Richelle Noble, 3537 Pear Blossom Lane, opposed to entry/ exit on Cherry Blossom. Lane. The developer should be required to install storm drains to take water run -off from the new tract out to the main storm drain and reduce the density. The Environmental Impact Report did not adequately address hillside failure or boulder roll - outs, submitted photographs of the proposed site, stating the, developer should be required to have another Environ- mental Study done by a third party to show whether the land can safely support the use. Eric Trygstad, 3401 Apple Blossom Lane;. expressed concern on hillside development and requested the tract.be re- designed or a new Environmental Study prepared. George Thompson, 3635 Cherry Blossom Lane, the proposed gate will be in front of my driveway, expressed concern on the decrease in property values and hillside development with regard to protection for property owners.

She then "4asked Mr. Crowe to.address some of the concerns raised. Mr..Crowe addresses the followingconcerns: . Drainage, explained that it is more desirable to run the water on the surface to Terra Cotta, but if there is a problem with the purchase of the easement then it is planned to place the storm drain system under the street, and-it is conditioned that way. • Entry, explained they are not proposing any changes on any existing streets. Date Street, will not. be used as a point of entry. • Gate,.expliined . the.type ofllock and gate proposed and that it will not be opened i for . any access other than emergency and who will have keys, and; .penalties included in the homeowners agreement!`fif this gate is opened by unauthorized individuals.

The project does have curb and paving. There were no sidewalks proposed, - explaining that sidewalks would -add 10 -12 feet to the width of the road and 18 feet . further out.. that . the. slopes would need to extend at the 1.5 to 1 slopes. Chairwoman Brinley asked,City Planner homeowner association failure and the discussion at the meeting regarding p o Leslie to address the City's recourse, and the ssible condition. AGENDA 1TEh'I No' .11. PAGE /� OF 3l�- Planning Commission May 5, 1993 Page 4 SPECIFIC PLAN 92 -1 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 27223 City Planner Leslie stated that he was unsure if the City has any recourse. The City can attempt to 'take over the maintenance; however, since the streets are private they do not meet City standards and for that reason would not be acceptable to the City for maintenance. Associate Planner De Gange, stated he recalls the Public Services Director commenting on the City's role should the homeowner association fail and there are certain techniques that the City routinely uses in terms of bonding. Associate Planner De Gange informed the Commission that condition number 53 addresses the concern on the pads if graded and left vacant. Chairwoman Brinley asked Engineering Manager O'Donnell to address the street closure. Believes it was discussed that when Mountain was opened -up going on to Terra Cotta that it would be blocked off with a block wall and landscaped and closed off permanently. Mr. Crowe, responded that he was not sure the block wall was discussed. We may choose to remove the drive approaches and install the same type of landscaping that would be on the adjoining slopes rather than the block wall. Engineering Manager O'Donnell stated that the emergency access into the project would look like a�normal driveway approach on both sides, Cherry Blossom and the tract's street,•with the gate on -site. Commissioner Bullard commented on: • Condition number 8, pertaining to slopes. Asked Mr. Crowe whether there was a means of insuring or bonding that property and homeowners in adjacent areas of any financial loss. Bonding during construction a must. Mr. Crowe responded that he did not know. Discussion ensued on bonding; the homeowner association agreement being subject to City approval and include bonding in the agreement, and mechanism to insure future residents added as a, condition. It was the consensus of the Commission to deferred this to the City Attorney for review.. • Condition number 10, no Xeriscape or landscaping. Recommended this condition be amended to include Xeriscape -and landscaping. • Condition number 14, CC & R's for satellite disk in front yard. Recommended the following verbiage be added "street side or visible from line of sight from surrounding neighbors or adequate landscape screening ". • Recommended the following lie added as condition 54, construction equipment shall not use Cherry Blossom Lane and will use Mountain Street ingress /egress only. Construction equipment will only be on Cherry Blossom'Lane'to build the storm drainage system. - • Time lime for installation of storm drainage and the size. AGENDA ITEM NO.

