Due to the reduced availability of this species in all Southern California nurseries, we are forced to change this size to 30" box. The trees we have selected are large specimens at this size.

Mr. Cipriani reviewed the cases. Case N D s reviewed and Mr. Larry Spicer of Ironwood spoke to the Comm Mr. Spicer noted that he had sent a letter to the Ironwood residents telling them of this meeting but it appears to be a no show. He then introduced the architect for the project. Mr. Dale Naegle addressed the Commission and noted that the goal of the project was to have living units with privacy and se- curity. He further reviewed the project and noted the location of the tennis courts which allows for maximum unit privacy. Also a 3rd pool has been added, 6 more tennis courts, and additional parking were noted. Mr. Naegle stated that he felt they had met the -concerns of the Design Review Board and the Planning Commission. 0y a . , Mr. Fred Archbuckel, Landscape Architect for the project, noted tcourts obtain individual plan materiaat thel. Also thewateriva ntheswaidentity sof lots f earea willbehandled by a bed of rocks or boulders. Mr. Spicer spoke about the correspondence received from Ironwood residents noting the following concerns: traffic, size of units, creating a resort atmosphere, and density. He then stated that if the tennis courts are considered in the entire site the den- sity would be 5.75 units per acre, without figuring the tennis courts it is 8.5 units per acre. Mr. Spicer noted that he felt the best presentation has been made. Chairman Berkey asked about the impact on Foxtail and noted L his concern with same. He asked if Foxtail couldn't be widened instead of having parking. Mr. Spicer stated that the impact would be the same either way but that this is approach is better looking. Commissioner Snyder stated that Ironwood is a grand project but that this is summer and there are no people here to speak in opposition. Also it will increase the density and the traffic. Mr. Spicer noted that the City conducts business as usual all year round and that Ironwood is no different. Legal notices were sent.

It seems to me that in the desert, at least, housing can be so arranged that a person can Stretch out his arms without poking a finger in his neighbor's eye. Also, I resent the Ironwood developers trying to sneak this condominium tract through during the height of the summer months when most of the other residents of Ironwood are not in residence to protest. I am told that the Planning Commission is scheduled to meet August 1 to consider a new Ironwood plan after the initial one was rejected by a 4 to 0 vote. If this is true, I have not, as of this date, received such notice. I have received the notice regarding the City Council's hearing on the matter set for Thursday, August 10. I will make every effort to be there to express myself on the matter. Somehow or other, it seems that some developers never know when to let a good thing alone. Very truly yours, Alex N.

PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Palm Desert Planning Commission, held on this 1st day of August, 1978, by the following vote, to wit: AYES: BERKEY, KRYDER, SNYDER NOES: NONE ABSENT: KELLY, FLESHMAN ABSTAIN: NONE GEORGE BERKEY, Chairman ATTEST: PAUL A. WILLIAMS, Secretary /tb RECfI*IfIF 0 J U L 2 c- 1978 ENWRONMENTAL SERVICES i J July 21,1978 Mar Ironwood Homeowner: Man} of you have expressed opinions regarSing Ironwood's proposed development around the tennis club. The opinions range from 5orious concern anj opposition no interest v7d sL7;pa2t:. At the prblic bearing on Jul, 5 the Palm Desert Planning Commission heard testirony from three Ironwood residents who were cr.itiv l of the development primarily because of the apparent density an- of potential traffic and parking probleirs that would be created �ii FDEtail lane, the a .jacent street c7 the north. On '.sue_. ay, August 1, at 7 PH, a revised development plan will be pra3e.nt-ed to the Planning Commission and for the first time a full p::e:it:e:; aklon will be made of the Site planning, bitil: ing de_sigi, v7i ch f L:u;: plans said elevations, .recreation areas and. landscaping. I would ttr.fa you to attend in order that you cou.l.d-_se the pros_nta- t.ins f ;_oL hand and thereby develop your own opinion & the de:v=_lor- c.nt. For those of you who may not be able to attend but who, are ire ireetod in know. ... g more, the following describes the principal featuris of the deere Lopment ; 1. As reported to you in the most recent .issue of the IRCPfS& DER, the homes arc one and two stories, range in area from 1155n=q , to 1640 s.cl. and are attached in ecoups of three to sir n'Ii.t:. per building. 2. Each :-von has an attached two -car garage with an insi Vs entry to the living aroa. 3. The bo:ildings are clustered around internal rotor courts; which elimiia;:es any g:,rages having direct access from the pe.-i nc-r:vt streets. 4. Between each pair of building clusters is a landscaped pojest.rian way bcrdered by private walled pat:ics. Thess walkways ease one of the priIlcipal features of t n deve_'_opwant plan, and arc punctuated with varying landscaping, cont:uil nd wator eletrent.s IRONWOOD 49-200 MARIPOSA DRIVE PALM DESERT CALIFORNIA 92260 (714) 346-0551 -2- and a gently changing alignment which prevents one from perceiving the entire walkway -- thereby creating a sense - of change and discovery as one walks through. 5. The buildings are positioned in such a manner that when viewed from Foxtail Lane or Irontree Drive, only the -ends, cr narrowest dimensions, are seen.. As a matter of fact, on Foxtail Lane the buildings (i.nclue.ina garages) occu^y only 58% of the street f::ontage comparr:d with 67% for the existing tracts on the northside of Foxtail Lane. 6. Foxtail Lane will be widened to provide for seventeen parallel - parking bays which will alleviate the existing peak -season parking problem. In addition, there will be approximately fifty off-street spaces for guest parking. 7. _ There has been some concern expressed that this development would attract a buyer who might not bd compatible with the typical Ironwood resident. T_`m not sure I know what a typical resident is but I can tell you that these homes will not be cheap in price or in quality. I expect they will be priced comparably with our Desert Villa homes, probably starting around.$80,000. Moreover, the floor plans are designed to provide comfortable year -around living. They are dcfinite'_y not hotel rooms! R. Each home is planned to have a private patio and individual theraply pool. 9. The architectural appearance is expressly a desert look with shade -creating overhangs and recessed windows. 10. Six new tennis courts will be Milt as a part of the tennis club -and three larg- swimming pool areas will be: developed for the residents of these homes. 11. I have saved for laat the difficult issue of density (the number of homes divided by the number of acres) whic'1 IS probably the least understood and the most hotly daba':ed issue of any development. I would like to offer my view of how the issue, of density should be addressed First, I would like to set aside any question about the leilz.l conformance with zoning. The City of Palm Desert has declared that '-his development does in fact conform with the applicable zon';_ng ordinance.. Second, density should be viewed in term:. of 5_ts impact upon the adjacent.neighborhood.and-Ironwood in gaiiPral. In this case, I believe the neiabbors most affected are those to the north of Foxtail Lane (Tracts 5053 and 4685) and, according to their remarks, they are concerned about -the impact on traffic and parking. In response, we have widened Foxtail Lane and provided parallel parking spaces as indicated earlier. Mariposa and Irontree, the other perimeter streets, have ample unused capacity. -3- 'Yet.another way of viewing density is to make a comparison with the Nearest neighborhoods,. in this instance Tracts 5053 and 4635 (north of Foxtail Lane). The average density of these tracts is 7 units per acre. Thedensity of this proposed development, counting the open space of the tennis club, is 5.75 units per acre (100 dwelling units divided by 17.39 acres). Some would contend that the open arras of the tennis club should not be . credited in computing the project density. Yet, I seriously doubt that any reasonable person would deny this credit if the -tennis club had not been already developed and.this development plan instead proposed building 100 homes, 14 tennis courts and_a clubhouse on the 17.39 acres. For any of you who would care to see the plans please contact me. I will be happy to discuss wise, perhaps I will see you on August 1 at the S///ipcerely, R. L. Spice Presideat cc: Planning Commission, City of Palm Desert RLS/jmc for this development, them with you. .Other - Palm Desert City Hall. NOTE: This is not an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these units. :r 45-275 PRICKLY PEAR LANE, PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA 92260 TELEPHONE (714) 346-0611 REPORT OF PLANNING.

Continued Case No. VAR 04-78 (Cont.) He further indicated that he would do nothing unbecoming of the community. MARION HENDERSON, 73-597 Pinyon, Palm Desert, addressed the Commission on behalf of her husband. She reiterated her husband's comments and emphasized their concern to conform with City regulations. She said the Staff had in- dicated that the building could be reduced to 500 square feet, with 3 spaces. However, Mrs. Henderson continued, the proposed building will conform to the appearance of surrounding build- ings; the distance from the main building to the back door is 5 feet; the entrance to the building will be invisible from the street; the building will be essentially hidden from view; the roof line will be similar to adjacent build- ings; and there will be no blocking of the view. Chairman Berkey asked the applicant if there had been any consideration to the Staff's suggestion. Mrs. Henderson indicated that they would be amenable to a 750 square foot building with appropriate park- ing spaces. Chairman Berkey said there was no basis for granting such - a variance as submitted. /�,u Chairman Berkey asked if there was anyone wishing to speak or or opposition to the proposed project.
