours
worked be provided with explanation as to amounts of time in each area.
This would enable us to question, if necessary, the billings.
A defined unadjustable schedule of fees, not tied to time and material,
would certainly be preferable.
2) In regards to the amounts being charged for grading I believe the $2.00
per yard figure is high. We move dirt for approximately half that amount.
$1.25 would be on the high side.
3) In addition to the previous 2 points several points of inquiry have been
made by Mike Smith of J. F. Davidson. I also feel that the points
regarding monumentation, sidewalk curb and gutter prices, $70.00 per hour
survey inspection, and water mains and appertenances need to be addressed.
We are able to install 4" flatwork for less that $1.50/square foot. The
bonding amounts do not seen realistic.
Thank you for the opportunity to make comments on the proposed fee
schedule. I will await your response.
Sincerely,
Paul Quill,

RE: Marro on new fee schedule
Dear Larry:
We have reviewed the proposed changes to the fee schedule as outlined
in your memo dated 3-31-86. As we understand it, the intent is to collect
a deposit when the plans are submitted and then compute the actual fees
based on time spent checking. We suggest that an actual accounting of time
spent be provided the developer when the fee is established. Specifically,
the number of hours charged and the activity should be clearly delineated.
This will allow the developer and his Engineer to evaluate the charges.
A few questions arose in reviewing the proposed charges.
1. Under Encroachment Permit fees, the item "Survey Inspection Work"
for $70 per hour appears and we wonder what is involved that would
cost so much. Perhaps you could explain that item.
2. In the Unit Price List, from "sidewalk" through "cross gutters" all
of your concrete prices appear to be excessive except for 6" POc
cross gutters. Those costs should be revised.
3. Under "Water" the heading "Mains and Appurtenances" needs some
definition. If in fact the appurtenances are included in the price
of the mains, the costs shown are only slightly high. But later
you indicate costs for thrust blocks, fittings, tees, etc.. If
these appurtenances are to be called out separately, then the costs
for mains are excessive.
4. Under "Miscellaneous" you indicate $2.00/c.y. for grading. This
is easily double actual current costs and should be reduced. We
also would like to know the definition of "Permanent Barricade".
5. Under monumentation, we feel lot corners should be figured at a
maximum of $25 each or else $100 per lot for ease in estimating.
We appreciate the opportunity to respond and offer our continued
cooperation.

Re: Memo on New Fee Schedule
Dear Larry,
We have reviewed your memo of March 31, 1986 and feel the following
items should be addressed:
A) 25% City administration Overhead Charge - Although
this charge may be justified, we feel that the developer
should receive an accounting of the actual time spent on
each activity.
B) Water Mains and Appurtenances - We feel these charges
are excessive and should be reviewed.
We would welcome any opportunity to discuss these matters with you.

