CONTENTS: COLOR COPIES OF PROPOSAL
Recommendation:
To approve the design proposal "Ocotillo Garden" by Brian Gottlieb in the amount of
$14,000 for the Whitewater Professional Building located at 43-100 Cook Street, Palm
Desert, California.
Executive Summary:
The City of Palm Desert's Planning Department conditioned the Whitewater
Professional Building for a ramp assessable for persons requiring wheelchair access.
The developer, Brian Gottlieb, is proposing to apply the Art in Public Places funds for
the project. The total project is estimated to be $61,982.00 and the estimated AIPP
fees are $18,000. Currently, the developer has paid $14,000 into the fund. The
developer/artist has designed the ramp structure as the public art component, which is
titled: "Ocotillo Garden". Reimbursement of funds not to be released until the developer
provides documentation of project completion and appropriate forms and invoices.
Discussion:
The Art in Public Places Commission conditionally approved the design concept for the
Whitewater Professional Building at its meeting of April 15, 2006, but requested that the
developer bring back the landscape design to show how the artwork was going to be
integrated with it, due to the title being "Ocotillo Garden". The original designs did not
include a component to reflect the type of landscaping the artwork would be surrounded
by.
