PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS - 1 MINUTE
Paula Graver, 218 Ellis Street, read a poem by Helen Steiner Rice.
Peter Dawson, 18010 Grand Avenue, commented that every organization has someone
who stands out in a crowd, and noted that there was such a person in LEMSAR. He
detailed the work of Les Cameron, monitoring the radio for long hours, dispatching
LEMSAR members and assisting boaters, and mourned his loss.
~
Senator Dennis Hollingsworth noted that he had to catch a plane and addressed the
MSHCP consideration on this agenda. He noted a letter from Senator Battin,
Assemblyman Haynes and himself, requesting that the MSHCP not be approved. He
detailed his past involvement in the plan about ten years ago on behalf of the Riverside
County Farm Bureau. He noted that the plan originally dealt with the Stephens Kangaroo
Rat and looked for a way to protect species and provide for the ever growing population.
He indicated that this plan had missed that mark in that it was not voluntary or incentive
based, it was not better than the status quo and the acreage had been substantially
increased. He commented that the plan said the State and Federal agencies would
acquire about 97,000 acres, but questioned where that money would come from; noting
that it would not be available in Sacramento for quite some time. He questioned the
thought of replacing existing regulations with custom made regulations; noting that 75
species were being protected for which there were no current regulations. He stressed
the costs and liabilities vs. the relatively few benefits of the plan. He further stressed the
need for a plan that work for everyone, including Lake Elsinore, builders and farmers.
Richard Gordon, 211 N. Scrivener, indicated that he was representing two organizations,
being the NAACP of Lake Elsinore and the Friends of the Lake Elsinore Library. He
noted that Monday, January 19th would be Martin Luther King's Birthday and announced
that there would be a program on Saturday at 2 p.m. to include poetry and "Martin on the
Mountain Top". He noted that Martin Luther King's Birthday was not a "black" holiday,
but rather an American holiday. He invited everyone to attend the event on Saturday.
George Alongi commented that he was glad to see Mr. Vasquez recognized by the City.
He further commented on the systems in place in the United States, and requested that the
Council make its decision on the MSHCP, based on what was good for the community.

City Manager Watenpaugh noted that representatives of the applicant were present

the Council on November 25th and deferred to this date. He detailed the history of
the property, with the original specific plan approved in 1989. He detailed the

that at the last meeting in November additional information had been presented by
the applicant prior to the meeting.
Mayor Buckley opened the public hearing at 7:49 p.m., asking those in favor of
the project to speak.
Bob Parmele, representing Castle & Cooke, commented that after ten years plus,

place. He indicated that they were also working with EVMWD to provide a
Community Facilities District with ten other developers for sewer and water
facilities. He noted that Castle and Cooke had plans for commercial development
and expansion of the Outlet Center. He indicated that they would like to move
forward this evening and try to work out the remaining issues with the City. He
noted that one discussion at the last meeting was the transportation corridor, and
indicated that they took that issue seriously. He explained that after a meeting
with RCTC, they had an understanding that a $5 million contract would be let this
year to address the options. He commented that the other half of the pie was the
completion of the lane to Orange County. He clarified that the area from the 91
Freeway to Highway 74 included about six or more options. He indicated that
Castle & Cooke were in support of the corridor coming through Lake Elsinore as
it would be good for the City, good for Castle & Cooke, and good for the
residents. He stressed that they had taken the time to try to determine the impact
of those proposal on their project, and indicated that they felt that the approval of
their project would not prohibit that opportunity. He pointed out the possible road
configuration around their property and noted the possible internal phasing
options. He noted the existing development agreement in place, and suggested
that it would give the City the necessary latitude. He express their willingness
and desire to work with RCTC and the City to explore the options for the corridor.
Mayor Buckley asked those persons in opposition to the project to speak. No one
spoke.
Councilman Magee asked the City Attorney about the hearing on November 25th
and questioned the additional information which caused the item to be pulled off
the agenda. City Attorney Leibold indicated that the applicant submitted 25 pages
of additional CEQA findings, which had been reviewed and incorporated much of
it into the staff report on pages 5 - 10 of the staff report. She indicated that they
related to project specific impacts and the need for the addendum and findings for
CEQA documentation.
Mayor Buckley commented that the Planning Commission did not have the
additional information and questioned if there had been a problem if the Planning
Commission had received it. City Attorney Leibold clarified that it was more
comprehensive information and reports for the project.
r---
Councilman Hickman questioned the Murdock land, and whether there was land
dedicated to the habitat. Bob Parmele indicated that he was not sure of the
commercial Outlet property, but some land on the Pacific Clay property had been

defined so far. Councilman Hickman questioned the requirement that they pay the
habitat fees. Mr. Parmele indicated that the fee was not required. City Manager
Watenpaugh noted the sites adjacent to the Outlet Center, which had been set
aside for habitat. He noted a small area to the far east of the Outlet Center for
habitat. Councilman Hickman inquired if there was a requirement for the fire
station. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that there was not a requirement.
Councilman Magee questioned Terra Cotta Road and where it currently ends. He
inquired if there would ultimately be a paved link to that area. Community
Development Director Brady indicated that one was not required at this point, so a
gap would remain; but such a link would be approved with the adjacent property
owner.
Councilman Magee noted that he met with Castle and Cooke regarding this
project; and indicated that in order to have a positive action discussion they
needed to address the concerns from the last meeting, particularly with regard to
preserving the corridor to allow for access if it was chosen for the route. He
indicated that they went above and beyond the call of duty, and did research on
the viability of the corridor extension, if approved. He commended them on their
efforts. He noted his discussion with Congressman Calvert to obtain funds to
study the six different alternatives; and his assurance that there would be some
money to look at the Nichols Road alternatives. He expressed appreciation for the
time and effort to look at options, and their willingness to work with the RCTC.
Councilman Schiffner indicated that this project had been around a long time and
he looked forward to seeing it done. He commented that the project had
tremendous views and it was a fantastic project. He indicated that he felt the
commitment had been made to work with the City to accommodate the road, and
the area would be protected at this point. He moved to approve the project.
Mayor Pro Tem Kelley commented that the street improvements for Nichols Road
would be four traffic lanes with a raised median, bike lanes, sidewalks and
landscaped parkways; and Lake Street would be five lanes, two left turn lanes,
medians, bike lanes, sidewalks, etc. She concurred that this project had been
around a long time and they already had a specific plan with building rights. She
indicated that she was pleased that the Council concerns did not fall on deaf ears.
She commented that she felt this would be a very nice project with larger lot sizes.

