(F:160.2) (X:150.2)
City Manager Watenpaugh introduced this item involving Ramsgate
Development on Highway 74. Community Development DirectorBrady
explained that this item included five tentative tract maps. He noted that the
Page Five - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
Specific Plan was a mile east of the I-15 on the south side of highway 74,
including 1239 acres of land. He advised that the plan was first approved in
June, 1984, and amended several times, with the latest amendment to allow
for up to 3330 units. He advised that there had been no maps approved
previously, however the realignment of Highway 74 had caused the need fro
some revisions. He indicated that the maps presented included 1,1701ots,
a multi-family portion and conversion of a portion of the commercial area to
single family. He noted that the Planning Commission had considered the
item on July lst and spent several hours on the conditions of approval and
other requirements; and ultimately continued the item to July 15th and spent
more time on it. He commented that there were over 470 conditions
associated with the five maps. He indicated that the Planning Commission
had recommended approval, with several conditions of concern to the
applicant being warked out with regard to the park. He advised that the
project would be conditioned to participate in the new Community Facilities
District far Police.
Mayor Brinley opened the public hearing at 7:20 p.m.
Ed Fitzpatrick, Director of Development, Eastbridge Partners, 114 Pacifica,
Irvine, indicated that they had been working with staff for some time and
noted that he thought it to be a very enjoyable relationship. He indicated
that there was only one remaining issue; and noted that they had no problem
with the other 469 conditions. He concurred that the park issues had been
worked out with staff and were fine, but the issue of concern was with Tract
No. 25477, condition No. 90 regarding Mauricio Avenue. He indicated that
he spoke with Riverside County and they did not see a need for the
condition, but he had not received a final decision on the issue. He
presented the circulation maps and noted the area of concern, with no
Mauricio Street shown on the map, wither in the City or the County. He
detailed the circulation maps and markings and streets that there was no
dedication for Mauricio Street. He requested rejection of condition 90 on
tract 25477 or the contingency that if the County did not need it, it would be
removed.
Page Six - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
Planning Commissioner Dan iJhlry, 103 Flint Street, indicated that he didn't
know there was an issue with Mauricio Street, but commented that he
would have no problem changing to a six foot easement or giving the
dedication back if the County does not want it. He offered to answer
questions on behalf of the Planning Commission, and noted that it was quite
a task to address all of the conditions; but he was happy to see it moving
forward. He commented that it would help the whole community with
development, and noted that the commercial portion would also be nice.
Adel Abusamra, resident of Dana Point, indicated that he owned 48 acres in
the middle of the area and expressed support for the project. He indicated
that he was thankful for their generosity and assistance; and noted that they
were bringing infrastructure for many additional homes. He thanked the
Planning Commission and City staff for their efforts to make these two
projects happen.
Ed Sauls, 742 Summit, Laguna Beach, representing the Clurman Company,
thanked City staff for their assistance; noting that they had been
comprehensive and demanding at times, but also accommodating and
professional. He acknowledged the conditions and supported the
recommendations. He thanked the Council for their consideration and
looked forward to getting started.
Mayor Brinley questioned Mr. Fitzpatrick's comments regarding the right-
of-way requirements on condition No. 90. Community Development
Director Brady indicated that it was amended by the Planning Commission
to include the verbiage ".....if required by Riverside County Transportation
Department." He deferred to the City Engineer for more specific details on
the requirement.
Councilman Hickman indicated that he was anxious to see the project get
underway, as it would be a nice addition to the City. He commented that it
would appear that the Council had no say on the road dedication and
expressed support for the project.
Page Seven - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
Mayar Pro Tem Schiffner indicated the project sounded good, but he
questioned if the Council was being asked to eliminate condition 90 or
revise it. Community Development Director Brady indicated that they
would like to see the condition eliminated, but would at least like the
revisions to a 50 foot road width. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner requested
suggestions on how to proceed. Community Development Director Brady
deferred to the City Engineer with regard to the adequacy of the street
width. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner suggested that as the condition was
written it would cover whatever street width would be required, and
questioned the appropriate width. City Engineer O'Donnell indicated that if
the County accepted a 50 foot right-of-way, with houses on one side of the
street, it would work. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner questioned the ability to
stipulate a total width of 50 feet. City Engineer O'Donnell expressed hopes
that it would be acceptable to the County, but indicated that it should be
acceptable. Mayor Brinley questioned the need for additional verbiage.
City Engineer O'Donnell indicated that if 50 feet was acceptable to the
County it would be acceptable to the City.
Councilwoman Kelley indicated that as long as 50 feet was acceptable to
Mr. O'Donnell and the applicant, she would see it as appropriate. She
questioned the timing for the project, noting that it included a school, open
space, community park and residential development. Mr. Shopoff indicated
that they anticipated grading in approximately November of this year, as
they were currently seeking a Caltrans encroachment pernut. City Manager
Watenpaugh noted that they had worked with the Water District on the size
of the water line. Mr. Shopoff confirmed that they had long discussions
with EVMWD, which was still a small obstacle; and would bring house
construction in the second or third quarter of 2004, parks in 2004 and the
commercial site after that. He indicated that there was an excellent
opportunity for a grocery store. He further indicated that build out would
be over a period of three years. Mayor Brinley questioned the traffic
signals. Mr. Shopoff noted the location of signals planned along highway
74. Mayor Brinley questioned School District issues with the project. Mr.
Shopoff indicated that they had been resolved, as the lot was in escrow with
Page Eight - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
the School District. He commented that the maps had to be changed
because the School District wanted to move the site to a more central
location; and noted the connection between projects for pedestrian and
bicycle traffic.
Councilman Buckley addressed Mauricio Street, and assumed that the
applicant was looking for certainty that there would be no more than six feet
of land lost to the dedication. He questioned the applicant's discussions
with the County. Mr. Shopoff indicated that the street was presently in the
County and it had not been addressed in prior maps. He stressed the
challenges of their project and indicated that they hoped to be successful in
their negotiations with the County. He indicated that if they had to grant a
60 foot right-of-way, they would have to redesign the map. Councilman
Buckley questioned the current width. Mr. Shopoff indicated in the areas
that were already dedicated it was 44 feet, however in some areas there was
no dedication. Councilman Buckley indicated that he was in favor of the
project, and noted the significance of what was possible under the MSHCP,
when it came to actual construction. He noted the variable lot sizes from
5,500 to 10,000 square feet, and stressed that the smaller lots were generally
closer to the multi-family. He commented on the potential for moving up
within the project from starter homes to premium lots. He noted that the
applicant had attempted to stratify the neighborhoods with different
products.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner questioned the number of lots in the vested maps.
Mr. Shopoff indicated that there were 1,440, but they were down to 1,170;
noting that they lost quite a few lots to the Highway 74 realignment and
their contribution to the wildlife corridor.
Mayor Brinley indicated that she had a few questions, since they had
reached agreement on the MSHCP. She inquired how it would affect the
City, since the City had not reached agreement on the MSHCP. Mr.
Shopoff clarified that these maps were done absent the MSHCP; but they
had a 404 permit a 401 permit and a take permit. Mayor Brinley expressed
Page Nine - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
concern for keeping the City out of the legal issues on the habitat area. City
Attorney Leibold indicated that the applicant's approvals predated
consideration of the MSHCP; and this developer had a vesting tentative map
and a development agreement which would exempt them from the MSHCP.
Mayor Brinley commented that this project was a long time coming, and
clarified the timing for grading to start in November. She questioned the
anticipated market value far the homes. Mr. Shopoff suggested that they
would be in the upper $200,000's to the upper $300,000's; but noted that
housing prices were changing minute by minute. Mayor Brinley indicated
that she was in favor of the project and noted that it would be a nice
addition to the City. She noted that she saw the project at the Planning
Commission level prior to serving on the Council. Mr. Shopoff indicated
that the project had been under discussion for nineteen years, but his
company acquired the land about 5-1/2 years ago. Mayor Brinley
questioned Community Development Director Brady on the verbiage for the
street dedication. Mr. Brady deferred to the verbiage suggested by
Councilman Buckley for up to six feet, if needed.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner addressed the habitat issue and noted that the
property was occupied by an endangered species. Mr. Shopoff confirmed
that they spend 2-1/2 to 4 years to obtain a 404 permit, etc.; but he believed
they were in agreement with the regulatory agencies and the County to
develop a small portion of the specific plan. He noted that the project
would include far less land than the original plan. Councilman Hickman
inquired how much land was lost to habitat. Mr. Shopoff indicated that it
was about 600 of the 1200 acres, due to the high concentration of
gnatcatchers, including more than 60 nesting pairs. Mr. Shopoff addressed
the water line under I-15, and indicated that it was sized to handle future
development opportunities further to the east. He noted that it was planned
to cover the area for 8,000 or 9,000 units.
Mayor Brinley closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m.