RE: PROPOSED NEW FEE SCHEDULE FOR SUBDIVISION PLAN CHECKS AND
ENCROACHMENT PERMITS
Dear Larry:
We have reviewed your memo dated 3/31/86 regarding the proposed
new fee schedule and unit prices for bonding purposes. We are
pleased to see that the City is taking steps to establish a
written set of guidelines which will apply to all developers
and engineers doing work in the City of La Quinta. However, we
would like to register a general objection to the overall
increase in fees, and a couple of specific objections to
individual items.
We would like to see the City establish specific fixed fees for
plan checking of final maps and improvement plans as well as
for inspections. Particularly in the case of grading plan
checking, we strongly object to the proposed formula for
collecting plan check and inspection fees. The Uniform
Building Code (which the City has already adopted) establishes
a fee schedule for both grading plan review and grading permit
fees (Table No. 70-A and 70-B). These fees are based upon the
quantity of earth to be excavated, not upon a dollar valuation.
We would like to see the City adopt these UBC schedules as
their own.
In the event the City elects to continue to charge developers
for actual costs incurred by the City Engineer and staff, we
would like to see a detailed accounting of all time and charges
allocated to the specific project, with each activity clearly
delineated.
Regarding the City's "unit price list for bonding" we feel that
some of the prices are substantially higher than the current
prevailing costs, particularly for those items dealing with
concrete work. We also feel that the unit prices for water
mains and sewers are higher than prevailing costs. We are
somewhat confused over the heading "Mains and Appurtenances" in
that if your unit prices include fittings and appurtenances,
then why are the various individual items also called out in
your list (i.e., fire hydrants, valves, fittings, etc.)?
Letter to Mr. Larry Stevens
April 25, 1986
Page 2
Also, we feel that the grading price of $2.00/C.Y. is
approximately twice the prevailing cost.
We realize that the City's prices are higher because the City
will be holding a bond for work which may be required to be
done several years away and that future prices may suffer
inflation. However, the City has made provisions to cover these
price inflations by including a contingency factor in the
total bond amount.
We respectfully request that you review your proposed fee
schedule in light of these comments. If you would like to meet
with us to discuss this matter further, please feel free to
give me a call and we will meet with you at your convenience.
Thank you for providing us the opportunity to review your
proposal and register our comments.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA OUINTA
gc
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Community Development Director
DATE: May 6, 1986
SUBJECT: Additional Positions - Community Development Department
Building Division
As you are aware, staffing in the Building Division has recently
undergone a number of changes with the recent promotion of Tom
Hartung to Chief Building Inspector from Building Inspector II and
the hiring of Richard Kirkland as Building Inspector I. During this
transition, we have had the opportunity to reassess our inspector
needs and it is apparent to me that additional inspection staffing is
necessary. The need for inspection activity has been steadily
increasing with construction activity at PGA West and in the Cove
(i.e., we are spending 4-6 hours a day at PGA West alone). Of course,
this is in addition to the plan checking duties of the Chief Building
Inspector. Our public information time has also been extremely
limited. Revenues for permits are also higher than projected.
During recent interviews for Building Inspector I or II, there were
not any strong candidates for the II level, but there are several good
candidates at the I level. It seems opportune to add an additional
Building Inspector I to the current staffing. It is estimated that
this will cost approximately $3,000 in salary and benefits for the
rest of this year. A budget transfer resolution has been provided.
Engineering Division
This division is currently staffed by a Contract Engineer (Bob Weddle
from BSI) and a contract inspection service (George Chaney Company).
Both are on a part-time basis. There is a considerable amount of
activity ongoing in this division, particularly in tract processing,
improvement plan checking, encroachment permits, construction inspec-
tion, coordination of projects with other agencies and new projects.
As a result, too much of the City Engineer's time is being devoted to
paperwork and routine permit/information tasks. It seems desirable
to provide support for the Contract Engineer in the form of a pre -
professional aide or technician position. This person could handle
basic public information, processing of encroachment permits,
coordination for Contract Engineer when he is not in the office,
filing and related paperwork, drafting and similar routine tasks. A
typical job description is attached.
1Z�
MEMO - CITY COUNCIL
May 6, 1986
Page 2.
This position should be set at Range 35 ($1458 - $1772 per month
using the current schedule). No budget authorization would be needed
for this Fiscal Year since normal hiring procedure would not be
completed prior to its conclusion. However, authorizing the posi-
tion at this time would allow the hiring procedure to begin now rather
than in July after adoption of the budget. This would give us a head
start on providing needed increase in service levels. This may be
especially important since, in the reorganization, Building and
Planning personnel may not be as available to assist as they do now,
depending on how the physical arrangements are set up.
RECOMMENDATION
The Communtiy Development Director recommends as follows:
1. Authorize an additional Building Inspector I and adopt attached
Resolution transferring funds.
2. Authorize Engineering Aide position at
86-87, with hiring procedure to begin

TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Community Development Director
DATE: May 6, 1986
SUBJECT: Traffic Study on Singing Palms/Highland Palms Access
Alternatives
on March 4, 1986, the City Council directed Staff to review the
situation and report back within two months. I arranged for the City
Engineer to prepare specific analysis for the area of concern by
using data and information from the Washington Street Specific Plan.
The attached memo outlines that effort. it outlines three basic
alternatives and compares them to the ultimate condition. The
alternatives include:
* Signalize existing street - $90,000
* Widen to 4 lanes and provide 4-way stop - $215,000
* Widen to 4 lanes and signalize - $690,000
Council is requested to review the attached report and direct Staff
as d erred appr priate.

Mr. Larry Stevens, Planning Director
City of La Quinta

La Quinta, California 92253
SUBJECT: SINGING PALMS/HIGHLAND PALMS ACCESS ALTERNATIVES
Dear Mr. Stevens
Three alternative access plans have been conceptually devel-
oped for the Singing Palms/Highland Palms community, as
illustrated on the enclosed cross-section exhibit. Cost est-
imates associated with each alternative are shown on the
exhibit and detailed on attached worksheets.
MAJOR FINDINGS
Existing data sources were gathered and reviewed to compile
an information base for the development of conceptual access
alternatives. Major findings of this information compilation
process are presented below regarding land uses, traffic
generation, and stop control alternatives.
Land Uses
The existing Singing Palms/Highland Palms community (west of
Washington Street) is comprised of 103 residential lots. An
additional developable area of approximately 20 acres exists
north and west of the established community.
The developable 20 acres is residentially zoned for low den-
sity (two to four dwellings per acre) and medium density
(four to eight dwellings per acre). Based on the assumption
of buildout at four units per acre, a total of 80 additional
single family residential units are projected for the area.
Access for the existing development is provided at Washing-
ton Street intersections with Singing Palms and Highland
Palms Drives. Currently, parcels fronting Washington Street
access directly to/from the major arterial. However, the
City's recent adoption of the Washington Street Corridor
Study mandates ultimate provision of a frontage road between
Singing Palms Drive and Highland Palms Drive. The frontage
road segment will require a 152 foot right-of-way (32 foot
more than major arterial typical cross-section). All addi-
tional right-of-way is to be acquired from the undeveloped
east side of Washington Street.

Mr. Larry Stevens

Washington Street existing pavement widths narrow from 86
foot to 54 foot south of Singing Palms Drive. Between Sing-
ing Palms Drive and Highland Palms Drive, curb and gutter
are constructed on the west side and the east side
transitions from edge of pavement to dirt shoulder. The sub-
ject east shoulder is signed for no parking. Existing right
of way widths along Washington Street between Singing Palms
and Highland Palms drives is 60 foot.
Traffic Generation
The existing 103 residential lots are forecasted to generate
770 average daily two-way trip ends (i.e., based on a per
unit trip rate of 7.48, as documented by data collection in
the Coachella Valley). The 770 two-way trip ends equate to
385 outbound trips per day. Even if outbound access was re-
stricted to one location (e.g., Highland Palms Drive),
minimum vehicular warrants would not be met for multi -way
stop sign installation or traffic signalization.
Ultimate buildout of the additional 80 units would add near-
ly 600 average daily two-way trip ends, and 300 outbound
trip ends. These increased volumes, when added to existing
traffic, total 11070 average daily two way and 535 daily
outbound vehicles.
Stop Control Alternatives
Alternative traffic controls available for consideration at
the Highland Palms Drive/Washington Street intersection are
listed below, together with minimum warrant requirements,
forecasted levels of service, and construction cost esti-
mates.
I. Signalize Existing Intersection Configuration. The exist-
ing one-way stop sign on Highland Palms Drive was
calculated to result in •very long traffic delays" and/or
level of service E operation for the Highland Palms Drive
approach during peak hours. The Washington Street
approaches were found to operate at level of service A.
The Highland Palms Drive level of service indicates a
need to improve operations for that approach.
One alternative would be to signalize the existing inter-
section configuration. No right of way acquisition would
be required. The estimated construction cost of $90,000
would provide an interim solution. However, little if any
of the signal equipment could be salvaged for use as part
of the ultimate intersection signalization. For example,
the signal poles would be at less than ultimate lengths;
and the signal controller would in all probability be
outdated at the time of ultimate signal installation.