Councilman Schiffner concurred that it was the intention to do considerable
improvements on Lake Street, including increasing the turning radius on the sharp
turn and possibly straightening out some minor curves on that road.
City Treasurer Weber questioned the financials for the Community Facilities
District for funding of roads, sewers and lighting. Mr. Parmele indicated that he
was not certain of the funding process at this time, but knew there were conditions
for some of the improvements. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that he could
provide Mr. Weber with a copy of the development agreement, which would
clarify the stipulation for public infrastructure. He indicated that it would either
be a credit for infrastructure or be done through a CFD. City Treasurer Weber
questioned what had been done to date. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that
it had not been done yet.
,--
Mayor Buckley indicated that the main concern with this project was the potential
elimination of the option for the road to Orange County. He noted the possible
configurations and indicated that Nichols would be a four lane road. He further
noted the potential for people to be irritated if it was not planned for a six lane
road. He indicated that he appreciated the words of the Murdock representatives,
but he would appreciate the words on paper more. He noted that Corona had put a
moratorium in place to assure the ability to accommodate the road to Orange
County; and stressed the different engineering standards around a freeway. He
requested that they be a good corporate citizen and agree to an addendum to the
pre annexation agreement; and suggested that the addendum come back to the next
meeting. Mr. Parmele indicated that he appreciated the concern for clarity, and
stressed that they wanted to comply and cooperate with the request and be part of
the process; but he did not think it was necessary to defer a decision based on a
couple of weeks. He indicated that they wanted to work with the situation for the
corridor, short of deferring the project.
,--
Darrin Stroud clarified that with regard to an addendum, it would not be possible,
because there was no nexus to this project to allow such a mechanism. He further
clarified that the matter was not noticed for tonight, so they could not commit to
the requirement without violating the Brown Act requirements. He commented
that while there was a request for the commitment in writing, it actually was
already in writing; and noted the appropriate sections in the Pre annexation and
Development Agreement, the City's General Plan, and the Specific Plan. He
reiterated that Castle & Cooke was willing and ready to work with the City,
RCTC and Orange County to explore the possibility of a corridor through the
Pacific Clay Property.
AGENDA ITEM NO. ~ I\;,.

Page Twelve - City Council Minutes - January 13, 2004
Mayor Buckley clarified that he was not asking for a vote tonight, but rather
something at the next meeting. He commented that while Castle & Cooke
objected to specific language when the agreement was approved, but the nexus
was something both the City and the developer wanted. He stressed the potential
timing of the project vs. the impact on the decision for the corridor, and
questioned why there could not be something they both agreed on for the next
meeting. Mr. Stroud indicated that such an opener would open it up for additional
CEQA analysis. He clarified that the specific plan process was for making those
determinations on transportation and other CEQA issues. He indicated that there
was a commitment to work with the agencies to make the project happen and they
stood ready to work through this issue.
Councilman Magee indicated that he appreciated the comments by Mr. Stroud,
and indicated he would like a copy of the Preannexation Agreement. He
recognized the difficulty in obtaining entitlement and concurred that reopening the
process was not appropriate. He stressed that the applicant had already obtained
the approvals, like them or not. He noted that the applicants were ultimately
business people and the corridor on their property would improve their property,
as it would make the property work more. He indicated that if it made business
sense, they would be economically motivated to make the project happen, and that

streets, parks, storm drains, EVMWD facilities and fees; and for the issuance of
bonds for the improvement area. He detailed the recommendation, and noted that
Harris & Associates had prepared the report. He explained the proposed district
and noted that the public facilities would be financed for Phases 2 through 5 of the
development. He further explained that there was a joint CFD agreement with
the City, EVMWD and Pardee for financing through the bonds. He also explained
that financing on any issuance could not exceed 2%, and the estimated tax rate on
this issue was 1.85%. He advised that this was a land tax which would apply to
all properties in the development, which would benefit from the infrastructure;
and noted that the City would be faced with the long term impact of maintaining
streets and other public facilities. He detailed the recommendations and the

Mayor Buckley opened the public hearing at 8:26 p.m. asking those persons
interested in this item to speak. There were no requests to speak.
City Treasurer Weber addressed the map of Area A and noted the bonds were at
an interest rate of 6.75%. Administrative Services Director Pressey clarified that
in the current market, as of today, the bonds could yield on a 30 year issuance
about 6.5%. City Treasurer Weber questioned the proposed commercial section
on Railroad Canyon Road, and where the V ons and other commercial
development would be. Mr. Pressey indicated that it was not distinguishable on
the map. Mr. Weber commented that no money for the district would come from
the commercial aspect. John Yeager, Legal Counsel for Pardee, indicated that the
commercial piece was not in the first phase, but Area A had been graded for
homes and condominiums. He clarified the improvement Area B would include
the commercial development, as Area A was all residential. Jim Stringer,
representing Pardee, further clarified the area to be funded by this issuance.

Councilman Hickman inquired if the total was up to $88 million or $65 million;
and questioned the City's liability on the district. Mr. Pressey clarified that the
City had an administrative responsibility to monitor the district, but it was not an
obligation of the City or its agencies. Councilman Hickman questioned how often
this issuance could be refinanced. City Manager Watenpaugh questioned the call
to defease the bonds, and when that could first come up. Rod Gunn, Financial
Advisor indicated that was a two part question, as it could be refunded at any
point in time that would make financial sense. He clarified that there was a ten

year call protection for the owners of the bonds, so part of the feasibility if
refunded next year would put money in the bank for the next nine years, for call in
the 1 Oth year. He explained the potential loss with such a scenario, and noted that
the economic reality was closer to ten years.
Councilman Hickman questioned the opportunity for homeowners to prepay their
taxes when they buy the home. Mr. Gunn indicated that homeowners could
prepay their taxes at any time, including when they buy the home. Councilman
Hickman questioned the difference between Marks-Roos and Mello-Roos. Mr.
Gun indicated that it was a matter of specific provisions in the CFD.
Mayor Buckley further clarified the ability to prepay the special taxes. Mr. Gunn
indicated that the option should be offered at the time of sale of the home. City
Treasurer Weber indicated that he was not told that when he bought his him in
April. Mr. Gunn further clarified the total tax per unit, special taxes and the
CFD. He noted that a lot of the City's policies on bonds came from the City's
experience, nearly a decade ago. Councilman Hickman indicated that the report
was very interesting, in that there was a decline of 1.5% in population in 2001.
Mr. Gunn confirmed, noting that in the late nineties, building in Riverside County
virtually stopped.

City Treasurer Weber questioned the fees paid for the District. Mr. Gunn
indicated that the total fee for $12 million, was between $250,000 and $300,000.
Mr. Weber commented that the City used the same group all the time and go
through the same motions, and questioned if there was a discount. Mr. Gunn
noted that there had been issues in Lake Elsinore for the past eight years, making
each issuance different. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that there would be a
workshop later in the week to clarify those issues. There was further discussion
of the City fees and possible reimbursements to the City from the District. Mr.
Gunn noted that the City had come a long way in restoring the public confidence
in its bonds.
Councilman Magee noted the Harris Report on the fire station, and questioned if
this would fund the vehicles and equipment. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated
that this was the cost for the fire station, but questioned equipment for the station
and vehicles for the cost.
Dennis Anderson, representing Harris & Associates, indicated the costs
incorporated in the district were received from the developer for operations and
maintenance only. Councilman Magee noted page 3 relating to

equipment. Mr. Yeager indicated that the District would fund construction and
equipment in the first bond issues; and it was also already set up with the CFD for
public safety services to fund the maintenance. Councilman Magee questioned
the 300 unit CFD for the equipment and vehicles. Mr. Yeager indicated the cost
estimate included a truck. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified that the Council
was looking for the dollars for the fire engine; noting that Station 85 cost more
than was originally planned. Councilman Magee inquired if the additional
funding would have to come from the general fund. City Manager Watenpaugh
confirmed that it would either be from the general fund or the development
agreement fees.

