present. Motion carried 4-0 (Hobbs, Johnson, Cipriani, Urrutia).
NO. 75MF, SILVER SPUR ASSOC., APPLI

4. CASE NO. 55C, AL KURI, APPLICANT
Request for approval of preliminary site, floor and elevation plans for a

Sage Lane. Applicant present.
Mr. Kuri presented a new set of plans to the Board which reflect the revisions
requested previously by the Board and those revisions requested by the Palm
Desert Property Owners Association. The Board indicated that they believed it
would be more beneficial to have the name of the building on the front of the
structure rather than the names of the tenants. In addition to the name of
the building on both the front and rear of the structure, the applicant will
be permitted to place 4 hanging tenant signs in the interior courtyard, one
in front of each establishment or office. Final sign plans will have to be
submitted to the Design Review Board for approval.

sign program at a future date. Motion carried 4-0 (Hobbs, Cipriani, Urrutia,

VIII. NEW BUSINESS (Continued)
B. C.V.C.W.D. Water Line Extension (Continued)
Commissioner Snyder spoke about the terrible conditions of the streets
in the City after the water district has put in the sewers and that the
streets are not put back in their original condition once the work is
completed.
Mr. Cook spoke about the problem noting that he and Mr. Lowell Weeks of
the water district have had several conferences on the problem and that
he felt that the problem would soon be resolved.
Commissioner Kelly noted that the water district is responsible for the
streets and should have to redo them if not done right.
Mr. Cook indicated that the water district is responsible for leaving the
streets in the same condition as they found them and for there repair for
one year after the initial work. He also noted that the water district
could be taken to court if the problem was not solved. Mr. Cook offered
to take the Commissioners on a tour of the City to review the problem
areas.
Some discussion followed with regard to the difference between emergency
and routine repair of streets and how the water district determines such.
Chairman Berkey asked for a motion at this time. Commissioner Kelly moved
that the Commission approve Planning Commission Resolution No. 263 finding that
the proposed project is in conformance with the adopted Palm Desert General Plan,
seconded by Commissioner Reading; carried unanimously (4-0).

ry Club.
Case No. 55C, Al Kuri, preliminary site, floor and elevation plans for
a commercial structure to be located on the north side of E1 Paseo, west
of Sage Lane. It was noted that the Design Review Board had requested
several modifications which the applicant had made and the Palm Desert
Property Owners Association had approved the project. In responce to
one of the Commissioners question regarding parking Mr. Cipriani indicated
that the plans showed more than the required amount of parking. Finally
the project has 13 standard conditions of approval.
Case No. 56C, Poul S. Moller, request for approval of preliminary site,
grading and landscaping for an open storage area to be located north of

City Engineer indicated it would flow east across adjoining property until
the property is more developed.
Case No. 79MF, Irwin Siegel, request for approval of final construction
drawings for a 180-unit condominium project to be located at Kings Point -
Shadow Mountain Drive. Mr. Cipriani indicated that the applicant had

IX. DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ITEMS (Continued)
A. Case No. 79MF (Continued)
when a complete set of plans had not been submitted. Mr. Cook noted that
he would receive in the next few days a report from consultants on the
needed drainage in the area and then he could review the plans and make
the final decisions.
MR. IRWIN SIEGEL, Builder, 17001 Ventura Blvd., Ste. 200, Encino, Ca.
spoke to the Commission in favor of the project, noting that further
delay of the project would cause problems for the seller, the purchaser,
and the completion of the project. Mr. Siegel indicated that if the
180-units could not be approved the project would be stopped at this
point.
Chairman Berkey and Commissioner Snyder pointed out that there are no
dams for the water run-off in the area and that the City is presently in-
volved in a law suit with the City of Indian Wells over the same problem.
The Commission recommended that the Case be continued until the August 2nd
meeting and allow time for Mr. Cook to receive his report from the consultants and
make a decision on the flood control issue.
Case No. 82MF, Portola Village, request for approval of preliminary site,
floor and elevation plans for a 48 unit condominium project to be located
on the east side of Portola, south of Goleta. The need for larger turn-
around areas was noted, also the relocation of the swimming pool as re-
quested by the Design Review Board process.
MR. STEVE FLESHMAN, 74-133 El Paseo, Palm Desert, spoke to the Com-
mission in favor of the project noting that the streets are private
with upgraded elevations, with less traffic and no through traffic.
Commissioner Kelly noted the reasons for the relocation of the pool would
be due to the children in the area.
The Commission recommended that Condition No. 12 be deleted with regard to the
relocation of the swimming pool.
Case No. 51C, HMS Plaza West, request for approval of final construction
drawings for an office complex to be located on the southwest corner of
E1 Paseo and Lantana. Mr. Cipriani recommended that Condition No. 18 be

