III. CASES (cont. )
Case No. 225 MF- SAN CLEMENTE GROUP CORPORATION - Preliminary approval of
plans for a 51 unit residential condominium project. Mr. Bill Crawford and
Mr. Newville were present.
Mr. Smith highlighted the salient points from the staff report. Due to
significance of some of the changes it was suggested that the case should be
referred back to the applicant for revisions prior to granting preliminary
approval .
The Chairman summarized the Board's concerns as follows:
i) Canvas awnings are not suitable for solar protection due to the
deterioration problem. A permanent for of solar protection integrated
into the design of the building is required.
ii) Board policy requires minimum 20 foot deep driveway aprons be provided
whenever possible.
iii) The design and color scheme as proposed does not compliment the desert
environment. A more subtle color scheme would lend itself to the site
location.
On a motion by Cook, seconded by Gregory, the Board continued the application
in order to allow the applicant to make the necessary revisions.
Motion carried 4-0.
Case No. 151 C & 642 SA - PALM DESERT NATIONAL BANK - Preliminary approval of
installation of a factory manufactured temporary modular building for bank's
temporary use.
Mr. Smith advised the Board that the applicant had requested a continuance
to permit revisions to the site plan to be made which would increase the
amount of stocking available for the drive-up teller.
Prior to agreeing to the granting of continuance the BoarH indicated that
the applicant should be advised that the west side of the building should
be provided with adequate solar protection.
The Board then granted the requested continuance.

Mr. Sawa showed the Board a sketch of a proposed new store front for a portion

follows:
i) The proposed banner should be located under the soffit to maintain
7 feet of clearance.
ii) No lattic work should be located outside.
