This requirement will be met in all new ut lity lines for Tract 14004 , utilizing utility stub outs on San Pasqual constructed with Tract 12181 by Lewis Homes. However, in planning and designing the on-site utilities for Tract 14004, the Edison Company estimated the cost of undergrounding the off-site power poles on Avenue 44 at approximately' $150 per foot, or $165 , 000. This amount would only underground four poles adjacent to Tract 14004 and the Civic Center site. Edison would not require the under- grounding of these poles as they are able to serve the Tract from the poles and the existing stub outs in San Pasqual Avenue.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 592, adopted April 29, 1980, approving a develop- ment plan (DP 05-80) and design review case for the above property, imposed several conditions of approval on the proposed development. Condition No. 7 of the Standard Conditions of Resolution No. 592 reads as follows: "All existing electrical distributor lines, telephone, cable antenna television, and similar service wires or cables, which are adjacent to the property being developed shall be installed underground as a part of development from the nearest existing pole not on the property being developed." Subsequently, City Council adopted Resolution No. 80-61 on May 22, 1980, approving an 18 month time extension for Tentative Tract 14004. One of the conditions of the time extension approval reads as follows: "All requirements of Planning Commission action on the Development Plan 05-80, shall be met as a part of the development of the tract. " Based on this information the City will require the undergrounding of the poles on 44th Avenue. The City is prepared to financially participate in such an undertaking on a prorata basis dependent on the amount of street frontage. continued. . . Ms. Betty Williams July 24, 1981 Page Two If it would be of any assistance to you, City staff would be prepared to recommend that the timing of the undergrounding of the utilities be delayed until a later phase of your development, should you request it.

This was in reference to Special Condition No. 6, which was in regards to maintain- ing the 100 ft. wide drainage swale. Mr. Sullivan also objected to Landscape Conditions No. 3 and 4, which required increased sizes of the trees. He felt that it would be costly and unnecessary. MR. BURT LENT, Landscape Architect, explained briefly the layout and location of the car stalls and guest parking. Chairman Miller closed the Public Hearing. i Commissioner Kryder agreed with Mr. Sullivan that the Landscape conditions No. 3 and 4 should be deleted and asked what reasons were given to require the increased sizes. 4 Mr: Williams explained that these conditions were suggested by the j Design Review Board, specifically by Eric Johnson, who is a Landscape Contractor. Mr. Williams stated that Mr. Johnson felt the sizes of the trees would be too small for the climate. He also pointed out that Condition No. 4 is an actual i reduction rather than an increase. € Commissioner Berkey suggested to add "or acceptable alternative approved by the Design Review Board", to Landscape Conditions Nos. 3 and 4. Motion was made by Commissioner Berkey, seconded by Commissioner Kryder, to approve Case Nos. DP 05-80 and 207 MF, as amended, by adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 592, subject to conditions. Carried unanimously. VIII. OLD SINESS - NONE IX. NEW BUS ESS A.