Contribution to LEMSAR - $2.500.
r-.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy noted that the Lake lost a good friend,
with the passing of Les Cameron, and commented that he would be sorely missed.
He explained this item which would support the volunteer, non-profit organization
in support ofthe Sheriff's Department, lake patrol. He indicated that this
contribution would support their fuel account.
Planning Commissioner Uhlry indicated that he got answers to some of his
original questions; but questioned when the matter first came to council for
funding, suggesting that it was for the purchase of equipment and fuel and out-of-
pocket expenses. He questioned the funding for fuel and the past use of credit
cards. He further questioned the reason for the six month allocation.
Councilman Magee asked what the impact would be if the $2,500 was not funded.
Mr. Kilroy indicated that the lack of support by the City could have a big impact
on the group. He explained that if LEMSAR were to disband, the lake could not
be operated at an acceptable level.
City Treasurer Weber questioned how much was in their account right now.
"......
Gil Lerma, Commander of LEMSAR responded that there was very little, if any;
noting that they had held off on equipment purchases. Councilman Magee
questioned the impact no funding would have on the summer season. Mr. Lerma
indicated that the members might fund themselves as they had done in the past.
He further indicated that it was not mandatory, but would help to maintain the
safety equipment and provide fuel for emergency call outs. He noted that they

spent their own money for general patrol, but this funding was used for equipment
such as first aid, fire extinguishers and life jackets.
Mayor Pro Tern Kelley commented that LEMSAR provides a wonderful service
for Lake Elsinore and indicated that this commitment would not make a difference
in spite of the State budget. She expressed support for this funding.
Councilman Schiffner commented that LEMSAR has provided a very valuable
service for many years; and were only recently assisted with their expenses.

32. Acceptance of Planning Commission Resignation & Advertisement for
Applications.
Mayor Buckley announced the resignation of Commissioner Nash from the
Planning Commission; and noted that his term and the terms of Commissioners
Barnes and Matthies would be ending in June of this year. He suggested filling
the vacancy immediately, with the proviso that the appointee would have to
reapply like everyone else if they are interested in continued service. He further
suggested directing staff to start on May 1st to collect applications for the three
open seats.
'""""'"
Councilman Schiffner indicated that under those circumstances he would agree to
someone being appointed on an interim basis.
Mayor Buckley recommended appointment of Michael O'Neal to the vacant seat.
Mayor Pro Tern Kelley requested clarification that this was temporary, and the
process would continue with interview and a public advertisement.

Tern Kelley noted that last time two Councilmembers and the Planning
Commission Chairman participated in the last process and it was very well
received.
Planning Commission Chairman LaPere presented letters for the Council and
expressed that as many people as possible could be involved in the process. He
requested that Mayor Buckley participate with himself and another
Councilmember in the interview process. He noted that he had provided a page of

Public Safety Commission.
Mayor Buckley noted that the Commission was created in 1984 and functioned
until 1987; however it was still on the books and the Council was able to appoint
people to the Commission. He noted the staff report and indicated that he felt it
was a good idea to hold a joint City Council/Public Safety Commission meeting;
and commented that Sheriff Doyle was in favor of the reinstitution of the
Commission. He explained that it was an opportunity to connect the community
to the law enforcement and fire representatives. He commented that the
community was changing and this was a very important component. He suggested
that the Commission could also be tasked with Disaster Preparedness, and work in
concert with the local public safety professionals. He indicated that he would like
to appoint the Commission tonight and set a meeting the last week in January as a
joint study session with the Commissioners, so the Council could set priorities
and the Commission could move forward.
Councilman Schiffner suggested postponing the appointments, until the Council
could have a study session to discuss the details and get input from the public.
,..-..-
Mayor Pro Tern Kelley addressed the Municipal Code and indicated that what was
done in the 1980's was no longer appropriate. She suggested that there appeared
to be a conflict between the purpose ofthe Commission and the Council's policy.

She noted that there was also a lack of clarity with regard to compensation,
appointments, etc.; and concurred that a study session would be appropriate so the
Council could decide on the goals, objectives, appointments, and talk with the
police and fire chief, since the Code requires that they attend meetings. She
stressed the need for revisions before the Commission moved forward. She
commented that she would assume each Councilmember could appoint a member
to the Commission, and indicated that she was not prepared to make an
appointment this evening, as the objectives are not clear. She stressed the need
for a study session.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY KELLEY TO SET A STUDY
SESSION PRIOR TO REESTABLISHING THE PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMISSION.
Mayor Buckley questioned if the study session should be joint or Council alone.
Councilman Magee noted that there was opposition to this formation in July,
2002; as well as opposition from the Police Chief. He noted that he had
significant reservations with the policy and indicated that he was not prepared to
name an appointee at this time. He concurred that the study session was a good
idea, and suggested that it occur soon. He indicated that while the Municipal
Code section needed to be modified, he was strongly in favor of a Public Safety
Commission. He commented on events in his neighborhood and indicated that
his neighbors banded together with a Community Resources Officer to put people
in jail. He stressed that the Commission could provide assistance to
neighborhoods and the law enforcement professionals. He reiterated that while he
strongly supported the Commission, he agreed that the policy matters needed
serious work.

Chris Hyland, 15181 Wavecrest, indicated that the reestablishment of the
Commission was a great idea. She commented that the Neighborhood Watch in
her area was very accommodating to the neighbors in her area. She suggested that
it would only enhance the coverage; noting that it was not always possible to get
an answer right away, from the Police Department. She expressed support for this
action.
Edith Stafford, 29700 Hursh, indicated that she knew how the Commission got
started and commented on a problem tenant. She indicated that in her own

Design Review for Industrial Project No.2003-01 "Pasadena Business Park II".
~
Community Development Director Brady detailed this request and noted the
location. He indicated that it would include 15 industrial buildings for about
104,100 square feet. He detailed the construction and amenities to be provided,
and noted that staff had worked to reduce the impacts to the streetscape, by
changing the parking area for better curb appeal.
Councilman Magee questioned Condition No. 44 and requested clarity on 3rd
Street, noting that it was not paved and did not touch this development. He
questioned the nexus for paving ~ of the street. Community Development
Director Brady clarified that they were conditioned and bonded for those
improvements, but the condition wsa modified by the Planning Commission at the
request of the applicant. He noted that the concern was that the cost of putting in
part of the road would be greater than the whole road, so an in-lieu fee was
approved, so the road could be completed all at once; and the applicant agreed to
that condition. Councilman Magee further questioned the bonding for the two
properties up stream toward Collier. Mr. Brady clarified the agreement for ~
street improvements.
,.......
Councilman Schiffner inquired if there were more properties on the same side of
the channel. Mr. Brady indicated that they were in the same situation as this
property and clarified the property location vs. the channel location. Councilman
Schiffner noted that it was unusual that they would be required to improve a
property with no benefit or access to them. Mr. Brady clarified the connection of
Pasadena Street to Third Street and the future developments which would
generate traffic.

process.
Mayor Buckley requested that everyone keep their comments short and indicated
that the three minute rule would be strictly enforced.

