Page Four -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004
president for Lake Elsinore Little League, a group of which she had been
part of for eight and a half years. She presented the new logo and noted the
City's contributions to that logo. She presented team jackets and caps to
Teri Fazzio, Dave Sapp and Jon Fazzio for their assistance. She noted the
success of last year's team and noted that they look forward to having a
challenger division for severely handicapped kids. She further noted that
she was working with Recreation and Tourism Manager Fazzio on possible
grant funding. She thanked the City Council for their new snack bar
facility, and introduced Tatiana Roach, the auxiliary mom working on the
project. Ms. Roach commented that the snack bar would be started within
30 days, and completed within 90 days. She noted the location of the
facility and indicated that they would love to have the public come and see
the finished product. She indicated that they were still looking for
sponsorships and detailed the various levels available. She advised that
interested parties could call (951) 805-6460 for more information. She
encouraged the public to come out and see them play. Community Services
Director Sapp thanked the group on behalf of City staff, and noted that as a

their children. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley thanked them for their presentation.
e. Presentation - Lea~;ue of California Cities Conference. (F:108.8)
Councilman Hickman highlighted the Annual Conference, with the theme
United We Stand. He explained that the intent was to push hard for
Proposition l.a., which required 51% of either the Senate or the public to
pass. He indicated that the second issue they pushed was Proposition 65
which requires a 2/3rds vote of the Senate to take City funds. He advised
that he attended several classes and there was a great deal of discussion on
the financial status of the State and the compromises that were made. He
advised that he also attended a class on the future of government finance,
and stressed that the State deficit was a big problem for the cities, but the
pending Proposition should help. He commented that it was interesting to
note that the special interest group opposed all fiscal reforms. He stressed
the importance of a strategy for grant funds, and suggested having one
Page Five -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004
person to write the grants. He noted that if there was an application for a
grant, there was a program officer that could keep the City updated on the
City's score and provide a copy of the winning grant. He commented on
the quality of housing and affordable prices with manufactured homes; and
commented that it was not possible to put up tracts of manufactured homes.
He indicated that the benefit was for the City was in single City lots. He
noted that he also attended sessions with the State officials running for
office, the new officers for the League and the general session. He
indicated that Councilmember Schiffner, Mayor Buckley and Planning
Commissioners iJhlry and O'Neal also attended the Conference. He
commented that the Conference was beneficial for everyone and noted that
he carried the flag for the City.
PUBLIC COMMENTS -NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS -1 MINUTE
Lt. Col Paula Graver, 117 Poe Street, noted the Support Our Troops Rally group
and thanked those who contributed to the gift packages. She thanked the
community for the prayers for her son, and reminded the public that they were still
having rallies every Saturday form 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Bulger King. She
commented that she had a new partner in the Support Our Troops Rallies, being
Wanda Abbott, and encouraged prayers for her. She also thanked everyone that
honks or waves at the weekly rallies.
Pat Clary and Dori Dixon, representing the Rotary Club, announced the Second
Annual Art and Wine festival, and noted that admission was free. They advised
that the event would be held in the downtown City Park, with wine tasting by the
glass or taste, with Vick Knight providing wine lessons. They also noted that there
would be microbrewery products, food, and sodas. They indicated that there
would be entertainment by Temescal Canyon High School Jazz Band and winners
of a music competition, as well as the Ginger Jackson Band. They commented
that there would be over 25 art vendors, and art contest and horseshoe contest.
They detailed the event sponsors and invited everyone to attend on October 9th.
Kathy Annol, representing the Unity in the Community parade committee, thanked
the City Council for allowing them to hold the parade on November 20`". She
Page Six -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004
advised that this year the theme was Celebrating Diversity and Tolerance in
education. She further advised that the parade would follow the same route as last
year, and looked forward to the City's entry in the parade. She thanked
Community Services Director Sapp, Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio and
Parks/Open Space Manager Fazzio for their assistance with the parade. She noted
that they had agreed to set up barricades and traffic signs. She further noted that
they already had more than 20 entries. She indicated that anyone with questions
could call either (951) 674-8423 or (951) 674-4228.
George Alongi indicated that he was upset a few weeks ago when a high level staff
member was attacked. He indicated that he did not know why Councilman Magee
had not called for a point of order. He advised that he was most concerned that it
was an assault upon the digs, because a citizen did not agree with what was said.
He commented that he was also concerned that staff had approached an elected
official, as they should be free to voice their opinions. He stressed the meaning of
democracy, and indicated that he felt that person should be dealt with and it should
not be handled lightly.
Vida Boice, 17 Ponte Negra, directed her comments to Councilman Schiffner, and
expressed concern with traffic. She noted that she had mentioned this issue
before, but looked at the traffic study for the Condominiums on the Internet. She
indicated that it was a nice study, but there continues to be problems on Railroad
Canyon Road. She noted that the newspaper had comments about work on Bundy
Canyon Road, and questioned why it would have a preference over Railroad
Canyon. She questioned the impact of the back basin development on the
existing traffic problems; and inquired how the process could be sped up to
resolve the safety hazard. She noted that it was even difficult for emergency
vehicles in the area. She stressed that a solution 25 years from now was not
adequate, as something needed to be done right away.
Councilman Schiffner responded to Ms. Boice, noting that the City began a study
on the area about four years ago, with nine different designs being submitted to the
State. He explained that Caltrans took three years to get back on which ones they
would like or not like. He further explained that the staff had been negotiating for
Page Seven -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004
about two years to find a design they would be interested in. He indicated that
about 3 to 4 months ago, they City got four alternate designs they would accept;
and a contract was just done to have a group do the cost estimates and recommend
one. He expressed hopes that it would ultimately be one the State would accept.
He noted that he even made a modification on one design and submitted it, based
on his past work in the field and input into the process. He advised that was the
current situation, and stressed the number of people and amount of time involved
in the approval process. He indicated that when a decision was made, it would be
at least a year to do the design work, and that would not even address where the
money would come from. He stressed the time and money spent so far, and
indicated that there were hopes that the back basin project construction would pay
approximately $10 million into the TUMF fund, which could be allocated to that
specific intersection. He indicated that he did not agree with the Bundy Canyon
work, and noted that the County was trying to force the City to spend money on
that project. He noted that while there was disagreement between the City and
County, they had hired the same traffic engineer to address the situation. He
stressed that he understood the concerns and reiterated that work had been
ongoing for a long time, but noted that it would probably still be a long time for
the acquisition and construction. He suggested that it would get worse before it
got better.
Councilman Hickman noted that the City kicked in about $800,000 to get another
lane under the bridge, and another right turn lane on Grape Street. Councilman
Schiffner noted that there was a limitation on how much the City could spend in
advance without kicking the project into another category with Caltrans.
David Cooper, 29300 Riverside Drive, noted that after Councilman Schiffner's
comments he had changed his comments for tonight. He addressed the back basin
project lawsuit by the County and suggested that the City did not need another
lawsuit. He suggested that the homes in the back basin would make the gridlock
worse. He indicated that Murrieta and Temecula Councils were very unpopular
due to the traffic issues. He questioned the Council wanting all the new homes
and more traffic problems.
Page Eight -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004
Leslie Costello & Vida Boice, 15 and 17 Ponte Negra, addressed the Council and
Chief of Police. They indicated that there was an issue that was unresolved for
two years, being the problem of illegal dirt bikes and quads on the streets and
hillsides of Tuscany Hills. They commented that this was a cancer on the area.
They noted that the riders began at 6:45 a.m. on Sunday Mornings, and have no
regard for anyone's peace and quiet. They indicated that they had contacted the
police and Mayor Buckley. They noted that the off-road vehicle police had tried
to do something, but when she called the police, things quieted down for a few
days. They indicated that they would like to know if something more permanent
could be done. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley deferred to the Police Chief, and noted
that they had the same problem in her area. Ms. Costello suggested permanent
barriers.
CLOSED SESSION REPORT
City Attorney Leibold announced that the Council met in Closed Session for

