SAN JACINTO STREET PERRIS, CALIFORNIA 92370 TEl EPHONE (7141 657-3183 After meeting with Mr. Ray Gamble to discuss the proposed fire station site at the Hahn Center in Palm Desert, we submit the following: The 185' by 250', with clipped corner site, as shown on supplemental site plan X-41, dated June 27, 1980, of general site plan S-1 , as submitted to the city and prepared by Millard Archuleta and Associates, is acceptable, provided, a. The internal identified measurements of the actual fire station facility can be changed to better suit the needs of the fire department; b. A continuing one-way traffic flow pattern can be established on the fire station site; c. The parking areas can be adjusted; d. That representatives from the fire department are given adequate opportunity to meet with the design architect prior to drawings being initiated, and e. That the fire department have the opportunity for additional input as the plans proceed. The concept of a two story facility office and living space is acceptable; again, provided there is ample input prior to final internal design. Basically, what needs to be said is, we accept the site but have identified many changes that will be necessary to make it suit fire department needs. There is adequate room and the capability exists to make these changes without additional acreage. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 616 Page Five Paul Williams Director of Environmental Services City of Palm Desert Ref: DP 08-80 7/1/80 Page 2. This, approval is contingent upon three items that need to be solved by the City of Palm Desert and Hahn Development Corporation; 1. The traffic signal capable of being controlled at the fire station must be installed at the intersection of State Highway 111 and El Paseo; 2. El Paseo needs to be extended in a northerly direction to intersect with Avenue 44, or some other cross street, with a controlled signal device provided, as traffic flow warrants. This is necessary for access to the residential and College of the Desert areas, without competing with Highway 111 traffic. 3. A one light signal device to stop vehicles exiting the Hahn parking area, midway, between Highway 111 and the proposed fire station site. The exit adjacent to the fire station site, immediately to the south, does not appear to need a traffic control device, since it is an employee parking area. If you have further questions, please contact Fire Marshal, Eric Vogt, or Division Chief, Bruce Cowie at the Rancho Mirage station, telephone 324-1002. By to Att: (1) cc: B. Cowie, Division Chief E.
