Golf course and dwelling unit arranganent ha,s suffered because too much is trying to be achieved on the site: A. Golf course 1. 110 acres minimum necessary for single fai.rwray 18-hole course (180 to provide a safe course) Open Space available 106 acres (for Par 70 course). 2. Single fairways, while allowing the maxirrn�m unit frontage, present the greatest danger from golf balls. MinimLun width of landing area should be 100 yards (landing area is from 150-200 yards) from tee. - Double fairways require snaller sa.fety margin for sliced ba.11s (150 yards total) curve building line sa.ves even more. - By use of well designed doglegs in a single fairway design, adjacent units and streets can curve (or even undulate if a lake is used). - Club house parking - 91 spaces shown; 90 required for golf course, 18 for tennis courts, 1 per tee driving range, plus required spaces for any other use in clubhouse. B. Residential Design l. PR zone requires 50°Jo open space, intending it to be used to enhance unit arrange�nent -- with some portion of that area collected in laxger cormion open space uses -- almost all of the PR open space is devoted to golf course in this proposal. 2. Preponderance of units are laid out in long continuous (straight) segnents. - Minimum (or less) distance sepaxation between buildings (20' ) - nothing ha.s been done to rectify this in the design. 3. Street scene involves continuous gaxa.ge doors and driveways - Driveways not generally accepted as satisfying 0.5 guest space requir�nent. - Minirr�um private street width for paxking on one side is 32' ; 40' for both sides; also provision for guest bays desirable or other parallel bay treatment. 4. Access to units from ma,jor project entrance is not desirable - should be eliminated.. 5. Sw�mning pool areas generally only relate to a few adjacent units (exposure and orientation ha.s not been maximized). 6. Other miscellaneous itans - a. Additional access b. Saving Tamarisk trees along west. C. Zoning considerations l. Portion of project area in O.S. zone (tiYhitewa.ter Channel). Need accurate survey of property, because by scaling from zoning map to site plan, it would appear the southern row of units fall into O.S. zone. • �; ,�; DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE February 6, 1979 CASE NO. : 164 MF APPLICANT: Silver Spur Associates LOCATION: Ironwood Country Club (Area C) ZONING: PR-7 The project under review represents "Area C" of the Ironwood Development. The present case is related to Tentative Tract 14082, which is being processed through the Planning Depart- ment concurrently. The proposed plan meets all minimum zoning ordinance requirements in terms of setbacks and open space. The configuration of units and the units themselves are similar to previous phases of the project. It is recommended that the 6' solid wall proposed for the west side of the project be extended along Mesa View also. � � � � DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE February 6, 1979 CASE NO. : 72 � APPLICANT: Daniel Dworsky Assoc. LOCATION: Southwest corner of Highways 111 and 74 ZONING C-1 , S.P. The applicant is proposing three wall-mounted signs; one on the north elevation, one on the south elevation and one on the east elevation. These consist of red, plexiglass letters with sides painted dark red to match the window frames. The letters will be illuminated per the standards in the Sign Ordinance. In addition to the three wall-mounted signs, small signs will be placed at specific locations, indicating -- drive-up tellers, do not enter and please call again -- these being provided for in the Sign Ordinance. These signs will also have red plexiglass letters, with dark red sides and white plexiglass backgrounds. A ground monument sign is being proposed at the northeast corner of the site with a time-temperature element. The ground monument sign is well integrated into the site design-wise. The one modification to the program Staff recommends is that the words "Columbia Savings" be deleted from the ground monument sign in order to comply with the sign ordinance. Otherwise, the applicant would have two signs per frontage along Highways 111 and 74. An alternative would be to retain "Columbia Savings" on the ground monument sign, but delete the two proposed wall-mounted signs on the north and east elevations. � � � DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE February 6, 1979 CASE NO. : 108 C APPLICANT: S and J Management LOCATION: North side of Highway 111 , west of DeAnza Way ZONING C-1 , S.P. The proposed commercial structure complies with the Zoning Ordinance in terms of parking and landscaping requirements, setbacks, etc. Staff believes the one area that may present a problem is in the area of screening requirements for mechanical equipment. In order to properly screen the air conditioning system, the proposed roof line may have to be modified. . ' �w+' � DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE February 6, 1979 CASE NO. : 322 SA APPLICANT: Sterling Sign Co. LOCATION: North side of Highway 111 , east of Monterey ZONING C-1 , S.P. The proposed sign as presented actually violates the Sign Ordinance. By extending above the roof line, it is technically a roof sign. Staff believes a hanging sign, possibly sandblasted redwood, would be much more attractive, would complement the modest building, and would conform with the Sign Ordinance. ' '�+ � DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE February 6, 1979 CASE NO. : 101 C APPLICANT: Palm Desert Racquetball & Health Club LOCATION: Northwest corner of Painters Path and Highway 111 ZONING C-1 , S.P. Case Nos. CUP 12-78 and 101 C were approved by the Planning Commission on October 31 , 1978. The Conditional Use Permit provided for nine racquetball courts and 40 parking spaces. The applicant has modified the site plan to provide for twelve racquetball courts and 49 parking spaces, and seeks approval of the modification prior to submitting final construction drawings. The Board may make any recommendations in the area of design that they deem appropriate. However, approval of the modified site plan is contingent upon a determination by the Zoning Administrator that the changes proposed are within the limits of the approved Conditional Use Permit. . � � . DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE February 6, 1979 CASE NO. : 42 C APPLICANT: Frank Goodman LOCATION: North side of Highway 111 , west of Deep Canyon ZONING C-1 , S.P. This case was continued from the meeting of January 23, 1979, in order for the applicant to provide additional information. Dimensions and color and material samples have now been provided and appear acceptable. The matter of the number of signs permitted for Mr. Silva apparently requires more looking into as the applicant has indicated each business would be totally separated with individual entrances. " �rrr+ � DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DATE February 6, 1979 CASE NO. : 107 C APPLICANT: Ira L. Johnsin & Assoc. LOCATION: Southeast corner of Highway 111 and E1 Paseo, eas a m eser ZONING C-1 , S.P. Staff recommends that the proposal be modified in the following manner: l . Redesign the northwest corner of the site to provide greater visibility at that traffic intersection. 2. Transpose at least one architectural element of the building design of the existing structure and repeat in the new structure. 3. Provide additional landscaping in the proposed parking area. 4. Provide information in the final construction drawings that will indicate how much of the proposed parking will be provided during the present stage of development.
