CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST by Lago De Palmas for Portola Street Access. Mr. Diaz reviewed the memo dated October 9, 1986, noting that as part of the annexation agreement for Monterey Country Club, widening of Portola Avenue was waived and there was to be no access to Portola Avenue. He added that the developer of Lago de Palmas, located within Monterey Country Club, had requested that the Planning Commission now approve access to Portola. Upon question by Councilmember Benson, Mr. Diaz responded that sidewalks, curbs, and gutters had been put in by the City on Portola. Councilman Snyder moved to approve access to Portola Avenue with the following conditions: 1) that the City be reimbursed for its costs of improving Portola Avenue adjacent to the development; and 2) that the entry design and landscaping along Portola Avenue be approved by the Palm Desert Architectural Commission. Motion died for lack of a second. MR. MIKE HOMME, 277 Santa Barbara Circle, Palm Desert, spoke as the developer of Lago De Palmas and distributed copies of a February 23, 1984, memorandum from the Director of Public Works which outlined the agreement to construct the retaining wall and install landscaping (memo on file and of record in the City Clerk's Office). He added that the actual cost was $50,000 instead of the $30,000 estimated fn the memo and asked that the Council take this into consideration. Councilmember Benson stated she felt this matter should be continued for two weeks so that the Council could consider the information presented prior to making a decision. Councilman Snyder agreed that the Council and the current Director of Public Works needed more time to consider this additional information. 6 1 1 MINUTES REGULAR/ADJOURNED PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 9, 1986 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Councilmember Benson moved to continue this item to the meeting of October 23, 1986, to allow staff and the Council time to consider the information submitted by the developer and to determine the amount to be reimbursed by the developer to the City for improvements made to Portola Avenue. Motion was seconded by Snyder and carried by unanimous vote of the Council. C. CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST from Desert Resort Communities Convention and Visitors Bureau for Street Name Change on Highway 111. Mr. Altman stated that the Desert Resort Communities Convention and Visitors Bureau (DRCCVB) had sent a letter to the Mayor requesting that the Council consider their proposal to rename Highway 111 (letter on file and of record in the City Clerk's Office). Councilman Snyder added that the DRCCVB felt Highway 111 should be changed to something more indicative of our communities. He stated it did not necessarily have to be as set forth in the proposal and suggested that a contest be held in which residents of the valley are asked to submit new names for the Highway. Councilman Snyder moved to, by Minute Motion, endorse the concept of renaming Highway 111 and direct the Desert Resort Communities Convention and Visitors Bureau to conduct and administer a contest for same. Motion was seconded by Wilson and carried by unanimous vote of the Council. D. CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST to Vacate Linear Remnant Lots on San Pablo Avenue. Mr. Ortega reviewed the staff report in detail. Councilmember Benson stated she had received several telephone calls regarding the medians on San Pablo which do not extend to Fred Waring Drive. She asked if the street could be widened once the lots are vacated and have the medians continue to Fred Waring. Councilman Snyder suggested that a task force be formed to consider what should be done in this area. 7 MINUTES REGULAR/ADJOURNED PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 9, 1986 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Councilman Snyder moved to, by Minute Motion, refer this matter to the City Manager to direct a task force to study the San Pablo Avenue area and come up with an overall plan for the area which will be compatible as an entrance to the Civic Center. Motion was seconded by Benson. MR. SANDY BAUM, 45-800 Deep Canyon, stated that he was a member of a task force working through the Project Area Committee and felt this existing task force might be able to look at the San Pablo area instead of having a new one formed. Councilman Snyder stated that the intent of his motion was that the City Manager could either use an existing task force or create a new one. Mayor Kelly called for the vote, and the motion was carried unanimously. E. INFORMATION ITEMS 1. Capital improvement Projects Status Report. No Council action needed or taken on this item. 2. Presentation regarding remodeling of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church. Mr. Diaz reviewed a letter from St. Margaret's Episcopal Church Building Committee dated October 2, 1986 (on file and of record in the City Clerk's Office) requesting approval of a 48 foot high roof line. He recommended approval of the request. Mr. George Berkey, Jr., addressed the Council as Vice Chairman of the Building Committee. He stated that Rev. Dean Miller of Palm Desert Community Presbyterian Church had written a letter on behalf of his congregation supporting the requested height variance (on file and of record in the City Clerk's Office). Mr. Milt Chambers spoke as the architect and explained the plans in detail. Upon question by Councilman Wilson, Mr. Chambers responded that he believed the Community Church was 50 feet at its 8 1 MINUTES REGULAR/ADJOURNED PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 9, 1986 • • • • • . • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • highest point. Upon question by Councilmember Benson, Mr. Chambers stated that the plans included remodeling the original church building. Councilman Wilson stated that if the Community Church was indeed 50 feet high, he felt the remodeling of St. Margaret's as proposed would be a nice addition to the community. Councilman Snyder stated he felt it would be a beautiful addition to the community. He stated that several years ago another church had requested a 45 foot height variation, which was not allowed. Other requests for height variation were granted because of extenuating circumstances. He felt there would be serious repercussions from certain groups in the community unless mitigating factors were found, such as the height of the Community Church and its distance from the Storm Channel. Mr. Chambers stated that the church mentioned by Councilman Snyder was denied because they requested the height variance for visibility reasons. He added that St. Margaret's request was due to the size of the congregation and the extra space required for good acoustics. Mayor Kelly stated he liked the project but that he would prefer to have a more detailed staff report before making a decision. He asked if there would be a problem if this matter were continued so that mitigating circumstances could be found, and Mr. Berkey stated that two weeks would not cause any problems. Councilman Snyder moved to continue this matter to the meeting of October 23, 1986, in order to allow staff time to determine the exact height of the Community Church and mitigating circumstances to justify approval of the request for height variation. Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by unanimous vote of the Council. XI.

