Re: Turn arounds at Western ends of Taylor Avenue
and Covington Drive, Palm Desert
Dear Mr. McConnell:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation of yesterday afternoon, the purpose of this letter is to set
forth our agremeent regarding the referenced turn arounds.
You, Mike Grimm, the President of the Montecito Homeowners Association, and I met some
time ago to discuss this issue. At that time you agreed to approve a thirty,foot radius for each
turn around provided that secondary access be provided to the Montecito project along either the
southerly or westerly boundary or, alternatively, that we agree to install fire sprinklers in houses
to be built on lots J, K-1, K-2 and L.
This either/or condition is acceptable to us and, based upon our discussion yesterday, I believe
it to be your understanding also.
Please sign the enclosed copy of this letter where indicated and return same to the City of Palm
Desert Planning Department.
The above is agreed to:
