Discussion:
Stonebridge Development, Tract No. 29468 located at the northeast corner of Tamarisk
Row Drive was conditioned to construct a well site wall located in Freedom Park. In
addition to the construction of the wall, Stonebridge was required to provide a drainage
pipe to the drainage basins in Freedom Park, and run an electrical conduit to the well
site for future use. In July 2006, Stonebridge Development approached the City and
asked that the City build the well site wall in conjunction with Freedom Park.
Stonebridge Development offered to pay the City $65,925.51 in construction costs for
the well site. The Department of Public Works accepted the proposal.
During construction of Freedom Park, it was discovered that Stonebridge Development
did not meet all the requirements of the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), and
through negotiations between the City and CVWD, there has been an agreement in the
final design of the well site at Freedom Park.