P . and P Zone Districts Located Northerly of and Adjacent to 44th Avenue between San Pablo Avenue and San Pasqual Avenue , and a Related Request to Utilize the Required Drainage Fees as a Credit Toward the proposed Drainage Channel Embodied Within Said Subdivisions . Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing open and asked for the Staff Report. Mr . Crump reviewed the Staff report and pointed out that the applicant had filed a letter requesting that their fees for drainage be utilized within their project . He stated that the main item of concern with the Planning Commission was a Special Condition #7 to their Resolution #453 dealing with improvements of Magnesia Falls Drive where it crosses the /hbCGll 4i lci"lCf PA 1 l VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) B. LEWIS HOMES (Continued) Channel . As a result of applicant input , the Commission had decided to modify #7 to leave the decision to the City Council . He stated that it was Staff ' s recommendation to delete #7 from consideration. Councilman Wilson asked Staff' s rationale for deleting #7 . Mr . Crump responded that after research, Staff determined that the improvement would provide an alternate access which would not necessarily be required for access to the site , thus imposing a condition on the applicant beyond that which would normally be required. Councilman Wilson asked if this was not contrary to previous actions of the Council where other developers had been required to accept conditions such as this , and Mr. Crump advised that each instance had to be reviewed individually. Mayor Mullins invited input in FAVOR of the request . MRS . BETTY WILLIAMS , Division Manager , Lewis Homes , addressed Council stating that they had reviewed the conditions as they were presented by Staff and were in agreement with all conditions with the exception of the request for the bridge. She also respectfully requested Council ' s con- sideration of their request that their drainage fees be appropriated to the improvement of the Channel in their project . Mayor Mullins invited input in OPPOSITION to the request , and none was offered. He declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman Brush moved and Mayor Mullins seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No . 79-18 , approving Tentative Tract No . r 14003 . Councilman Wilson asked for discussion and expressed that 111 he was in total agreement with the request for use of the drainage fees but had serious concerns over the deletion of Special Condition No . 7 . He stated that he felt this would be an important access for this development due to increased traffic resulting from the development of the property. Therefore , he felt it was an obligation of this developer to see to it that the road was completed . Councilman Brush asked if there wasn' t some question as to whether or not you can put these costs on one developer when the improvement is going to be required whether the project is developed or not . Councilman Wilson pointed out the proposed Rancho Bella Vista Development wherein they would have been required to construct drainage improvements that would not have directly benefited their project. Council- man Brush stated that in that case, the development itself would have increased the drainage in the area by 20-25%, so the developer should have been responsible for it . Dave Erwin stated that there was a legality in assessing a developer if the developer were not creating the need for the improvements . - Councilman Wilson moved-that Special Condition #7 be reinstated . Further discussion following relative to the channel crossing and the whether or not it should be a bridge or a paved crossing. Mayor Mullins reopened the Public Hearing to receive input from Lewis Homes ' s engineer . MR. STAN MORSE , 45-445 Portola Avenue , addressed the Council stating that their plans showed their paving would stop short of the channel in that they did not want to create a dry weather crossing that would go no where . This could create a dangerous crossing. G.G . A&110 LrrS Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman Wilson asked that the record state that he did not necessarily mean a bridge, but a satisfactory crossing. Councilman Wilson moved that the following additional condition be required of the developer : "Subdivider shall provide for improvements either in cash, bond , or some form of security agreement satisfactory to the City Manager, as required by City Engineer to extend Magnesia Falls Drive to cross the 100 ' drainage channel adjacent to northerly side of subdivision, but not necessarily a bridge .

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 80-61 , approving an 18 month extension of time. B. DISCUSSION: This request for an extension of time along with a similar request for TT 14003 was originally heard at the City Council meeting of March 13, 1980. Because the original Development Plan (DP..13-78) had expired and the applicants were seeking approval of a new Development Plan, this request was continued to this meeting. The Planning Commission at their meeting of April 29, 1980, approved a new Development Plan (DP 05-80) for this tract and Tract 14003, which is immediately to the north and west. This Tentative Tract was originally approved by the City. Council on March 8, 1979. Attached are the minutes for that meeting for your review. The major item of discussion at the April 29, 1980, Planning Commission meeting pertained to the maintenance of the 100 foot wide drainage swale which runs north--south along the easterly boundary. The applicants felt that the drainage swale, which is to be landscaped, should be maintained by the City in that it is a public area. The condition of the new Development Plan pertaining to the swale states that maintenance of the drainage swale is to be provided by the Homeowners Association, or by an alternative acceptable by the City Council in their subsequent review of the Tract Map time extension. Planning Staff feels that the drainage swale should be maintained by the applicants. As justification, Staff would offer the follow- ing comments: 1. The drainage swale is indicated as an easement and not a separate lot dedicated to the City. Transmittal Letter TT 14004 May 22, 1980 Page Two DISCUSSION (continued) 2. The applicant has included the landscape drainage swale as open space in their calculations. 3. The proposed landscaping and sidewalk systems is designed as an integral part of the tract development. Based on the justification given above, Staff recommends that the applicant be responsible for maintenance of the 100' wide drainage swale. Attached is a Draft Resolution recommending conditions of approval utilizing the original approved Resolution with conditions updated to comply with current requirements. Additionally, a condition has been added requiring Homeowners Association maintenance of the drainage Swale. r 45-275 PRICKLY PEAR LANE, PALM DESERT,CAUFORNIA 92260 TELEPHONE (714) 346-O6I1 March 20, 1980 Lewis Homes of California 45-445 Portola Avenue Palm Desert , California 92260 Subject : BST FOR APP TIME EXTENSIONS FOR TENTATIVE TRACTS 14003 RO 1400 Gentle me .

REQUEST FOR DELET�A£3-q� REQUIREMENT FOR DRAINAGE FEES FOR TRACTS 1 003 AND 1 00 LEWIS HOMES , APPLICANT . Mr. Beebe reported that these two tracts are located adjacent to the proposed Civic Center site , easterly of San Pasqual and northerly of 44th Avenue. As part of the approval of the tracts , the construction of a trapezoidal channel .was required from 44th Avenue to Magnesia Falls .

