He noted the project's location. He stated the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. 7 Mike Matthews, of lake Elsinore, thanked City staff for their help to try and mitigate the health and safety problems in his neighborhood. He noted since 2001, the altering of the natural topography and the construction of medium and high-density housing east of the 1-15 on Highway 74, there had been excessive water run off. He indicated the residents of the area were concerned the continuous run off would make its way into their property. He noted many of the residents in his neighborhood had been suffering from excessive mosquito bites and rashes. He stated he had contacted many County and City officials in an attempt to have the issues resolved. He asked for Council's support and understanding with the issues he presented. Mary Venerable, of lake Elsinore, inquired why the project was being discussed ahead of the Third Street annexation project. She noted her concern was in regard to road conditions. She commented it was her hope that further study be done before Council approved the item. Bernard Rockwood, of Lake Elsinore, noted that he lived in the area of the annexation. He commented he had hoped the developer would address the drainage problems. He stated he would like the area kept as horse property. Mayor Magee directed staff to address the issues presented. Community Development Director Preisendanz deferred to Kristine Zortman of the Shopoff Group. Kristine Zortman, Shopoff Group, responded based upon the CEQA document, the project was conditioned to provide mitigation measures for off-site traffic and drainage improvements. She noted there would be paving that would occur. She indicated all of their drainage would be taken care of onsite. Mayor Magee inquired if the City had a current builder and/or current developed project that was currently taking nuisance water offside and in turn inappropriately impacting the resident's property. Public Works Director Seumalo stated technically the answer would be no. He noted there were some irrigation issues they had identified with Fairfield and some gaps in the drainage that were not constructed appropriately to take care of the drainage. He noted there were issues that needed to be developed, but he felt that the system was not inappropriate. Councilmember Schiffner inquired if the development of the property would handle existing drainage issues. Public Works Director Seumalo indicated it was his belief the drainage would be vastly improved. 8 Councilmember Kelley inquired when the drainage issue from Fairfield would be handled. Public Works Director Seumalo responded he met initially with Centex Homes and spoke to their hydrologist and their engineer to identify potential issues. He indicated they had identified potential issues. Councilmember Kelley inquired about traffic in the project area. Public Works Director Seumalo stated the project in question had a traffic study conducted and Conditions of Approval had been developed that would pave specified surrounding roadways. Mayor Pro Tem Hickman inquired if most of the issues brought to the Council's attention were happening in the County. Public Works Director Seumalo confirmed. Mayor Pro Tem Hickman inquired if it would benefit the County homeowners to join the City. Mike Matthews indicated water from the Fairfield development and people washing their cars and doing other personal business was causing water to run off into their neighborhoods. Mayor Pro Tem Hickman inquired what could be done about the water run off. Public Works Director Seumalo responded the water in the street where Mr. Matthews lived comes from State Route 74. He noted the water in the street was being diverted onto Allan Street. He commented he was working with Caltrans to re-divert the water back on to State Route 74 and take it down Central Avenue. Mary Venerable noted she was aware of what Caltrans put the people through when the Albertson's Market was developed. She stated she would like to know if there was any way she could find out what was being planned for traffic flow in her area. She noted her concern with Third Street becoming the shortcut to avoid the signal at Dexter Avenue. Councilmember Buckley stated the Fairfield issue would need to be fixed. He inquired if there were many lots that were below 5,000 square feet. Community Development Director Preisendanz indicated there were approximately 10 lots below 5,000 square feet. He noted the average lot size was 5,900 square feet. 9 Kristine Zortman noted there were 27 lots below 5,000 square feet. She stated the lots ranged from 4,600 square feet up to 4,999 square feet. Councilmember Buckley indicated that with the elimination of five lots, the land could be re-distributed to the surrounding lots. He inquired if the applicant would be interested in eliminating Lot Nos. 20, 29, 37, 79 and 87. Kristine Zortman stated that before she could answer yes or no to that question, she wanted to point out that what they tried to do was create three different affordable niches for future residents in the community. She noted that it segmented them from a 6,000, 5,000 and 4,600 square foot lot and provided different sales prices for future home owners. She commented by decreasing some of the lot sizes, they were able to gain over five acres of park in the area. She indicated if they lost some of their lots, there would be a discussion in regard to decreasing the park size. She noted she did not believe they would be looking to change the segmentation of the project itself based upon the vision of where they were currently. Mayor Magee commented that Fairfield Homes was in front of the Council a few months prior asking for relief on a traffic related situation. He noted he would not be in favor of granting that relief based on what he had heard. He noted that Fairfield Homes needed to be dealt with and the issue needed to be corrected. He inquired if Supervisor Buster's office was of any help with the situation. Public Works Director Seumalo indicated that Supervisor Buster had not been involved. He noted staff had been working with Riverside County Flood Control. Mayor Magee stated the issue needed to be corrected. Mayor Magee commented on the lot size for Tentative Tract Map No. 35422. He noted he could not support the lot size. He explained he understood their desire to create a different market type, but he felt it was headed in the wrong direction. He noted he felt the lot sizes in the area should be 10,000 square feet to 12,000 square feet. Community Development Director Preisendanz noted the proposal was consistent with the Ramsgate Specific Plan and the future General Plan. Mayor Pro Tem Hickman indicated he supported the item. Mayor Pro Tem Hickman inquired on the timeframe for the project. Kristine Zortman responded the project was linked to the General Plan Update/EIR that the City was processing. She noted if everything went accordingly, grading would most likely happen in the 4th quarter of 2008 or the 1st quarter of 2009. 10 Councilmember Kelley noted she had an opportunity to look at the designs of the homes and the designs were compatible with the General Plan. She commented that the homes had distinctive features and she felt they were quite nice. She indicated she did not have a problem with the density, as long as the product quality was there. Councilmember Kelley indicated she had a problem with the Fairfield project. She commented she wanted staff to understand that the issues should be handled as a top priority and it needed to be taken care of.
