MINUTES
PALM DESERT DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
MAY 10, 1977
5:00 PM - CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS
1. The study session of the Design Review Board began at 4:40 p.m. in the
Council Chambers in the Palm Desert City Hall. The purpose of this
study session was to review the cases on the agenda.
Members Present: Bill Hobbs Bernie Leung
George Minturn Frank Urrutia
Eric Johnson Jim Hill
Ralph Cipriani (for Paul Williams)
Others Present: Sam Freed
After a twenty minute study session, the meeting was called to order at
5:00 p.m. It was moved by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Minturn that
the minutes of the previous meeting of April 26. 1977 be approved as
written. Motion carried 4-0 (Minturn, Hobbs, Leung, Urrutia).
It was then moved by Mr. Minturn and seconded by Mr. Leung that the min-
utes of the meeting of April 12, 1977 be approved as written. Motion
carried 4-0 (Minturn, Hobbs, Leung, Urrutia).
2. CASE NO. 45C - BANK OF AMERICA
Request for approval of final construction plans for a bank building to
be located at the northeast corner of El Paseo and San Luis Rey. Appli-
cant present.
Mr. Cipriani reviewed the final plans from the standpoint of signs and
landscaping. He indicated that the final plans reflect an alternative
sign program to that approved by the Board and the Planning Commission
previously. The three directional signs contained in the final plans
are as approved. However, where both the Board and the Planning Com-
mission had approved a ground monument sign and a logo sign, the applicant
is now showing a logo sign and one sign on both the east elevation and
the west elevation in place of the ground monument sign for a total of
three signs. The Board had no objections to the alternative sign pro-
posal contained in the final plans as the alternative still adheres to the
Zoning Ordinance and approval of the alternative would not set an unde-
sirable precedent.
The Board indicated that they would like Mr. Johnson to review the land-
scaping as shown in the final plans prior to the Planning Commission's
review of the case so that his recommendations could be considered at their
meeting. It was moved by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Minturn that the
final plans be approved subject to any changes recommended by Mr. Johnson
upon reviewing the landscaping element. Motion approved 4-0 (Hobbs, Min -
turn, Leung, Urrutia).
3. CASE NO. 67MF - CLAUDE AND RONALD SULLIVAN
Request for approval of final construction plans for an apartment complex
to be located at the southeast corner of Sunset and Abronia.
Mr. Cipriani indicated that the final plans are basically unchanged from
the preliminary plans. The applicant has added a laundry room and the
final drawings reflect the Planning Commission's recommendation that the
first parking space be widened.
It was moved by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Leung that the final plans
be approved. Motion approved 4-0 (Hobbs, Leung, Minturn, Urrutia).

4. CASE NO. 70MF - SILVER SPUR ASSOC.
Request for approval of preliminary site, floor and elevation plans for
the expansion of an existing clubhouse at Ironwood Country Club.
The proposal was reviewed at which time it was indicated that new rest -
rooms, a new kitchen and additional dining space will be provided so that
up to 300 persons will be able to be accomodated at any given time.
A motion was made by Mr. Minturn and seconded by Mr. Hobbs that the pre-
liminary site, floor and elevation plans be approved. Motion carried 4-0
(Hobbs, Leung, Minturn, Johnson) Frank Urrutia abstained.
5. CASE NO. 68MF - PALM DESERT VENTURE, LTD.
Request for approval of preliminary site, floor and elevation plans for
46 condominium units to be loacted east of San Luis Rey and South of
Shadow Lake Drive.
The applicant requested that the case be continued so that the changes
requested by the Planning Commission could be incorporated in the site
plan. A motion was made by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Leung to con-
tinue the case to the next meeting of the Design Review Board. Motion
carried 4-0 (Hobbs, Minturn, Leung, Johnson) Frank Urrutia abstained.
6. CASE NO. 48MF - AFFILIATED CONSTRUCTION
Request for approval of additional elevations for homes for Parkview
Subdivision.
The Board approved elevations 201B, 301B, & 401B as shown while requiring
that elevations 302B and 402B be revised. The Board indicated that they
want the applicant to provide material samples, side elevations, colored
elevations and a plot plan showing the location of the various elevations
before they will approve the case.
A motion was made by Mr. Hobbs and seconded by Mr. Minturn to reject the
elevations. Motion carried 4-0 (Urrutia, Hobbs, Minturn, Leung) Johnson
abstaining.
7. CASE NO. 26SA - IMPERIAL SIGN CO.
Request for approval of a new sign on an existing restaurant located at
73-325 Highway 111. Applicant present.
Mr. Cipriani informed the applicant that the Design Review Board had dis-
cussed the case during the study session and recommended two additional
conditions. First, the DRB believed the sign should be placed above the
overhang rather than attached to it. Secondly, the Board suggested that
the color of the letters be changed from red to ivory. Mr. Freed asked
the applicant to provide an elevation of the structure showing the pro-
posed sign which the applicant agreed to.
A motion was made by Mr. Minturn and seconded by Mr. Hobbs that the case
be approved subject to conditions. Motion carried 5-0 (Urrutia, Hobbs,
Leung, Minturn, Johnson).
8. The meeting was adjourned at 5:45 p.m.