scaped berm a minimum of 3 feet in height shall be installed along Larrea
Street."
MR. STEVE FLESHMAN, 74-133 E1 Paseo, Palm Desert, was in agreement
with the conditions of approval.
Motion by Commissioner Reading, seconded by Commissioner Snyder to accept the
Design Review Board Cases by Planning Commission Resolution No. 264 with the follow-
ing changes to the Resolution: Case No. 79MF is continued to the Planning Commission
meeting of August 2, 1977, Condition No. 12 of Case No. 82MF is hereby deleted and
change Condition No. 18 of Case No. 51C to read as follows: A sidewalk six (6)
feet in width in addition to a landscaped berm a minimum of 3 feet in height shall be
installed along Larrea Street; carried unanimously (4-0).
X. DISCUSSION ITEMS
Discussion followed led by comments by Mr. Williams on the information provided
the Commission concerning the Draft Growth Impact and Evaluation Report by CVAG, the
letter from Assemblyman Daniel E. Boatwright regarding SB467, the Draft Blowsand Con-
trol and Protection Plan by CVAG, and How Will America Grow, the importance of each
and comments now and later would be appreciated. It was noted that the growth of the
valley will triple by 1980, population figures noted in the reports came from the
staff of the cities involved.

Palm Desert Planning Commission
June 14, 1977 Page Eight
The first case Mr. Cipriani presented to the Commission was Case No.
58SA - Sign for a Commercial Structure for ROY WILLIAM CARVER. Mr.
Cipriani gave a background of the request and explained that the DRB
had upheld their previous decision to approve the sign program as
modified at their meeting of May 24, 1977.
BERNARD LEUNG, 73-960 E1 Paseo, Architect for the project, spoke
to the Commission regarding the modification of the approved sign
program by reducing the length of the facia signs from 12 feet to
8 feet.
There was a discussion between the Commissioners, staff, and Mr. Leung
concerning the proposed reduction in the length of the facia, the original
ORB approval, and conformance to the City's Sign Ordinance. It was de-
cided to delete Condition No. 4 from the Conditions for this case.
(Condition No. 4 reads as follows: "Each business shall be permitted
one (1) four (4) square foot hanging tenant sign. Such signs may be two-
sided.").
CASE NO. 75MF - Preliminary Site, Floor, and Elevation Plans for a
217-Unit Condominium Project for SILVER SPUR ASSOCIATES.
Mr. Cipriani explained that this was the continuing development of
Ironwood Country Club and contained the same layout and design as the
previous "phases. Mr. Williams informed the Commission that they would
be seeing this project as a Tentative Tract at their next meeting
scheduled for July 5, 1977.
CASE NO. 23SA - Sign Program for Palms to Pines for ROY WILLIAM CARVER
Mr. Cipriani reviewed the applicant's proposal and the Design Review
Board's decision regarding this case. He also explained that the existing
signs would be removed. Further, the new signs would read "Palms to Pines
East" and "Palms to Pines West". Finally, the project would end up with
6 directory signs and 4 welcome signs. Mr. Williams explained that these
would be map -type signs and they would not be visible from passing vehicles.
CASE NO. 53C - New Elevations and Revised Site Plan for an Existing
Restaurant for CARL COX
Mr. Cipriani explained that this was a remodel of an existing structure
formerly known as the Tortilla Flats Restaurant. There were no major
changes to the structure itself, just changes to the exterior. Mr.
Cipriani showed pictures of the structure to the Commissioners. Finally,
he explained that a six (6) foot masonry wall would be installed at the
rear of the property adjacent to Garden Square.
Commissioner Reading moved that the Planning Commission approve Resolution
No. 251, with the deletion of Condition No. 4 for Case No. 58SA. Commissioner
Snyder seconded the motion; motion unanimously carried (5-0).
CASE NO. 76MF - Preliminary and Final Site, Floor, and Elevation Plans
for a 193-Unit Condominium Project for BIDDLE DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY, INC.
Mr. Williams explained that there was a unique situation with regards to
this case which required the preparation of a separate resolution. He
explained that the Design Review Board abstained from any decision on this
case and referred the matter to the Planning Commission. Further, the ORB
had sympathized with the applicant and felt that it would prove a hardship
to require the applicant to provide for single -story units along Highway 74
at this stage of the process. Also, the Planning Commission had already ap-
proved the two-story units.

