WILLIAM SHIELDS, 73-851 Ocotillo, Palm Desert, addressed Council and explained a problem he was having with the construc- tion of a home in Silver Spur Ranch. He had called for an inspection by Public Works for curb and gutter and had been told that he not only required a permit, but also that the forms which had been set were too low. Mr. Shields stated that not only had the Public Works Department approved his engineering plan, but no one had told him he needed a separate permit for the curb and gutter. He stated that his forms were not wrong but that the street was too low and when it was corrected, his curb and gutter would be out of line. He pointed out that the lack of communication was now causing him a financial hardship and asked Council for some type of relief. Mr. McClellan explained to the Council that the engineering plan alluded to was a plot plan that had been submitted by the builder for flood review purposes. He explained the problems with the current forming of the curbs and gutter, pointing out that if built as now formed, a drainage problem would be created. He stated that a cross gutter and spandral master street plan was not necessary, just a normal procedure would take cross sections and it could be done correctly. Mr. Erwin suggested that a possible alternative to the problem would be bonding. This would allow the forms to be removed and the curb and gutter installation to take place when the grade of the street is established. Mr. McClellan stated there would be no problem with that alternative. The bonding would be for a one-year period. Councilman Snyder moved and Councilman Puluqi seconded to direct Staff to prepare an agreement for bonding of the curb and gutter instal- lation. Motion carried unanimously with the members present.

SPECIAL CONTINUED ITEM (Note: Council directed this item be placed at this point in the Agenda at their meeting of November 13, 1980). A. ORDINANCE NO. 236 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROHIBITING AND PLACING A MORATORIUM ON TIME-SHARE PROJECTS IN ANY ZONE WITHIN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT. Mr. Bouman reported that this item was pursuant to direction given to the City Manager and City Attorney at the previous meeting of the Council at which time the adoption of an ordinance prohibiting time-sharing projects was contemplated. Mr. Erwin had recommended to Council then that they wait and see what affects would be felt, and he has since prepared the proposed ordinance. Mr. Erwin asked that Council note that the last line in Section 8 of the proposed ordinance should be deleted. He explained that the ordinance would enact a 90-day moratorium for time-sharing projects in all zones of the City, except for projects which are already involved in time-sharing and registered with the Department of Real Estate as of November 28th. A list of these people will be obtained. Councilman Newbrander moved and Councilman Puluqi seconded to waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 236 as amended. Motion carried unanimously with the members present. IX. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF WEED ABATEMENT ASSESSMENT CHARGES TO BE LEVIED ON LOTS CLEANED DUE TO THEIR BEING A FIRE HAZARD. Mayor Wilson declared the Public Hearing open and asked for Staff's report. f Mr. Bouman stated that this was an action that is pursuant to the recommendation of the Fire Marshal concerning the need for weed abatement of vacant lots. Owners of these properties are notified to clean them and when they don't, the City undertakes the project. Of the list presented, about 15 parcels have not paid. The action staff is requesting by minute motion is to approve the per parcel assessment charge and place a lien on the property. Mayor Wilson invited input in FAVOR of the request and none was offered. He invited input in OPPOSITION to the request, and none was offered. He declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman Puluqi moved and Councilman Newbrander seconded to approve the per parcel assessment charges as presented and authorize Staff to file liens with the County Recorder. Motion carried unanimously with the members present. B. CASE NOS. TT 15734 & 15735, SHADOW MOUNTAIN RESORT AND RACQUET CLUB, APPLICANT: CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR A TIME EXTEN- SION FOR ONE (1) LOT SUBDIVISIONS FOR CO-OP PURPOSES WITHIN THE SHADOW MOUNTAIN RESORT AND RACQUET CLUB. Mayor Wilson declared the Public Hearing open and called for Staff's report.