Mr. Larry Stevens
April 16, 1986

II. Multi -way Stop Signs. Installation of multi -way stop
sign controls (e.g., on Washington Street at Highland
Palms Drive) would be warranted when traffic volumes,
speeds, and/or turn movements on all approach legs are
such that crossings cannot be safely made without
occasional long delays); minor street entering volumes
must average 200 vehicles per hour for a consecutive
eight hour period, or 140 per hour where the 65th
percentile approach speed of the major street traffic
exceeds 40 miles per hour as Washington Street does.
The Highland Palms Drive entering volumes are far less
than the minimum warrant, even with forecasted closure of
Singing Palms Drive outbound traffic and addition of new
development traffic. However, the multi -way stop control
concept was analyzed to project levels of service (LOS),
and it was projected that both Highland Palms Drive and
Washington Street intersection approaches would be
provided LOS D and/or "long traffic delays" operations
during the peak hours.
This represents a slight improvement on Highland Palms
Drive and a deterioration on Washington Street. The pro-
jected deterioration on Washington Street may be
mitigated by widening of the north and south intersection
legs for two through lanes in each direction. This would
require right of acquisition of approximately 12 foot
(i.e., 62 foot of pavement plus 10 foot setback) from
parcels 617-02-13; 617-02-11; 617-07-05; and 617-07-06.
On the northbound intersection approach, the six foot
paved shoulder would be incorporated into lane striping
to provide a separate left turn pocket from Washington
Street onto Highland Palms Drive.
Estimated construction costs (i.e., no right of way
acquisition cost estimates) of $215,000 are estimated for
this alternative. For ultimate conditions, the paved area
for northbound Washington Street would need to be removed
for construction of the frontage road 12 foot buffer.
As an additional option within this alternative, 12 more
feet of pavement width could be provided to enable the
striping of a continuous two-way left turn lane. This
option was not "costed-out" in view of its associated
increase in vehicular conflict points and/or reduction in
Washington Street capacity.
III. Traffic Signal on a Widened Washington Street. When
traffic volumes, speeds, and/or turn movements on all
approach legs of an intersection are such that crossings
cannot be safely made without frequent long delays, and
Mr. Larry Stevens
April 16, 1986
Page Four
minor street entering volumes average 105 vehicles per
hour over a consecutive eight hour period, traffic
signalization is warranted by minimum vehicular require-
ments. Although minimum vehicular volumes are not war-
ranted for a traffic signal under existing or forecasted
ultimate conditions, the Progressive Movement Warrant may
be used to justify both scenarios.
Progressive movement warrants are satisfied when adja-
cent signals do not provide the necessary degree of
platooning and speed control and the proposed and
adjacent signals could constitute a progressive signal
system.
The installation of a signal according to this warrant
should not be considered where the resultant signal
spacing would be less than 11000 feet. The attached
signal warrant notes such fulfillment at the subject
intersection.
This alternative further provides for an interim widening
of Washington Street that would be consistent with ulti-
mate conditions. Two southbound lanes lanes would operate
on the ultimate frontage road, and the ultimate 12 foot
buffer area would serve as an interim median divider
between two new northbound lanes. This would extend to
Highway 111. The estimated construction cost is $690,000.
Additional right of way acquisition costs would be
incurred to obtain approximately 24 feet from the
previously referenced parcels.
IN CLOSING
Of the three alternatives developed, it is recommended that
the most intensive (Alternative III) be implemented. It is
noted, however, that the City may desire to phase such
implementation by providing interim multi -way stop controls
on Washington Street after widening per Alternative III.
If any questions arise upon the review of this information,
please call me at (714) 558-1952.

MEMORANDUM r
CITY OF LA QUINTA E .
To: City Manager Usher and the Honorable City Council
From: Roger Hirdler, Community Safety Coordinator
Date: April 30, 1986
Subject:
ANIMAL CONTROL: NEW PROGRAM AND PROCEDURES
1. CANVASSING PROGRAM
Purpose: The purpose of the canvassing program is to have dog owners who do not
presently have dog licenses obtain such for their dogs. This would be accomplished
through a house to house canvassing within the City. One day per week will be set
aside for this program. Both Code Enforcement Officers and the Animal Control
Officer will conduct this canvassing work.
Procedure: A packet containing an instruction sheet, fee schedule and form to mail
in for a license will be left with each unlicensed dog owner. A printed door hanger
packet with complete instructions will be left for occupants who are not at home
(where evidence exists that they own a dog). The dog owners will have 30 days to
mail back the forms. After 30 days, a 10 day reminder will be mailed out to them.
When the 10 day period has expired, the Animal Control Officer will follow up in
person.
Each officer will maintain an accurate log of residences contacted to ensure com-
plete coverage of the City.
Staff strongly believes that the canvassing program will pay for itself.
2. DOG LICENSE SALES
The Community Safety Department would like to institute two new procedures regarding
the sale of dog licenses:
1. Staff would like approval to sell licenses in the field. The Animal Control
Officer would be the only person with the authority to sell licenses in the
field. The receipt book would be in triplicate (one copy for the dog owner,
one for our office file, and one to accounting). Monies and receipts would
be turned in daily.
2. Staff would also like to impose a 50% penalty for unlicensed dogs if the dog
is over 6 months old and the owner has lived in La Quinta over 60 days. The
penalty would consist of 50% of the fee normally due and would not be charged
to those who voluntarily comply.
3. IMPOUND FEE
The Animal Control Officer should also be able to collect an impound fee of $10.00
for animals retrieved off the animal control truck before he goes to the shelter.
The fee would be collected at City Hall prior to the release of the dog.

Staff recommends adoption of these new programs and procedures as they have proven
to be very effective in other jurisdictions.
