Discussion:
Soon after completion of the Stone Eagle Golf Course, complaints were received by the
Public Works Department regarding what appeared to be excessive runoff from golf
course irrigation. Staff perFormed extensive investigations over a period of
approximately two years and conducted public information meetings with affected
residents in an effort to identify and resolve their concerns.
The investigation concluded with a Director's Hearing on January 17, 2008, at which
time input was received from affected residents, the developer, environmental
professionals, and City staff. Each issue was thoroughly discussed and documented
(see the staff report and minutes of the hearing, attached). While it is unlikely that there
is or will ever be unanimous satisfaction, staff is confident that all of the significant
concerns have been appropriately addressed.
At the August 28, 2008, City Council meeting, staff presented the results of the
Director's Hearing in a report from Assistant City Attorney Bob Hargreaves. In his
report, Mr. Hargreaves identified specific issues regarding impacts resulting from golf
course operations, provided acknowledgement of ineasures that had already been
implemented, and recommended ongoing measures to prevent impacts from recurring.
Several of the affected residents were present at the August 28, 2008, City Council
meeting, and voiced their ongoing concerns that golf course runoff water was causing
non-native vegetation to grow and mosquitoes to breed in Bruce Creek. The Council
directed staff to obtain copies of any reports from the Coachella Valley Mosquito and
Vector Control Board, and to further research the issue. The agenda item was
continued to the meeting of October 9, 2008. At the October 9, 2008, City Council
meeting the item was continued to a date uncertain.
Staff now submits, for Council's consideration, the following update concerning this
matter:
01-20-09 Stone Eagle representative Kris Schulze reported that the creek is
being maintained to the expectations of the Vector Control inspector.
01-30-09 City staff conducted an on-site inspection of Bruce Creek and Ramon
Creek, and found the condition of Bruce Creek to be improved; Ramon Creek the
runoff basin and pumping system are not functioning properly and are in need of
maintenance. Staff spoke with the Vector Control inspector who indicated he
would provide documentation of current mosquito conditions.
02-03-09 Hearing Director Robert Hargreaves outlined three milestones to be
achieved by Stone Eagle in order for staff to recommend acceptance of the
project: that City staff would conduct an inspection of the site and find it
satisfactory (note that this requirement was satisfied on January 30 prior to Mr.
Staff Report

April 9, 2009
Page 3 of 3
Hargreaves being made aware that the inspection had occurred); that Stone
Eagle would demonstrate its reasonable efforts to acquire adjoining property
owner participation in the maintenance agreements; and that a statement be
obtained from Vector Control indicating that there is no current, or likely future,
mosquito breeding activity in the creek.
03-03-09 City staff received a letter from Stone Eagle representative Ted Lennon
requesting the acceptance of this project, release of the security bonds, and
acceptance of the Maintenance Agreement. This letter's attachments provided
evidence that Stone Eagle has met all three requirements as outlined by Mr.
Hargreaves. Attached to Mr. Lennon's letter is a letter from Vector Control Board
Inspector Rod Chamberlain reporting that he was satisfied that no mosquitoes
were breeding in Bruce Creek as of October 6, 2008. Also attached to Mr.
Lennon's letter were copies of unexecuted access and indemnity agreements
sent to adjacent property owners.
Staff is now in agreement that the outstanding issues have been properly and
satisfactorily addressed. Therefore, the Public Works Department recommends that
City Council:
1.) Receive the updated information contained in this staff report; and
2.) Accept the recommendations of the August 28, 2008, continued staff report and:
a. Accept the Hearing Director's recommendations regarding Stone Eagle Golf
Course; ��

Re: Stone Eagle Maintenance Agreement—City Council Agenda
Dear Lauri:
Please schedule the Maintenance Agreement for consideration by City Council at the next available City
Council meeting. In accordance with Mr.Hargreaves email dated February 3, 2009,we believe the
following 3 items have been satisfactorily addressed:
1) Staff has conducted a satisfactory inspection of the site. City staff conducted an inspection
of the creeks on January 30. Mark Greenwood indicated that there were numerous cat tails
and a few small tamarisk seedlings. The cat tails are a native plant. Dr. Muth has indicated
on several occasions that,where practical,these plants should be left to thrive in a native
condition. We are concentrating removing the cat tails where they may impede the flow of
water and create a potential mosquito breeding area. The tamarisk seedlings are removed on
a weekly basis.We currently have a two person crew scheduled for maintenance and
inspection every Monday. We have made great strides in removing the years of growth
(much of which was present prior to the development of Stone Eagle). I have not received a
formal report from Public Works regarding their inspection. We are available to
review/discuss the results of their inspection at your convenience.
2) There is a written statement by Stone Eagle that all reasonable efforts have been made to
acquire adjoining property owner participation in maintenance agreements. This letter is
to serve as Stone Eagle's written statement that all reasonable efforts have been made to
acquire adjoining property owner participation in regards to the on going inspection and
maintenance of the creeks. The following steps have been taken to solicit participation.
a) A Site Access and Indemnity Agreement was prepazed. Input from Toni and Bill
Carver was solicited in preparing this agreement.
b) The Site Accessllndemnity Agreements were mailed via certified mail on December
19, 2008,to each of the impacted property owners. A copy of the agreement and
property exhibits were included. We requested that the agreement be returned by
January 9,2009. A copy of this mailing is provided for your file.
c) An effort was made to contact those property owners who did not respond by January
9,2009. We used the County Assessor Tax Role information for mailing address.
The following summarizes the results of this mailing:
Toni and Bill Caver Agreement has been signed and returned for execution.
Craig and Ginette Reisfield Agreement was returned as Not Deliverable.
Dr. Meints Agreement has been signed and retumed for execution.
Tim Bartlett The agreement was received. Kris Schulze contacted Mr.
Bartlett on January 21, 2009. Mr.Bartlett responded that
?4-001 Keserve Drive,Indian We��s,CA�ZZ.10
760.568.9800 Fax 760.7?9.1469
we already had a less formal right of entry agreement and
he assumed it was still valid. See attached copy.
Stone Haven/Majac
Dr. Scheer The agreement was received but not returned. We have a less
formal right of entry agreement on file.
Abaii The agreement was returned as Not Deliverable. Kris Schulze
hand carried a copy of the agreement to John Anderholt,Mr.
Abii's attorney. Mr.Anderholt indicated he would forward the
agreement to Mr. Abaii and would call if there were questions.
Gerhard Befeld The agreement was received. Mr.Befeld has not responded to the
request.
Irwin Warsaw The agreement has been signed and returned for execution.
To date, Stone Eagle has right of entry agreements from all owners except for Reisfield, Abaii and Befeld.
3) A recent statement by the Mosquito District that there are not currently,or likely future,
mosquito issues. Rod Chamberlain submitted a letter(see attached letter)to Mark
Greenwood.This letter indicated that he"was extremely please with the condition of the
creek and the problematic vegetation that has been accomplished"since his previous meeting.
He indicated that he found no mosquito breeding during his inspection. He indicated that for
long term control to be effective,the habitat maintenance program must be ongoing. The
ongoing maintenance program is outlinec3 in the Maintenance Agreement under
consideration. Stone Eagle is committed to maintain the creeks in accordance with the
agreement and has posted a$50,000 maintenance bond a security. Mr. Chamberlain can not
confirm that there will not be future mosquito issues since he is not responsible for the
maintenance. Mr.Chamberlain has inspected the creeks within the last month and has
indicated he is still very pleased with the maintenance effort. I believe Mark has had
subsequent conversations with Mr.Chamberlain regarding this recent inspection.
Please let me know if we can provide any additional information and let me know when this item can be
scheduled for City Council consideration. You can reach me at 674-2200 or Kris at 404-9971. Your
input and assistance is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
d Le on,President

TERRY HENDERSON Dear Mr. Greenwood;
La Quinta
Secretary/rreasurer I am writing to you at the request of Mr. Kris Schulze from LDD Desert
SHARON LOCK Development, Inc. Mr. Schulze requested that I provide you with a brief
Palm Springs
report of my findings on a recent inspection of the Bruce Creek area with
GARY HOWELL regards to mosquito breeding conditions.
Cathedral City
RICHARD MACKNICKI On October 6t", 2008, I walked the length of Bruce Creek to ascertain the
Coachella progress that Stone Eagle maintenance staff has made on vegetation
ALBERT KECK management and water channeling. I was extremely pleased with the
county at�ar�e condition of the creek and the removal of problematic vegetation that has been
accomplished since my previous meeting with Stone Eagle maintenance staff
NICK NIGOSIAN on September 2°d. I found no mosquito breeding during my inspection and in
County at Large
a subsequent conversation with Mr. Schulze, he mentioned that a mosquito
KARL BAKER,�R. larval control product was being used by the maintenance staff during their
Desert Hot Springs routine maintenance program. Mr. Shultz also informed me that Stone Eagle
GENE GILBER7 intended to assign a full time maintenance employee to maintain the creek in
�ndio an acceptable manner to minimize mosquito breeding.
DOUGLAS WALKER
Pa�m�esert I want to emphasize that my inspection represents a snap shot in time of the
DANA HOBART habitat and conditions and for long term control to be effective, the habitat
Rancho Mirage maintenance program must be ongoing. Without proper maintenance the creek
will quickly revegetate and could become prime mosquito breeding habitat.