Mr. Crowe stated they are attempting to acquire grading. permission and drainage acceptance easements.. When,, and if, that property develops the City will condition the extension of that roadway at that development; this gives the.land.owner, the.most versatility in order.to develop his property and the City still has the obligation to extent that when the property is developed. Commissioner Wilsey commented on:' -,Hillsides, dislike of the 1.5 ,to 1 slopes -, and why the standard 2 to 1 would be'better'or worse than the 1.5 to l as proposed in the- Specific.Plan.

Whether it is _practical or feasible to landscape the hillsides,, reference the extension of Grand Avenue between Robb Road and Lincoln. - Suggested deletion of the words "on individual lots ",l that would encompass all lots, and.add subject to review and approval by the City's Landscape Architect. Engineering Manager,O'Donnell responded that certain types of vegetation has. to be used,.which will control erosion. • Visibility of rear yards from lower streets, and slopes in .this area. Mr. Crowe detailed the.street and;design, layout. Chairwoman Brinley commented on: • Condition number 17, suggested the following verbiage be added "construction not to startibefore.7:00 a.m. and cease at 5:010 p.m., Monday through Fri'da'y ".. • The safest way to close permanently,.

Mr. Crowe stated that right now, the proposal is to remove the driveways and includes removing the depressions and putting standard curb on' both streets. It would be the same configure tion on Apple /Cherry Blossom and straight curb through on Mountain. Chairwoman Brinley suggested that condition number 51 be amended to reflect a cul -de -sac and landscaping if required. Commissioner Wilsey asked what can be done to lessen the impacts on this community with regard to the cul -de -sac and the emergency access. Discussion ensued on alternatives to less the impacts and landscaping as a viable alternative.

CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: KEVIN SHEAR, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER FOR: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF MAY 5, 1993 SUBJECT: SPECIFIC PLAN 92 -1 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 27223 (CAPE OF GOOD HOPE) FRIENDLY GROUP 7 / K.S. CHEN (DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE AT THE MARCH 3, 1993 MEETING) FiT-q4T@1A4 A request to approve the Cape of Good Hope Specific Plan (SP 92 -1) and, the subdivision of the site's 40 acres into 67 custom single - family residential lots ranging in size from 7,200 to 23,250 and with an average,of 13,978 square feet (TTM 27223). BACKGROUND At its March 3, 1993 meeting the Planning Commission denied without prejudice the above referenced project (minutes and staff report attached). The denial of this project was based on the following concerns expressed by neighboring residents and the Planning Commission: • The project as proposed would be a private /gated. community. This concept was looked at unfavorably.. • The project proposed to utilize existing streets (Apple Blossom and Cherry Blossom) for access into the tract. The concern was that traffic within the existing tract would be increased. • Concerns with respect to soil stability were expressed due to the project's proximity to existing residences and its proposed 1.5 to 1 slopes. • Currently drainage from the project site comes from up slope via natural channels. During periods of heavy rain Apple Blossom and Cherry Blossom are inundated with water and mud from up slope. A concern was raised that .development of this project would increase and /or concentrate this runoff exacerbating the existing problem. • When the project initially went to hearing many residents felt they were not properly notified. • A concern . was raised that potentially the project could be graded and left undeveloped. This would be aesthetically displeasing and would increase erosion. • There are no existing parks within the general vicinity of this project. The addition of 67 lots in this area would increase the demand for parks. In order to address these concerns a special committee of neighborhood residents was formed to meet with members of the Planning Commission and the applicant. Two meetings were held for this purpose (March 11th and April 13th). At these meetings the applicant attempted to either answer or address these concerns with modifications to the project. The following modifications have been made: 1) The project is no longer proposed as a private gated community. AGENDA ITEM NO. PAGE OFfL.—,,�, Public Hearing SP 92 -1 and TTM 27223 May 5, 1993 Page 2 2) The access point on Apple /Cherry Blossom has been modified to a temporary access gate for emergency vehicle use only. The proj'ect's main through. street which is the extension of Mountain will be stubbed at the project boundary. Mountain will.be extended through the adjacent property so that it eventually outlets to Terra Cotta when this property is developed. At that time the temporary emergency vehicle access point and gate. will be removed. 3) The drainage from the portion of the project up slope from Mountain will be- directed down Mountain and eventually to Terra Cotta provided off -site drainage easements can be obtained. If these easements cannot be obtained the drainage will be directed _through a storm drain system running beneath!Cherry Blossom. 4) The' applicant has supplied an updated .300<foot radius mailing label `list. NVIRONME The project has been reviewed pursuant to! the, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been found'not to have any significant impact on the environment or that any impacts will be mitigated. Subsequently, Mitigated Negative Declaration 92 -1 has been prepared. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Planning Commission: _. t, Recommend to City Council adoption of Mitigated Negative Declaration 92 -1; Recommend to the City Council.approval : of Specific.Plan 92 -1 adopt Resolution No. 93 -4; and �t Recommend to the City Council approval of Tentative Tract Map 27223 based on the following Findings and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval., FINDINGS - SPECIFIC PLAN 92 -1 1. The Cape of Good Hope Specific Plan meets the City's Specific Plan criteria for content and required implementation of the General Plan established by Section 65450 of the California Government Code and Section 17.99 of the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. 2. Development regulations provided in the City Zoning Code shall apply, unless specified in the Cape of Good Hope Specific Plan. Approval of the Specific Plan shall not be interpreted as waiving compliance with other provisions of the Lake Elsinore City Code, except in those areas where the Specific Plan expressly regulates a use. 3. This request will comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Mitigated Negative Declaration 92 -1 has been prepared with the finding that this project will not have any adverse impacts on the environment or that any impacts will be adequately mitigated.- AGENDA ITEM NO. PAGE OF Public Hearing SP 92 -1 and TTM 27223 May 5, 1993 Page 3 FINDINGS - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 27223 1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed subdivision is compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan. (Government Code Section 66473.5) 2. The effects this project is likely to have upon the housing needs of the region and the needs against the public service of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources have been considered and are balanced. 3. The design of the subdivision provides to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision. (Governmental Code Section 66412.3) 4. Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) has determined that the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system will not result in a violation of the requirements as set out in Section 13000 et seq. of the California Water Code (Government Code Section 66474.6).