Members Present: Bill Hobbs, Bernie Leung, George Minturn, Frank Urrutia,
Ralph Cipriani (for Paul Williams) ft
Others Present: Sam Freed
After a one -hour study session, the meeting was called to order at 5:30
p.m. It was moved by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Minturn that the min-
utes of the previous meeting of May 24, 1977 be approved as written. Motion
carried 4-0 (Leung, Hobbs, Minturn, Urrutia).
CASE NO. 23SA, ROY WILLIAM CARVER, APPLICANT
Request for approval of a sign program for the Palm to Pines Shopping
Center.
Mr. Cipriani reviewed the applicant's proposal and presented the additional
information the Board had requested regarding the location of existing signs.
The Board determined that the welcome signs should read "Palms to Pines East"
or "Palms to Pines West" depending on which side of Plaza Way the signs are
located. In addition, they believed the two signs proposed for the intersec-
tion of Plaza Way and El Paseo are unnecessary. Conditions #5, 06, and #7
were added to the Conditions of Approval to reflect these determinations.
A motion was made by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Minturn that the sign
program be approved as modified and subject to the conditions of approval.
Motion carried 3-0 (Urrutia, Hobbs, Minturn), Leung abstained.
CASE NO. 58SA, ROY WILLIAM CARVER, APPLICANT
Request for approval of sign program for a commercial structure located in
E1 Paseo Square.
Mr. Cipriani informed the Board that this case had been referred back to the
DRB by the Planning Commission. After the Design Review Board's first review,
staff had been made aware of the fact that the applicant has approval of the
sign program stemming back to September 7, 1976 and that the applicant's most
recent request would only modify the approved sign program by reducing the
length of the facia signs from 12 feet to 8 feet. The Planning Commission
wanted the ORB to review the case once again in light of this new information.
Mr. Minturn made a motion that would have approved the applicant's original
sign program and their recently requested modification. However, his motion
died for the lack of a second.
A motion was then made by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Urrutia which re-
affirmed the Board's previous decision and approved the sign program as
modified by the Board at their May 24, 1977 meeting. Motion carried 2-1
(Yes - Hobbs and Urrutia) (No - Minturn), Leung abstained.
4. CASE NO. 55C, AL KURI, APPLICANT
Request for approval of preliminary site, floor, and elevation plans for a
commercial structure to be located on the north side of E1 Paseo, west of
Sage Lane.
The discussion of this case centered around the actual location of the pro-
posed structure on the site. Mr. Leung indicated that the proposed building
as shown, encroached into the rear parking easement so that the plan would
have to be revised. The Board agreed that the pitch of the tiled area on the
facade would have to be decreased as it posed a potential threat by lying at
the angle shown. Mr. Hill indicated that he had discussed the proposed wrought
iron gates with the applicant informing the applicant that they would either

