PRESENTATION/CEREMONIALS
(2) Mayor Hickman introduced Bruce McMeans from Broken Arts and presented him
with a Certificate of Recognition for teaching school children the value of arts in
public places by including their ceramic creations in the River Walk Mosaic
Project.
Bruce McMeans informed Council and the public about the community art project that
was conceived and designed to involve as many people in the community as possible.
He explained the two phases: first they are working with local children in the schools
after school program and with the Elsinore Valley Arts Network. The children are
making little plants and animals from clay and once the children's artwork has been
glazed and fired, they will hold family work days to install the artwork in the River Walk
extension which is due to begin next year and be completed in the spring. The artwork
would be installed mosaic style on the trash cans, benches, and possibly sign posts.
He presented a demonstration board with an example of what the mosaic will look like
when completed. They have received a Lot of support and have involved 400 to 450
kids in the program. He advised the audience of the locations where they would be
making the ceramic pieces over the next few weeks.
Mayor Hickman gave a brief overview of what the River Walk project was and likened it
to the River Walk in San Antonio, Texas.
Ron Hewison with HOPE provided a quarterly report to Council indicating HOPE is a
volunteer organization, created in 1992 and cover the entire Lake Elsinore Unified
School District area and also extend into Quail Lake. The last three years have been
pretty hectic due to the economy and due to the expansion of the programs they offer.
Originally, they were giving up to three days of food now they are giving 12 days of
food. Originally they were senior driven and while now they are still serving seniors they
are also delivering to shut-ins. In 2005-06 they delivered over 62,000 meals, the
following year they provided 104,000 and this past year, 225,000 meals. Hope served
76,000 meals during the quarter that just ended which means they will serve over
300,000 meals this year. Mr. Hewison informed Council on their method of verifying
income of their clients to insure their services are reaching those most in need. He also
advised council that their ministry continues to grow and expand with new referrals each
day and several new programs they are adding to the ministry this year. Mr. Hewison
stated that volunteers are always needed and the need for more food drives.
PUBLIC COMMENTS -NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS -1 MINUTE
Mary Bredlau ad dressed Council on behalf of the Country Club Heights Citizen's
Committee and applauded Councilman Magee for returning what might appear to be a
questionable campaign donation.
Pete Dawson addressed Council regarding the two November events; the observance
of the Veteran's Day at the Grand Prix on November 9t". Along with that, the Veteran's
Day observance will be presented in the afternoon just prior to the Mayor's hundred mile
race and is presented by the Lake Elsinore Citizen's Committee, VFW and the
American Legion. The second event is the Unity in the Community Parade on
November 22nd on Main Street at 10:00 a.m. He recommended everyone go to these
2
events. At the request of the Mayor Mr. Dawson announced that he, along with two
other team members were sent by the United States Coast Guard, District 11 to Cape
Main, New Jersey to compete in a national search and rescue competition. His team
won second place. First place was a group from San Francisco. The west coast took
the entire event nationally.
James Fenner addressed council on behalf of several concerned citizens regarding the
number of parking citations being issued on street sweeping days. He was also
concerned about receiving a citation for dog barking and not having a dog license when
his dog doesn't even go outside. He felt is was important to inform the City Council of
the concern he and his neighbors had and hoped that the Council would be a little more
family-friendly about parking one's car on the street in front of one's own home.
Mayor Hickman suggested Mr. Fenner discuss this matter with the City Manager.
Daniel Uhlry asked when U.S. 395 went through Lake Elsinore. He said Highways 71
and 74 went through Lake Elsinore but he could not find where U.S. 395 went through.
He indicated Highway 71 connected to U.S. 395 this side of Murrieta which was called
Copper's Corner so to his knowledge U.S. 395 did not go through Lake Elsinore.
Councilman Magee advised that there was a display inside city hall that gives the entire
chronology of U.S. 395 and its route throughout the entire state and suggested Mr.
r Uhlry visit the display to get the answers to his questions.