Chairwoman Brinley referred to the written communication (fax) dated March 3, 1993, from Bowie, Arneson, Kadi, Wiles & Giannone, law firm representing the Lake Elsinore Unified School District, - requesting the project be conditioned to require the applicant and the District to enter into a mitigation agreement prior to approval of the project by City Council. Chairwoman Brinley opened the public hearing'at 8:00 p.m., asking for anyone wishing to speak in favor. Mr. "Fred Crowe, The Keith Companies, representing the applicant, stated their firm prepared the Specific Plan document and the tentative map. He stated the guidelines and recommendations contained within the document will establish this as a showcase type of development, and that concerns have been adequately addressed and mitigated. He then stated that they are in agreement with the Staff Report and will answer any questions that may arise. Chairwoman Brinley asked for anyone else wishing to speak in favor. Receiving no response, she asked for those opposed.

Receiving no response, she asked for anyone wishing to speak on the matter. Receiving no response, the public hearing was closed at 8:15 p.m. Mr. Crowe asked to respond to some of the concerns raised. The main gate was planned for Mountain and the gate at Cherry Blossom was intended for a card gate only, and used only by the residents. We do have a need for traffic circulation, so potentially it might be worked out where that gate would only be used for emergency vehicles. There may be other ways to minimize or eliminate excess traffic on those streets. Commissioner Bullard suggested the items be continued, due.to the opposition raised and the conflict in the paperwork pertaining to applicant's contact with the residents. Believes there could be an option for egress over to Terra Cotta instead of Cherry Blossom. Chairwoman Brinley detailed the notification process, and commented on the issues of a gated community and the dislike of a gated community within a community. Agrees with a continuance at this time, and asked for the consensus of the Commission on whether this should be continued to April 7, allowing staff, the developer and a couple of representatives from the neighborhood to work together to resolve the issues. Commissioner Gilenson stated that a continuance to April 7, is an insufficient period of time, in that the Mitigated Negative Declaration is not adequate, and would not support a gated community under any circumstance. Commissioner Wilsey stated that he would like this opened for discussion, because direction needs to be given to staff, the applicant and the community. Build up a reservoir of questions that can be addressed, establish a committee and schedule meetings. Commissioner Gilenson commented as follows: Feels the Mitigated Negative Declaration is inadequate. Agrees with the School District's letter. Insufficient street circulation, against a gated community - -if Commission and Council wants a gated community it should have its own ingress /egress. AGENDA ITEM NO.—.13 PAMjay OF Planning Commission Minutes March 3, 1993 Page 6 SPECIFIC PLAN 92 -1. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 27223 CONTINUED Commissioner Neff commented on: • Grading concept,. whether blasting would occur there if run into rock, at a certain depth. There needs to be some mitigation and discussion: • Not in opposition to a gated community, but it seems odd to have a secondary access which terminates in an existing residential neighborhood., • Economics of project, given the steep hillsides. Concerned about erosion control and landscaping because of its visibility. • Mr. Crowe's suggestion to lock off that one gate, except for emergency services, and investigation of an alternative access to Terra Cotta. • Whether the open space in the project could be dedicated to the City and unsure if this could be used for park facilities. • Responsibilities of the HOA and the City as it relates to landscaping and maintenance, and the condition that some -of those landscaped