DESIGN REVIEVD BOARD MINUTES
APRIL 27, 1982
CASE NO. 163 C (CONTINUED)
Mr. Gregory felt the original landscape plan turned in, had a more attractive
parkway layout than the one being presented. He felt it would be better to go with
a modified version of the original. He also indicated that the planters in the
parking lot could have Evergreen Ash trees which would provide shade and that no
groundcover was shown under the Palms. He felt that a standard overhead spray
type of irrigation would be preferable to the proposed drip irrigation system.
Mr. Gregory suggested that more planting be provided in the front of the building.
He also suggested that the Stockes Holly planted four or five feet apart would take
too long to fill in.
Mr. Frank Koenon, applicant, stated that the original landscape plan was overdone
so he tried to simplify it to conform with the Board's requirements.
Mr. Gregory responded that this is why he would recommend a modified version of
the original plan.
Mr. Koenon indicated that he had been through three different landscape people so
far, but that he would do whatever the Board would recommend.
Mr. Gregory indicated that he would mark the plans with the recommended
revisions.
Mr. Diaz stated that he would need evidence that a mutual access agreement has
been recorded.
Mr. Koenon indicated that he had talked to the other owners regarding the
common easement and he would have a letter drawn up by the end of next week.
On a motion by Mr. Gregory, seconded by Mr. Holden, the final plans were
approved subject to evidence of the easement being recorded and the landscape
plans being revised as listed on the revised landscape plan on file with the City.
Motion carried unanimously 5-0.
CASE NO. 168C
Applicant/Address: RENAISSANCE LAND COMPANY, 72-231 Johnson Drive,
Indio, CA 92201.
Nature of Project/Approval Sought: Application for final approval of working
drawings for a 2,100 square foot radio station facility.
Location: Southeast corner of Park View and Acacia Drive.
Zone: R-1, 12,000
Mr. Diaz asked if the Board would be willing to look at the final drawings for this
case at the present time even though it was not listed on the agenda. He added that
the preliminary plans had been submitted and approved by the Planning Commission
at its April 20th meeting.