Findinas - Addendum No. 2 to the FSEIR
Addendum No. 2 to the FSEIR for Ramsgate is complete, contains all
required information, and has been completed in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), utilizing criteria set forth in
Section 15164 of the CEQA guidelines.
2. Addendum No. 2 is the appropriate document because changes and
modifications proposed by the redesign of five maps do not change the
conclusion stated in the previous EIR documents.
Page Eleven - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
3. The modifications do not introduce any new issues about the significant
environmental effects of the proposed project, nor will they result in any
new significant unavoidable project impacts beyond those previously
identified.
4. Substantial changes have not occurred with respect to those circumstances
under which the proposed project will be developed. Since the 1989 FSEIR
was adopted, the arroyo toad and the coastal California gnatcatcher have
become federally listed tku~eatened species. However, the mitigation
measures already stated in the 1989 FSEIR, along with the requirements
imposed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service on the design of the
maps have mitigated impacts to these species to a less than significant level.
5. The City is not aware of any new information of substantial importance,
which was previously unknown or could not have been known at the time
that the 1989 FSEIR was adopted, which show the porjec tot have
significant effects that were not described in the previous EIR. The
technical reports and assessments prepared for the proposed project do not
conclude that greater impacts would result with the proposed project, or
reveal any new information that was not previously considered.
6. The updated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program establishes a
mechanism and procedures for implementing and verifying the
implementation of and compliance with the project design features and
mitigation measures pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081.6.