Recommendation:
That City Council, by Minute Motion:
1.) Accept the recommendations resulting from the Stone Eagle Golf Course
Impacts Director's Hearing;
2.) Accept the golf course project as complete;
3.) Release the associated securities; and
4.) Authorize the Mayor to execute the maintenance agreement.
Discussion:
Soon after completion of the Stone Eagle Golf Course, complaints were received by the Public
Works Department regarding what appeared to be excessive runoff from golf course irrigation.
Staff performed extensive investigations over a period of approximately two years, and
conducted public information meetings with affected residents in an effort to thoroughly identify
and resolve their concerns.
_..._____...__.....�.r„._�„
�-= ---- - ---- -
The investigation concluded with a Director's Hearing on January 17, 2008, at which time input
was received from affected residents, the developer, environmental professionals, and City
staff. Each issue was thoroughly discussed and documented {see the staff report and minutes
of the hearing, attached). While it is unlikely that there is or will ever be unanimous satisfaction,
staff is confident that all of the significant concerns have been appropriately addressed.
Accept Stone Eagle Golf Course and Release Securities
Page 2 of 2
August 28, 2008
The results of the Director's Hearing are found in a report from Assistant City Attorney Bob
Hargreaves, also attached. Mr. Hargreaves identifies specific issues regarding impacts
resulting from golf course operations, provides acknowledgement of ineasures that have
already been implemented, and recommends ongoing measures to prevent impacts from
recurring.
As part of the ongoing mitigation measures, Stone Eagle will be required to continue to perform
weekly inspections of Bruce and Ramon creeks, and to provide acceptable documentation of
these inspections to the City on a quarterly basis. City staff has the right to inspect the creeks
quarterly and to recover the cost of these inspections from Stone Eagle. Stone Eagle will also
conduct annual water quality testing, and is required to post a $50,000 performance bond to
secure their performance.
The golf course has been inspected by City staff and found to be in conformance with the
project approvals, with the exception of several drainage pipes that concentrate drainage flows
onto neighboring properties. Stone Eagle has agreed to modify these pipes to restore drainage
flows to a more natural condition. Final approval of the golf course improvements is contingent
upon successful completion of this relatively minor work.
Staff has been contacted by a neighboring property owner regarding an access rights dispute
with Stone Eagle. We have reviewed the records relating to this issue and has discussed the
matter at length with the property owner and with Stone Eagle. It is the opinion of staff and the
City Attorney that this is a private matter between the property owners and that the City has no
regulatory nor enforcement responsibilities.
Therefore, the Public Works Department recommends that Council accept and approve the
recommendations from the Director's Hearing, accept the golf course construction project as
complete, approve the release of the associated securities, and authorize the Mayor to execute
the maintenance agreement.

SUBJECT: Stone Eagle Golf Course Impacts
DATE: January 17, 2008
CONTENTS: Water quality laboratory anaiysis reports
Water quafity bioassay
Report fram aquatic ecotoxicologist
Report from veterinary toxicologist
Minutes af 05-17-Q7 Director's Hearing
Staff report dated 05-10-07 with attachments
The City of Palm Desert has received a number of complaints regarding impacts from
the Stone Eagle Go1f Course project. Through detailed investigation and application of
mitigation measures, many of these complaints have been resolved. Hawever, three
serious issues have required further investigation and are the subject of this report.
1. Runoff into Bruce Creek
Bruce Creek is a blue-line stream within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. Residents and the project EIR have indicated that Bruce Creek was
histarically dry except during periods of heavy rainfall. Since completion of the golf
course, water has been visibly and continuousfy fl�wing in Bruce Creek. Staff has
performed a number of field reviews and has found that water does indeed enter Bruce
Creek from the golf course; however, water associated with the existing residential
development was also observed flowing from tributaries to Bruce Creek. This water in
the tributaries is [ikely the result of landscape irrigation systems as well as upstream
constructian activi#y. Residents have installed various improvements and made
modifications to the creek including construction of swimming paols, dams, channels,
and the fike. Due to long-term human activities Bruce Creek can in no way be
considered a pristine environment.
Golf course irrigation runoff enters the creek by seeping through the canyon walls as
well as by periodic surface flows. Residents have alleged that water in Bruce Creek has
resulted in the proliferatian of mosquitoes and non-native plant species. In response,
Stone Eagle has periodicalfy removed the intrusive vegetation on those properties to
which they have been granted access.
Staff Report for Stone Eagle Director's Hearing
01-17-OS
In addition to the investigation and mitigation measures identified in the May 10, 2007
staff report, a highly detailed water quality analysis requiring the expertise of nine
laboratories was performed. The results of this analysis were interpreted by aquatic
ecotoxicologist Dr. Daniel Schlenk of UC Riverside and by veterinary toxicologist Dr.
Robert Poppenga of UC Davis. The results of the water quality testing indicate that the
water is wefl within accepted parameters for a creek. The water quality data has also
been forwarded to all interested parties including affected residents, the developer, the
Califarnia Regional Water C�uality Control Board, the California Department of F'ish and
Game, and the Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District, for their review.
Having carefully evaluated runoff into Bruce Creek and having consulfied with various
experts, it is the apinion of staff that the project conforms to the enviranmental impact
report, the conditions of approval, and the applicable city codes. However, the volume
of water does present the potentiaf for unwanted vegetation grow#h and mosquito
breeding; therefore, staff recommends that the following additional mitigation measures
be imposed on the project:
1. Stone E�g(e shall perform weekly inspections and maintenance of. ._
retention pond and pump and provide quarteriy reports to the Director of
Community Development.
2. Stone Eagle shail perfarm monthly inspectians of Bruce Creek (subject t�
permission ta enter private properties); remove non-native plant species
and potential mosquito-breeding sites, and provide written reports to the
Director of Community Development. The Pu61ic Works Department will
perform quarterly inspections at the expense of Stone Eagle.
3. Stone Eagle shall perform annual water quality bioassays in Bruce Creek
by a City-approved labora#ory and provide a written report to the Director
of Community Development. Stone Eagfe shall be responsible to manage
and mitigate nitrates and toxins in Bruce Creek, to levels acceptable to the
various agencies with jurisdiction in this matter.
4. Stone Eagle sha{I post with the City of Palm Dese�t a $50,000 cash
deposit to be used in fhe event of non-performance by Stone Eagle_
5. Stone Eagle shall enter into a maintenance agreemenfi with the City for
Sto�e Eagle's management of non-native vegetation and pest contral,
2. Golf Course Road
Residents have indicated that the di�t raad along the perimeter fencing is unnecessary
and unsightly, and creates a PM-10 hazard. Stone Eagle has indicated that portians of
the perimeter road are necessary for equipment and vehicle access and could be used
by emergency response personnel if needed. Residen#s have nated that the perimeter
fence is of chain-IinEc material rather than the wrought iron material identified in the EIR.
The chain-link fence is preferred by the Department of Fish and Game due to the
potential far bighorn sheep to be caught in the wrought iran. Therefore, the City
administratively approved the use of chain-link material.

Stone Eagle has renaturalized the perimeter road as requested by staff. The Director of
Community Development has recently performed inspections of the site and has
determined that the �oad renaturalization is acceptable.
3. Snack Bar Lighting
(t has been noted that the snack bar lights are left on when not needed at night. Staff
has observed that the snack bar lights are visible late inta the night.
Staff recommends that Stone Eagle be required to install timers on the snack bar
Eighting to extinguish them in a timely manner when not in use.
As the Stone Eagle Golf Caurse came into operation, nearby residents raised a number
of serious concerns regarding the project. Staff has thoroughly evaluated each of the
concerns and taken actions to ensure campliance with applicable codes and
regulations. Therefore, staff recommends that, upon conclusion of the above items, the
work be deemed complete and that the process to release the bands be commenced.

