Williams Director of Environmental Services City of Palm Desert 45-275 Prickly Pear Lane Palm Desert, California 92260 RECOUD OCT 4 1976 ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CITY. OF PALM DESERT 11611 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 860 Los Angeles, California 90049 Re: Shadow Mountain Resort and Racquet Club; Case No. 43MF Dear Paul: Telephone (213) 820-6661 I am writing you this letter to request the Planning Commission reconsider its decision of August 31, 1976 which required Palm Desert Venture, Ltd. to underground utilities along San Luis Rey in conjunction with the first phase of development at Shadow Mountain. My reasons for requesting the Planning Commission to reconsider their decision are: 1. Hunter Cook, City Engineer, advised us yesterday that he will require the installation of the curb and gutter along San Luis Rey despite the decision of the Design Review Board and the Planning Commission not to require that installation until that portion of the property was developed. 2. Southern California Edison Company and General Telephone Company advised us in the last week that their original estimates of undergrounding these two utilities were incorrect and the es- timated cost would now be approximately $51, 000 for power and $20, 500 for telepheue. This compares to their estimates last June of $20, 000 and $4, 000 respectively. The total cost of under - grounding along San Luis Rey, including $2,000 for cable tele- vision, is now $73, 500 compared to an original estimate of $25, 000 for all three utilities. One explanation for the threefold increase is the fact that the power and telephone lines proposed will serve the existing and future neighborhood requirements in addition to Shadow Mountain's requirements. Attached to this letter are letters from each of the utilities supporting their current estimates of cost. I would also like to remind the Commission that all of the above costs are in addition to the $95, 000 which we are committed to spend for water and sewer for the proposed first phase of 28 units. A substantial Rocky Mountain Regional Office: Aspen, Colorado Letter to: Paul A. Williams October 1, 1976 Page 2 portion, approximately $30, 000, of the $95, 000 is for over- sized water lines to tie Portola to San Luis Rey and to bring the sewer from El Paseo to Shadow Lake Drive. 3. The recent flooding in Palm Desert caused considerable damage to Shadow Mountain. To date, we have spent or committed to spend approximately $80, 000 to repair the damage. This was a totally unforseen expenditure for which we have no insurance to compensate us. In making this request, I am not unmindful of the City's position on the under - grounding of utilities throughout the City. We support this position and are prepared to do our fair share in accomplishing this objective. As you know, we had agreed some time ago to underground the utilities along San Luis Rey when the property that we were going to develop as our first phase bordered San Luis Rey. Since that time, we have substantially changed the develop- ment plan for Shadow Mountain, which the Planning Commission approved last June. The first phase of our development no longer is bordering San Luis Rey, but is in the center of our property and some 500 feet East of San Luis Rey. Be- cause of this change, we feel strongly that it is inappropriate to underground the utilities along San Luis Rey at this time. It is also worth noting again that because of existing power lines crossing San Luis Rey, it will be necessary to place a pole on our side of San Luis Rey to maintain this service which partially defeats the objective of undergrounding these utilities. I am also concerned with the fairness and legality of requiring us to pro- vide power and telephone lines which will have a capacity in excess of our requirements. The California Subdivision Map Act specifically provides that if a developer is required to install improvements which "... shall contain supplemental size, capacity or number for the benefit of property not within the subdivision.... " (Section 66485) that "... the local agency shall enter into an agreement with the subdivider to reimburse the sub- divider for that portion of the cost of such improvements equal to the dif- ference between the amount it would have cost the subdivider to install such improvements to serve the subdivision only and the actual cost of such improvements." (Section 66486). Because of the limited time available since learning of the increased cost, I have not been able to clarify to what extent the utilities are oversized. I do feel that this issue should be resolved before we are requested to underground the utilities. Letter to: Paul A. Williams October 1, 1976 Page 3 ALTERNATIVE I would like to suggest an alternative to the P1 anning Commission. We understand Hunter Cook's requirement that we curb and gutter San Luis Rey and recognize the need to do what we can to prevent any future flood damage. Despite the probability that we will have to remove some por- tions of this curb and gutter in the future when we develop alone San Luis Rey, we appreciate both Mr. Cook's and the City's concern and will in- stall the curb and gutter in conjunction with the first phase of our develop- ment. In return for this, we would request the Planning Commission allow us to defer the undergrounding of the utilities along San Luis Rey until such time as a plan for undergrounding all the utilities in our neighbor- hood is developed and a fair basis established for paying for this work. We recognize our obligation to participate and assure you that we will do our fair share, if not more. As noted earlier, I feel we have done and will do more than our fair share regarding the water and sewer system. SUMMARY I believe the three reasons presented in this letter; (1) the new require- ment to curb and gutter along San Luis Rey, (2) the increase in the esti- mated cost to underground from $25, 000 to $73, 500, and (3) the $80, 000 in flood damage to Shadow Mountain, are a reasonable basis to ask for reconsideration on the issue of undergrounding the utilities on San Luis Rey. Further, we do not think it is equitable or legal to ask us to pay for more than we require or our fair share. I respectively request the Planning Commission agree to allow us to defer the undergrounding of the utilities on San Luis Rey in accordance with the alternative suggested.

The air conditioning condensers are located on the roof but are screened from view by architecturally integrated means. E. Existing Zoning: PR-7 -1- Staff Report Case No. 43MF August 27, 1976 III. BACKGROUND: (continued) F. Adjacent Zoning: PR-7 G. General Plan: The site is designated as potential low density residential (3-5 dwelling units per acre). H. EIR Finding: This project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA as this is a ministerial action. I. Previous Actions: CUP 03-73 amended by the Planning Commission on June 1, 1976. Resolution of approval is attached. IV. DISCUSSION: The Conditional Use Permit for the project was amended in June of 1976. The amendment allows the developer to cluster dwelling units in 2-story buildings around the swimming pool in the center of the project. The amendment of the CUP provided for a number of capital improvements and changes to existing facilities. The issue is when these improvements should occur. Utilities on San Luis Rey should be placed underground as a part of this phase. In addition, the installation of curb and gutter on San Luis Rey should also be required as a part of this construction. All dwelling units must meet the minimum size re- quirement of 1,000 square feet. The conversion of the existing tennis court lights should be required as a part of this phase. The applicant proposes to add a shade to the existing tennis court light fixtures to cut down on external glare. If this proves ineffective, new fixtures will be installed. The Design Review Board made several changes to the landscape plan which should be incor- porated into the approved plan. (One change breaks up the carport structure with planter areas.) The Design Review Board declined to require improvements on San Luis Rey as a part of this phase of construction on the grounds that it would be more appro- priate to install those improvements with the building phase of the project ad- jacent to the road. They also did not require that any of the perimeter fence requirements be installed at this time. The staff recommends that the under - grounding and curb & gutter improvements be installed at this time as this will establish the approach theme for the project from San Luis Rey. The applicant has been planning and re -designing this project for over three years and there does not appear to be sufficient justification for any further delay. It is suggested that the perimeter walls be deferred to a subsequent phase.