have to be removed or remain open at any and all times during which any of
the offices or stores are occupied in order to meet fire and building codes.
A motion was made by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Leung that the preliminary
site, floor, and elevation plans be rejected. Motion carried 4-0 (Leung,
Hobbs, Urrutia, Minturn).
5. CASE NO. 74MF, DILLMAN & DILLMAN, APPLICANT
Request for approval of preliminary site, floor, and elevation plans for
a duplex to be located on the east side of Panorama and south of E1 Camino.
The Board rejected this case as the design of the proposed structure is not
in keeping with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and would be
detrimental to the harmonious, orderly, and attractive development contemplated
by the Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the Board believed that the design of
the proposed development would not provide a desirable environment for its
occupants not its neighbors nor is it aesthetically of good composition,
materials, and texture. Condition #9 was deleted as Mr. Hill indicated it
did not apply in the present case.
A motion was made by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Minturn to reject the pre-
liminary site, floor, and elevation plans. Motion carried 4-0 (Leung, Hobbs,
Urrutia, Minturn).
6. CASE NO. 53C, CARL COX, APPLICANT
Request for approval of new elevations and revised site plan for an existing
restaurant located south of E1 Paseo and East of Lantana.
The Board had no objections to the new addition. Discussion centered around
the entrance gate and valet parking station. Mr. Urrutia stated that there
was a weak relationship between the main structure and the entrance gate.
He suggested the applicant devote further study to the problem. The Board
indicated that the signs were not being approved. Mr. Hobbs suggested the
applicant might consider a reduction in the height of the gates and Mr. Leung
sug.gested additional study with regard to the relationship between planar
surfaces.
A motion was made by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Leung to approve the new
elevations and site plan and to require the applicant to study the entrance
gates further and present a revised plan for them at a future date. Motion
carried 4-0 (Leung, Hobbs, Urrutia, Minturn).
7. CASE NO. 75MF, SILVER SPUR ASSOCIATES, APPLICANT
Request for approval of preliminary site, floor, and elevation plans for a
217-unit condominium project to be located at Ironwood Country Club.
The Board added a condition, Condition #11, which requires the applicant to
explore the feasibility of solar heating for all swimming pools. Mr. Hobbs
asked the applicant why the one proposed swimming pool which is located near
a fairway coundn't be re -located to another area across the street. The ap-
plicant indicated that the site Mr. Hobbs was referring to was unsuitable for
a pool due to the slope. Mr. Urrutia indicated that the Design Review Board
was considering the fairways as a part of the overall site plan so that ap-
proval of the preliminary site plan would include approval of the fairways.

A motion was made by Mr. Minturn and seconded by Mr. Hobbs to approve the
preliminary site, floor, and elevation plans including the fairways, but
that the landscaping adjacent to the dwelling units would be considered on
June 21, 1977. Motion carried 3-0 (Leung, Hobbs, Minturn), Urrutia abstained.
CASE NO. 76MF, BIDDLE DEVELOPMENT INC., APPLICANT
Request for approval of preliminary and final site, floor, and elevation
plans for a 193-unit condominium project to be located west of Highway 74
adjacent to the Mountainback Development.
After a lengthy discussion, the Board decided to require that all buildings
within 150 feet of Highway 74 be limited to single story for aesthetic reasons.
The applicant protested this condition indicating it would cause hardship in
terms of re -design at this state of the process. Upon hearing the applicant's
appeal, the Board decided to abstain from the case as they believed their in-
put was being requested too late in the review process to be able to enforce
the requirement of single story units on Highway 74 without causing unnecessary
hardship to the applicant. In addition to the single story issue, the DRB
urged the applicant to explore the feasibility of solar heating for all of the
swimming pools and they informed the applicant that the landscaping would be
reviewed at the next ORB meeting.
It was moved by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by
the case and forward their comments to the