Stone Eagle Director's Hearing
01-17-08 3:00 PM
Administrative Conference Room
Assistant City Attorney Robert Hargreaves began the meeting at 3:00 by stating this was a continued
Director's Hearing with Stone Eagle for compliance with the conditions of development. Mr. Hargreaves
stated that we would make introductions and present the staff report,and then he would open the
meeting.
Persons in attendance introduced themselves:
Bob Hargreaves,Assistant City Attorney, City of Palm Desert
Lauri Aylaian, Director of Community Development, City of Palm Desert
Spencer Knight, Landscape Services Manager, City of Palm Desert
Tim Bartlett, Property Owner, Cahuilla Hilis

Phil Joy,Associate Transportation Planner, City of Palm Desert
(Note: Shortly after introductions were made and the meeting progressed to presentation of the staff
report, other participants arrived according to the sign-in sheets:Antoinette Carver, Peter Scheer, and Ted
Lennon. Present at the meeting but not on the sign-in sheet were Cahuilla Hil�s resident Jerry Meintz,
and John Criste of Terra Nova.)
Mr. Greenwood presented the staff report by stating the following: Concerns arose from Stone Eagle Golf
Course project. The biggest concern that remains to date is water runoff from Stone Eagle irrigation into
Bruce Creek, and the resulting issues. At the request of residents adjacent to the golf course, the City
has done an extensive investigation and procured expert analyses including, as relates to the water
quality issue, the use of 9 different laboratories to obtain highly detailed water analyses. The results of
these analyses were sent to aquatic ecotoxicologist Dr. Daniel Schlenk at UC Riverside, and to veterinary
toxicologist Dr. Robert Poppenga of UC Davis. The results indicate that the water quality is well within
acceptable parameters for creek water. Toxicology says the water is safe and healthy for aquatic and
mammal life. There remains a concern about potential ponding and, therefore, mosquito breeding as
water ebbs and flows. There is also a concern for the potentially rampant growth of non-native species of
plants. Staff developed five specific mitigation issues as were outlined in the staff report, and Mr.
Greenwood read the five mitigation issues aloud, although not verbatim.
Stone Eagle has requested that these conditions be reviewed every five years for adequacy, and staff
agrees with this request. It is possible that these measures might not produce the desired results; it is
also possible that these measures may not be needed in order to achieve the desired outcome,which
would result in a waste of money.
As to the issue of the golf course perimeter road, Stone Eagle has renaturalized it. Inspections were
performed within the past week and it has been found to be effective and adequate; no additional
mitigation measures are recommended for this issue
As to the issue of the lighting remaining on at the snack bar, at night, Mr. Greenwood commented that he
has personally observed this and that it would be easily remedied by the installation of timers.
Upon completion of the mitigation measures and successful execution of an agreement for future
performance, staff recommends that the project be finalized and the bonds be authorized for release.
Mr. Hargreaves asked if the developer's representatives wanted to comment. Mr. Schulze asked Mr.
Greenwood if there is a time when the snack bar lighting should go off. Mr. Greenwood responded that
should be"whenever activity ceases." Mr. Schulze said the developer is agreeable to the
recommendations as proposed, and that the developer's attorney is currently working with the City
Attorney to write an agreement. Mr. Hargreaves stated that there has been no drafting yet, that they are in
the talking phase, but that they have made contact.
Stone Eagle Director's Hearing
Meeting Minutes
01-17-08
Mr. Hargreaves stated that the concept is to take what comes out of this hearing and reduce it to an
agreement that will be recorded against the property,with guidelines going forward and the ability to
change things in the future if needed, and to make the instrument enforceable with an ongoing assurance
that issues will be addressed.
Mr. Hargreaves then opened the meeting.
Mr. Bartlett stated that Nancy Scott regrets she is unable to attend this meeting and asked to distribute a
document on her behalf to be read into the minutes. The document was titled"Response to Director's
Hearing Report Dated Jan. 17,2008." Mr. Hargreaves asked Mr. Bartlett to summarize it, stating that he
was not interested in reading it but that we will make copies available to anyone who is.
Mr. Bartlett stated that the following are his own comments and that he would like to ask for clarification
regarding which building is referred to as the snack bar, the one with the lights. He said that if it's the
building where they serve lunch, thaYs the"Bar and Grill," but if iYs on the turn between the 9th and 10tn
holes, thaYs the"Pavilion." Mr. Schulze stated that the one with the lights is the"Aerie." Mr. Bartlett said
he thinks there are lights on in all the facilities at night, and that although he can't see the light in the new
maintenance facility he can see the glow of it in the night sky.
Mr. Bartlett said this was not worthy of discussion, and he thought that the"performance standard"was
worthy of discussion. Stating that the report says"removal," he asked"What is the standard,what would
we observe?" Mr. Hargreaves said, "Avoid unreasonable impacts to biologicai resources and
downstream residents." Mr. Bartlett said that, so far, the"removal of unwanted vegetation" has consisted
of pulling up only some of it, and then just leaving it there to dry up and create a fire hazard. Mr. Bartlett
held up several gallon-sized zipper-type clear plastic bags and said he had brought samples of the
vegetation consisting of moss, algae, and weeds, to show and asked that the group compare it to the one
empty bag containing what was growing there before the Stone Eagle development. Mr. Bartlett said that
what Mr. Hargreaves had said was encouraging and it sounded good. He stated that the quality of the
water concerns him,that it is his understanding from the discussion at the last hearing that the water
testing would be done independently of the developer—not using his sampling and water testing people
so that it wouldn't be under his control—and that Mr. Bartlett wonders if that was the case because after
the first set of results the Stone Eagle group had flushed out the canyon with enough water to create
"white water° and that it"seems that reduced the effects of the water testing." Mr. Bartlett stated he had
read through the one hundred-or-so pages of the report and that it seems like a lot of the testing was
inconclusive,that a lot of variables were not met. Mr. Bartlett stated that he had gone to the EPAwebsite
where they have listed specific things to look for that they feel are appropriate to test for, and he began to
read from the list but stopped after three or four names because of the difficult words. Mr. Bartlett stated,
"I took this off the EPA website regarding water testing" and submitted a printed e-mail to Ms. Lee. Mr.
Bartlett stated that his dog becomes violently ill every time she goes down to the creek, that he found a
dead coyote under the bridge and that he had heard from neighbors that they also found a dead coyote in
the creek area. He said he also found a dying duck and dead frogs, He stated that the dead coyotes is
odd, that he has heard from people who've lived there 20 years who say the coyotes no longer use Bruce
Canyon as a thoroughfare as they used to. Mr. Bartlett stated that the coyotes try to find water at the
most convenient source, and that obviously a running stream would be such a convenient source, yet the
people say they have recently found coyotes in their yards drinking out of chlorinated and saltwater pools
which is apparently not normal, and that based on observations it seems the water in the creek may
contain something that's harmful. Mr. Bartlett said he had witnessed coyote scat that was,for a few
months, more like a tarry substance than normal coyote scat which is dry like a granola bar. He asked if,
in fact, the water is fine, why the developer wouldn't want to recapture it since water is so precious now,
and pointed out that if you add up the distance between the two creeks they total about a mile in length
(0.6 mile for Ramon and 0.4 for Bruce)and that they both percolate into the sand near their lakes, so that
it seems it would be simple to capture that water it and put it back into the lake? Mr. Bartlett stated that
he believes the water is percolating into the sand and entering the Palm Valley Storm Channel, but the
Director of Public Works says thaYs not the case, and if that's true then it's percolating into the drinking
water unless iYs going somewhere else, and that he hopes it's going into the Channel. The water

increases at night; so does the runoff and so does the Palm Valley Storm Channel. Someone alerted
Code Compliance that there's a lot more water. Mr. Bartlett stated that he has found areas in the
concrete-lined channel that could be mosquito habitat, and that the Ramon Creek pipe is percolating up
out of the ground. They're using contaminated water to begin with so if they don't want to capture it, Mr.
Bartlett can understand. Mr. Bartlett then stated that"the problem we have is the effects of the water"and
that even if iYs pure water, the effect it has on the environment has changed his enjoyment of the
property, but that perhaps the statement relative to unreasonable mitigation will take care of it. Mr. Bartlett
further stated that he has noticed significant erosion, that"we've probably lost 6 to 8 inches of soil or rock,
side and bottom of channel,"that he heard from Katie Burrows that channeling of the wash would be
unfeasible,which Mr. Bartlett found interesting because they actually did hire a guy and dug out a
channel that has helped to keep water moving,and that they, the property owners, have been generous in
offering to accept a gutter of contaminated water, contaminated water running on their property on a
regular basis. Mr. Bartiett said that the comment that Fish and Game would never allow it, he didn't know
about that, because they created a stream, so to say that lining the channel using native material would
be an environmental disaster seems to be in conflict and seems ridiculous. In the staff report there's talk
about the property owners of Cahuilla hills contributing to the water runoff. They say there is an
approximate 100-gallon effluent per person per day; at 2,700 residents (an overestimate),that is 270,000
gallons per day compared to the millions of water"they"contribute, and that the day that they used
hydraulic cement to put in the liner, they created a permanent seal between the rock and the liner, and the
following day water started coming around the 'Y.' [Note:At this point Mr. Bartlett had been speaking for
approximately 20 minutes.]
Mr. Hargreaves interrupted Mr. Bartlett and asked if he can wrap his comments up soon. Mr. Bartlett
asked to read a document he had with him, stating that most of it was submitted at the last director's
hearing but he believes it wasn't actually heard but rather submitted as an exhibit. Mr. Bartlett stated that
the City has not acted in good faith, but that since he has submitted the document before, he supposed
he was finished.
Mr. Hargreaves stated he wants a synopsis of substance rather than details. Mr. Hargreaves asked the
biologists (Dr. Muth and Mr. Fisher) present if they had reviewed the water quality reports, to which they
answered that they had "looked it over"and that the general summary stated from a toxicology standpoint
was that the water was perfectly safe to drink and that the presence of water fleas indicates a healthy
ecosystem. Dr. Muth stated that they could not speak to protocol and lab chosen, but that it was their
impression that the creek is a recovering habitat. Mr. Criste asked if Dr. Muth knew the people at UC
Davis and UC Riverside and Dr. Muth said that he does not know Dr. Poppenga nor Dr. Schlenk.
Mr. Greenwood highlighted the sampling and testing process, stating that to ensure impartiality the City
issued a Request for Proposals to the public and to a number of laboratories, requesting assistance in
performing water quality analysis. The City received a couple of proposals and selected Surabian Ag
Laboratory and Consultants, Inc. as the sampling lab and distributor of the samples, based on cost. The
City is not aware that they have had any involvement with Stone Eagle and it wasn't part of the selection
process to ascertain that. Surabian Labs sent the water out for testing. Because of the detailed nature of
the testing requested, it was circulated to seven other labs because of the expertise needed. The
summary lists what the critical levels are of the various constituents and what the found levels were, and
all were within the acceptable range for creek water; it is not to drinking water standards but it is not
dangerous. In addition, they tested for pesticides,fungicides, and herbicides with the exception of
"Monument." Because"MonumenY' is not known to be dangerous, no protocol exists for testing for its
presence. The test for"Revolver"was inconclusive because of potential interaction with Monument.
Some chemicals were present but because there is no protocol there's no evidence that the water is
dangerous. The results were sent to an aquatic ecotoxicologist from UCR who reviewed the results and
indicated that he wanted one more level of testing, so a bioassay was performed. Residents were notified
of the testing and invited to watch, and some did watch the samples being taken and the labels applied.
Mr. Bartlett interrupted to state that one resident was invited. Mr. Schulze stated that Ms. Scott,who was
present at the sampling, stated at that time that Mr. Bartlett was out of town, and that Mr. Davenport was
also present at the sampling. Mr. Greenwood continued by saying that the bioassay was completed and

the report was that the water was healthy. The veterinary toxicologist also returned a report that the water
was healthy.
Mr. Knight stated that the laboratories involved were very careful about their protocol, which is why this
process took such a long time.
Dr. Muth asked to comment on the bagged plants that Mr. Bartlett brought. Holding up a bag he stated
that one plant was a seedling tamarisk,that they sprout quickly, that he has observed a few of them down
at the"big drop-off' in Bruce Creek, and that they will have to be repeatedly removed because they can't
be gotten rid of. Dr. Muth identified another plant as papyrus and said they did not see this plant the last
time they came down through there, so he thinks it is a recent invader. He stated that the rest of the plant
material appears to be native. Dr. Muth said that willows, cottonwoods, sedges, and arrow weed are to
be expected and are desirable. He stated that if you look closely in one bag you see aquatic beetles,
which is a sign of normal material and indicative of a good healthy ecosystem. Dr. Muth stated that algae
is good thing to have.
Mr. Criste asked whether there were other insults to the creek that were not caused by the golf course
and if so,would they be remediated.
Mr. Hargreaves responded that there will be a maintenance agreement that sets as a general standard
that the golf course will be required to mitigate only the impacts from the water from the goif course, and
that staff has prepared the mitigation measures. There will be an ongoing review and the ability to
address the undetermined aspects of the agreement—for example, if it becomes a mosquito problem
according to the mosquito abatement district,then remedial action will be taken against that. Mr. Bartlett
asked if that were meant to be at any time, or after five years, and Mr. Hargreaves answered that at any
time a problem is recognized it will be remediated, they won't wait five years if there is a problem
identified. There will be a strategy, but if something comes up that wasn't identified then we have the
ability to reopen the process and address it. The elaborate testing appears to be adequate but if it
appears we have a water quality problem it will be addressed.
Mr. Shulze asked who will define"unreasonable impact." Mr. Hargreaves answered that it will be at the
discretion of the Director of Public Works to make that determination, and if people aren't happy with his
decision it can be litigated but the important thing is to take what comes out of this process and develop
an agreement that will be shared with everyone before iYs executed.
Ms. Carver asked if the agreement would remain in effect should the project be sold and Mr. Hargreaves
stated that the agreement will be recorded against the property and whomever owns it will be responsible
for it.The ultimate sanction will be to shut off the irrigation, which will be a strong incentive for
compliance. Ms. Carver commented that Stone Eagle has done an excellent job of stemming the flow of
water into Ramon Creek.
Mr. Hargreaves stated that he is inclined to find as staff recommends and that upon entering into the
(future)agreement the City will find the project in compliance and move forward. Mr. Hargreaves stated
that he appreciated everyone's participation and that the agreement will be circulated for comment before
the City enters into it, and that the meeting was now closed.
Mr. Bartlett asked if he may ask one question before the meeting was closed and Mr. Hargreaves said he
could. Mr. Bartlett said that the residents were told that a final wouldn't be given until the matter was
resolved. Mr. Greenwood stated that the finals have been withheld and will continue to be withheld until
these conditions are in place and enforceable. Mr. Bartlett ask who"everyone" is when Mr. Hargreaves
said that everyone will see the agreement prior to its finalization and Mr. Hargreaves replied that
"everyone"was everyone on the distribution list, including Mr. Bartlett.
Mr. Hargreaves closed the meeting at 3:56 PM.

Memorandum
To: Mark Greenwaod CLIENT-MATTER NU.: 72504.00677
Director of Public Works
CITY OF PALM DES �
FROM: Robert W. Hargreaves, ssi Attorney
RE: Stone Eagle: Recommendation After Director's Hearing
BACKGROUND
The Stone Eagle Golf Course Project has been under construction and review for
several years. Stone Eagle has reques#ed that the City accept the Project as complete, and that the
bonds be released.
A number of issues have been raised regarding compliance with the conditions of
approval, the mitigation plan in the EIR, and city codes and state statutes. Several neighbors have
expressed concern. In order to facilitate input into the decision making process, and to have an open
discussion of issues of public concern, you appointed me to serve as hearing officer, to take public
testimony and to make a recommendation.
Pursuant to that appointment, public hearings were held on May 17, 2007 and
January 17, 2008. Numerous reports and letters have been received, as well as substantial public
testimony. I have summarized below my findings, the evidence supporting those findings, and my
recommendations.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Project be received as complete, upon executian and recording of
a maintenance agreement that will ensure an ongoing program of adaptive management to address
potentially harmful effects of water discharges from the Project as well as other potential on-going
issues. Particular aspects of the recommended maintenance program are included below.
ISSUES ARD FINDINGS
1. Run-Off into Bruce Creek.
A. Findings
(1) The Project does cause subsurface drainage into Bruce Creek that currently
causes appreciable and continuous water flows in the Creek, that did not exist in a natural candition.
R M PUB\RHARGREAV ES1Z92742.5
BEST BEST & KRYEGER
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
• It is not seriously contested that flaws from the golf course project are
the principal current source of ongoing flows in the Creek. There is
evidence that other adjoining properties contribute to flows in Bruce
Creek, at least on an intermittent basis.
(2} The flows in Bruce Creek do not currently have a significant deleterious impact
on the public health, safety, or welfare, and are not injurious to the natural environment, nor to
adjacent properties.
• There is testimony from several biologists that the Creek is a healthy
eco-system that does not threaten natural habitat values.
• Extensive water quality testing was performed. Aquatic and mammalian
toxicoIogists opined that the water is not injuriaus to aquatic or terrestrial
life.
• State regulatory agencies, such as the Regional Water Quality Control
Board, and the State Department of Fish and Game,have inspected the
Creek and have not initiated any regulatory actions.
• Neighbor reports of toxicity of water to dogs and coyotes are not
canfirmed by either water quality testing or biolagists.
• Non-native vegetation can be controlled by an on-going maintenance
program.
{3) Neighbor Reports of Extensive Mosquito Infestations are Not Confirmed by
Responsible Agencies.
• Representatives of the Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control
District have inspected the Creek at various times and have concluded
that although the potential for mosquito breeding exists, the cuzrent
management efforts have been effective in controlling the problem. The
District will continue to monitor and address problems if they arise.
(4) Ongoing management of the creek environment will be necessary to ensure that
deleteriaus impacts do not arise.
• CVMVCD indicated that Bruce Creek posed a potential for mosguito
breeding habitat and needs to be carefully monitored and controlled.
• Biologist opined that ongoing control of non-native vegetation will be
necessary to reduce vegetation and maintain the free-flowing nature of
the Creek.