Williams Lewis Homes 45-445 Portola Avenue Palm Desert, CA 92260 Re: Request for Time Extension Tentative Tract Nos. 14003 and 14004 Dear Ms. Williams: Please be advised that the conceptual Development Plan (DP 13-78) , which the referenced Tentative Maps seek to implement has expired. Development Plan approval was granted December 14, 1978, by City Council Ordinance No. 194. A similar situation has arisen recently (where the Development Plan had expired) and the Council continued consideration of the Tentative Map time extension, to allow a refiling of the Development Plan. We might consider a similar approach in this instance, to preserve the Tentative Map approvals, but it would require that your firm be prepared to file the new Development Plan application (with presently required exhibits) , on March 3, 1980. Further be advised that the request for a Tentative Map time exten- sion must be accompanied by a fee of $50.00 ($100.00 total for both Tracts) , before processing is begun. You may contact the Principal Planner, Mr. Murrel Crump, for further details regarding filing of a new Development Plan, or other related matters. Very truly yours , Paul A.

Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing open and asked for the Staff Report. Mr . Crump reviewed the Staff report and pointed out that the applicant had filed a letter requesting that their fees for drainage be utilized within their project . He stated that the main item of concern with the Planning Commission was a Special Condition #7 to their Resolution #453 dealing with improvements of Magnesia Falls Drive where: it crosses the " dU� March 8 , 1979 Page 2 VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) B. LEWIS HOMES (Continued) Channel. As a result of applicant input , the Commission had decided to modify #7 to leave the decision to the City Council . He stated that it was Staff' s recommendation to delete #7 from consideration. Councilman Wilson asked Staff' s rationale for deleting #7 . Mr. Crump responded that after research, Staff determined that the improvement would provide an alternate access which would not necessarily be required for access to the site, thus imposing a condition on the applicant beyond that which would normally be required. Councilman Wilson asked if this was not contrary to previous actions of the Council where other developers had been required to accept conditions such as this, and Mr. Crump advised that each instance had to be reviewed individually. Mayor Mullins invited input in FAVOR of the request . MRS . BETTY WILLIAMS , Division Manager , Lewis Homes , addressed Council stating that they had reviewed the conditions as they were presented by Staff and were in agreement with all conditions with the exception of the request for the bridge. She also respectfully requested Council ' s con- sideration of their request that their drainage fees be appropriated to the improvement of the Channel in their project. Mayor Mullins invited input in OPPOSITION to the request , and none was offered. He declared the . Public Hearing closed. Councilman Brush maved and Mayor Mullins seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No . 79-18 , approving Tentative Tract No . 14003 , Councilman Wilson asked for discussion and expressed that he was in total agreement with the request for use of the drainage fees but had serious concerns over the deletion of Special Condition No . 7 . He stated .that he felt this would be an important access for this development due to increased traffic resulting from the development of the property. -Therefore, he felt it was an obligation of this developer to see to it that the road was completed. Councilman Brush asked if there wasn' t some question as to whether or not you can put these costs on one developer when the improvement is going to be required whether the project is developed or not . Councilman Wilson pointed out the proposed Rancho Bella Vista Development wherein they would have been required to construct drainage improvements that would not have directly benefited their project . Council- man Brush stated that in that case, the development itself would have increased the drainage in the area by 20-25%, so the developer should have been responsible for it . Dave Erwin stated that there was a legality in assessing a developer if the developer were not creating the need for the improvements . :_ Councilman Wilson moved,-that Special Condition #7 be reinstated. Further discussion following relative to the channel crossing and the whether or not it should be a bridge or a paved crossing. Mayor Mullins reopened the Public Hearing to receive input from Lewis Homes ' s engineer . MR. STAN MORSE, 45-445 Portola Avenue, addressed the Council stating that their plans showed their paving would stop short of the channel in that they did not want to create a dry weather crossing that would go no where . This could create a dangerous crossing. March 8 , 1979 Page 3 Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing closed . Councilman Wilson asked that the record state that he did not necessarily mean a bridge, but a satisfactory crossing. Councilman Wilson moved that the following additional condition be required of the developer : "Subdivider shall provide for improvements either in cash, bond, or some form of security agreement satisfactory to the City Manager , as required by City Engineer to extend Magnesia Falls Drive to cross the 100 ' drainage channel adjacent to northerly side of subdivision, but not necessarily a bridge.

