BOB DOWNS, 45-845 San Luis Rey, Palm Desert, addressed Council stating he was installing an energy -saving cooling system for a Mr. Harrington on 73-365 Juniper Street, Palm Desert. He reported that the Palm Desert Property Owners' Association had stopped the work because of their CC&R's preventing roof -top installations. He recommended that the City see to it that energy conservation take priority over special interest groups. Mayor Wilson pointed out that it is the City's policy to allow such installations. However, the City has no power over the CC&R's of the Association, and they are enforceable. He recommended that Mr. Downs meet with the Association in an attempt to resolve the matter. MR. JOE REGALIA, 72-786 Tampico Street, Palm Desert, addressed Council relative to a dust problem in his area caused by the grading at the Town Center. He stated he did not feel the contractor was doing any watering on the job and that his calls to the Department of Building & Safety were to no avail. Mayor Wilson thanked Mr. Regalia and with Council concurrence, directed Staff to investigate and report at the next meeting if no solution had been reached. -2- MINUTES ADJOURNED CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 20, 1982 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MR. JAMES HARRINGTON, 73-365 Juniper Street, Palm Desert, addressed Council as the owner of the property where the energy conservation system was being installed by Mr. Downs. He expressed his frustrations with the Palm Desert Property Owners' Association. He felt the City's Building Department was all that the City needed. While the Association had once served a good purpose, it was no•longer necessary. Mr. Doug Phillips responded that it would be up to the members of the Association to disband the organization. VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. CASE NOS. DP 01-82, ADJ 01-82, AND 164 C - ROY W. CARVER, APPELLANT: REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL FROM CERTAIN CONDITIONS IMPOSED BY THE CITY OF PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION IN GRANTING APPROVAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SAGEWOOD SHOPPING CENTER LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF MONTEREY AVENUE AND COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE. (Continued from the Meeting of May 13, 1982.) Mayor Wilson noted the Public Hearing was still Open in that this matter had been continued from the previous meeting. Mr. McClellan reviewed a site plan of the project with the Council. He noted the appellant had requested that in lieu of a left -turn in, left -turn out median be permitted there, that a modified median to where the traffic could make a left-hand turn onto Monterey be permitted. He said Staff had serious reservations about that request because firstly, as people are coming out to turn left, as they see traffic coming to that intersection, traffic is accelerating if it has been at a stop, and it is difficult to adjust speed. Secondly if a car goes out there and makes a left-hand turn and stops in the median area, it, in effect, becomes a storage area and the second car could hang out into either travel lane and block thru traffic. He stated Staff's recommendation was to deny a median opening there, that traffic can come down Monterey or Country Club, go through the protected turn there at that intersection and go down Country Club and make a right-hand turn into the shopping center. The second recommendation was that a median not be permitted on Country Club within 660 feet of the intersection. The first driveway approach shown by the appeallant is approximately 300 feet, and they are now requesting a median opening there. He noted their civil engineer had come up with a couple of design modifications that have in fact improved the interior circulation. He reviewed those modifications on the site plan. The third issue was the driveway approach to the east. Staff had concerns that that approach was located too closely to the intersection with Sagewood which is 395 feet. In reviewing this with the appellant, it seems to be indicated that Sagewood will not be extended north, thus there will not be a need for a left turn there in the future. This median, therefore, would be permissible based on those facts. However, Staff's strong feeling that it would be better if there were only one driveway opening on Country Club approximately one-half way between Monterey and Sagewood with one median opening. He concluded by stating the opening on Monterey Avenue would create many problems and as the traffic in the future increases, it will be more hazardous. Mayor Wilson invited input from the appellant. MR. STAN MORRIS, Consulting Engineering for R. W. Carver, 73-255 El Paseo, Palm Desert, reviewed their proposed changes on the site -3- MINUTES ADJOURNED CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 20, 1982 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * plan. He respectfully requested Council's approval inasmuch as they felt strongly they would need all the ingress/egress requested. Mayor Wilson stated he agreed with Staff's