Re: Palm Partners / OLT preserve and development project
I write to you as a taxpayer and property owner in Palm Springs. I am opposed to the apparent favorable treatment
by the City of Palm Springs of the preserve and associated development proposals.
There is a definitive non-arm’s length relationship between the two. This is just one of several legal issues related to
the application by OLT to proceed with their landscaping modification. There is a portion of the Mesquite Golf
Course property that is not subdivided from the proposed preserve. That property could be subdivided from the
proposed preserve property by OLT but they choose not to. Further, that property is the subject of a development
application that relies on the preserve property to attempt to satisfy your GCCO ordinance requirements with respect
to permissible development. That application is being advanced without objection from OLT and so, it follows, the
OLT property is not separate and distinct, from the development property. It cannot be considered part and parcel of
a development proposal for one purpose, and then separate and distinct for any other purpose at their sole discretion
and for their unilateral benefit.
This landscaping application by OLT cannot rightfully be considered in isolation. The right for OLT to advance its
project in any fashion, is one of several subjects of the well known lawsuit by MCC HOA.
I, and many others are being financially and otherwise prejudiced by this preferential treatment by the city.
It is your fiduciary duty to ensure any applicant, any citizen, or entity is in full compliance with your bylaws and
ordinances.
This application should be deferred until, at the very least, an arm’s length relationship is established between OLT
and Palm Partners. It is easily, and only within their capabilities and responsibilities.
Sincerely,
Cliff Cotton
Mesquite GCC
