Council Member Hickman asked if any of the $48,541 which was lower than originally
budgeted could be used for additional paving. Director of Public Works Seumalo stated
that he would look into the matter.
Council Member Magee noted that the City has already secured $103,000 for this
project, and staff has already applied for another grant and if the $48,541 funds were
used, then the City would only be looking additional funds for the last quarter.
PUBLIC HEARING(S)
(6) Consideration of Ordinance No. 2010-1280 of the City Council of the City of Lake
Elsinore. California Amending and Restating Chapter 15.64 of the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code Regarding Flood Damage Prevention
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council (1) open the Public
Hearing and give due consideration to any objections presented by the public on
this date; and (2) upon due consideration of public comment, waive further
reading and introduce Ordinance No. 2010-1280 by title only amending and
restating Chapter 15.64 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code regarding Flood
Damage Prevention.
Council Member Magee asked if this applies to existing structures. Director of Public
Works Seumalo responded that it only applied to future structures and the insurance
rates would not be increased.
City Attorney Leibold pointed out that existing structures are grandfathered in. She
stated an application for a modification or expansion would be necessary.

Rita Thompson, Engineering explained that under the new ordinance remodels or
modifications to existing structures are subject to substantial improvement; if the cost of
the improvement exceeds 50%a of the fair market value, then the improvements would
need to meet the current ordinance. Should the improvements be lower than 50% of
fair market value, then there would be no impact.
Council Member Magee asked about the southerly area shown on the One Hundred
year Flood Plain Boundary Map. Director of Public Works Seumalo said that area is not
affected by the changes. He stated the maps are reflected by the FEMA Maps and the
City has no control over what is included. Council Member Magee asked if the
Ordinance contained the language that was relayed by Ms. Thompson. Ms. Thompson
confirmed that the ordinance should contain a section that states the definitions.
Council Member Magee asked if a property owner would be allowed to increase
property elevation in order to correct a flood issue. Director of Public Works Seumalo
stated, indicated they would, but, there were strict provisions, such as a hydrology study
so they would not impact the surrounding property owners.
Council Member Hickman asked what would be the necessary elevation when a
property owner demolishes an existing building and rebuilds. Director of Public Works
stated the new structure can be at the 100 year flood elevation; however if this
ordinance is approved, they would need to construct two feet above the one hundred
year flood elevation. Council Member Hickman asked how the outflow channel was
factored into this. Director of Public Works Seumalo stated at the time the outflow
channel was constructed, a conditional letter of map revision was processed through
FEMA, which changed the flood plain.
Council Member Buckley noted that this does not apply to existing structures and it
sounded like substantial rehabilitation renovation is similar to when a renovation is done
under any building code. Director of Public Works Seumalo concurred. Council
Member Buckley asked if it applied to already approved projects. Director of Public
Works stated if the project was approved prior to today, then they would not need to
change.
Mayor Melendez asked if this was only to livable space or does it include garages.
Director of Public Works Seumalo stated it would be calculated at the lowest floor level.
He stated if the garage was detached then it is different. However, so if it is an
attached garage, then it would be the lowest floor.
(7) Consideration of Ordinance No. 2010-1285 and Resolution No. 2010-056
Rescinding Protect Approval for Lake Street Market Place
Recommendation: It is recommended the City Council (1) waive further reading
and introduce by title only Ordinance No. 1285 rescinding Ordinance No. 1264;
and (2) adopt Resolution No. 2010-056 rescinding the project approvals
previously approved by the City Council and the Planning Commission related to
