City of Palm Desert
TO: City Manager and City Council
FROM: Assistant City Manager/Director of Community Development
DATE: September 22, 1988
SUBJECT: Wall at Rancho Grande/Town Center
After discussions with all parties involved and a meeting with representatives
of the Town Center and Mr. Pickel, it must be reported that we are at an
apparent impasse.
The Town Center has stated, after reviewing the situation with legal counsel,
that they will remove the wall subject to the city accepting an easement and
constructing a public sidewalk.
The possibility of creating an assessment district to construct the sidewalk
improvement was discussed. Mr. Pickel stated that this alternative was not
acceptable.
The Town Center stated that they would not pay for the construction of the
sidewalk.
To clarify once again, all of the property in question is private property and
the city is presently not legally obligated to remove the wall in question.
The position of the Board of Realtors continues to be that if a sidewalk is
constructed that a wall be built adjacent to their property.
Staff recommendation also remains the same. If it is the determination of the
council that the city became involved in this matter, that a sidewalk be
constructed to public street standards be built.