ATPORNEYS AT LAW
(5) Channelization of the creek is not a feasible alternative.
• Channelization would require permits from the Army Corps of
Engineers, and the Califomia Department of Fish and Game,which
would require extensive studies and would not likely be granted.
• Channelization would likeIy negatively impact naturai values of the
stream.
(6} Flows into Ramon Creek have been effectively eliminated, but will continue to
be monitored.
B. Recommendation
(1} Stone Eagle be required to enter into and record against the golf course property
a maintenance agreement committing the owner to implement mitigation measures reasonably required
by the City to ensure that the drainage flows from the golf course into Bruce and Ramon Creeks do not
cause injury to biological resources or adjoining property awners.
The initial mitigation plan shall require:
(a) Stone Eagle shall cause weekly inspections to be made of the retention
ponds and pumps in Bruce and Ramon Creeks, and shalt cause any required maintenance to be
performed so that such facilities can serve their intended purpose. Stone Eagle shall provide the City
with quarterly reports, addressed to the Director of Community Development, setting forth the dates of
such inspections, the observations made during the inspections and any actions taken;
(b) Stone Eagle shall: (i) cause monthly visual inspections of Bruce and
Ramon Creeks (subject to permission to enter private properties); and (ii) cause (x) the removal of
non-native plant species, and (y) the remediation of potential mosquito-breeding sites. Stone Eagle
shall provide written reports to the Director of Community Development of observations made and
actions taken. The Public Works Department will perform quarterly inspections at the expense of
Stone Eagle;
{c) Stone Eagle shall cause annual water quality bioassays to be taken in
Bruce Creek by a City-approved consultant and shall provide a written report to the Director af
Community Development. There is no intent to improve the quality of the water in the Creek (which
is not potable) in excess of the quality that would exist without artificial drainage from the golf course,
or in excess of the quaIity necessary to ensure that drainage from the golf course does not cause injury
to biological values or adjoining property owners. Stone Eagle shall he responsible to manage and
mitigate nitrates and toxins in Bruce Creek, to levels acceptable to the City. Stone Eagle shall not be
responsible for any mitigation of nitrates and toxins which are contributed by other property;
(d) Stone Eagle shall post with the City of Palm Desert a $50,000 bond to be
called in the event of non-performance by Stone Eagle;

(e) Stone Eagle shall enter into a maintenance agreement with the City for
Stone Eagle's management of non-native vegetation and mosquito vector control.
2. Golf course perimeter fencing and road.
A. Findings
(1) Stone Eagle has adequately addressed concerns regarding the re-naturalization
of the perimeter road to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Development;
(2) Permanent fencing was originally required to be wrought iron, but was modified
with the approval of the Director of Community Development, upon recommendation from the
Department of Fish& Game,that chain link fencing was preferable ta protect the bighorn sheep.
B. Recommendation
(1) Maintenance agreement shall require adequate maintenance of fencing.
3. Access to adjacent praperty.
A. Findings
(1) This is a private dispute between adjoining property owners that does nat
implicate Stone Eagle's compliance with the City's conditions for approval.
(2} Issues with respect to the trail are within the jurisdiction of the City, and have
been addressed.
4. MaintenanCe of debris basin.
A. Findings
(1) Installation of gasoline-powered ptzmping system to dewater the basin has
proven to be an effective alternative to the originally-required, but likely more
damaging, subsurface drainage system.
B. Recommendation
(1) Maintenance agreement will ensure ongoing maintanance of basin and pumping
system, and ensure that pumping complies with City sound ordinances.
5. Temporary egaipment pad.
A. Findings
(1) Neighbor complaints have been addressed by removal of equipment and
temporary storage area, and installation of a berm.

b. Golf course exceeded average acreage of turf.
A. Findings
(1) There is no evidence to substantiate this concern.
7. Water source for golf caurse irrigatian.
A. Findings
(1) There is no requirement in the conditions of approval that potable water be
blended with non-potable water sources to manage nitrate levels, and any such blending would be
wasteful of higher quality,potable water supplies.
8. Snack bar.
A. Findings
(1) Snack bar did receive architectural approval from the Community Development
Director.
(2) Snack bar lighting after hours has been a problem.
B. Recommendation: Stone Eagle shall install timer to regulate lighting, so that it shall be
extinguished or shielded within one hour after dark. Maintenance agreement will provide for ongoing
review of lighting issues.
9. Maintenance Building.
A. Findings
(1) The former Community Development Director reviewed and approved the
Maintenance Building at staff level and no further review was warranted.
(2} Landscape planting and re-naturalization adequately addressed concerns
regarding screening.
B. Recommendation
(1) Maintenance agreement will require mitigation of nuisance (after hour) lights
and noise at this faciliry.
10. Camfort station septic systems.
A. Findings
(1) Comfort station septic systems have been appropriately approved.
(2) Additional screening has been added to address visual impacts.

11, Residential pads.
A. Findings
(1) The grading of residential pads did conform to approval of Director of
Community Development and requirements of Army Corps of Engineer permit. The final grading plan
disturbed significantly less natural hillside than was originally approved.
12. Archeological sites.
A. Findings
(1) There is no evidence that archeological sites were destroyed during grading.
CONCLUSION
Stone Eagle shall be required to enter into and record a maintenance agreement that will
provide:
(a) Stone Eagle shall have a continuing duty to mitigate impacts to Bruce
and Ramon Creeks caused by golf course run-off and drainage in a manner that avoids unreasonable
impacts to biologicaI resources or adjoining properties. The mitigation plan shall initially include the
steps outlined below, but may be amended by the City, in consultation with owner and other interested
parties, as necessary from time-to-time, to address the evolving situations in the Creeks.
(b) The initial mitigation operation plan shall include:
(1) Stane Eagle shall cause weekly inspections to be made of the
retention ponds and pumps in Bruce and Ramon Creeks, and shall cause any required maintenance to
be performed so that such facilities can serve their intended purpose. Stone Eagle shall provide the