Recommendations:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2008-87 adopting Findings of Consistency with the
Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2008-88 adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration No.
-I 2008-07 and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program appertaining

3. Adopt Resolution No. 2008-89 approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 36066.
4. Adopt Resolution No. 2008-90 approving Commercial Design Review No.
2008-01.
Mayor Hickman opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m.
Acting Community Development Director Weiner advised that this was a request to
approve a new 98,000 square foot commercial center located on Greenwald Avenue
directly adjacent to the Canyon Lake City limits outside the Canyon Lake's north gate.
The center is 14 acres in size consisting of five parcels which will contain office, retail
and other commercial uses. The Planning Commission approved recommendation of
the project to the City Council. The City Council will be considering the Tentative Parcel
Map the Commercial Design Review and the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The
Conditional Use Permit has already been approved by the Planning Commission.
Planning and Engineering staff spent time with residents of Canyon Lake during the
entitlement process to discuss various issues that representatives of Canyon Lake had
and most things were taken care of, however, as Council is aware the trail is still an
issue. The applicant is in attendance and staff is available to answer any questions.
5
Gary Andre, Trail Commissioner for Riverside County addressed Council advising that
he was almost done with all of the maps for Riverside County for the first district except
~ one area going into Canyon Lake from Lake Elsinore. He has met with Canyon Lake,
the developer and staff and they felt the best thing to do is to put a stop sign at the main
entrance. He would prefer to see the trail go further west than across Summerhill but
there is only a 10 foot easement on the south side of the road. He advised Council of
some of the safety features they discussed but decided on a signal with equestrian
cross buttons going across the gate at Canyon Lake.
Beverly Miller, a resident of Canyon Lake addressed Council regarding the trail access
for horses and people. She understood the creek behind her property was going to
remain and she requested consideration of a multi-use trail for bike riding, horses and
pedestrians along the creek area.
Randy Felber, a resident of Canyon Lake advised that quite a few people use the trail
system. He concurred with Ms. Miller's idea of a trail system along the riverbed and felt
the project would be really nice when it was complete.
Brenda Yanoschik a resident of Murrieta who owns an equestrian center in Canyon
Lake asked Council and the developer to consider amulti-use trail along the Blue Line
Creek. She advised that there was a comparable development in Murrieta on Murrieta
Hot Springs Road that includes what the Canyon Lake residents hope will be used in
this project. She felt that a stop light to control the traffic in and out of the shopping
center will satisfy amulti-use trail and the concerns about slowing traffic.
Paul Johnson, Operations Manager for the Canyon Lake POA wanted to confirm that
the City Council had received their letter regarding the POA's concern that the City did
not complete a full Environmental Impact Report on this project.
City Attorney Leibold advised that the City did receive a letter from the POA's legal
counsel dated October 27, 2008 which has been officially entered into the record and
distributed to the City Council.
Lynn Mattocks, Chairman of the Riverside County Trails Committee addressed Council
stating his opinion that the proposed trail on the east side of this project is totally absurd
and very dangerous. He suggested moving the trail to the west side and utilize the BLM
property to cross, install an equestrian button on the signal light, and follow the trail
along the blue line which will provide the connectivity to the trails throughout the entire
southwest Riverside County region, which is what is desired by the County of Riverside.
He recommended the trail be moved for safety purposes. He indicated he discussed
this with the developers and they seemed to be in agreement with him. He also stated
that the trail should not be for both golf carts and horses.
Ed Sauls, of Greenwald LLC advised Council the project is recommended by staff
unanimously recommended by the Planning Commission and recommended by the City
of Canyon Lake but Canyon Lake Property Owners Association has a particular concern
6
_ regarding the equestrian trail. He advised there are at least four alternatives to consider
and they have worked very closely with staff and tried diligently to come up with
solutions before presenting this to Council, however, they have been unsuccessful. He
stated that they believe staffs recommendation is a viable alternative. He believes that
staff has examined all of the alternatives and found that staffs recommendation is the
most acceptable, safest and least impacting alternative.
He advised Council of the various alternatives that were considered and the issues with
each of those alternatives. Mr. Sauls said they are open to any of the alternatives but
reiterated that he agreed with staffs recommendation that among all of the alternatives
staffs recommendation was the safest.
Councilman Magee asked the City Attorney what obligation requires the builder to
provide equestrian access across this site.
City Attorney Leibold responded that to the extent that the City participates in this trail
system then a requirement to connect the trails would be a standard condition of
approval. Director Weiner concurred with the City Attorney and stated staffs main
concern was that there was some type of access beyond the shopping center to the
BLM area. The developer indicated they found this to be palatable and staff felt a multi-
purpose trail would be appropriate and the applicant included that into the site plan.
Mr. Sauls indicated that providing the trail is an accommodation not necessarily a
requirement because the adopted County Trails Map provides for trails interior to
~ Canyon Lake and does not include a trail through this property.
Mr. Weiner confirmed that the only obligation that exists as far as staff is concerned is
the easement held by several property owners north of the project area that require
access, but it is debatable as to whether that access be for horses.
Councilman Magee confirmed his understanding of the issue before Council and he felt
it important for the citizens to know that the Canyon Lake Property Owners Association
provided to the City a letter that is in essence a threat of litigation challenging city staffs
environmental work because staff only prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration as
opposed to preparing a full Environmental Impact Report. Councilman Magee
questioned whether the City of Canyon Lake would be willing to pay to help facilitate
this trail system which would benefit their residents.
John Zaitz, Mayor Pro Tem of the City of Canyon Lake addressed Council referring to
Exhibit E of the document provided to Council from the POA, which is a portion of the
City of Lake Elsinore's General Plan. He felt the trail system is a benefit to the County
and that it is a way to connect the BLM lands to north with the BLM lands to the south.
He did not think it was their responsibility to contribute to the cost of a trail that is going
to be a County benefit as well as to the people of the City of Canyon Lake who happen
,' to be members of the County. He stated that all they are asking for is to have an EIR
~~ prepared that determines the best way to handle the trail system.
7
~ A lengthy discussion continued between the City Council, staff and Mayor Pro Tem
~ Zaitz as to where the crossing should be, where the City of Canyon Lake feels the
safest location of the crossing would be and who would have entitlement to use the
crossing.
Director Seumalo confirmed for Mayor Pro Tem Kelley that staff was recommending
that the trail remain on the eastern side of the project and would prefer the
recommendation of Canyon Lake tentative trails map that shows the trail going from the
equestrian center internal to Canyon Lake and come out the guard gate on the north
side, at the top of Greenwald and then make a right turri onto the trail system. Further
explanation was made by Mr. Zaitz as to where the crossing currently was and the
differences of staffs recommendation.
Mr. Sauls indicated the developer was willing to facilitate City of Canyon Lake with the
costs of an interior solution including speed bumps, or stop signs. He further
recommends providing a trail on the eastern boundary and they would be willing to add
to the intersection at Summerhill and Greenwald as part of the signal costs a button for
equestrian crossing resulting in having two trails. That would be the best possible
accommodations.
Councilman Schiffner expressed his desire to move ahead with the design review
placing the trail where it is presently located and if the developer is willing to satisfy that
~ location and let Canyon Lake decide how they are going to get across that intersection
~ because he did not want to get involved in a signalization and take on that liability.
There being no other speakers, Mayor Hickman closed the public hearing at 8:27 p.m.
Councilman Schiffner moved to adopt Resolution No. 2008-87 adopting Findings of

Convenience and Necessity request.
Attorney Leibold advised there was a request to continue this item.
Cynthia Reynoso addressed Council in opposition to the location of a
liquor/convenience store immediately adjacent to the Viscaya community. She
indicated there are already six establishments, three bars and two restaurants who
already sell alcohol. She did not feel that another liquor establishment was necessary.
Mary Lou Veytia, Vice President of the Viscaya Home Owners Association expressed
the HOA's opposition to the establishment of another liquor store in their area. She
indicated they have several pictures depicting the sidewalks littered with empty liquor
bottles and have had issues with people being passed out on the sidewalks as well as
i having several calls made to the Police Department for drunk and lewd behavior. They
felt they are overly saturated with liquor stores.
Councilman Magee stated that he met with the applicant because of the problems being
experienced by the residents of the Viscaya community. He confirmed with the owner
that the establishment had not met with the Home Owners Association to resolve the
issues and suggested they continue the appeal until they have met with the
homeowners to resolve the concerns and issues addressed by the Homeowners
Association.

Candy on Friday, downtown; Grand Prix next weekend; reminded everyone to vote at
the election on Tuesday; bids on the animal shelter were opened and are under review
for full compliance. The low bid came in 20% lower than the Engineer's estimate which

$70,000.00 to $90,000.00 a year.
Councilmember Magee commented on the following:
Announced that all pets need to be licensed and properly vaccinated within the city