Mr. Erwin stated he had a personnel matter to be discussed during the Closed Sessfon. C. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL 1. Councilmember Benson stated she had received several telephone calls regarding the schedule for the Adobe and why the contractor is not cleaning up the area as he goes along. Mr. Conlon responded that the contractor has six months to clean up the property and apply for final inspection. He stated that the contractor had a demolition permit for six months and had approxi- mately four to five months to go before it expired. He added that a demolition deposit had been collected but could not be touched until the permit expired.. Councilman Wilson suggested that staff look into this situation and possibly require the contractor to clean up the property at certain phases. 2. TROLLEY Mayor Kelly reported that Sunline Transit Agency was working on a different Trolley program than used in previous years, and this program would be funded by private industry, with one route in Palm Springs and another in Palm Desert.

He added that a total of 20 sponsorships was needed and proposed that the cities of Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and Rancho Mirage each take a sponsorship for this program. He asked the Council to approve a sponsorship by the City of Palm Desert, contingent upon sponsorships also being taken by Indian Wells and Rancho Mirage. He stated that he had spoken with the chairman of the Advertising & Promotion Committee who had fully supported this proposal and the appropriation of the $2,800 sponsor- ship fee from the Advertising & Promotion Committee budget. Councilman Snyder moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Approve the City of Palm Desert's purchase of a sponsorship for the Sunline Transit Agency Trolley program, contingent upon similar action by the cities of Rancho Mirage and Indian Wells; and 2) Appropriate $2,800 from the Advertising & Promotion Committee budget. Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by unanimous vote of the Council. 3. COVE COMMUNITIES PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION Mayor Kelly stated that at that morning's Cove Communities Public Safety Commission, there were many representatives from the news media present as well as staff members and commissioners. The occasion was the addition of a fourth paramedic unit which would be stationed at the Palm Desert Town Center Fire Station, and this would mean more rapid response time and better service to the citizens of Palm Desert. Councilman Snyder added that now there was an ambulance In each of the cities --Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and Rancho Mirage. He stated that when this commission was first formed, there was only one fire truck and one fireman. He said that because of this service, insurance for fire protection had dropped dramatically. 11 MINUTES REGULAR/ADJOURNED PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 9, 1986 • • • a • • • • • • • • • • • • • • * a • a • • • XIV.

Mayor Kelly stated that in giving a talk that same day to the University Club, he realized that Palm Desert had an $18 million budget in fiscal year 1986/87 with most of it going into improvement projects in the City. This work was all being done with only 75 employees. He congratulated the staff and stated that he believed there was no other entity in the country that could accomplish as much with such a small number of employees, and the barbecue was to show their appreciation for this work. 12 '!1Ne r MINUTES REGULAR/ADJOURNED PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 9, 1986 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • XVIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF ZONE CHANGE FROM PR-5 TO AHDPR-l0 TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A 60 UNIT APARTMENT PROJECT OF WHICH 12 OF THE UNITS WILL HAVE AFFORDABLE RENTS AS SPECIFIED IN A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF MAGNESIA FALLS DRIVE AT RUTLEDGE - JOHN M. TURNER, APPLICANT (Continued from the Council Meeting of September 25, 1986) . : Mr. Diaz stated that this item had been continued from the September 25th meeting to allow the applicant to show the plans to adjacent property owners and other interested parties. He added that the recommended ordinances and resolution had not been changed since the last hearing. Mayor Kelly noted that the public hearing was still open and asked for testimony from the applicant. MR. SANDY BAUM, 45-800 Deep Canyon, spoke as the planning consultant for the subject property and stated that since the last hearing he had met with two members of the citizens' committee which had presented a petition to the City Council. They indicated that they would agree to 48 units on that property and that Mr. Turner had also agreed to the 48 units. He added, however, that the homeowners had not agreed to go along with the affordable units. Upon question by Councilman Wilson, Mr. Baum responded that he had not yet received Mr. Turner's letter and did not know if he was agreeing to 48 units with or without the affordable units. Mr. Baum stated that he had concerns about making the project just one-story. He said that iF the Council required only one-story structures, it would result in less open space, and he was not sure the 48 units would fit as one-story buildings. Upon question by Councilmember Benson, Mr. Diaz responded that the 48 units would bring the density down to 8 units to the acre. Mr. Baum added that the developer would wait 10 years per the development agreement and submit plans to change from an apartment development to a condominium project. 