41286388.6 �
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
This MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is dated as of
, 2008 ("Effective Date"), by and between the City of Palm Desert, a
California municipal corporation ("City") and Stone Eagle Development, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("Owner"). The City and Owner enter into this Agreement with
reference to the following facts (each, a"RecitaP'):
RECITALS
A. Owner owns certain real property commonly known as the Stone Eagle Golf Course (the
"Property") located in the County of Riverside, State of California, which Property is more
particularly described on Exhibit A-1, and depicted in Exhibit A-2 attached hereto.
B. The City has expressed concerns about the potential impacts on Bruce Creek and Ramon
Creek of subsurface drainage from the golf course developed on the Property.
C. In response to such concerns, and to mitigate any potential impact which arises from the
Property, Owner has agreed with City that so long as a golf course is operated on the
Property, Owner or its successors and assigns as owner of the Property will comply with the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, City and Owner (each herein sometimes called a "Party" and jointly the
"Parties") hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Term
The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier
terminated by the City in its sole and absolute discretion, continue in full force and effect until
such time as there is no longer an operating golf course on the Property ("Term").
2. Owner Obli�ations
The following are herein called the "Owner Obligations:"
2.1 General Dutv. Owner shall have a continuing duty to mitigate impacts to Bruce
and Ramon Creeks caused by golf course run-off and drainage in a manner that avoids
unreasonable impacts to biological resources or adjoining properties. The mitigation plan shall
initially include the steps outlined below, but may be amended by the City, in consultation with
Owner and other interested persons, as necessary from time-to-time, to address the evolving
situations in the creeks.
41286388.6 2
2.2 Initial Mitigation Measures.
2.2.1 Owner shall cause weekly inspections to be made of the retention
pond and pump located in Bruce Creek and Ramon Creek in the area of the Property
delineated on Exhibit B hereto, and shall cause any required maintenance to be
performed so that such facilities can serve their intended purpose.
2.2.2 Owner shall (i) cause monthly visual inspections of Bruce Creek
and Ramon Creek to be performed in the locations shown on Exhibit C hereto (the
"Inspection Area") (subject to Owner's obtaining permission from the necessary
landowners to enter private properties as needed in order to obtain such access), and (ii)
cause (x) the removal of non-native plant species, and (y) the remediation of potential
mosquito-breeding sites, in the Inspection Area.
2.2.3 Owner shall retain a City-approved consultant to perform annual
water quality bioassays of the type set forth on Exhibit D hereto in Bruce Creek at the
Inspection Area and to provide an annual report thereof to Owner and to the Director of
Community Development of the City. Owner shall perform such bioassays no later than
August 1 of each year. If the test for Aquatic Toxicity — 96 Hour Acute Ceriodaphnia
Survival has a 90% survival rate, then no further testing is required that year. If such
survival rate is less than 90%, then additional testing shall be performed to determine the
levels of the constituents shown and to determine the cause of the toxicity. City
acknowledges that the water in Bruce Creek is not potable and that there is no intention
of improving the quality of the water in Bruce Creek to a quality higher than the quality
necessary to ensure that drainage from the Project does not degrade biological values or
biologically degrade property located adjacent to the Creeks. To the extent required, and
to the extent feasible by changing the drainage on the Property and taking no other act,
Owner shall mitigate nitrate and toxin levels in Bruce Creek to levels which do not
exceed the levels for such substances set forth on Exhibit D hereto. City recognizes (i)
that property other than the Property contributes drainage to Bruce Creek, (ii) that Owner
shall have no obligation to perform any work on property other than the Property, and
(iii) that because of the drainage from property other than the Property it may not be
possible for Owner to mitigate the levels of nitrate and toxins in Bruce Creek.
2.2.4 Owner shall provide to the City annually no later than July 1 of each
year, a list of pesticides applied to the Property (including, without limitation,
insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and miticides). The City shall have the right, within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such list, to reasonably require additional tests to be
performed to assess the presence of additional compounds, based on such annual list of
applied pesticides.
2.3 Quarterly Reports. Owner shall provide the City with quarterly reports setting
forth the dates of inspections of Bruce Creek and Ramon Creek, the observations made during
such inspections, and the action(if any)taken as a result of such inspections.
2.4 Amendment of Maintenance Duties. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the
Owner Obligations may, from time to time, need to be revised to fulfill Owner's General Duty as
required by the changing environmental condition of Bruce Creek and Ramon Creek and the
surrounding properties, or if the testing program set forth herein does not warrant the time or
expense involved. Therefore, the Owner Obligations shall be reviewed every five (5) years
during the Term and, after such review, may be amended by a written agreement signed by the
City and Owner to increase or decrease the obligations set forth herein. If City and Owner fail to
41286388.6 3
agree, City may impose new or modified mitigation measures reasonably necessary to fulfill
Owner's General Duty, subject to the Conflict and Dispute Resolution provisions of Section 3. .
2.5 City Ins�ection. The City may perform quarterly inspections of the Inspection
Area. Owner shall reimburse City for the reasonable, documented cost of such inspections, not
to exceed the sum of$2,500 per quarter (the "Inspection Cost"). The Inspection Cost shall be
increased beginning on January 1, 2013, and every five years thereafter (each, an "Adjustment
Date"), by multiplying the Inspection Cost in effect immediately prior to the Adjustment Date in
question by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the CPI (as defined below) in effect on
October 31st of the year immediately proceeding the Adjustment Date in question, and the
denominator of which shall be the CPI in effect on the date that is five (5) years priar to the
Adjustment Date in question. The term "CPI" shall be defined as the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers for Riverside County published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor. If the CPI is replaced, the Parties shall use such other cost-
of-living index as, in the Parties' reasonable judgment, most closely approximates the CPI.
2.6 Performance Bond. Owner shall post a fifty thousand dollar ($50,000.00)
performance bond (the `Bond") with City to secure the performance of the Owner Obligations.
Owner shall maintain the Bond in effect during the Term.
2.7 Maintenance Deficiency. If, in the City's reasonable opinion, Owner has failed to
perform any of the Owner Obligations , as from time to time modified pursuant to this
Agreement, and/or the current mitigation measures are inadequate to accomplish the General
Objective, (collectively "Maintenance Deficiency") the City shall notify Owner in writing of
such Maintenance Deficiency("Deficiency Notice"). Within ten (10) days of Owner's receipt of
the Deficiency Notice, Owner shall, in writing, (i) agree to remedy the Maintenance Deficiency
in a mutually agreed-upon time and manner, or (ii) dispute the City's Deficiency Notice. If the
Parties are unable to agree to the timing and/or manner of cure, then the Parties shall resolve the
Maintenance Deficiency issue in accordance with Section 3 hereof. If the City believes that the
Maintenance Deficiency represents an imminent threat to health and safety of persons or natural
resources and/or to preservation of property, the City shall have the right to unilaterally require a
cure within a resonable time under the circumstances, pursuant to its general power to abate
public nuisances, and without resort to the Conflict and Dispute Resolution process described in
Section 3, subject to Owner's right to seek prompt judicial review.
2.8 Cure. If Owner fails to remedy the Maintenance Deficiency either (a) within the
time period previously agreed to in writing by the Parties or (b) by the date required in a written
decision by the City pursuant to Section 3 stating that the disputed Maintenance Deficiency must
be cured, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform the necessary
maintenance to cure the Maintenance Deficiency. In the event the City has performed the work
necessary to cure a Maintenance Deficiency, the City shall submit a written invoice ("Initial
Invoice") to Owner for all reasonable costs incurred by the City to perform such work, together
with a statement that Owner must pay such invoice in full within thirty (30) days of Owner's
receipt of the invoice. If Owner disputes the amounts due pursuant to the Initial Invoice ("Initial
Invoice Amount"), the Parties shall endeavor to resolve the dispute in good faith. If the Parties
are unable to agree on an Initial Invoice Amount, then the Parties shall resolve the dispute in
accordance with Section 3 hereo£ If Owner does not respond to the Initial Invoice, the City shall
submit to Owner a second written invoice ("Second Invoice") stating that the City will draw
down the Bond in an amount equal to the reasonable costs due if Owner does not respond within
ten (10) days of its receipt of the Second Invoice. If Owner does not respond to the Second
Invoice within the ten (10) day period, the City shall draw down the Bond in the amount equal to
its reasonable costs to cure the Maintenance Deficiency.
29 Lightin� ag tion. Owner shall regulate the lighting at the pavilion,
41286388.6 4
maintenance facility and other golf course buildings, so that lighting is minimized commencing
one (1) hour after any such facility has ceased being used for a given day (recognizing that such
facilities do not have a uniform closing time, so the cessation of lighting shall vary from time to
time and from facility to facility, based upon the usage on any given day of the facility in
question).
2.10 Fencin�Miti�ation. Owner shall maintain perimeter fencing around the Property.
2.11 Noise Miti a�. Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to control the
volume of noise emanating from the Property maintenance facility after the Stone Eagle Golf
Course and all areas thereof are closed for the night and prior to the time when they reopen in the
morning. Owner shall adopt and enforce policies designed to maintain compliance with the
City's noise ordinance.
3. Conflicts and Dispute Resolution
In the event there is a dispute in connection with the interpretation of or performance
under this Agreement, including without limitation a dispute regarding a Maintenance
Deficiency, and the complaining party has provided written notice to the non-complaining party
detailing with particularity the claimed dispute (the "Dispute Notice"), then the City and Owner
will promptly endeavor in good faith to resolve such dispute. If no resolution can be reached
within 30-days of delivery of the Dispute Notice to the non-performing party, or within such
other time frame as the parties may mutually agree, then the City shall have the right to
unilaterally impose a reasonable cure, subject to Owners right to challenge any such imposition
by prompt judicial review.
4. Hold Harmless Agreement
Owner hereby agrees to and shall indemnify and hold the City, its elective and appointive
boards, commissions, officers, agents and employees harmless from any liability for damage or
claims for damages for personal injury, including death, as well as from claims for property
damage or inverse condemnation, which may arise from Owner's or Owner's contractors'
subcontractors' agents' or employees operations under this Agreement, the City's approval of the
Stone Eagle Golf Course or the City's approval or rejection of any mitigation measures pursuant
to this Agreement, whether such operations be by Owner, or by any persons directly or indirectly
employed by or acting as agent for Owner. This provision shall survive and continue for a
period of one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement. The City shall have the right to
select its own counsel to defend it in any indemnified claim unless either (i) Owner is also sued
and its counsel can defend all parties or (ii) Owner's insurer requires engagement of counsel
other than that selected by the City.
In the event of any legal action instituted by a third party or any governmental entity or
official arising out of the approval, execution or implementation of this Agreement (exclusive of
any actions brought by Owner) including such actions brought pursuant to the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act, Owner agrees to and shall cooperate fully and join in the
defense by the City of such action and shall indemnify and hold the City, its elected and
appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents and employees harmless from any liability for
damages, costs or attorneys' fees which may arise from such action. This provision shall survive
and continue for a period of one (1) year after termination of this Agreement. The City shall