City Manager Watenpaugh noted previous discussions of this item to
implement a$300 per dwelling unit Community Facilities District. He
explained that there would be City Wide CFD, and a specific district for
operation and maintenance in the Canyon Hills area.
Don Hunt, Bond Special Counsel, noted that a resolution had been
previously adopted to state the intention of creating this district. He
explained that eventually, this district would be in place for all new
developments in the City. He explained the public hearing process for this
meeting and the Council's options following the public hearing.
Mayor Brinley opened the public hearing at 8:00 p.m.
Planning Commissioner Dan iJhlry, 103 W. Flint, indicated that he was
happy to see this being handled formally, and apply to each tract map. He
expressed support.
Bill Shopoff, representing White Rock Acquisitions, indicated that they had
worked with the City and were in favor of the Community Facilities District
and would annex to the District at the appropriate time.

was quite necessary due to the City's growth rate. She stressed that it was
already difficult to keep up with police and fire services. She expressed
support for the District.
Page Eighty-Two - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
Councilman Buckley indicated that he was also in favor of the Community

the MSHCP for habitat. He stressed the impacts of those taxes, and
commented that this assessment was necessary and he was in favor of it.

City Manager Watenpaugh noted that this was the annual consideration of
objections to placement of bills on the tax rolls. Community Development
Director Brady explained that this was an annual process for weed
abatement throughout the community, which began with notices being
mailed to 5,000 property owners in March of this year. He further explained
that the property owners were given until May 15th to clear their properties
of the weeds. He advised that 877 parcels were cleaned under the Weed
Abatement Program at a cost of $491,860.00; and 13 parcels were cleaned
under the Nuisance Abatement Program at a cost of $5,562.96.
Mayor Brinley opened the public hearing at 8:20 p.m.
Page Eighty-Five - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
Lorraine Watts, 210 N. Scrivener, spoke as a member of the NAACP, and
noted her concerns expressed at the last meeting regarding problem areas.
She presented a list to the Council to assure that the lots were cleaned. She
suggested that realtors should be held responsible for the properties with
real estate signs on them.
Councilman Buckley questioned the process of informing the property
owners of the need to abate their properties. He suggested that it might not
be a bad idea if there was a list to inform the real estate agents of the
requirements. He noted the number of parcels and the cost per parcel, and
questioned how long the abatement took per parcel. Community
Development Director Brady noted that the time was based on the size and
configuration of the parcel; and advised that there was a$250 per parcel
administrative charge to encourage abatement by the property owners. He
stressed that the preference would be for the owners to do their own
abatement. He explained that the administrative costs covered staff time,
and noted that with more rains there were more weeds to be abated.
Councilman Buckley further questioned the costs per parcel and whether
City owned properties had been abated. City Manager Watenpaugh
indicated that he believed as of this date they had been done; and noted that
next year abatement would be done by City staff. He noted a section at four
corners which had not been abated to allow for habitat. Councilman
Buckley questioned lots between the fishing beach and Chaney Street. City
Manager Watenpaugh indicated that the lots were not owned by the City.
Councilman Hickman inquired if weed abatement was still underway.
Community Development Director Brady indicated that as of this date, some
hand wark was being done near Gunnerson and Strickland, otherwise it
should be completed. He noted that there were still some lots that would be
done by the City contractor for private owners, as agreements were already
in place. Councilman Hickman questioned how the City could be forced
into doing weed abatement for the property owners. Community
Development Director Brady clarified that absentee owners might not be
able to do the work, however some owners just choose to have the City do
Page Eighty-Six - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
it. Councilman Hickman questioned the potential that some of the owners
would come and do the work next year. Mr. Brady indicated that some
might, and staff would like to see that. He noted that with development the
number of parcels to be abated would go down. Councilman Hickman
commented that he was glad to see the work getting done.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that it was unfortunate that the City had
to do this work, because people did not take care of their own property.
Councilwoman Kelley had no comments.
Mayor Brinley commented that this was an annual housekeeping item, but it
seemed there were more lots every year.
Mayor Brinley closed the public hearing at 8:26 p.m.