concern with the opening on Monterey inasmuch as it already carries a great deal of traffic with only more the in the future with the new Town Center being built. Councilman Snyder said he had difficulty approving the interim driveway opening in that it was a known traffic hazard. Councilman Newbrander concurred stating also that there was already a great deal of traffic on Country Club Drive. MR. TIM JOHNSON, 43-101 Portola Avenue, spoke stating that difficulty in getting in and out of a shopping area made drivers angry. MR. BILL CARVER, appellant, spoke in support of his request and stating that in order for them to have a viable project, the needed access. Councilman McPherson stated that although the parking within the project was not an issue, he felt that the row of parking spaces which would back into the major entrance lane of the center was very dangerous. With no further input, Mayor Wilson declared the Public Hearing Closed. Councilman Newbrander moved to deny the appeal to provide a median break on Monterey Avenue and to uphold the Planning Commission recommendation. Councilman Snyder seconded the motion; carried unanimously. IX. RESOLUTIONS A. RESOLUTION NO. 82-47 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, CONCURRING WITH THE DETACHMENT OF PROPERTY IN PALM DESERT AND SUBSEQUENT ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF INDIAN WELLS. Mr. Bouman stated this was a matter the Council had considered in Study Session several times, and now official action is required. The proposed resolutions sets forth the City's concurrence that the property consisting of those three residential lots within the Vintage Club which are within the City as well as a small portion of the extension of Toro Peak be detached from the City of Palm Desert and attached to the City of Indian Wells. Upon motion by Snyder, second by Puluqi, Resolution No. 82-47 was adopted by unanimous vote of the Council. B. RESOLUTION NO. 82-48 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 1981-82 BUDGET TO PROVIDE FOR A PORTION OF COSTS OF REALIGNING THE PALM VALLEY CHANNEL. Mr. Bouman reported that work had been completed last summer on the Palm Valley Channel to improve it in an attempt to reduce the chances of its overflowing during a heavy rain. The City's portion of the cost is $40,000, and the C.V.W.D. has now billed us for it. Since it is not a budgeted item, the proposed resolution is neccessary to allow payment. Upon motion by Puluqi, second by Snyder, Resolution No. 82-48 was adopted by unanimous vote of the Council. C. RESOLUTION NO. 82-49 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A FEE SCHEDULE FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE. -4- MINUTES ADJOURNED CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 20, 1982 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * D. RESOLUTION NO. 82-50 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A FEE SCHEDULE FOR APPLICATION, OPERATION AND INSPECTION OF AMBULANCE SERVICE. Mr. Bouman stated that the Council had adopted an ordinance establishing control and licensing procedures for ambulance service in the City. That ordinance calls for a resolution establishing permitted fees in the City. He noted that these were for non -emergency situations as emergency service will be provided by our paramedics. The proposed resolution sets fees that may be charged and the next resolution, No. 82-50, applies to the fees the applicant would pay in order to operate this service, pay for inspection, and to certify ambulances and drivers. He pointed out that this same schedule had been adopted in the City of Indio and in addition, if the applicant was certified in either Rancho Mirage or Indian Wells, this City would not require him to recertify here. Upon motion by Newbrander, second by Puluqi, Resolution Nos. 82-49 and 82- 50 were adopted by a 4-1 vote of the Council with CouncilmanMcPherson voting NO. E. RESOLUTION NO. 82-52 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, REDESIGNATING THE PURPOSE OF CERTAIN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE FUNDS; AUTHORIZING TRANSFERS BETWEEN CERTAIN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE FUNDS; AND AMENDING THE 1981-82 BUDGET TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATIONS FOR TRANSFERS TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE FUNDS. Mr. Byers reported that the primary purpose of this resolution is to transfer to Capital Improvements the anticipated unobligated fund balances in the General Fund and other revenue funds. In accordance with the Gann Initiative, as long as our total appropriations subject to limitation are less than the legal limit, it is to the City's advantage to make these transfers annually as of the end of the fiscal year. In addition, the resolution would also change the purpose of a number of Reserve Funds. Finally, the resolution would make certain transfers of balances from discontinued and unneeded funds to reserves for active projects. Upon motion by McPherson, second by Newbrander, Resolution No. 82-52 was adopted by unanimous vote. X. ORDINANCES For Introduction: None For Adoption: A.