Apri19, 2009 City Council Meeting
Stone Eagle Maintenance Agreement Acceptance
I am once again seeing you for an existing problem that has plagued not
only my community but the City of Palm Desert itself for more than four
years now. While the date for a Council Meeting is new the concerns with
the maintenance agreement are the same. Nothing has changed with the
maintenance agreement since our meeting August 28, 2008. The wording is
exactly the same. None of the issues that were of concern to me have been
addressed. I have not one time been asks to participate or agree to any
changes, etc. I have enclosed my concerns that I gave to you Aug. 2gth
Without going over every detail as my time is limited I will summarize. I
have provided you with the exact verbiage you received Aug. 28�'.
1. Page 3. Item 2.2.1 Bruce Creek Pump has never worked there is no
electricity. Retention basin sits for weeks at a time with standing water.
2. Page 3 2.2.2 Mosquitoes proliferate every 10 days according to Rod
Chamberlain Coachella Valley Vector Control and breed in standing water
and vegetation. Vector Control began coming up to Bruce Creek Feb. 15,
2007 at my request and found mosquitoes in three areas in the ravine due to
standing water and vegetation. I have enclosed documentation of the service
records for both ravines from Vector Control dates from Feb. 15, 2007 to
Jan. 14, 2009 showing continued treatment for mosquitoes and biting black
flies which also carry disease. It is a lie to say that no mosquitoes have ever
been found. Quite the contrary. This insect infestation has been going on
since the summer of 2005. Vector Control came to my aid after my
continuous stalling from Stone Eagle and the City of Palm Desert to get this
mess cleaned up. They will not maintain these ravines on a regular basis.
The conditions of the ravine change daily with the weather, and growing
�
vegetation. Inspecting monthly especially in the hot months is not adequate.
The question I asked was, what is the plan here? What will be done about
continued maintenance of whole ravine not just the property. What has
Stone Eagle worked out with vector control as a means to ta.ke care of the
mosquito problem. What are these chemicals that Stone Eagle will be using?
It has been brought to my attention that it is rumored the turf is genetically
engineered to resistant Roundup which is being used which they spray on
the course to kill weeds and not the grass. Roundup is highly toxic to
humans and animals and it can build up in the ground and leach into the
water during irrigation. This leached irrigation water runs about a mile
down the ravine. What I find interesting is that Stone Eagle has no desire to
recycle their own water here. What will be done with the debris to prevent a
fire hazard? I have talked to Rod several times recently and he is adamant
about prevention with maintenance. The affected properties will have to be
maintained or Vector Control will do it and charge the property owners.
3. Page 3 Item 2.2.3 (ii) "owner shall have no obligation to perform any
work on property other than the property." The problem in Bruce Creek is a
direct result of Stone Eagle dumping one million plus gallons a day on the
course and the runoff from the wasted water empties into the ravine. It states
in the EIR dated 7/22/02" that Bruce and Ramon Creeks are ephemeral
streams, running only after significant rainfall." The county map shows
these areas with a dotted blue line meaning not continuous. Since the golf
course moved in we have water 365 days a year running down the ravine.
Ramon Creek has had a pump installed which pumps water back upon to
Stone Eagle. That is when it is working. Vector has found mosquitoes there
as well. My water bill attached shows that I use 18700 gallons a month. Do
the math 11 homes x 18700= 205700 gallons of water a month. Our
drainage has always remained underground if you still insist on that
argument until the golf course moved in.
I stand before you once again and ask Please vote no on acceptance of Stone
Eagle until a realistic maintenance agreement has been drafted with all
parties being able to participate. Why is the City of Palm Desert not willing
to enforce the original EIR report dated 7/22/02 where Phil Drell expressed
his own concerns about the irrigation runoff. (page 9 section VIII item d
attached)
From what I ascertain the three milestones that Mr. Hargreaves is asking for
3
are and I will address them individually.( I can only guess as I have not been
contacted for my input.} I had to miss the last Director's Meeting Jan. 17,
2008 as I had broken my foot and herniated two discs in my lower back. I
could not walk. I prepared my documentation anyway and sent it with Mr.
Bartlett so my voice could be heard. Mr. Hargreaves stated that he was not
interested in reading what I had to say and it was not allowed at the meeting.
I have worked four years on this problem and was surprised that he had this
attitude since the point of this meeting was to receive input from the
concerning parties. (attached are my comments)
Milestones:
1. City would inspect site and find it satisfactory. It should be satisfactory.
They have had eight months to clean it up. When we left the City Council
Meeting in Aug. 08 council had wanted this done in 90 days. Did not
happen. When I know company is coming I clean my house extra special
too. The only problem is without maintenance of the whole ravine the
growth will return bringing back all the problems that we are trying to
eliminate.
2. Stone Eagle would make a reasonable effort to acquire adjoining property
participation. Nothing has been executed according to all property owners
on the ravine that I have personally contacted. Stone Eagle should be
policed by the city and not the property owners that have been effected. The
maintenance agreement should be with the city with a release of liability
given to Stone Eagle staff to enter private property and maintain ravine.
This responsibility falls with the city and Stone Eagle as the city allowed
them to create this problem by not adhering to the EIR report. From what I
understand the city already has codes to enforce all of this but chooses to
require a maintenance agreement for this particular problem.
3. A statement was required of Vector Control indicating that there was no
current or likely future mosquito breeding activity. You should have a copy
of that letter, if not I have attached. Rod Chamberlain's statement
referencing Oct. 6, 2008 was a snap shot in the winter time (not hot enough
for mosquitoes). It does not reflect future incidents but does say "without
proper maintenance the creek will quickly re-vegetate and could become
PRIME mosquito breeding habitat." His letter was quite clear but the city is
willing to accept this snap shot statement as what will happen in the future.
`f
Conditions change daily in the ravine. Vector's interest in this ordeal is to
keep Palm Desert free of mosquitoes and to suggest anything different is a
lie. I have given you SR Reports previously stated. I am also providing you
with my own snapshots of the ravine at different stages of deterioration.
In closing I ask you again to make this maintenance agreement work to the
problems. I am asking you to do your civic duty and protect and preserve
our beautiful city and not let Stone Eagle get away from performing their
duty in cleaning up and keeping clean the mess they have made for our
community and my neighborhood. I urge you to vote no once again and
send them back to come up with a real plan. This has gone on for four years
and I wish I could bill you for my time in this effort. I wonder how another
developer would have been treated? Most of the original parties have retired
leaving the problem with new but in-experienced to all the facts to get the
job done. I am not going anywhere and will continue to fight. This is my
home , my neighborhood and my city. I will not sell out to be popular or
with the in crowd. The way this agreement is worded, does not make Stone
Eagle do anything for anyone else but themselves. Stone Eagle is not what
Palm Desert is all about. It is just another golf course. They should have the
same standards as everyone else. Please vote no. As always I am available
for future discussions. Thank you for time.

Subject: Maintenance Agreement between City of Palm Desert and Stone Eagle
Development, LLC
Request: I request that you vote no on this maintenance agreement until some changes
have been made to document that I will discuss with you now.
I and other concerned residents of the Cahuilla Hills started this up hill battle with Stone
Eagle in the summer of 2005. We have had several meetings since that time and have
waited patiently for the city to enforce the approved EIR dated received by the city
7/22/02 which states in section Existing Conditions page M-3 "Two main streams drain
the project site, Bruce Creek and Ramon Creek, both ephemeral streams, running only
occasionally after significant rainfall." There are several references to this fact throughout
this EIR. Phil Drell expressed his concern as well 3/27/02 when he requested an EIR to be
done.
The bottom line is this. These two creeks were dry before Stone Eagle put in the golf
Course. Now we have water rumiing 365days a year. During the hot months we have
biting Black Flies, mosquitoes, and other flying insects that this neighborhood never had
before the golf course went in. As you know mosquitoes have a range of 5 to 15 miles
depending on the species. Barbara Stanger who 1 ives in my neighborhood contracted
encephalitis last suimner a strain passed from a sheep to mosquito to humans. Toni
Carver gave me this info and has told me that Mrs. Stanger has permanent damage to her
nervous system such as the shakes. This situation effects us all. Not only encephalitis but
West Nile Virus already found i�Palm Desert.
Maintenance Agreement problems as fol�ows:
1. page 3 Item 2.2.1: The pump located in Bruce Creek has never had electricity therefore
has never worked. However this retention basis has been allowed to fill and sit for weeks
full of water breeding mosquitoes.
2. page 3 Item 2.2.2: Mosquitoes proliferate every 10 days according to Rod Chamberlain
from Vector Control who has sent teams out at my request while this process has been
taking place to treat for mosquitoes. They have come as a courtesy to me but ultimately
they will take the stance that the property owners have to clean up themselves. So
inspecting monthly is inefficient especially during the hot summer months. The water
stagnates in some areas. Also if they find mosquitoes what do they intend to do about it?I
have talked to Rod Chamberlain and Stone Eagle has not discussed any plans with them
as of this meeting. What is their plan? Item (x). Removal of non-native vegetation species
should mean total removal not stacking up on the sides of the creeks causing insect and
mosquito breeding sites as well as a fire hazard.
3.page 3�Item 2.2.3: (ii) " owner(which I assume is Stone Eagle ) shall have no
���� � � �� � G
/�r
G
obligation to perform any work on property other than the properiy."which according to
your recitals only includes Stone Eagle property . I am not privy to your e�ibits. But
Bruce Creek runs about a mile. I consider this a huge loop hole in this agreement and I
can promise you Stone Eagle will hold you to it and not take care of their responsibility
any further than their property line. My experience has been nothing gets done unless they
are forced as is evident from even having to have an ageement.
4. page 4 Item# 2.7: Deficiency Notice discussion( a mutually agreed time) what does
that mean? It has taken 8 months to get this agreement and four years to get it done.
5. page 5 Item Conflicts: complaining party I guess is us. What's that ? I do not want to
police these people anymore. This should clearly be the responsibility of the city to
enforce your agreement. By having this statement it is pretly much the same way it has
been for the past four years. We complain and the city takes months to try to resolve. No
deal.
6. page 5 Item 4 : third party legal action. To have included this tells me that you really do
believe that there is a problem and faresee future problems. You are covering all the
bases here for liability . I really can not blame you here because this situation won't be
getting any better. In my opinion of course.
In conclusion I ask you to vote no until everyone agrees on the final Maintenance
Agreement. I am requesting these clarifications be changed and or made to agreement. It
is your civic duty to protect and preserve our beautiful city. My invitation for a ravine
tour is still on the table for all interested parties. Boots and mosquito spray is required.