and Ordinance No. 1128. (F:160.2)
Assistant City Manager Best noted the location of this project.
Community Development Director Brady detailedthis project and the
components presented for consideration. He explained that the request
would divide 59 acres into 191 single family lots. He clarified that it was
adjacent to the Ramsgate/Rosetta Canyon project. He advised that only
four lots were as small as 6,000 square feet in the tract. He noted
discussion of improvements to Conard and Third Streets, and indicated that
they were also required to pay fees under the Quimby Act for the installation
of parks.
Mayor Pro Tem Kelley opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m., asking those
persons interested in this item to speak. The following person. spoke:
Ed Fitzpatrick, Director of Development, noted that the project had been
before the City for a long time, as it was first approved in 1990, but slowed
by the recession. He indicated that there had been a CFD for improvements
that was funded and then debunked; so there was presently an agreement for
reimbursement on the project. He noted that there were other
representatives present to answer questions.
Bruce Eichorn indicated that he had owned property in the area for over 35
years. He expressed concern that there was a CFD for over $4 million spent
on the project, but the public improvements were sold off in a foreclosure
sale. He commented that he was not sure that was a legal action, and noted
that there were other problems with the map.
There were no further public comments.
City Treasurer Weber noted the Council meeting of March 23, 2004, and
Page Eleven -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004
indicated that $151,000 was payable to the City at the approval of the first
tract map. He questioned if the money was received. Administrative
Services Director Pressey indicated that it had not been received to his
knowledge; but if that was correct he would be following up with them.
Mr. Weber stressed that the requirement was within 24 months or upon
approval of the first tract map. Community Development Director Brady
indicated that the money was in escrow at this point. Councilman Magee
clarified that the trigger for payment was the approval of the map, and that
was the consideration currently before the Council. He indicated that he
had several questions at 4 p.m., but pointed out that this developer had
resurrected a specific plan from the 1980's, in which lot size of 4,000 would
have been allowed, but the average was now in excess of 8,000. He
stressed that they had responded to market conditions, Council desires and a
commitment to bring a high quality product.
Councilman Schiffner noted the additional changes in conditions presented,
which should be included in the approval, as requested by the developer.
Councilman Hickman indicated that he felt this project was dealing the City
out of a mess.
City Attorney Leibold noted that there was several actions to be taken and
detailed them.
Mayor Pro Tem Kelley closed the public hearing at 7:53 p.m.