areas be conveyed to the City. • Applicant's willingness to meet with representatives from the neighborhood and work out'some-of the issues. Commissioner Wilsey commented on: • Deviations from minimums in grading, Specific Plan lists grading 1.5:1 and our minimums are 2:1. Not interested in anything that deviates from our minimum. • Cherry Blossom area, those streets were never designed to be through streets - -they meander through that tract and are not meant to -be a thoroughfare street. Not interested in seeing a secondary ingress /egress into that ,project through that area. Asked staff to provide the distance from the applicant's property line to Terra Cotta. Mr. De Gange responded that this distance is approxi- mately 600 feet. • Notification. • Letter indicating communication with neighboring residents. • Questions on the environmental documentation prepared and the need to meet and review closely. • Inquired why a Specific Plan was submitted, why not a Tentative Tract Map with a Hillside Overlay? The design, landscape, building criteria and trade -off amenities for a Specific Plan is missing from this document. Commissioner Bullard commented on the need for additional communication with the other. citizens involved and the affects upon this area, and moved to continue Specific Plan 92 -1 and Tentative Tract Map 27223. Motion died for lack of a second. AGENDA ITEM �✓ NO. D-� PAGE OF L� Planning Commission Minutes March 3, 1993 Page 7 SPECIFIC PLAN 92 -1 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 27223 CONTINUED Commissioner Gilenson.stated a few of the Commissioners have expressed a desire to discuss this with the residents, applicant and staff. The problem is that the public hearing has been opened and closed and we cannot meet outside a public hearing. The only way would be through a published or a continued opened meeting, or if the developer wishes to withdraw the project and resubmit. Discussion ensued on alternative actions available to the Commission. Chairwoman Brinley suggested that a committee be formed and the area residents select representatives to serve on this committee and work with staff and the applicant to resolve the issues. She then commented, as follows: • Concerns are the same as raised by the other Commissioners. • The park issue needs to be addressed. " • Dislike of a gated community within a community, as it causes problems. • Ingress /egress situation has to be addressed. • Erosion control needs to be addressed. Discussion ensued on whether to continue; ask the applicant.to withdraw and resubmit; the procedure for resubmittal, and deny without prejudice. Mr. Crowe stated they have been working on this for years and would like to relay these concerns to the owner. He then requested that a staff member be assigned as project manager, enabling the neighbors and myself to contact an individual to set -up regular or neighborhood meetings. Chairwoman Brinley responded that Mr. De Gangs would be the contact person, as he is the Planner handling,this proposal. City Planner Christen suggested a contact person from the neighborhood.be appointed, and the City would then set -up the meetings. Chairwoman Brinley asked that Joann Siminoff be the contact person for the neighborhood area, along with the selection of two other representatives. She informed Ms. Siminoff that it would be their responsibility to keep the residents abreast of conversations and meetings with staff and the developer. Commissioner Gilenson commented on the past problems where the Commission was cut out because the public hearing had been opened and it went back to staff, as the. liaison, the homeowners and developers and eventually the project was scrapped. MOVED BY COMMISSIONER GILENSON TO DENY WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL THAT IF THE PROJECT IS,BROUGHT BACK THAT THE FEES BE WAIVED. Chairwoman Brinley asked for discussion, stating that the Tee Pee Ranch was a different story, as the property had been sold a number of times between the meetings and negotiations.