Pete Dawson, 18010 Grand Avenue, indicated that the big problem with this
matter was the disproportionate handling, with big brother deciding the City's
destiny. He commented that it was clear that cities like Temecula or Canyon Lake
could not be made to retract their development, and questioned how to even this
out. He suggested that the proposal require that those who gave up less balanced
the program by giving money to assist those who gave up more. He indicated that
they would not agree, but it could start a more reasonable plan.
Dennis O'Neil, 19900 MacArthur Blvd., Irvine, indicated that no one was sure if
the Council would adopt the plan, but noted that they were on record and
continued to affirm that Canyon Hills had all of their entitlements and
environmental permits. He suggested that if the MSHCP was adopted they would
submit that appropriate language should be included to exempt projects such as
Canyon Hills from the program.
Ron LaPere, 16867 Wells Street, indicated everyone in the audience saw this as a
hard spot for the Council, but if it was possible to condition items from the
County the City could follow the progress on the implementation. He
suggested that the Council was damned either way right now, but should
consider written additions to make their position clear to the County and watch to
see that development occurred as intended.

Carmela Loelkes, 25190 Hancock Ave., Murrieta, expressed trust that the Council
would consider adopting the MSHCP, as they had received information in support
of the plan. She commented that the small landowners were left out of the plan.
She indicated that, as proposed, the plan was not perfect, but it would allow more
developable land to be developed. She encouraged the Council to participate and
not be left out, as most of the other cities had adopted the plan.
~.
Gail Barton, P. O. Box 1929, Fallbrook, thanked the Council for the opportunity
to speak and for its cautious consideration. She noted the growth of the County
and indicated that the MSHCP preserved open space, allowed for recreation and
preserved the beauty of the County. She indicated that as a property owner in the
criteria area, she supported the plan, and noted that the benefits outweighed the
burdens. She further indicated that she would not want to be a property owner in
a city that did not participate. She noted that he property adjoins the Southwest
Multi-species Reserve, and her property was threatened by the recent fires, but
because of the fire plan in place and the efficient response by the Reserve
Manager, the back fires were set on the reserve and the lands outside were
protected. She stressed consideration of the positive contributions the plan would
make to the future of Lake Elsinore.
Donna Franson, 7 Villa Valtelena, indicated that she was a 12 year resident of the
City, and Chair of the Citizens for a Better Lake Elsinore. She advised that she
had researched this issue for about six months and suggested that by accepting this
plan, the Council would approve establishing another bureaucracy costing about
$1 billion over the next ten years. She indicated that the City would be sued by
property owners, as the plan would have an impact on their ability to build on
their property. She noted that they would receive fair value for their property, but
not anything close to the potential value if they were to build on their land. She
questioned what would happen if the program ran out of funds; and expressed
concern that much of the designated land was the most desirable for commercial
and high-tech industrial. She suggested that not adopting the plan would save $1
billion, avoid eight pending lawsuits, and encourage business and land developers
to provide more business opportunities. She indicated that she would support a
reasonable plan, but was against the City being required to provide 7,800 acres.
She asked that the Council plan for the future of Lake Elsinore and not adopt the
plan.
,,--
Ed Sauls, The Sauls Company, indicated that he did not envy the Council on this
decision, and noted the amount of property impacted in the City. He indicated
that solutions had been found to address 6,700 dwelling units in the City and other

would be exempted by Development Agreements. He indicated that about 1 ,200
acres had not been resolved, but there was a willingness to work on solutions. He
recommended adoption of the plan, with his study document attached as part of
the resolution. He further recommended that the Council decide that the
recommendations on the implementation were consistent with the MSHCP, as it
would make life easier for the Council and the property owners, and remove
uncertainties. He commented that no one was excited about the plan, and
everyone would like improvements, but the Board of Supervisors had said that
this was the plan. He indicated that the developers were forced to choose the best
possible alternative, and after a review of the projects in the City, he would
recommend adoption of the plan with specific conditions, such as the inclusion of
his report. He commented on a number of general statements regarding the plan
and reiterated the concern of Senator Hollingsworth that this was not a voluntary
plan, and stressed that it represented about 80% of the undeveloped property in
the City.
Scott Woodward, resident of Murrieta, indicated that he had built a project here;
and suggested that if the council did not approve the plan, it would delay the
opportunity to move forward with growth and cause obstacles for building. He
commented that it was not the best plan, but it was better than independent action.
He indicated that it would protect 148 species for 75 years, and he would hate to
see Lake Elsinore left out of the program.
"-'"
Bruce Colbert, representing the Property Owners Association of Riverside
County, indicated that he outlined four key concerns on January f:}h. He indicated
that the first was the potential loss of revenues, which would be far greater than
the Measure A funds allocated to the City. He expressed concern that the plan
could result in more land being proposed for habitat than the current regulations
would require. He expressed further concern that the plan used an arbitrary
approach, which was not based on the presence of species. He indicated that the
proposed process was more burdensome that what was currently in place, and the
plan was written to make the wildlife agencies the ultimate authority. He
suggested that there was no reason to participate without some level of certainty.
Jeff Drongesen, representing the California Department of Fish and Game,
reiterated their support for the plan and assured the Council that they were
dedicated to successful implementation of the plan. He indicated that after final
approval, the final biological opinions would be finalized.

Frans Bigelow, representing Castle & Cooke, indicated that they were always in
favor of the concept of the MSHCP, but he could not support this plan without
changes. He expressed concern with the loss of local control in land use decisions
and the seven step process for permits. He indicated that the biological
assessments were not accurate, would impact taxes, and the ultimate judge and
jurywill be the resource agencies. He stressed that the rules would be based on
the written word and not the County's interpretations. He suggested changing the
words to reflect with the County says they mean. He suggested that the City
should negotiate on the verbiage, while there was still some leverage.
".--
Darren Stroud, representing Castle & Cooke, indicated that they submitted a letter
earlier which detailed their concerns with the MSHCP, from the legal and
practical perspectives. He noted the volume of information provided and stressed
that there were major problems with the plan as drafted. He specifically stressed
the issues of local control, fiscal impacts and administrative burdens. He asked
that the Council not rush into approvals tonight, despite the County deadline, and
noted that it was arbitrary and self-imposed by the County. He noted ongoing
federal litigation on the biological review, and indicated that even if the litigation
was circumvented, the City could not be arbitrarily cut out without additional
work. He indicated that Lake Elsinore is the key to the plan with 7,000 acres; and
noted the linkages and corridors necessary for the plan. He addressed 14. 1 of the
implementing agreement and indicated that the service could not issue permits
until all parties have signed the implementing agreement. He indicated that
Measure A funds could not be lost or become an issue for five years. He stressed
the need to work out the issues and develop a better plan before it is adopted.
Ed Fitzpatrick, Eastbridge Partners, indicated that this matter had been discussed
for a long time; and noted the impacts of mitigation on the Ramsgate project. He
commented that with the adoption of the MSHCP he would have the opportunity
to sell some conservation land and develop a deal with the regulatory agencies.
He noted his past negotiations with the County and assistance from the regulatory
agencies to allow him to develop 260 parcels. He noted that he worked with the
Sauls Group on their study and indicated that his project would suffer further loss
without the MSHCP. He urged the Council to support the MSHCP.
".--
Jane Block, representing the Endangered Habitat League, indicated that she was
still on the committee mentioned by Senator Hollingsworth and they have
achieved many of their goals. She expressed hopes that the elected officials
would consider existing agreements and noted that the majority of the reserve
would be in place one way or another. She indicated that the MSHCP would