to the environment. The project will not substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species, nor will it cause a population to drop below self-
sustaining levels. The project will not eliminate a plant or animal community,
nor reduce the number or range of a rare or endangered plant or animal. The
site contains no known historical resources.
2. The proposed project has individual impacts that can be mitigated to below the
level of significance. The project's contribution to cumulative noise impacts
are insignificant when considered in light of the contribution to traffic noise
resulting from projects within the vicinity. No considerable cumulative impacts
will occur as a result of the proposed project.
3. Based upon current knowledge as to the nature of the proposed project, the
Initial Study does not identify any potential adverse effects on human beings.
Findings for Zone Change No. 2004-09:

comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the
neighborhood of the proposed amendment or within the City, (2) injurious to
property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City.
Page Fourteen -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004

zoning to the residential development occurring within the adjacent
Ramsgate Specific Plan.

public healthy, safety and general welfare of persons residing or working
within the neighborhoods in the area or within the City. The proposed
project shall comply with these standards.
d. The project site constitutes an island of existing RR -Rural Residential
zoning, between the residential uses in the Ramsgate Specific Plan, R-1

of City's General Plan, housing needs, public services and fiscal resources
were scrutinized to achieve a balance within the City.
b. The map has been conditioned to annex into Community Facilities District
2003-1 to offset the annual negative fiscal impacts of the project on public
safety operations and maintenance issues in the City.

Maintenance District No. 1 to offset the annual negative fiscal impacts of
the project on public right-of--way landscaped areas to be maintained by the
City, and for street lights in the public right-of-way for which the City will
pay for electricity and a maintenance fee to Southern California Edison.
4. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the proposed division is not
anticipated to result in any significant environmental impact.
Page Sixteen -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004