Chairwoman Brinley stated the motion is to deny without malice and the applicant has to resubmit. Discussion ensued on the motion, deny without prejudice, which enables the applicant to resubmit and the City's operation under the Cost Recovery Program. Commissioner Neff inquired whether this reserves the right for_ another public hearing in the future. Commissioner Gilenson responded that`it reserves the right for discussions individually or collectively with both the_: residents and developer. Commissioner Neff asked if it was not another alternative to re -open the public hearing and then continue the public hearing.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING PROJECT DESCRIPTION Specific Plan 92 -1: The Cape of Good Hope Specific Plan establishes design guidelines for the entire 40 acre project site. These guidelines will implement standards for the development of this private /gated hillside community and are designed to promote architectural consistency, require efficient hillside development techniques by minimizing grading, and minimize impacts to the surrounding natural environment through the preservation of 18.5 acres of open space.

As proposed these lots range in size from'7200 to 23,250 square -feet with an average of approximately 9,300 square feet. Being that this project is a proposal staff has required that not only (manufactured slopes) be indicated on delineating the construction _limit provided. r -KiAkjlu Specific Plan 92 -1: for hillside development, the extent of grading the map but also the line (building envelopes). be The Cape of Good Hope Specific Plan adequately implements guidelines and design standards, to ensure consistent architectural design, efficient hillside development techniques, and reduced impacts to the surrounding natural environment. Tentative Tract Mao 27223: This subdivision meets all requirements for minimum lot area, average lot sizes and frontage widths. Lot sizes and configuration are consistent with the adjacent existing subdivision patterns to the south and west. SPECIAL PROJECT CONCERNS (For SP 92 -1 and TTM 27223) A number-of issues.associated with this project pose some concern. The most significant of these issues are listed and discussed as follows: 1. Impacts To Existing Residential Developments s Upon the initial submittal of this document staff relayed concerns to the applicant that the existing neighboring residences could potentially be opposed to having a private gated community significantly higher in elevation adjacent to their development. Subsequently the applicant was instructed to solicit: responses from the neighboring property owners, with respect to the proposed project.. The applicant, however, reported no negative responses from the neighboring development. 2. Design Standards In order to insure that each of ".the "custom lots within this subdivision are built with a consistent architectural. theme. TTM,.27223 has been conditioned to include a design manual which outlines the basic criteria for architectural design. Condition 28 discusses what should be :included within the, design manual. 3. Manufactured Slopes within various areas of the project site, manufactured slopes at 1.5:1 are proposed. This exceeds the City's minimum - standard of 2:1. Condition of Approval number 8 requires all slopes greater than 2:1 to be accompanied by a geotechnical report certifying their stability. AGENDA ITEM NO. PAGE R OF `-7 Public Hearing SP 92 -1 and TTM 27223 March 3, 1993 Page 3 2. Private Street /Gated Community Concept This project proposes to be a gated private community with privately owned streets. A Homeowner's Association must be established in order to oversee the maintenance of these private streets. In addition, all conditions imposed by the Riverside County Fire Department addressing gated communities must be met. 3. Traffic Impacts To Existing Streets As proposed, TTM 27223 will take access from Cherry Blossom/ Apple Blossom Lane, which is an existing right -of -way within an existing single - family subdivision. Build out of TTM 27223 will increase the daily traffic trips through this existing subdivision by 150 vehicles. ENVIRONMENTAL The project has been reviewed pursuant -to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been found not to have any significant impact on the environment or that any impacts will be mitigated. Subsequently, Mitigated Negative Declaration 92 -1 has been prepared. It is recommended that Planning Commission: Recommend to City Council adoption of Mitigated Negative Declaration 92 -1; Recommend to the City Council approval of Specific .Plan 92 -1 adopt Resolution No. 93 -2 ; and Recommend to the City Council approval of Tentative Tract Map 27223 based on the following Findings and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval. FINDINGS - SPECIFIC PLAN 92 -1 1.