~
provide recreational opportunities, enhance the quality of life for all citizens and
attract businesses. She expressed hopes that the City would make the MSHCP a
success.
Jim Lunger, 15391 Regatta Way, urged a yes vote on the MSHCP. He noted the
1988 approval of Measure A, by a nearly 4 to 1 margin; and the additional funding
for transportation improvements, approved in 2002. He indicated that a yes vote
on the MSHCP would provide funding of$38 million. He indicated that the
failure to approve the program would cause the City to forfeit tax dollars, which
would go back to the County. He suggested that the approval, would make
projects easier for the developers. He encouraged a yes vote to keep tax money in
the City and promote the City as managing resources in a good manner.
Jim Lacey, Mayor Pro Tern of Dana Point, and representative of the Save
Proposition 13 Committee, indicated that as a founding member of the Howard
Jarvis Tax Group he had long experience with Proposition 13. He advised that his
organization was active in the opposition to the MSHCP. He presented a list of
884 homeowners who were opposed to this measure. He indicated that if the
proposal was approved, project planning would be delayed and environmental
specialist would be hit by the bureaucracy. He noted that the California Coastal
Commission had not lived up to their promises; and indicated that as a
Councilman in a coastal city, he knows that the Coastal Commission calls the
shots. He suggested that adoption of the MSHCP would create another Coastal
Commission to call the shots for the City. He addressed Measure A and indicated
that they supported the Measure, because it was to help with infrastructure. . He
suggested that linking transportation to habitat was morally, voter fraud. He
stressed that the City's arm was being twisted in an unfair way, as the plan was
not well thought out and not properly funded.
~
Ed Roohan, President of Castle & Cooke, indicated that he was present to share
brief views on the MSHCP. He indicated that the plan was hard work, put forth
by good people, with great intentions, and while the concept is perfect, the
application is too much and ill funded. He addressed the acreage involved and
suggested that it was a massive environmentalist dream. He indicated that the
proposed acreage could create an 8 lane highway from Los Angeles to New York,
eight times. He commented that the County came up with the plan, but the
resource agencies were the drivers, and the land owners did not have a chance to
vote. He suggested that the plan would destroy land values, and he indicated that
the voters were owed the chance to at least have good science say that it was well

funded. He urged the Council to oppose the land due to too much money, too
much land and too much government.
Michelle Staples, representing the Riverside County Farm Bureau, indicated that
the Bureau had negotiated a workable framework and would like to support the
MSHCP; however in its present form, as submitted, they could not do so. She
advised that the MSHCP increases exposure of farmers and ranchers to the illegal
take of endangered species, and does not provide a workable framework for
agricultural land owners. She stressed the heavy burdens in fees, studies and
permitting; and reiterated that they did not support the MSHCP because it would
add to the regulatory burden. She indicated that they were working with the
County to try to amend the plan for a workable solution and streamline the
regulatory process. She requested that the Council not approve the plan.
..--.
Ron Hewison, 35 Villa Valtelena stated that there was no dog in this fight. He
indicated that he chose to move to Lake Elsinore instead of Temecula. He
commented that it was interesting that Castle & Cooke would not commit to the
Mayor in writing with regard to the corridor, but would ask that the County add
words to gain their support. He suggested that generally the comments against the
plan were subjective, and noted that Senator Hollingsworth did not say no. He
indicated that Lake Elsinore was late in joining the process and should make the
move and get in. He concurred that the action was taking a gamble, but suggested
there was too much speculation. He agreed that the plan was not perfect, but
recommended that the City move forward and try to negotiate.
Norm Gritton concurred with Ed Sauls, Ed Fitzpatrick and Scott Woodward on
their comments. He concurred that this was not a perfect plan, but at this point it
was all that was available, even though the options were not good on either side.
He suggested that with the money spent by the County, it would be very expensive
for the City to create its own plan; and suggested that anyone City could not fund
creation of a better plan. He indicated that the problem with the environmental
issues was that it was not getting any better and there would probably be more
problems at the City level than at the County level. He suggested that joining the
program was the best action for the City Council.
Kathleen Hamilton, 42626 De Luz, indicated that joining the MSHCP, would give
the City a chance to grow and create a lasting legacy for the future.
r---
Barry Jones, representing Helix Environmental, indicated that his firm was
involved in 50 projects in Riverside County, and would benefit by the plan not

being approved. He indicated that it would create more work for him, and while it
was not a perfect plan it would be better for conservation. He indicated that as a
landowner he sees it as a mechanism that is more user friendly to work with the
County. He urged the Council to approve the plan.
Eric Lunde noted that the reoccurring theme with this plan, was that there would
be more requirements and administration, but the regulations today are already
burdensome enough. He indicated that while the plan was far from perfect, it was
superior to the current regulations. He noted that he was in escrow on a piece of
property at the end of Main Street; and indicated that under the plan he could
develop 750 units vs. no units without the plan. He suggested adoption of the
plan, with conditions and if the doomsayers were correct, the City could opt out.
He commented that it would be easier to opt out in the future than it would be to
join in the future. He suggested that the agencies would take revenge and the
bureaucracy would kill growth. He indicated that if the plan did not go through,
he would probably not close on the property. He suggested that the plan was
more of a win-win situation. He expressed hopes that the plan would be adopted.
Ruth Atkins, 15237 Lake Trail Circle, commented on the Los Angeles County
community of "Dairy land" , which was originally dairy farms, bu is now concrete
with no greenbelts. She expressed hopes that the Council would support the
MSHCP for future generations of the City.
......"
Councilman Schiffner indicated that he had been involved in the program for
about five years and had listened to hours and days of conversation from many
people. He further indicated that he had read reams of documents, but he still did
not know the answer to the problem. He commented that he had spoken with
people on both sides of the argument, and good arguments had been presented
tonight as well. He indicated that he could not disagree with anyone, but it was a
very difficult decision and it was not possible to please both sides. He suggested
that he would only be able, to the best of his ability, determine what he felt was in
the best interest of the City of Lake Elsinore, and assumed that the rest of the
Council would do the same.
Councilman Hickman addressed Mr. Sauls and Mr. Lashbrook. He asked Mr.
Sauls about his study of 15 builders and questioned the number of acres involved.
Mr. Sauls indicated that it included 2700 acres to conservation, about 700 acres of
voluntary participation. Councilman Hickman questioned the 3,836 acres of open
space. Mr. Sauls indicated that included the properties within the sphere of
influence, including some at the Lake Street off-ramp. Councilman Hickman ......"