TT 14003 and TT 14004 Tentative Tract Maps Lewis Homes of California — Dear Mr. Williams : This letter is in response to your request- for comments and conditions of approval regarding the above referenced projects . The Palm Desert Community Services District attempted to provide the previous Lewis Homes developments Tract Nos . 12181-1 and 12181-2 with domestic water service. The District requested the City' s cooperation in making service by Palm Desert Community Services District a condition of approval . As you know, the City refused to cooperate . The developer has avoided any contact with the Community Services District dispite numerous attempts by the District to contact the representatives . Presumably water service is being pro- vided by the Coachella Valley County Water District, dispite the fact that the property involved was annexed to the community Services District in 1974. We simply wish to state that Palm Desert Community Services District is willing to provide the above .referenced projects with domestic water service. Also the District wishes to annex the property. Should the developer be interested, the representatives should contact the District. If you have any questions in regard to the above, please do not hesitate to contact us .

TT 14004 - Request for approval of a Tentative Tract Map to allow 142 single family condominiums on approx- imately 27 acres located between San Pablo Avenue and San Pasqual , north of 44th Avenue. Mr. Crump made the presentation of cases to the Commission. The Applicant is requesting that Special Condition No . 7 be deleted, as the right-of-way width has been fixed and this would not be appropriate to carry on this resolution. Chairman Kelly asked for any questions or comments from the Commissioners at this time. Commissioner Berkey noted that Special Condition No. 4 should read "$1, 500. 00 per acre" rather than simply "$1 , 500. 00" . Chairman Kelly then asked if the Applicant would care to make a presentation . BETTY WILLIAMS , representative for Lewis Homes. Mrs. Williams agrees with Staff recommendations except for Special Condition No . 7 , stating that this condition was not on the Development Plan conditions. She contends that under the Subdivision Map Act , municipalities bear the burden of this cost . She does not feel that they should have to pay half of the cost to build this bridge; however , they will agree to use any excess per/acre drainage fees to be used toward the drainage channel . Commissioner Snyder asked if the fees were put into the channel fund or to a specific project . Paul Williams stated that they are put into the fund . At present , this Tract Map must pay $1 , 500. 00 per acre into the City drainage fund, but it is not designated how it is used. �,r Minutes Pago Five Palm Desert Plann( Commission January 30, 1979 VI . (cont . ) E. (cont . ) Mrs. Williams said that on previous discussions, it was indicated that the money would be used toward major drainage. Commissioner Snyder thinks it is rather unfair to ask developer to pay into drainage fund and then assume the additional obligation of the bridge. Discussion ensued regarding this question. A suggestion was made that Special Condition No . 7 could be modified to leave out specific mention of the bridge, and leave that issue up to the City Council. Mr . Crump offered alternative wording as follows : "Sub- divider shall provide for improvements as required by City Council to extend Magnesia Falls Drive to cross 100' drainage channel . " That would leave the decision on the issue up to City Council . Betty Williams did not agree with putting the issue in limbo. Mr . Crump stated that the issue would need to be addressed by the Council . Chairman Kelly declared the Public Hearing open , asking if anyone wished to speak in FAVOR or OPPOSITION of the proposals. Being none , she declared the Public Hearing closed. On a motion by Commissioner Kryder, seconded by Commissioner Berkey, Planning Commission Resolution No . 453 was approved as amended (amendment below) , and Resolution No . 454 was approved as presented. 1 . Special Condition No. 7 will now read : "Subdivider shall provide for improvements as required by City Council to extend Magnesia Falls Drive to cross the 100 ' drainage channel adjacent to northerly side of subdivision.

PUBLIC FACILITIES REQUIREMENT: Dedication of a six (6) acre park site, as defined in DP 13-78, is required to satisfy park land dedication for the subject Tentative Maps (TT 14003 & TT 14004) , and previous Tentative Maps (TT 12181-1 & TT 12181-2). III. DISCUSSION: The proposed Tentative Tract Maps seek to implement an approved over-all Development Plan providing for 282 dwelling units and public park dedication on the subject site. Proposed lot no. 141 of Tentative Tract 14003, contains a six (6) acre public park and the planned civic center site. Dedication of the park site is required to satisfy the Public Facilities requirement for the subject maps and two other tracts; therefore, it should be defined as a separate lot to more easily facilitate dedication (see Special Condition No. 1 ). Features of the proposed maps are in accordance with the approved Development Plan. Right-of-way dedication and improvements were established in the previous plan review and are conditioned to be implemented by these maps. Page 3 IV.
