Mike McConnell Riverside County Fire Department 44-400 Town Centre Way Palm Desert, CA 92260 Dear Capt. McConnell : This letter is to inquire about the possibility of your department conducting a controlled burn of building structures located at 44- 544 Monterey Avenue in Palm Desert . These buildings are presently unoccupied and boarded up. We have been informed they are being broken into, lived in by transients, and have become a general nuisance for the City and the neighborhood . We at Charter Communities own the 10-acre site on which these buildings are located and are proceeding to finalize working drawings for development of a Residential Care facility on the site . We would, therefore, be demolishing these buildings sometime within the next several months . We have been approached by the City of Palm Desert and informed by their Code Enforcement Division that the buildings, in fact, are a nuisance . We would be willing to allow the Fire Department to practice firefighting techniques in a controlled situation should that be desirable and the timing meet with your needs in the near future . Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the legal description of the property as well as a survey showing the location of the buildings . If you have any questions or need further legal documentation in order to proceed, please feel free to contact me or give me a call . Very truly yours, N r an J .
