appropriate to act on Resolution NO.'93-56.

for, $22,471, 000. City Attorney Harper clarified that - the

that approximately $16.8'million related-to the $12 million
•for the Stadium.

Councilman Alongi thanked the .Amoroso residents for their
cooperation and responded to Mr. Locke and explained that he
makes his mind up when all the information is presented to
Council. He noted that in some of the letters received it was
mentioned that he had done a .full turn in regard to- the
project when low income housing was 'mentioned. Councilman
Alongi stated that there is no low income housing in this
project, so that is not a true statement. He stated that'the
defined ridgeline is not clear and is confused with skyline,
and suggested that there should be a clearer definition. He
further stated that Council, turned down the Lake Terrace
project and he felt that this project should have gone forward
since there were 2200 signatures in favor of the project.. He
stated that the City has the obligation to be a good neighbor
and if that means providing services, he stated that he enjoys
the County's tax dollar as much as anyone else. He explained
to Mr. Locke that this project has been around for about three
years and the project has not been hidden. When a developer
moves on his project, it is the City's responsibility to get
the best project possible. Councilman•Alongi explained that
he feels that the entrance` to the tract should be in writing
to guarantee that the entrance will be separate from the
Amoroso street area. He further explained the Councilfs
obligation to the development of the City and clarified the
LAFCO process.
Councilman Alongi suggested that if the development was at one
home per acre or 644 homes versus as planned for 888 homes,
the.difference would be 244. He questioned if the difference
were split and it were proposed for 764 homes in the•area, if
that would make a difference. He stated that he would make
his decision based on all'the information presented.
Councilman Dominguez explained that the growth of small cities
is a reality and that Lake Elsinore is no- exception." He
further explained that dust caused by construction is
controlled by watering.' Councilman Dominguez stated that the
City makes a major effort' to be a good neighbor, but *the
responsibility of the Council is to the citizens within the
City of Lake Elsinore and their building rights within the
City.
Mayor Washburn explained commented on the information
presented and material provided and stated that he felt staff
overall does a good job.of placing conditions which meet the
circumstances whether it is state or City Laws and gave
examples.
Mayor Washburn asked staff if this project were to go forward
to LAFCO, at what point, would LAFCO require that Brookstone
is annexed. He noted the concern for horses and the interest
of the residents to make sure that the zoning would change to
meet their requirements. He inquired whether the City changes
the codeto meet their needs. -City Planner Leslie explained
that once, the City made a- decision to move ahead then there
would be a prezoning for that area to meet the requirements of
the residents.

approval for turn-outs and, traffic control. Mayor Washburn
asked about the minor wetlands and stated that he would like
to see this handled without affecting the wetlands.
Mayor Washburn.then addressed the fact that the residents of
Brookstone knew that at some time the roadways would continue
up the canyon and he stated that for the residents to say.that
there should be no further traffic on the roadways is not fair
to any land owner next to the property. He stated that he is
concerned with regard to the traffic impact on the.
neighborhoods. Mayor Washburn further stated that he would
like to see a reduction of homes along the ridgeline, if the
project goes forward, without affecting the standing oaks that
are on' the site.
Councilwoman Cherveny again stated her concern with Condition
No. 47 and asked how many trips are generated now on Amorose
and Toft. The engineer for the applicant stated that there
are approximately 45 homes that use Amorose, which would
generate approximately 450 trips a day and there are
approximately 52 homes on Toft and the surrounding areas. that
would generate 520 trips a day... He indicated that those
numbers would be at the terminus of the project and not at the
terminus of Toft and Amorose, which means that the first house
on Toft or the first house on Amorose is going to see 1`0300
trips plus the 450 or 500 going which means 2,000 trips per
day. Councilwoman Cherveny then asked if this 1,300 stated in
the conditions was total on the streets or•additional over the
trips already made. The engineer stated that,they would be in
addition to the existing traffic. Mr. Stephens stated that
the developer is planning to develop his own access to the
tract and the current utilization of public streets will cease
when the other accesses are complete.
There was general discussion regarding ridgelines.
Councilman Alongi concurred with Mayor Washburn -regarding
reduction of housing on the ridgeline.

traffic school' construction. utilities and services
which may be partially mitigated but are
anticipated to remain significant upon development

These impacts are therefore found -to ba'acceptable
'under the General Plan, specifically the provision
of the quality housing opportunities by the City,
the anticipated-, - increase. in .local government
revenues - generated by project residents and the
provision - :-of � - significant infrastructure
improvements all of which are expected to support
local commercial-and industrial development efforts
and generate measurable benefits to- the local
economy and fiscal integrity of City government.
The proposed location of the plan allows the
development. to be well - integrated with its
surroundings.
All vehicular traffic generated by the development,
either in "phased increments or at .full build -out,
will be accommodated safely and without causing
-undue congestion upon adjoining streets.
Except as limited by State law, including SB 1287,
the Specific Plan identifies methodologies to allow
land use to be adequately- serviced by existing or
proposed public facilities -and services.
S. The overall design" of the Specific• Plan will
produce an attractive, efficient and stable
development. ' > --

health,- safety, comfort or general welfare of the
persons residing or working - within the project area
or within the City, nor will it be injurious to

would not, be in support of an ,extension without more
compliance. She expressed particular concern with paving of
walkways,to the school on Summerhill.

has no economic ability to perform the conditions. He
explained that the question is really whether to extend the
map and keep it a saleable item or not extend the map'and have
is raw land which would most likely limit the market for the
property. He indicated that-there was not really a downside
to the extension, as the project might proceed. .

acquiring the property and proceeding with the project. Mr.
Harper indicated that the chance is very good, as there are
interested buyers.