asked Mr. Lashbrook how much acreage they wanted. Mr. Lashbrook indicated
that was difficult to answer, but they would not need the high end of the possible
range. He noted references to 7,800 acres, which it would not be; and suggested it
might be possible to meet at 6,000 acres. He indicated that less than that would
depend on the issues being discussed, configuration of the properties and the
biological arguments. He was confident that 6,000 would meet the obligation, but
noted that analysis was underway to look at a little more than 4,000 acres, which
might meet it. He said his best estimate at this time was 6,000 acres or less.
Councilman Hickman questioned the acreage for open space. Mr. Sauls indicated
that it was his understanding that his property would be exempt from the
multi species plan, and they would not pay fees, as they had already been assessed.
He noted that in the back basin there had been an agreement to contribute over
700 acres. He noted that the yellow areas in the study were the only ones that
were still unresolved.
r--
Councilman Hickman addressed Mr. Lashbrook, and indicated that 7,870 acres
was 47% of the existing vacant land; and stressed the impact that would have on
the City's finances and growth. He suggested that anything over 6,000 was a
problem, and stressed the issues it would create for the City. Mr. Lashbrook
expressed recognition of the concerns and stressed it would not be the maximum
numbers discussed. He indicated that Mr. Saul's numbers seemed to be in the
range and he was sure it would be 6,000 acres or less. Councilman Hickman
inquired how long it would take to buy the land. Mr. Sauls indicated that the total
acquisition was just short of $23 million, and almost all of it was purchased or
nearly funded. Councilman Hickman indicated that his only concern was that it
was nearly in place.
,-..
Mayor Pro Tern Kelley indicated that she was glad to have so many people say
they felt for the Council on this decision. She stressed the difficulty of the
decision, as the most difficult in the last eight years. She indicated that the
difficulty was due to the fact that the program was in conflict with her personal
beliefs. She suggested that as a society, human beings had gone crazy to save the
species, over humans. She noted the impact of mitigation on fires and flooding.
She stressed that the land designated would not be a greenbelt, but rather scrub,
which can not be maintained. She noted the situation of a school being postponed
because of a butterfly, when the schools are already full. She concurred with
Senator Hollingsworth, and indicated that this plan was overboard and goes much
further than is necessary. She noted the amount of information provided and
indicated that it all depends on one's perspective. She indicated that she had
heard from landowners who said they would loose their land, while other people
AQENOA ITEM NO. \. '0 '

Page Sixty- Four - City Council Minutes - January 13,2004
......"
have said the opposite. She noted that people at this meeting had said to make it
work, and while she wished she could make it work, she had tried for almost four
years. She concurred that there was a lot of arm twisting in this process, and
expressed concern that it involved too much land, money and government. She
stressed that it would create a costly bureaucracy and take 4?Oill of the remaining
developable land. She indicated that lots of property owners would be impacted.
She stressed that while she would concur that greenbelts were needed, but this
would not accomplish that as it would be scrub. She noted that the common
thought is that no one likes the plan on either side; and questioned why it had not
changed if no one liked it. She expressed disappointment that a better
arrangement could not be found. She indicated that the concept was great, but it
was creating another layer of government, taking dollars and increasing the price
of homes. She stressed that the builder fees would be passed on to the
homeowners, and there was already some difficulty affording homes in Lake
Elsinore. She indicated that the plan was not being spread equally and Lake
Elsinore was being impacted more than anyone. She stressed that there were still
unknowns with regard to numbers and future costs. She commented that she had
many concerns with the plan including the weighted vote, the costs to administer
the plan, the amount of land involved the loss of revenue, the potential for
litigation and the burdensome process. She stressed that she could not support
the plan.
......"
Councilman Magee questioned when "bugs and bunnies" became so important
and shared the disappointment and frustration of many people. He concurred that
this plan had made the species more important than the school children, noting
that kids would be in temporary facilities because of the Endangered Species Act
and a butterfly. He indicated that he was asked to state a position on this matter
last September at a forum; and commented that it was a good idea, but too costly
and requiring too much of the City. He noted that the situation was still the same.
He addressed Mr. Lashbrook regarding his very pointed letter last week, and
commended him on answering and addressing his concerns. He indicated that the
possibility of an acreage reduction from 7,800 to 6,000 was a step in the right
direction, and concurred that there was a need to indemnify the City against
litigation. He addressed the acreage under negotiation, and expressed hope for a
determination that 6,000 was the mark for the City for the next 75 years. He
addressed Mr. Bigelow and noted that it was important to negotiate, while there
was still some leverage; and the County would take that away if the plan was not
passed tonight. He indicated that he had his arm twisted in his home, office and
in the car on the cell phone; and noted that he had never had so many threats of
lawsuits. He commented that information received today from Supervisor

Ashley's representative helped him greatly, and clarified that when the HANS
process was complete and an agreement reached on the acreage to be acquired, the
permit process could be done by the City and a grading permit issued. He
indicated this was the most important information, if it would allow work to move
forward. He advised that for him to take the step to approve the plan, he would
want the County to continue to work with the Sauls Report, and include other
people, such as Castle & Cooke; and maintain the ability for the corridor to
Orange County to got through Lake Street or Nichols Road. He further advised
that if the County proceeds to acquire property, he would need the assurance that
the City is not slitting its own throat and hurting the ability to maintain the
corridor. He indicated that he could not agree to adopt the plan to sell that
property and have it not be touched. He further indicated that he would want
County staff, at no cost to Lake Elsinore, to use the people to draft and fund the
conclusion that we have reached the threshold at or before 6,000 acres. He
commented that he would also love to hear from Fish and Game that they would
be a good partner and act in good faith. He indicated that he would need
assurance they would be there to assist. He noted that he was still uncomfortable
with where the City would be legally if the plan was adopted. He indicated that
he would need the County and RSA to indemnify against all legal actions, if the
MSHCP is approved.
Supervisor Buster noted that there had been a number of cooperative projects
between the City and the County. He indicated that while the plan was complex,
the basis was simple, and the cooperative approach had the most strength and
flexibility. He stressed the onerous requirements of the regulatory agencies, and
reiterated the need for a collaborative approach. He noted the options
accomplished to date, and indicated that the school would be able to proceed with
approval of the plan. He commented that the City should not join the plan
because the other cities have, but because it is right for the City of Lake Elsinore.
He stressed the desire to work with the City to address the complexities of the
issues. He indicated that the City would be a partner at the table, with extra
voting power.
~
Supervisor Ashley concurred with Supervisor Buster, and indicated that the
solutions by Mr. Sauls were on the right track. He indicated that the statements
and requests were reasonable with the right approach; and it should not allow a
future corridor to be locked up. He indicated that he would support the
considerations as outlined and he felt Supervisor Tavaglione would support them
as well.