OF ` ® THE KEITH COMPANIES - BUTTERFIELD, INC. April 28, 1993 TO: HOMEOWNERS ADJACENT TO PROPOSED TENTATIVE TRACT 27223, BETWEEN MOUNTAIN STREET AND CHERRY BLOSSOM LANE The developer, city staff, and The Keith Companies have been sensitive to and have seriously considered your concerns regarding this project. The project is conditioned to mitigate your concerns as best we know how. We will try to respond to your concerns as we understand them. The developer wanted a Specific Plan for several reasons and some of those are stated in the document, Section 3.1, etc. In general, the concept is to create a residential development which is sensitive to its hillside setting. Also, it was recognized that the terrain is similar to the Country Club Heights area (the hill areas immediately southeasterly of the lake. The city has already designated the Country Club Height's area of the future Specific Plan as areas J and K in their General Plan, realizing the need to have different development guidelines in this type of terrain. The density and lot size of the project is consistent with the city's R -1 zone. The housing units are clustered or arranged on the lots differently to minimize slope grading. After meeting with city staff and to address the concerns of the adjoining homeowners, it is my understanding that the city will condition the project to build Mountain Avenue to the easterly tract boundary at this time and the owner of the land to Terra Cotta Road will be required to provide Mountain Street access to Terra Cotta Road when his property is developed (this provides that owner with the most design flexibility for his property). There will be a locked temporary emergency gate (only emergency services having keys) to Cherry Blossom Lane that will be removed and the access drive permanently closed to Cherry Blossom Lane when Mountain is extended to Terra Cotta. With regard to the drainage of this project, it is planned to allow less flows to enter Cherry Blossom and Apple Blossom Lanes than do so now. Other flows will be routed easterly toward Terra Cotta Road. The developer has conceded to not place a gate on Mountain Street at the main entrance. This was requested by some planning commissioners and neighbors.' The streets are still proposed to be private and we believe their design is best for this property and will not harm, but be attractive to, the neighbors. 9312303984m ..

Zeiser believes.;:,the soil is stable. The geotechnical firm must monitor the grading operation on a day -to -day basis during construction and make appropriate recommendations as the project is.built. , Also, the city will condition the project for'' the soils engineer "s certification for the construction phase of development. The city'' Will, also' require:`the grading .contractor to'.be licensed and bonded, so that if damage results to adjacent property`, because of construction methods used ,or lack of dust control, there will'be .recourse. The city has also indicated they will require. bonding at time of grading permit for landscaping and maintenance of graded slopes during the time between grading and` occupancy of the homes. There will be a continuous monitoring effort by the developer, the city, and the private engineers as plans are prepared, and during construction to ensure a quality product without harm or damage to neighboring properties'. Some of ' the neighbors in the . area, stated their desire , to have a playground build on Spruce Street. The developer does not feel it would be convenient for his buyers to get to, and 'ethat the buyers would not want to pay for the maintenance. The developer proposes to pay park fees to the city. The city also has a policy of discouraging parks less than 10 !acres in size in their system. The developer would like to have a park in the area for his buyers to be able to use. A site somewhere along Terra Cotta'would be convenient' for most homeowners in the future.._ With regard to noise, I an not aware of any sound barriers that would be effective on this type of terrain. However, . the controlling of speed and restricting of through traffic would yield a reduction in sound created. We hope this alleviates your concerns with respect this project. Sincerely, il Fred W.

Absent the inclusion of such a condition, the District would oppose the approval of the Project.
