II. CASES
CASE NO. 178 MF - TRANSCOPIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION - Approval of final
working drawings for a 38 unit condominium development and preliminary
landscape plans. Bill Lo was present.
The Chairman advised Mr. Lo that the size of some of the landscaping
materials should be increased. Specifically the Jacaranda Acutifolia
to be increased to a 30" box, the Solix Babylonick to a 24" box, the
Brachychiton Populneum to a 24" box, the Ceratonia Siliqua to a 42" box,
the Schinus Molle to a 24", the Pinus Pinea to a 24" box and the Wheeler's
Dwarf to 5 gallons, in addition the Olea Epropaca should be field grown
and have a minimum 18' diameter crown.
The Chairman also noted the Board's concern over the lack of shading of
the window area, particularly on the east, west and south elevations. Al-
though the Board had previously approved the passive solar features
(ie: overhangs and patio covers), the applicant was urged to increase the
extent of window shading in order to further limit the amount of direct
sun infiltration into the units. The Board felt that because the window
shading features had been previously approved, that it would not be
appropriate to require further revisions to the plan at this time.
On a motion by Jackson, seconded by Cook, the Board approved this request
subject to the following condition:
1. That the proposed landscape materials be increased in size as noted
above.
Motion carried unanimously 4-0.
/C
IASE N0. 140 C - FIDELITY FEDERAL SAVINGS - A final approval of plans for
Savings and Loan building in Hughes Investment Center. Bob La Fon was present.
The Chairman explained that the Board was satisfied with the revisions
which had been incorporated into the final plans, with the exception of the
style of the clock face.
MINUTES
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING PAGE TWO
MAY 12, 1981
II. CASES (CONTINUED)
Mr.La Fon assured the Board that the boulders used in landscaping will
be brown sun -varnished as previously requested. The clock face can be
redesigned to encompass more of the available area and also provide a
definite spanish theme.
On a motion by Cook, seconded by Gregory, the Board approved this
request subject to the following condition:
That the clock face be redesigned and submitted to Staff for approval.
CASE NO. 148 C - CLIFF SWANSON INDUSTRIAL SUBDIVISION - Approval of final
Tract landscaping plan and business park identification sign. Mr. Foster
was present.
Mr. Foster said that the landscaping along the front of the lot south of
the entrance, had to be planned around the retention basin which was required
to be provided for the site. The proposed 22.7 square foot sign is to be
located on the wall on each side of the entrance.
Mr. Diaz said that the sign ordinance does not presently provide for
industrial park identification signs. These signs could be approved as
"For Sale Signs" at this time, with the understanding that the sign
ordinance is currently under review and that Staff will recommend the
addition of a section permitting industrial park identification signs.
The Chairman said that the Board was concerned with whether or not a
slumpblock wall should be required across the front of the lot and
back along the north and south property lines for the front 50 feet. The
design of the buildings proposed for the lots adjacent to Cook Street,
will determine whether a slumpblock wall will be required to be installed.
On a motion by Jackson, seconded by Cook, the Board approved this request
subject to the following condition: f
1. That the CC & R's of the Tract include a requirement that the owners
of lots adjacent to Cook Street, being lots 1 and 2 on TT 13236,
be advised that they may be required to install slumpblock walls
adjacent to Cook Street and return slumpblock walls along the south
and north tract property lines, depending on the acceptability of
the buildings proposed on the lots.
Motion carried 3-0-1 (with Gregory abstaining).
CASE NO. 145 C - CROCKER NATIONAL BANK - Revised preliminary plan
approval for a bank. Mr. Wexler was present.
Mr. Smith highlighted the salient points from the staff report and out-
lined the differences between the present proposed plan and the plans
which had been approved by the Board at its April 7, 1981 meeting.
The Chairman outlined the Board's concerns with respect to the revised
plan. The Board was concerned that pedestrians would have to cross four
lanes of drive-thru tellers in order to enter the bank; that patrons
entering the bank were being encouraged to enter from the rear and having
to walk past the mechanical room; that the location of the auto tellers
would not be visible enough and therefore could create a safety problem.
Mr. Wexler said that the proposed solar installation was being relocated
into the roof area above the drive-thru canopy. A parapet wall will
eliminate any view of the solar collectors. The present plan is a com-
promised submission because the bank must also obtain the approval of the
property owner in addition to the City's approval.

NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT Preliminary approval of plans for

The proposed project consists of a one story structure of approximately 5968
sq.ft. in the Hughes Investment Center. Previously, the Bank of Indio had
submitted a plan for a bank for this site, but withdrew because of design
problems.
The building will be "L" shaped with an outdoor patio, oriented to the existing
parking lot. Through this patio is the main entry to the Savings and Loan. A
drive-thru lane is provided, which circulates completely on -site. The
architecture is spanish and utilizes stucco, brick, tile, wrought iron, wood
trim, and mission tile. A trash enclosure and some utility equipment will be
relocated to facilitate construction.
The applicant has provided good protection of glass areas by providing roof
canopies over south, east and west windows.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The submitted plans are complete and appear to be acceptable with minor
revisions. Architecturally the structure is superior to the original center.
Compatibility is provided through the same exterior colors. Protection of
C— glass areas is good on all sides.
On the negative side, due to the height of the one story structure, it will
dominate the corner and may appear massive.
Should the Board feel these plans are acceptable, Staff recommends the following
conditions be imposed:
