Williams Director of Environmental Services City of Palm Desert 45-275 Prickly Pear Lane Palm D cert, CA 92260 Dear Mr. Williams: Thank you for the opportunity to review the tentative map for Tract No. 9377 located adjacent to the westerly side of State Highway Route 74 between Carriage Trail and Homestead Road. This map shows a 32' wide entrance at the northerly end of the tract. We suggest that the entrance be at least 40' wide within 100' of the State highway. A portion of the runoff from the proposed development is directed towards the State highway. This additional water when combined with upstream runoff may exceed the gutter capacity. It is suggested that a catch basin be placed in the curb near the north entrance road. The water collected by the catch basin could possibly be discharged into the Palm Valley Storm Channel. The improvements to the highway should include a left -turn lane to all roads being used for access to this development. The developer must obtain an encroachment permit from the District 8 office of the Department of Transportation prior to doing any work within the State highway right of way. It is recognized that there is considerable public concern about noise levels adjacent to heavily traveled highways. Land development, in order to be compatible with this concern, may require special noise attenuation measures. Development of this property should include any necessary noise attenuation. This portion of Route 74 has been officially designated as a scenic highway. It is desirable for any future development to enhance the beauty of this scenic highway corridor.
