RE: Falk-Marguleas Property
Dear Carlos and Terre,
I appreciated the opportunity to discuss the future of the Marguleas-Falk
property with you last week. As a result of our meeting, I understand that you're
interested in creating a planned development featuring multiple products / land
uses that meet a variety of community needs. Some of these uses may include
single family detached housing affordable to very low, low and moderate
income families (inclusive of a sweat equity component), multiple family
housing affordable to very low and low income families, and daycare. We
understand that you envision the Marguleas-Falk site as a potential catalyst for
the stabilization of the residential neighborhood to the immediate south thereof,
and would like to work with you to make these dreams come true.
In an effort to do so, we are asking the Agency to grant us an exclusive right to
negotiate for the opportunity to develop and build out a master planned 40 acre
site featuring a variety of uses. We propose to pull together at our cost a first
class development team inclusive of an architect, landscape architect, civil
engineer, geotechnical engineer, and environmental engineer to perform all
necessary feasibility studies inclusive of soils and geological, phase 1
environmental assessments and an ALTA survey of the subject property. We
will review appropriate elements of the City's general plan and zoning
ordinance, consult with the City Planner regarding acceptable land uses and
densities, review infrastructure requirements with the City Engineer, and
identify appropriate and desired uses with you. Additionally, we will assess
current market trends in order to confirm demand and absorption for the
proposed uses.
Upon completion of our research, we will prepare concept architectural and
landscape plans inclusive of site plans, floor plans and elevations which we
will then submit to redevelopment and planning staff for your review and
approval. Thereafter, we will assist you in presenting these plans to the
Housing Commission for their review and approval. Subject to Housing
Commission approval we will prepare entitlement applications for the Planning
r Commission.
•
Please note that at the time we present the concept plans, we will also deliver
line itemized pro formas for the design, engineering, financing, buildout, sale
and rental of all affordable residential product on the site.
In an effort to maximize economic benefit to the region, a majority of our
consultants will be based in the Coachella Valley.
Carlos and Terre, it's been a real joy to work with you at Desert Rose, and we'd
relish the opportunity to start from scratch on a new project at the Marguleas-
Falk site. Community Dynamics is highly regarded as a developer of creatively
designed, financed and well built affordable housing. You've seen what we
can do, and we'd very much like to do it again in Palm Desert. Given the
chance, I promise you that we'll work hard to create a beautiful community that
will stand as a beacon of hope for those families who might otherwise be
excluded from the marketplace, and as a model for the development of
affordable housing throughout Southern California.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
ore Bloch
President

COMMUNITY DYNAMICS
Community Dynamics is a Santa Monica, California based home builder
focusing on urban redevelopment and the creation of high quality entry level
housing. Since its incorporation in 1986, Dynamics has developed, built
and marketed nearly 600 attractive, well built, affordable homes in
association with community based non-profits and local redevelopment
agencies. The company is currently developing nearly 200 homes in the
City of Oxnard in a joint venture with the publicly held Catellus Companies.
Dynamics has developed a reputation for particular expertise with the
intricacies of affordable housing, having successfully structured financing for
a variety of programs involving non profit foundations, local redevelopment
agencies, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Fannie
Mae, FHA, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and the
` "' community lending departments of several major banking institutions.
Projects developed by Dynamics on behalf of non-profit clients have been
featured in national publications, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San
Francisco's annual report, and selected for recognition by the California
Redevelopment Association.
We are committed to providing affordable housing for families who might
otherwise be excluded from the conventional marketplace, contributing to
the stability and vitality of the communities in which we build, delivering
thoughtfully designed, well built homes for our buyers, and following through
with responsive customer service once they move in. Our developments are
profitable for us and beneficial to the communities in which they are built.
We develop our own properties, and build on a fee basis for non profits as
well.

DEVELOPMENTS COMPLETED AND UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Since its incorporation in 1986, Dynamics has developed and marketed more than
$60,000,000 in housing inclusive of the following projects:
• Huntington Walk, a collection of 72 single family detached homes designed
by award winning architects Corbin, Yamafuji and Partners. Sales volume
on the two, three and four bedroom homes totaled more than $9,600,000.
The City of Huntington Park provided 30 year fixed rate bond financing, and
each of three phases sold out in less than two days.
• Meadowgate, a $10,200,000 community of 115 garden condominiums for
low and moderate income families in the city of Los Angeles. The five acre
site features gate guarded community access, a pool, spa, children's
playground and more than 1/2 acre of recreational open space.
• Vinas La Campana, 126 gate guarded two, three and four bedroom
townhomes and condominiums on five acres in the city of Bell Gardens. The
$13,900,000 community offers a children's playground, basketball court and
fitness center, and second and third trust deed deferred financing through the
local redevelopment agency and the State of California. The United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development featured Vinas La
Campana in its recent publication entitled "New American Neighborhoods:
Building Homeownership Zones to Revitalize Our Nation's Communities".
• Sundance, 32 gate guarded two and three bedroom townhomes valued at
$3,500,000 in the city of Compton. Like Vinas La Campana, Sundance offers
second and third trust deed deferred financing through public agencies,
making the housing affordable to low income families.
• Desert Rose, 161 three and four bedroom paired homes in Palm Desert
priced from $73,950. The $13,000,000 community was originally built by
another company which experienced difficulty in developing financing and a
marketing strategy for the homes. The local redevelopment agency asked
Dynamics to take over the project in January, 1996, and after putting together
the financing, restructuring the pricing and developing a new marketing
strategy, Dynamics sold the project out at a rate of seven homes per month.
In December, 1996, the California Redevelopment Association selected
Desert Rose as its Project of the Month.
• Givens Way, 37 three and four bedroom townhomes priced from $127,950 in
the city of Compton. This $5,000,000 community, along with Sundance next
door, has helped to reclaim an entire city block and restabilize the
surrounding neighborhood. The gated community features a community
center, picnic area, basketball court and state of the art children's
playground. Like Sundance and Vinas La Campana, Givens Way offers
second and third trust deed deferred financing through public and non profit
agencies, making the homes affordable to low income families.
• Central Park Estates, 50 single family detached homes in the city of
Compton. Dynamics reclaimed a six acre industrial brownfield on behalf of a
non-profit client, and is currently building out this $8,500,000 development.
Once again, the community will offer homebuyers second and third trust deed
deferred financing through public and non-profit agencies.