2004-10 - D.R. Horton. (F:138.2)
Page Thirty-Seven -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004
Community Development Director Brady explained this item and detailed
the items for consideration. He indicated that they would be located on
Lakeshore Drive, on the site of the old driving range. He noted that this
project by D.R. Horton was part of the East Lake Specific Plan area. He
explained that it would be a high density project on approximately 9-1/2
acres. He noted the exhibits presented, showing designs in the Spanish and
French styles. He detailed the lot configuration, and noted that there would
also be a pool, tot lots and a recreation building.
Mayor Pro Tem Kelley opened the Public Hearing at 8:00 p.m., asking those
persons interested in this item to speak. The following people spoke:
Chris Faber, representing the applicant, 119 N. Maple Street, Suite A,
Corona, noted that staff and the consultant were present to answer
questions.
Joseph Boice, 17 Ponte Negra, indicated that the Council had done nothing
for traffic but to keep building. He suggested that there would someday be
bumper to bumper traffic on Main Street. He stressed the need to make
sure there was a good way out of town. He indicated that his wife moved
him to Lake Elsinore and he has been sorry ever since. He commented that
he saw no improvement.
Dan Uhlry, Planning Commissioner, 103 Flint Street, noted that he had
abstained from voting on this project. He indicated that he liked the project
concept and design, but disagreed with the building and staff on the project
elevation. He explained that it had been lowered to 1264', with the
suggestion that there was only a two foot wave wash on the Lake. He
advised that all other projects around the Lake perimeter had been
established at 1265'. He expressed concern with setting a precedent; and
stressed that he would like to see it remain at 1265'.
Community Development Director Brady clarified the discussion about the
wave wash and the flood level. He explained that the requirement was
Page Thirty-Eight -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004
1264' plus a maximum of a three foot wave wash. He indicated that there
was discretion for the flood plain administrator, if information is presented
to indicate that the wave run up could be lowered due to the location of the
property. He noted that there was a comprehensive study required and if
the engineer felt comfortable with the study findings he could change the
requirements.
Councilman Schiffner commented that the proposed project was a first class
development, and the beginning of a completely new set of developments in
the area. He suggested that it would start a trend of very upscale
development in the area and indicated that he was pleased to see it go
forward.
Councilman Hickman questioned the concerns expressed by Planning
Commissioner iJhlry; and noted that if East Lake was being held to 1267', --
then this area should be held there as well. He noted that when water
comes down the inflow channel, there will be greater volume. He indicated
that he was also concerned about the fence and walls along the back of the
project. He commented that he appreciated the six foot block wall fence,
but expressed concern with the water front. He suggested a view fence of
the beautiful view that would be there in the future. He stressed the 1267'
elevation and requested that the developer give thought to the finished pad.
Councilman Magee addressed the elevation issue and noted that only one
pad would be below the 1267' at 1266.9'. He inquired of the City Engineer,
if this was the case. Engineering Manager Seumalo indicated that it was at
the time of the Planning Commission consideration, but noted that he had
not seen the changes presented for this meeting. He clarified that the
project applicant presented a wave run-up study which he reviewed and
discussed with the person who did the study. He noted that the study
presented three degrees of safety, and with the combination of wind velocity
and a 100 year flood were unlikely. He noted that the water would be
dissipated. He commented on his initial insecurity with the elevation, but
explained that the study showed that the elevation could be lowered by 1.3
or 1.4 feet.
Page Thirty-Nine -City Council Minutes -September 28, 2004
Councilman Magee inquired if the units at that elevation would be eligible
for flood insurance. Engineering Manager Seumalo confirmed.
Mayor Pro Tem Kelley closed the Public Hearing at 8:05 p.m.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY MAGEE TO APPROVE
TENTATIVE CONDOMINIUM MAP N0.32670AND RESIDENTIAL
DESIGN REVIEW N0.2004-10, BASED ON THE FOLLOWING
FINDINGS AND EXHIBITS A THRU bb, AND SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
Councilman Magee noted the concerns with the 1266' elevation and
inquired if it would be possible to make the 1267' elevation, using dirt on
the site. Engineering Manager Seumalo confirmed. Mr. Faber indicated
that there was not enough available dirt, and they would have to import
- more. Engineering Manager Seumalo indicated that if they dug the basin
deeper there would be enough. Councilman Magee requested that the
maker amend the motion to require all pads to be over 1267' in elevation.
THE MOTION WAS AMENDED BY THE MAKER, AS REQUESTED BY
SECOND TO REQUIRE THAT ALL PADS BE OVER 1267 IN
ELEVATION.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF
THOSE PRESENT.

Watenpaugh at the head of the team. He expressed concern that his contract was
not renewed; and stressed his experience in meeting with staff to bring in new
business. He stressed that staff was instrumental in helping them draw the
businesses. He indicated that there was efficiency from the bottom to the top of
the organization. He reiterated that there was a "can do" attitude throughout the

great job.

noted that she had not seen the man before and all of a sudden he was saying how
wonderful things were. She disagreed and indicated that things were not
wonderful, as there were many underlying problems in the City, which needed to
be faced and cleaned up. She suggested that until then the City would never run
smoothly. She commented that one could make excuses and point fingers, but the
truth would remain.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilman Schiffner commented on the following:
1) Indicated that it was obvious that people did not understand what a
CFD was. He pointed out that there were two ways a developer
developed, either the CFD is used to pay for part of the project, or
they front their own money. He indicated that it was all the same as
the homeowner either pays the money up front or over a period of
years via the CFD. He stressed that either way the cost was passed on
to the homeowner. He noted that his house did not come with Mello-
Roos, and he had to pay for the improvements up-front.
Councilman Hickman commented on the following:
1) Noted that he represented the City at the Student of the Month
Program, and indicated that it made him appreciate the future kids.
He commented on the problems the kids had overcome.
2) Indicated that he was going to request two study sessions, the first on
the Street Sweeping Ordinance. He noted that there were concerns
that the streets got clean and people were not ticketed after the streets
were cleaned. He also requested a study session on the CFD Policy,
noting a rumor around town which made him want to be sure the City
was protected with CFD's.
3) Thanked City Treasurer Weber for his thanks, and recommended that
the similar curb painting at Machado Elementary. He suggested that
the Safety Committee address signage to protect the kids.
4) Indicated that he enjoyed the League of Cities Conference.

$1 million had been allocated by the City to expand the existing
lanes. He also noted that next month there would be two new
motorcycle officers targeting the area to keep the traffic flowing.
2) Addressed credit cards and indicated that was part of the ongoing
Audit; and expressed hopes that there would be a policy developed
that made everyone feel comfortable with the use of City credit cards.

not. He requested that if anyone had a problem with him, that they
talk to him personally and not on t.v.
