Recommendation:
Waive further reading and adopt: Resolution No05-111 setting a
public hearing to consider a street name change for the westerly
portion of Greene Way.
Background:
The attached resolution sets a public hearing date for January 12, 2006 to consider a street
name change for the westerly portion of Greene Way. A committee comprised of City staff
met and elected to change the street name to Tierra del Sol, which is consistent with the
residents' request.
The residents have identified an issue with the name of this section of Greene Way.
Greene Way appears to be a public street for approximately 120 feet from the terminus of
Edgehill Drive to the bridge over the Palm Valley Channel but is actually on CVWD right of
way. West of the channel, there are dirt roads across access easements. Of the five
homes across the channel, three have Edgehill addresses while two have Willow Street
addresses. The church also has an Edgehill Drive address, as do two CVWD facilities,
while the tennis courts have a Greene Way address. Staff has been in contact with and will
notify all affected property owners, and a legal notice will be published in the Desert Sun.
Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached Resolution setting a public hearing
date for January 12, 2006 to consider a street name change for Greene Way.

Dear Mr.Drell,
As you are aware a situation has occurred recently in which several of us,the homeowners in
Sec 30, West of Green Way Bridge& South of the Cahuilla Hills Park, discovered that we are in
jeopardy with our current addresses and are now in a pending status for a street name. We have
also discovered that we are unlisted for emergency services and although we are currently
receiving mail the post office is waiting for an actual street name from the city for our small
community. The confusion has lied with our street address histories ranging from lot#s to the
names of both Willow and later Edgehill,we(the residents)are all using one, both or all three of
the addresses concurrently.
We have all met and discussed the issue and have agreed as a group on the name"Tierra de
Oro", which we find quite fitting for our golden hills. This street name was not listed in the 2006
Thomas Guide and we believe that it is not in use anywhere in the City of Palm Desert. We will be
contacting the City of Palm Desert building department for our special request of simple single
digit street numbers. These numbers would correspond with our new box#s set up by the postal
service and could prominantly be displayed by the property owner for emergency service
purposes..
The homeowners listed below request the City of Palm Desert to officially name their street as
requested and provide the agencies listed above. Thank you for your courtesy.

Dear Mr. Drell:
We are writing you in reference to the issue of renaming our streets from Edgehill Drive and
Willow Drive, to Tierra De Oro. It came to our attention that Desert Cities Baptist Church objected
to this for several reasons.
As the three residents who live in the area off the casement between the park and the church
we Ore strongly in favor of this change,since we k.;re most negatively impacted by the current
conditions.
The name change will assist us by making our homes easier to locate, especially for Emergency
services. (We hove had experiences where this has been an issue.) Our homes are difficult to
find since there is another Edgehill Drive near Indian Creek Villas. You are also aware that the
Post Office is strongly in favor of the change.
We have met,and believe we have come up with a solution that will satisfy all parties
concerned. We would like the street where we, the Fishers, Gagnons and the Averys reside,
changed to Tierra De Oro, and not involve the Adlers, Ms. Baratield, or Desert Cities Baptist
Church.
We three wish to make the drive leading to our homes more aesthetically appealing,thus also
being a benefit to the City:
• First, after obtaining appropriate approval and permits,we plan on installing an
electronic gate at the beginning of the drive,where the old mailboxes are located. (Our
second choice would be where the easement ends and our property begins.
▪ Next, we Intend to get rid of the Individual trash receptacles, obtain a large dumpster,
and relocate it, so it is not as visible and obtrusive.
• The lost portion of the plan Is to seek assistance from the City to improvements to the
surface of the easement. We will be doing the some to our driveways.This road has
become an attractive nuisance since the Clty's Installation of the hiking trails and the
expansion of the Cahuilla Hills Park parking lot.In season,there are several lost drivers
and parked cars belonging to hikers. This hazard obstructs access to our homes.
After dark,we make frequent calls to the police department, requesting officers to come
and disperse teens who choose this location to drink and party in the lot or on the road.
Because the church bars access to their lat, the teens use our road to drive over the curb
to gain access to the rot. Because of ail these factors.the road is In terrible condition. It
has potholes,is rough and Is VERY. VERY dusty.
We are confident that all of these actions will improve the overall area, and make us all more I !!!
safe and secure. Mr. Drell, we ask that you carefully consider our request, and assist in expediting
the administrative process so we may proceed as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to

•
For ail intents and purposes, our church resides at 45-825 Edgehill Drive and has for twenty
years.
4. All of our present advertising (newspaper, business cards, door.hangers, yellow pages,
letter head, envelopes, church website, Internet search engines, church search websltee,
denomination directory, etc.) has our church listed on Edgehill Drive and any literature that
includes directions says in part,"follow Edgehill Drive which ends In our parking lot".
To have a street name change forced on us at this time would have a negative impact on and
would be very.costly and time consuming to our ministry.
For these reasons, the congregation, trustees, and pastor of the Desert Cities Baptist
Church request that no further action be taken on.a street name change in our area"until each'of
these objections can be addressed and resolved to the mutual satisfaction of all.
As a footnote to the above, Philip Drell suggested I apprise you of discussions we have had
regarding signage for our church because of#1 and #2 above. The trustees,I and Mr. Drell would like
to take this up with you sometime after August 15,2005.
I wilt be on vaoatlon from July 31 through August 14, but if you need to speak with me regard-
ing these matters,please call my cell phone 760-424-6065..
best Regards,
Tim Sklafer,Pastor •