RE: Cat ens
Dear Stephanie:
The Housing Commission at its last meeting suggested that we have a contest for the renaming of
One Quail via the next newsletter and that anyone interested in participating drop the name into a
suggestion box he placed at the One Quail office. Perhaps a small award can be offered ($50 or a
$50 deduction in rent for the winner of the contest). The winning name would be selected by the
City Council at a future meeting and the winner recognized.
In addition,the Commission reviewed the waiting list submitted and expressed concerns regarding
the length of time these individuals have been on the waiting list i.e. 1994, 1995, and 1996. They
have requested that the list be updated and submitted for their review. It is my further understanding,
as a result of discussions with Steve, that the $25 credit check fee is not being collected until a unit
is actually ready for the tenant(s). If this is the case, then the concerns previously expressed by the
Commission relative to the collection of the credit fee and the length of time on the waiting list have
been resolved.

Dear •
As you are aware,the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency has taken possession of the 37 spaces
previously owned by the Portola Palms Acquisition Association. An appraisal of the spaces has
been completed which establishes values ranging from $22,500 to $25,000, based on location.
• Closing costs, approximately $600-700 will be shared by the buyer and seller in the usual
manner. The Agency herein offers you, as a current tenant of Space#9,the first right of refusal
to purchase the space you currently lease. Please contact this office no later than August 10,

As the Agency is having to absorb the difference between the amount of the note held and the
new appraised value,the asking price is firm. Again,please contact this office by 8/10/98 to
discuss your interest. Thank you.

SANTA ROSA APARTMENTS
During the Housing Authority Tour on May 27, 1998 It was suggested that we take a look at
possibly saving the swimming pool at the Santa Rosa Apartments. I have provided you with
some information as to what the cost are in order to rehabilitate the existing swimming pool,
and other areas that will be affected by keeping the swimming pool
SWIMMING POOL
• Received four estimates on the swimming pool-one from Bob Kennedy the General
Contractor on the job, one from AB Development, one from San Juan Pools-one from
Sparkling pools.
• Estimates range from 9,000.00 to $11,750.00 we would still need an additional
handicapped lift to make the pool comply with current commercial health & building
code standards. The lift will cost approximately $837.63
• The cost of leveling the pool to Approx. 4 ft. overall would be $4,000.00
• The cost of building a new swimming pool, and changing the pool to a new location
would be approximately $20,000.00
• MAINTENANCE OF THE SWIMMING POOL
• Monthly maintenance of the pool would be approximately $ 250.00-$ 300.00
• Gas to heat the swimming pool would be approximately $ 4,000.00 - $ 5,000.00 per
year
• Water used to maintain the swimming pool would be approximately $ 1,000.00 per
year
• The total cost of maintenance would be approximately $ 8,000.00 - $ 10,000.00 per
year
SAVINGS BY KEEPING THE POOL
• We could keep the palm trees that were slated to be removed the approximate saving
would be $4,000.00
• We would not have to demolish, fill, and compact the swimming pool, which would
give us a savings of$3,000.00.
• The savings cost would be $7,000.00 by keeping the pool in the same location,
However this would affect the parking.
• IF you deducted the $7,000.00 from the cost of renovating the swimming pool then in
• essence, you would only be spending approximately $5,587.63 to save the swimming
pool, this would include the handicapped lift needed.
• FENCE NEEDED AROUND SWIMMING POOL:
A fence will need to be constructed around the swimming pool, whether we decide to
refurbish the swimming pool, or to build a new swimming pool, the cost will be
approximately $ 3,000.00
PARKING STRUCTURE
• If we were to save the swimming pool, then the parking structure would undoubtably
have to change. The following changes would have to occur to make this possible.
• The fence by the swimming pool would have to be moved to approximately 5 feet
from the edge of the swimming pool copping on two sides.
• The children's play area that is called out on the plans would have to be reduced
considerably, however this does not mean that we would lose a play area all together.
There would still be room to incorporate a smaller play area.
• We would put two additional parking spaces to the side of the first set of buildings
• facing Santa Rosa Way, and we would build something to hide the additional parking
that we've added.
• We would have two parking spaces on the sides of the second set of buildings as was
called out on the plans.
• We could create additional parking, by creating diagonal parking next to the last set of
apartment buildings, and carry that diagonal parking out until we turn the corner to the
back fence.
• There would be vertical parking along the back fence.
• There would be vertical parking created along the back fence of the pool area.
• There could still be parking that was called out on the plans, for vertical parking along
the back of the building toward the north side facing the street.
NOTE:
There would be an additional cost, to hide the additional parking on the sides of the buildings
facing North. This cost has not been determined as of yet, because it is unclear as to what
method of construction we would use to do this.
