Greetings, I'm writing in support of historic district designation of Villa Roma Garden Homes. As a nine-year Villa
Roma resident, I can personally attest to the positive affect the complex's architectural design has on our
community. Central community assets facilitate recreation and human connection without sacrificing privacy. Each
"row" of units maintains unifying architectural themes yet landscaping and hardscaping provide visual interest and
diversity. Please contact me for a tour if you haven't experienced VIlla Roma yet personally. I would be delighted to
show you what I refer to. Villa Roma deserves to stand as a role model for future condominium construction not
only in Palm Springs but far beyond. Please vote for historic district designation of Villa Roma Garden Homes. Thank
you.
Thank you,
City of Palm Springs

PLEASE see the attachments to this e-mail!!!
Last evening I looked out my front window and that is what I saw Directly across the
street!!
I want to know WHY this city that you all say is a 'Tourist Destination' this kind of
activity
is allowed? For one thing they DO NOT meet ANY of the health requirements that in
house
restaurants do, They are OPENAIR and you as a City require those at Cityfest to be
enclosed.
Food Trucks are not allowed in the city who MUST meet Health requirements, and
yet you
DO NOTHING about these fly by night venders. I DO NOT fault anyone wanting to
make a
living but if the rest of the City has to comply with rules, laws and ordinances, WHY
is this
allowed???
These stands, or whatever you want to call them are among many other things
unsightly,
unhealthy, safety concerns, fire hazards, etc. I observed last evening an OPEN Flame
rising
at least 2 feet into the evening. If that alone isn't a fire hazard I don't know what
is! Also
I observed that they were powering their lighting from SUV's parked on the other side
of the wall,
again another hazard.
This 'stand' is NOT the only one that I have observed throughout the city over the last
few weeks
either at night or during the day. If those of us that are TAX paying residents have to
live by
the laws, rules and ordinances of the City then WHY hasn't this been taken care of???

Dear City Council and staff, Sustainability Commissioners, Planning
Commissioners, and Architectural Review Commissioners,
CC; Desert Water Agency conservationists,
RE: Please ban all new turf lawn installations in Palm Springs.
Despite the recent rains, this historic drought is far from over, and water
conservation is especially critical. One might think people are aware and
sensitive to this fact, but apparently several aren’t. We are witnessing multiple
new home builds and home renovations in Palm Springs where they are
currently (past few weeks and months) installing new sod turf where previously
there was either no landscaping, or no/low water use landscaping. This shocks
the conscience. Please promote a total ban, or at least an urgent moratorium
order, on all new turf installations and sale in Palm Springs. Everyone needs to
learn and embrace the infinite possibilities of desert landscapes without turf,
for which there are numerous fine examples in Palm Springs.
Thank you,
Bob Heinbaugh & Paul Hinrichsen – Upper West Side NOrg – leadership