Lincoln and Grand. He explained that the project was reviewed by the
Planning Commission as a Conditional Use Permit was required for all
drive-thrus. He noted that the applicant was in agreement with the
conditions of approval.
Councilwoman Kelley indicated that it would be great to have the business.
Councilman Hickman inquired if they would only be selling coffee.

probably also sell sweets, eta Councilman Hickman questioned the
inclusion of a walk-up window. Mr. Brady confirmed. Councilman
Hickman wished the business success.
Page Eighty-Eight - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
Councilman Buckley questioned the landscaped section and if people would
be allowed to sit under the trees to drink coffee. Community Development
Director Brady confirmed that would be possible. Councilman Buckley
inquired if it would be called Java Junkie. Mr. Brady indicated that he was
not sure of the exact name, as the sign plan had not been submitted.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner questioned the intent for an area of paving with
tables and umbrellas. Community Development Director Brady noted that it
was the same area discussed by Councilman Buckley, however there were
drives on both sides.
Councilman Buckley indicated that he had no issue with the project, as the
Planning Commission had covered it well. He wished the business good
luck and concurred that the location near the new high school was good.

ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR
EVMWD request to use Cityproperty as a borrow site. (F:164.2)
City Manager Watenpaugh explained that this item was a request from
EVMWD for an easement to borrow property from the City. He further
explained that it was part of the 350 acre wetlands in the area around the
wells. He indicated that they were in need of fill to elevate the area. He
advised that there would be no major impacts as it was very close to the site
they were filling. He further advised that they were in discussions with the
Corps of Engineers and had secured the necessary permits.
Pete Dawson, 18010 Grand Avenue, noted that this was an item which
required no fill be brought into the flood plain. He expressed concern and
commented that everyone needed to be watching very carefully to assure
that nothing would be coming into the floodplain from outside the
floodplain. He stressed the need to assure that this use did not decrease the
capacity of the floodplain.

stressed that the City Council could review the requests annually, and this
was not a guarantee for the next four years.
Lorraine Watts, 210 N. Scrivener, indicated that she attended a special
meeting that helped to fund the skate park, and expressed her belief that
children should have a place to go. She indicated that the initial fee was too
much money, but she understood that the concessionaire would bring in
professional skateboarders for events to generate funds for the park and
make it self sustaining. She suggested that without transportation to the
park, subsidizing it would be a waste of the City's money. She noted that
her position on this issue had changed.
George Alongi, 410 Avenue 11, addressed subsidies in the community,
including the ball field, movie theater, Jess Watkins, and the skateboard
park. He suggested if they could not operate at a profit they needed to
leave. He further suggested operating the park with volunteers, and noted
the excellent volunteers in the community. He commented that two
Councilmen should vote yes, so it could be brought back when the Council
was changed.