13 MINUTES REGULAR/ADJOURNED PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 9, 1986 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Mayor Kelly invited testimony in FAVOR of this project. MR. ED MALONEY, 385 Via Sonora, stated that the Board of Wedgewood Glen supported Mr. Turner's project if it were developed at 48 units because they wanted to see the property developed. Mr. Diaz stated that the General Plan showed this area at 5-7 units per acre. He added that this parcel was the only one left in that area which had not been developed, and if it was developed at 8 units, the overall density would still be in the 5-7 units per acre range. Mayor Kelly invited input in OPPOSITION to this project. MR. JOHN MARSHALL, 43-200 Rutledge Way, stated his continuing concern for the safety of the children in his neighborhood and again asked that the Council cul-de-sac Rutledge; if this could not be done, he said he would be opposed to the Turner project. Mr. Steve Roos, 74-489 Myrsine, stated he was opposed to the development. MRS. DEIDRE MARTIN, 74-346 Myrsine, stated she felt the cul-de-sac on Rutledge was a separate issue from this development. She added that in speaking with Mr. Baum, she did not realize that the zoning would have to be changed in order to allow affordable housing, and she was opposed to changing the zoning on the property. MRS. ALANA TOWNSEND, 43-082 Silk Tree Lane, was concerned for the safety of the children but was opposed to having a cul-de-sac on Rutledge. She agreed that the zoning for the Turner property should be left as it is if changing it would allow affordable housing. MR. STEVE MARTIN, 74-346 Myrsine, stated he would go along with 48 units but was not in favor of affordable housing because he had just bought his house and felt affordable rents would not increase the value of his home. He also asked what would happen to the affordable units down the road when the development was changed to a condominium project. 14 1 M I NUTt;S , REGULAR%ADJOURNED PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 9, 1986 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Mayor Kelly stated that this matter would be considered at the time plans were submitted for the change to a condominium project. MR. JOHN FERRISE, 74-411 Santolina, felt that putting a cul-de-sac on Rutledge would actually add to the traffic and safety problems. He added that he would prefer that the zoning for this property remain at PR-5. MR. DANNY GAFFNEY, 74-429 Buttonwood, agreed that the zoning should be kept at PR-5. Mayor Kelly invited REBUTTAL from the applicant's representative. Mr. Baum stated he did not feel the project would cause more traffic on Rutledge. He added that he concurred with most of the negative comments made and would prefer that the City not require affordable housing for the project. Mayor Kelly declared the public hearing closed. Councilmember Benson stated she felt enough of the City had been given away to developers for apartments and that there was now a high vacancy rate. She did not feel residents should be made to suffer by having two-story structures built and stated she would be in favor of leaving the zoning as it was. Councilman Snyder stated he felt the Council's first responsibility was to existing neighborhoods. He said that since that parcel consisted of 6.2 acres, 5-7 units per acre would amount to 44 units, and this was very close to the 48 units agreed upon by the developer. Mayor Kelly stated he would like to see something worked out that would be economical for the developer to build. He agreed with Councilman Snyder's comments and stated that with the 5-7 units per acre, affordable units would not be required by the City. Councilman Wilson agreed and stated he felt the overall project had a nice design. He was concerned with having two-story structures on Magnesia Falls and adjacent to Wedgewood Glen because it would not be compatible with the rest of the neighborhood. 15 MINUTES REGULAR/ADJOURNED PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 9, 1986 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Councilman Wilson moved to approve the development with 44 units, provided no two-story structures were built along Magnesia Falls Drive. Motion was seconded by Snyder. Mr. Diaz stated that the General Plan designation was 5-7 units per acre, and 44 units would be consistent with the General Plan. He stated the applicant could be instructed to amend the precise plan to reflect the reduction to 44 units with no two-story structures allowed along Magnesia Falls Drive or across from Wedgewood Glen development. Councilman Wilson withdrew his motion, and Councilman Snyder withdrew his second. Councilman Wilson moved to instruct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution and ordinance to reflect 44 units with no two-story structures along Magnesia Falls Drive or adjacent to the Wedgewood Glen development and to instruct the applicant to revise the precise plan. Motion was seconded by Snyder and carried by unanimous vote of the Council. Mr. Erwin stated that no action was required on the resolution and ordinances submitted in the original staff report for the September 25th meeting. XIX. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - D None XX.