Response to Director's Hearing Report Dated Jan. 17,2008
1. paragraph 1. In response to statement of water flowing from tributaries into Bruce
Creek needs to be clarified.
While it is true that water does flow from the tributaries in relation to the Cahuilla Hills
the history of these flows correlates to weather conditions. After a hard rain,water will
indeed drain into Bruce creek as it is the natural course of runoff. In fact this has
happened again this year after the rain in Dec. The rain runoff started to flow and will
until the underground fissures have dried out. This is a natural occurrence that has been
happening for thousands of years. However the drainage does stop,the time line
depending on the temperature. For example: winter takes longer, summer is almost
immediate. To say that irrigation, construction activity, swimming pools, etc. contribute
is a stretch considering most of these items were brought to your attention by me.
Example: It was through my efforts as well as Dr. Meintz that the irrigation leak due to
construction activity was found and corrected. It was also through our efforts that the
cisterns placed in the ravine in the forties by previous land owner Burns to coilect natural
runoff were found to have been deliberately unplugged therefore letting this irrigation
leak run through instead of collecting the water causing a temporary water flow. Both of
these items have been rectified. As far as swimming pool contributions that is ridiculous.
There are tW�imming pools directly across from Bruce Creek. One of which is mine
that has neva�been drained. It has not been drained as I did not want to give anyone an
excuse to blame us again. The other two pools are fed by natural springs and these pools
act as a reservoir. There is not enough water in all four of these pools to cause the
constant water flow in Bruce Creek. Oh and by the way how does any of our water
contribute to Ramon Creek which also has irrigation issues?
I also disagree with your statement that due to long term activities Bruce Creek can in no
way be considered a pristine environment. That depends on one's interpretation of
pristine. The facts are:l. Bruce Creek has always been dry with the exception of a rain.(
This fact is also stated in the EIR done for Stone Eagle) Any runoff from Cahuilla Hills
had and still is underground with the exception of drainage due to rain here on in the
mountains above us and is seasonal. 2. There is water flowing in Bruce creek
continuously 24/7 365 days a year now that Stone Eagle has built the golf course. The
amount of water flow through Bruce Creek is now measured by the amount of irrigation
runof£ Example: water is increased during Summer months and at seeding. Water is also
increased when they pump out the ravines above the debris basin. Show pix. Stone Eagle
was observed by several residents and these pictures were taken of water being pumped
from the upper ravines directly into Bruce Creek at an amount large enough and swift
enough to wash out the city trail as well as flood the secondary retention basin.The water
raced down the creek and caused extreme erosion all the way down. This flooding
occurred on Sun. 8/12/07 and 8/19/07.These pictures were taken 8/19/07 by Mr.
Davenport and myself. Fact: It is against city code to pump water onto adjacent property
and I called Shawn in code enforcement on 8/20/07 and was told that he could do nothing
about the secondary retention pond or the fact they dumped all this water until Public
��� � � ��
�
Works gave hirn direction. I called Teri on 8/22/p7 and relayed��myQf�s '
(T uifo���
and later that week provided him with photos of the incident. I found out about t
ravines on the top of the course from Rod Chamberlain from vector control as I al
him reference mosquitoes. I was told that he and/or staff had contacted Nizer led

2. The statement residents have alleged proliferation of mosquitoes makes me t '
are still not concerned about the health issues relating to mosquitoes. There have b e ou
and will be again mosquitoes because of standing water in Bruce Creek. This is a f n
vector control can verify as they have come up several times after I requested assistance at
from them last year. They have been through the creek,my neighborhood and the
course on a regula.r basis. I have been told by Rod Chamberlain that vector will eventuall
stop treating the situation and focus on the clean u ,
owners having to deal with this issue at their expense t that venture it will be the property
3. Access has always been granted so this continuous attack on Mr. Bartiett is reall
unwarranted.*S�bne Eagle wanted an easement for access recorded against Mr. Bartlett's
property. This was an unreasonable request as Dr. Shear was given a release of liability
which was more than sufficient. Consequently no maintenance has been provided for Mr
Bartlett which really has defeated the whole •
issues and quite frankly is childish. It is my belie be au e�Mr.iBartl tt has been the mo
vocal he has been punished. How professional is that? st
2.Paragraph 3. The opinion of the staff project conforms with EIR. Go back to para a h
1 second sentence the project EIR have indicated that Bruce Creek was historically� p
except for periods of heavy rainfall. You can't have it both ways. It does not conform to
the EIR. Bruce creek has water flowing 24/7 365 days a year. Huge change for the
environment. Conforms to applicable city codes? What about dumping Water directly into
the creek this summer? What about nuisance water?
3. Mitigation Measures:
1.The ravines above the debris basin also collect runoffand should be included in
maintenance. Once a month is fine in the winter but the sununer�,arr�ts weekly checks
as mosquitoes breed every 10 days. As for the purrip at secondary retention pond. There is
no electricity. Never has been. The only time it works is when it is hooked up to a
generator. If a generator is used there must be provisions for noise. There must be strict
re-enforcement here as Stone Eagle does not do anything until forced or right before a
meeting they get busy.
2.How will non-performance be handled here. I do not want to police this any longer.
L�,,(�.� � � �

$50,000.00 is chump change here. What did the water testing cost?Also figure in the
costs for the city having to clean this creek. $50,000.00 is walking away money. Put some
teeth into it.
3• Any pest control to be verified with vector control.
Golf Course Road: I still have a problem with the re-naturalization. When we did the
water testing in July we were told that more work was to be done. Nothing has happened.
Look at what Dr. Shear did to the road Dr. Meintz had cut in. That looks natural. More
rocks are need as well as fill to level the grade.
Water test comments:
In regards to the water test. While I am grateful that these turned out as well as they did I
am also concerned that additional sampies were taken after the creek was flushed out
twice. My question would be: Would the length of time the water had sat and been
allowed for concentration overtime have an effect? I believe the answer will be yes. I still
believe that the small trickle of water at the Cahuilla Wye is a direct result of Stone Eagle
changing the natural flow of runoff at the rubber bib pushing the route into another fissure
resurfacing under the hill at the wye. While I concede that runoff from Cahuilla Hills
would probably be a factor after a rain, common sense tells me what I have seen and
photographed is the fact that when the flow of water lessens from the course this area at
the wye dries up completely.
I would also like to point out that the highest count for Coliform and e.Coli was at site#6
the first waterfall. The first waterfall is the closest test site to the course.
There were also some contradictions in reference to some chemicals being present in the
first test then negative later. I feel that the flooding of the creek affected the second
samples. Like I stated before. I am glad nothing harmful was found but I am not
completely comfortable with the accuracy of a true sample being obtained.
While I am grateful that the city did have the water testing done I feel that a dye test right
from the beginning would have sealed the idea of where the water is coming from. I feel
that over three years my life have been interrupted by this unnecessary ordeal had the EIR
been enforced. Because of the mosquitoes being a health issue is why I have been willing
to make this sacrifice. My requests have been simple, re-naturalize the un-authorized
perimeter road and be responsible to the community for the mess that was made in both
Bruce Creek and Ramon Creeks. Frankly I am very surprised that we have had to do all of
this with Ted Lennon's reputation as being a Friend of the Mountains. I figured being the
environmentalist that he is proposed to be that this would have been done immediately. I
am hoping that this ends today with a workable outcome. If not I am prepared to go to the
next level.

Dear Mr. Greenwood;
I am writing to you at the request of Mr. Kris Schulze from LDD Desert Development,
Inc.. Mr. Schulze requested that I provide you with a brief report of my findings on a
recent inspection of the Bruce Creek area with regards to mosquito breeding conditions.
On October 6�', 2008, I walked the length of Bruce Creek to ascertain the progress that
Stone Eagle maintenance staff has made on vegetation management and water
channeling. I was extremely pleased with the condition of the creek and the removal of
problematic vegetation that has been accomplished since my previous meeting with Stone
Eagle maintenance staff on September 2°d. I found no mosquito breeding during my
inspection and in a subsequent conversation with Mr. Schulze, he mentioned that a
mosquito larval control product was being used by the maintenance staff during their
routine maintenance program. Mr. Shultz also informed me that Stone Eagle intended to
assign a full time maintenance employee to maintain the creek in an acceptable manner to
minimize mosquito breeding.
I want to emphasize that my inspection represents a snap shot in time of the habitat and
conditions and for long term control to be effective, the habitat maintenance program
must be ongoing. Without proper maintenance the creek will quickly revegetate and
could become prime mosquito breeding habitat.
If you have any questions or would like more information on this matter please feel free
to call me at the District at: (760) 342-8287.

Rod Chamberlain

In the Coachella Valley, most rainfall occurs between November and March but
intensity thunderstorms may occur during late summer and early fall. Although the desert floor can e
dry at the begin.ning of a rainstorm, the ground can quickly become saturated when exposed to sufficie
amounts and intensities of rainfall, substantially decreasing percolation and increasin �o ff nt
runoff produced upstream can potentially result in significant damage downstream. Urban deve opment
which creates large, impervious surfaces, aiso increases the amount of runoff produced in the valley.

1. Easement Denaal.
Prior to the eonstruction o�t�e b�dge ovez�.e wash by Stone Eagle, Dr. Sc�eer and
others had access to their�zop�ty vxa the Tk�urush Road Bridge. Th�re is a recorded easez�.ent in
�avox of Dr. Scheer's�reclecessor o�er�e Sto�e EagJ.e pxo�erty which provided �aw£� access to
the wash. This i$the path t�at was used�o�zxzaa�y years.
,A,t tk�e ta�e the City gran�ted appro�rals to Stane Eag�e,.it conditianed such approva� w�th
t�e ob�igat�on o�'Ston.e Eagle to replace the eas�n,ent. Stox�e Eavl.e canstructed structures ox�t�ze
e�,istazag easement, and mare im�ortantly, whe�xt bui�t the bridge, it so im.�acted the ax-ea t1�at
access was z�o �oz�ber viable to Truush Road, ar�d the x�ediate areas modified sucl�that the flow
a�watez aloz�g the CVWI?wash has been un�acted.
,A,ttac�cd is a co��of Tract Map#30438�2, s�gned by Ted Lemzon a�o�ag a xxzagx��fied
copy o��tkze ze�evan�t porl-ion af that map. It�dez�ti�xes tbe existing easement wk�i,ek�was granted in

intent was to be sure tha�the o�c7v,ners suc�a,s MAJAC and others n.ot becoxx�.e aandlocked.
However, that is precisely�the sx�atzoz�now. Stone Eagle is not wza��z�.g to pz�ovide a replacement