Jeff Drongesen, representing the California Department ofFish and Game,
thanked the Council for their question and indicated that they were here to stay
and had support at high levels. He noted that he had been on both sides of the
table and had participated in the planning process. He indicated that he was still
involved in the plan and was present to show support for successful
implementation. Councilman Magee questioned their commitment to the plan.
Mr. Drongensen confirmed their commitment and noted that they had obtained a
grant for this area specifically to assist with the plan. Councilman Magee inquired
if 6,000 acres would satisfy them. Mr. Drongensen indicated that the numbers
were flexible.
Councilman Magee indicated that he would like to hear about the staffing for
continued negotiations and a report making the finding that the requirement has
been met. Mr. Lashbrook indicated that was always a discussion by the
Supervisors, so he believed there was support on the Board to do so. He indicated
that he did not see a problem in working with the projects for a cooperative
venture between the City and County staff and the property owner groups. He
advised that all of that information would go to the findings; and explained that
the goal was to draft the findings, narrow them down and justify the acres that
would be required and layout the lines. Councilman Magee questioned the
indemnification on the General Plan. Mr. Lashbrook indicated that they would
indemnify all jurisdictions on issues relating to adoption of the MSHCP; however
he clarified for full disclosure, that if the General Plan was amended, causing
litigation, it would not be addressed. He explained that the Board had said they
would deal with cities in terms of providing litigation support. Councilman
Magee questioned their willingness to work with other members of the
development community. Mr. Lashbrook noted the discussion this evening and
indicated that there was a desire to work with Castle and Cooke, noting that it
would take two to negotiate. He indicated that with regard to the corridor, the
held important land for potential roads, and that land would not be included in the
reserve system. He assured Council they would work to resolve the issue.
......"
Mayor Buckley addressed the indemnification in Section 23 and suggested
verbiage to show that RCHCA would indemnify the cities, which was the intent.
Mr. Lashbrook indicated that the JP A document was a function of the authority,
and while he had no person problem with the change, he would have to pass it on
to the lawyers, and it would be a decision by the JP A. Mayor Buckley addressed
the issue of weighted voting, and indicated that he would still maintain that it was
a positive for the City, but noted an issues which had arisen on the matter.

Rick Bishop, representing WRCOG, addressed the weighted vote, and indicated
that it would only be called for by a member of the board, to make sure that the
vote is confirmed by both sides. He indicated that with regard to a veto of the
weighted vote, both the Board and the cities would have to confirm the simple
majority votes, so it would work both ways.
,--..
Mayor Buckley addressed the map and concurred with Mr. Magee, that if it was
just about "bugs and bunnies" he would agree. He indicated that it was more
about including roads, such as the Trabuco Canyon alignment, at one of two
locations. He commented that it was very possible that if the City did not
participate in the MSHCP, that it would not have the possibility of that road. He
indicated that he knew a lot of people who would be happy to have a quicker route
to Orange County; and business owners who would love the jobs from Orange
County to come to Riverside. He indicated that passing the MSHCP would not
guarantee the road, but failure to do so would guarantee that it would not happen.
He noted that with regard to property values, homes were scarcer, so existing
home values would go up; and suggested that the MSHCP would increase the
value of existing homes and encourage new homes to be of higher property
values. He indicated that he heard a number of concerns about the plan, such as
building a pool or deck requiring a new permit process, and.a huge billion dollar
bureaucracy; and stressed that someone from the Council would be sitting on the
Board to decide what, when and where to buy property. He commented that the
City did not have that power now with the State and Federal agencies.
Mayor Buckley requested consideration of Resolution No. 2004-10. Mayor Pro
Tern Kelley questioned the resolution and if it would include the proposed
changes. City Attorney Leibold clarified the required actions, noting that there
were five actions, four tonight and the fifth being the hearing on the ordinance.
She indicated that the first resolution related to the CEQA findings.
Councilman Schiffner requested that the votes on this matter be done by roll call

Mayor Buckley noted that there were a number of changes proposed for
Resolution No. 2004-11. Councilman Magee suggested that the City Attorney
read the changes into the record.
City Attorney Leibold detailed the proposed changes as follow:
Section II Findings and Purpose - Addition of a recital C - In light of the
current habitat acquisition trends and habitat acquisition requirements
within the boundaries of the City of Lake Elsinore, the MSHCPposes a
risk of excessive land removal from the City's tax base. The City
therefore finds that suitable controls are necessary to buffer this risk while
maintaining an incentive for early habitat acquisition and ensuring that
Lake Elsinore doesn't bear a disproportionate burden and become a
mitigation bank to support development throughout the region.
/""""'
Section III - Application of Regulations - Addition of Paragraph A to
read: "Implementation of the MSHCP and approval of (1) this
Resolution, (2) City Council Resolution 2004-10 makign responsible

Mayor Buckley indicated that the Joint Powers Agreement was already adopted by
the WRCOG Board and a number of other cities with certain changes. He
commented that he was the City representative to WRCOG, but when it came to
the shift of authority, he would ask Councilman Schiffner to sit on the RCA
Board, if he wished. Councilman Schiffner commented that the changes might
not be accepted by others on the Board. Mayor Buckley inquired how to proceed.
City Attorney Leibold indicated that it would be important to make it clear that
the actions were a proviso, that would need to be approved by all members or the
City was not willing execute the agreement and the approval would go away.
/"""'"'
Mayor Buckley moved to approve the Joint Powers Agreement, but questioned the
"one city, one supervisor" issue. City Attorney Leibold noted the earlier
discussion was a proposal under Section 7 .c. for "one member one vote, with each
regular member or alternate having one vote at meetings of the Board", and the
deletion of other voting provisions. Mayor Buckley indicated that would probably
be the only issue.
Councilman Schiffner suggested that the City Attorney read all of the changes.
City Attorney Leibold concurred that should be part of the record, so the only way
to understand the action would be to read it.
Mayor Buckley clarified that ifit was not approved in its entirety, then the
approval would not stick and that might result in future negotiations. He
indicated that he would like to allow RCA to meet the first Monday in February
and have the changes before the RCA Board. He indicated that it they failed to
agree the other three documents would stand, but the agreement would come
back. Councilman Schiffner indicated that he would not support the agreement
under those conditions. City Attorney Leibold clarified that any rejections of the
changes to the JP A would come back to Council for reconsideration, but all items
would not need to be reconsidered. Mayor Buckley noted that the fee ordinance
would be for the first meeting in February. Councilman Schiffner suggested
reading the proposed changes.
/"""'"'
City Attorney Leibold noted that there was a request for a joint exercise of powers
agreement, creating the authority, with changes to the quorum in voting. She
indicated that there was a concern that the agreement as proposed would provide

