Original on File 14Mkh City Clerk's Offir
By minute motion, decline the offer of dedication for street right-of-way on
West Verba Santa Drive.
Discussion:
The Public Works Department has received a series of requests from the Montecito
Homeowners' Association that the City accept dedication of public right-of-way on West Verba
Santa Drive and assume maintenance responsibilities of what is now a private street. The
street serves as primary access to nine residential units plus two single family residences, and
as secondary access to approximately 30 residential units whose primary access is on Highway
74. West Verba Santa terminates at Pitayaha Street to the north and at a private alley to the
south. The street has not been maintained properly and is currently in a poor state of repair.
This street is not needed by the general public for traffic circulation. Staff has thoroughly
reviewed the situation and finds that there is no public benefit in the City assuming responsibility
for maintenance of this existing private street.
Therefore, staff recommends that the request to accept dedication of West Verba Santa Drive
and assumption of maintenance responsibilities be declined.

CkTY C3F PALM DES�RT ,
Thank you for your assistance and attention to aur request t1�t the city assume ownership
a£ West Verba Santa. We have been corrirnunicati�g with various officials far several
years abaut this issue and are hnping fhat you will be able to reso�ve it.
Currently the short street is used by own�rs at Nueve Grand� HQA and Mantecito HOA
as w�ll as two private properties. Of cvurse, it is also the pass thrflugh to Highway 74 for
many who drive through this area.
in the past th� city has resealed ttl�ie st�eet and renamed it. While our complex was built
pri�r to the incorparation of Palm Desert there was a roadway serv�ing the two private lots
which pre-c�ated aur commuruty. Evidently Riverside County pravided the raadway prior
to our development. We wauld appreciate it if the city would include West Verba Santa
with all the public streets in our area as a city responsibility.
The thiriy-two owners at Mont�cito HOA are requesting the ciiy of Palm Desert to
assume ownership of this short street so any confusion about us� and right of access will
be cleared up. We appyreeciate any support you can give us with this situation.
Sincerely,
.. �����
rdon ess, Pres ent
on�ecito HOA