TT 15734 & 15735, SHADOW MOUNTAIN RESORT & RACQUET CLUB (Cont'd) Mr. Ted Lennon, 73-734 Shadow Lake Drive, addressed Council as the applicant. He stated that there was a misunderstanding on the part of Staff in that they were time-sharing cooperative apartment units which is totally different. Therefore, it was his opinion that the extension of time request had nothing to do with whether they continued time-sharing or not. If the extension is not granted, he stated that it would cause financial difficulties and manpower problems, but they were prepared to file for the Final Map if necessary. He asked Council for their favorable consideration of his request. Mayor Wilson invited input in FAVOR of the request, and none was offered.- He invited input in OPPOSITION to the request, and the following was offered: Mr. Ross Werner, 46-027 Portola Avenue, addressed Council on behalf of the Fairview Cottage Association and expressing their concern that this time-sharing might create a high density situation. They were much opposed to that. Mr. Lennon responded that the density of the project would not be increased. Considerable Council discussion followed dealing with Council's concern over time-sharing projects. Councilman Puluqi asked what affect the extension of time would have on time-sharing requirements and Mr. Diaz responded that the extension would not make a difference at all on time-sharing operations and therefore any guidelines that would arise as a result can be applied to these units should they become time-shared. He, stated that the applicant had indicated on record that they are not time-shared, and thus Staff would change its recommendation for approval of the request. Mr. Lennon stated that two different units were being discussed and that some had already been sold as cooperative units and were time-shared. Mr. Diaz suggested that a condition of approval of the extension of time be that none of these units be time shared. Mayor Wilson declared the Public Hearing closed. Further discussion followed dealing with the affect the moratorium would have on this project and the representation by the applicant that they had already filed with the Department of Real Estate for time-sharing. Mayor Wilson reopened the Public Hearing. Councilman Puluqi moved and Councilman Newbrander seconded to continue the matter to the meeting of December 18, 1980, to allow for further study of the affect of the request on the time-sharing issue. Motion carried unanimously with the members present. C. CASE NO.

Motion carried unanimously with the members present. XII. CONSENT ITEMS HELD OVER None XIII. NEW BUSINESS A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PROSECUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RIVERSIDE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY Mr. Bouman reported that this was an extension of an agreement with the District Attorney's Office to utilize their prosecution services when it is convenient for us. Their rates have increased substantially from $28 per hour to $44.23 per hour. In addition, the rate for investigation by Court Personnel had increased from $27 per hour to $33.76. The other difference in the contract allowed either party to terminate the contract with 60-day notification to the other.

REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF WAIVER OF SIGNALIZATION & DRAINAGE FEES FOR PALM DESERT TOWN CENTER, ERNEST W. HAHN, APPLICANT. Mr. McClellan reported that the applicant had requested these fees be waived. The fees were original conditions of approval of the parcel map. He stated that the applicant is required to install five traffic signals and to make modifications and interconnections to existing signals at an estimated cost of $800,000. Therefore, Staff recommended waiving the sig- nalization fee. In the case of the drainage fee, he pointed out that Ordinance No. 218 requires the developer to construct this type of facility and provides for reimbursement only for the construc- tion of Master Plan drainage facilities. It would then seem inappropriate to waive the drainage fees unless the developer's civil engineer could prove these facilities are in lieu of other proposed Master Plan drainage facilities. Mr. Jay Tarrenton, 200 Continental Boulevard, El Segundo, addressed Council on behalf of the Hahn Company. He stated their concurrence with Staff's recommendation which would allow them to come back with verification and further jus- tification for waiving of the drainage fees. Councilman Snyder moved to: 1) waive the signlaization fee, and --2) not waive the drainage fee and request engineering date from the developer's engineer for rationale to refund drainage fees for non -master plan storm drain installation. Councilman Newbrander seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously with the members present. C. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF REMOVAL OF DATE PALMS ON 44TH AVENUE, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, APPLICANT. Mr. McClellan reported that the Edison Company lines were being interfered with by the subject Palm Trees. Thus they were willing to remove them at their expense.

Mr. McClellan advised that he would be certain to request this of the Edison Company. Mr. Erwin suggested that the condition be added as part of the approval. Councilman Newbrander moved and Councilman Puluqi seconded to approve the Edison Company request with the condition that the trees be planted somewhere in the City, preferably on City property. Motion carried unanimously with the members present. D. REQUEST FOR FORMATION OF CURB, GUTTER, & TIE-IN PAVING ASSESS- MENT DISTRICT FOR "DISTRICT B" OF PALM DESERT rxurtxrY OWNERS ASSOCIATION Mr. Bouman reported that this was the second petition received from the Palm Desert Property Owners Association and a third one is on its way. He stated that the City greeted them with mixed emotions in that it is nice to have citizens want to improve their property, but there is an obligation on the part of the City to match their spending with engineering and tie-in paving. Staff's recommendation was that Council forward the petition to the City Manager for initiation of the district. Councilman Puluqi moved and Councilman Newbrander seconded to receive the petition and refer it to the City Manager for initiation of an Assessment District. Motion carried unanimously with the members present. XIV. CONTINUED BUSINESS None XV. OLD BUSINESS A.