the County with veto power, so the Council would recommend a change to that
end with the addition of a new paragraph D under Quorum and Voting:
D. Once the lower range of estimated conservation of habitat on
private lands is fulfilled within the City of Lake Elsinore (i.e., upon
MSHCP acquisition of 4,830 acres of private land within the City
of Lake Elsinore), habitat acquisition funds through the HANS
process, imposition of the MSHCP Fee, or funding otherwise
provided through the MSHCP or RCA, shall only be permitted for
acreage acquisition in the City of Lake Elsinore ifboth of the
following are fulfilled: 1) the proposed acquisition and/or funding
is submitted to the Funding Coordination Committee for approval
and the City of Lake Elsinore representative (or majority of
representatives present) votes affirmatively to authorize RCA
approval of the acquisition and/or funding, and; 2) the City of Lake
Elsinore representative to the RCA votes affirmatively to approve
the acquisition and/or funding.
City Attorney Leibold further addressed Section 15 of the Agreement and
suggested the addition of the following verbiage:
"""
The Board shall not appoint more than two County representatives and
shall not appoint committee members in a manner that dilutes any City
representation to less than l/17th of the total representation of the
committee.
And:
Once 75% of the lower range of estimated habitat conservation has been
achieved within the City of Lake Elsinore (3,623 acres), acquisition of
private lands within the County and other participating jurisdictions shall
be prioritized by the Funding Coordination Committee.
City Attorney Leibold suggested that Section 19 regarding Contributions and
Budget be amended to read:
The Parties to this Agreement shall impose a development mitigation fee
on all new development to support the acquisition of additional reserve
lands pursuant to the MSHCP. All development mitigation fees collected

by the Parties shall be forwarded to the RCA within ninety (90) days after
receipt by each Party, subject to any specific exception set forth in the
ordinances implementing the development mitigation fees for the
individual participating cities. The RCA may, in its discretion, conduct an
audit of the development mitigation fees collected by any Party to this
agreement. Likewise, participating cities may, in their discretion, conduct
an audit of the development mitigation fees forwarded to the RCA and
expended by the RCA for property acquisition.
City Attorney Leibold suggested that Section 23 be amended to read:
r'
The RCA shall defend, indemnify and hold such Party free and harmless
from any loss, liability or damage incurred or suffered by such Party by
reason of litigation arising from or as a result of any of the following: the
Party's development mitigation fee ordinance; the Party's participation in
the RCA; actions taken to approve and/or implement the MSHCP; claims
of inverse condemnation or unconstitutional takings against a Party; or any
other act performed or to be performed by the Party pursuant to this
Agreement, the MSHCP, its Implementing Agreement or the Permits;

is consistent wit the business/industrial park theme. He indicated that the buildings include varying
exterior materials and colors such as metal roofing and glazing, varying colors and building heights.

Carl Johnson, 512 Chaney Street, Lake Elsinore, CA indicated that he has issues with Condition No.
44, which discusses that the developer shall construct half-street improvements on Third Street. He
stated that he has issues with this Condition because it is not next to his project, and the other
industrial building, which he believes, is Foamworks did not have to put in the half street.
Chairman LaPere asked if anyone else wished to speak for or against the project.
Patrick Crask, Madison Engineering 109 N. Maple Street, Corona, CA indicated that he is the
Engineering Consultant for the applicant. He concurred with Mr. Johnson that the only issue to the
Conditions of Approval were Condition No. 44.
Chairman LaPere requested any further comments from the Public. There being no further
comments, discussion was brought back to the Commission for comments.
Commissioner Barnes asked City Engineer O'Donnell if Condition No. 44 was an error.
~
City Engineer O'Donnell indicated that Condition No. 44 was not an error, as the Parcel Map that
was in discussion was northeast of the site between their boundaries to Collier Avenue. He
indicated that the applicant is conditioned to improve Third Street, and have signed a Development
Agreement through their Parcel Map. He indicated that they have bonded Third Street, and made
an agreement to improve Third Street with the development of parcel three and five, in phases. He
also indicated that that other developer (Foamworks) has also agreed to improve Third Street, so it
will be completed.
Commissioner Barnes had no further comments.
Commissioner Matthies asked City Engineer O'Donnell that Foamworks has agreed to do their
share on the improvements to Third Street.
City Engineer O'Donnell indicated "yes."
Commissioner Matthies asked City Engineer O'Donnell that Foamworks also agreed to have this
completed during the next phase.
City Engineer O'Donnell stated that it was the intention of the Riverside County Flood Control that
they would put in the construction of the channel, which would save the developers a large sum of
money.
Mr. Johnson stated that he still disagrees with the City Engineer, as he feels that it is not next to his
property, but on the other side of the channel. He indicated that this would cost him about $75,000
and would be difficult to make this work. He had no further comments.
,,--
Vice Chairman Uhlry wanted clarification on the time lines. He asked that if Condition No. 44
remains and the applicant completes his portion of the improvements to Third Street, then would
Foamworks be required to complete their portion of the improvements at the same time.

City Engmeer O'Donnell indicated that Foamworks would complete the improvements to Third
Street when they are working on parcel three, which is the parcel that fronts Collier.
~
Vice Chairman Uhlry stated that he has concerns that the applicant would complete their portion of
the street, and then the remaining portion of the street would not be improved.
City Engmeer O'Donnell suggested that the applicant could bond for it, and then develop the Street
when the other developer does their improvements. He stated that when the applicant comes
forward with the parcel maps, that they could pay for the bonds at that time.
Mr. Johnson asked the Commission as to what are the improvements going to consist of.
City Engmeer O'Donnell stated that the applicant would need to provide curb, gutter, and staggered
streetlights.
Community Development Director Brady stated that it would be required only their side of the
street.
Hap Johnson, an investor with Triple "l" Development indicated that he has concerns with the
future cost of servicing the lights.
Chairman LaPere noted to Mr. Johnson that the City Engmeer and the Community Development
Director would determine cost that would include the sharing of the lighting and would be part of .~
the in-lieu fees.
Commissioner Barnes asked City Engmeer O'Donnell if the Development Agreement addressed
Condition No. 44.
City Engmeer O'Donnell stated that it does not address the riming of the Condition. He stated that
usually the City gives the developer flexibility of the improvements. He stated that it does however
address the required improvements.
Chairman LaPere asked City Engmeer O'Donnell to read Condition No. 44 as modified.
City Engineer O'Donnell stated that the revised Condition would read, 'The developer shall eonstmet ha(f
street improvements on Third Street as part of his development or pqy an in-lieu fee for the eonstmetion of the half-
street improvements.
Mr. Johnson stated that he would like to address Condition No. 53. He asked if the power lines
would need to be placed underground, or can the remain where they are.
City Engineer O'Donnell stated that if they were in the roadway, they would need to be relocated.
He stated that if they were not servicing Mr. Johnson's development, then he would not be
responsible to have them placed underground.

access the garage. The applicant had no further comments.