Leroy Tucker, 3532 Cherry Blossom, noted that he came to the Council
several years ago with a layout for a skateboard park from the kids in his
neighborhood. He accepted his part of the blame for the problems
encountered with that proposal. He suggested a solution might be to hire
some senior citizens to take care of the park; still budgeting the money, but
letting the seniors run it.
Ron La Pere, 16867 Wells Street, indicated that the Council had already
taken action on the subsidy, and suggested an amendment with regard to
inner City children who could not get to the park. He suggested that the
Council consider working with the RTA and the budget to allow all of the
children the same opportunity.
Mayor Brinley comments, as the representative to RTA, they she assisted in
procuring three buses for the City which could be used to travel back and
forth. She clarified that the subsidy was actually $50,000. She questioned
the ability to utilize senior citizens to run the buses. City Manager
Watenpaugh indicated that the use of seniors or volunteers had not been
considered. He noted that while the buses were free, there was a cost for
staffing. He also noted that RTA had offered to provide the service for
about $62,000. He suggested that it might put the City in harms way, if the
kids don't get on a bus on time. He indicated that this issue could be
brought back to Council, with a proposal for operating the buses. Mayor
Brinley questioned the ability to use existing staff for transportation. City
Manager Watenpaugh indicated that it could be done, but it would take
away from other programs. Councilman Hickman suggested use of the
senior citizens to drive the buses. City Manager Watenpaugh suggested
looking at a comprehensive plan for transportation. Mayor Brinley
suggested a study session to discuss this issue. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner
suggested providing xransportation for a couple of months to see if anyone
would use it.
Page One Hundred - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
Mayor Brinley stressed that the buses were just sitting in the public works
yard; and suggested that the City Attorney and City Manager put together a
pilot program to see if it would work. She noted that she also had concern
that the safety equipment requirements at the park were not being enforced.
City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that the issue of safety equipment had
been addressed.
Councilman Buckley commented on the provision of bus service; and
suggested it might be something to consider, if the cost of the service came
out of the existing subsidy. He suggested that such a service should include
downtown, the Bird Tract; Joy Street, Terra Cotta, with loops to cover the
skatepark, library, etc. He also suggested that it was a good idea to take
advantage of volunteerism in Lake Elsinore. He noted that he intended to
abstain on this item.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that he was in favor of working out a
program for transportation at some point, but that was not the item for
consideration tonight. He noted that he was not in a position to vote on that
program. He stressed that this item was not a long term contract, as it was
only agreeing to one year of funding. He noted the problems at facilities in
other communities and the cost of providing services at other city facilities.
He suggested that staff look at the use of buses and seniors who might be
willing to drive them.
Councilwoman Kelley reiterated that this was for consideration of the
dollars which had already been budgeted; and clarified the gross versus net
revenues. She concurred that transportation was needed and stressed that
the park was a service to the youth of the community and enhanced the
quality of life. She noted the number of requests received to establish this
facility and noted the lack of police problems seen by other cities.
Councilman Hickman commented that saying the facility was free was
misleading and noted the cost for residents vs. non-residents. He expressed
concern with the location and indicated that he wanted inner city kids and
Page One-Hundred-One - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2003
Canyon Hills kids to have access to the park. He concurred that
transportation was the only solution. He suggested doing a study and
considering running the buses on the weekends.
Mayor Brinley reiterated the need for transportation and requested that staff
study the issue and develop a plan for use of the buses.

Development Agreement four months ago, provided that they complied with the
nuisance ordinance. He indicated that last week he challenged the Planning
Commission with regard to cleaning up the property, but the developer stated that
they had not closed escrow and were unable to remove the trash. He commented
that the Planning Commission accepted that response and approved their proposal.
He indicated that there was no park in his area of town and the skatepark was eight
miles away, so their park was the dirt lot with the trash, debris and leaking fuel
tank. He indicated that he requested that the property be cleaned up over a year
ago, and a lien placed against the property. He indicated that the project would be

George Alongi, 410 Avenue 11, indicated that he was quite disturbed when he

the Council needed to assist them with some sort of shelter to assist the homeless.
He stressed the need to see what could be done to assist them, noting that while
some were undesirables, but others were suffering because of the system. He
suggested that it was sick of Code Enforcement to remove the people and cut
down the trees and bushes they were living in.

number of concerned citizens doing more research into the homeless situation.

and change direction, which happened with regard to the upcoming
election. She noted that originally she was prepared to support Mr.
Schiffner, Mrs. Brinley and Mr. LaPere in this election year, and
willing to retire and do other things. She stressed the need to
continue a positive direction for the City and retain professionalism in
City staff. She noted that the chain of events led to her quick action,

did not believe the Council needed more power. She clarified that the
events changed the situation quickly and she had to act quickly.
Mayor Brinley commented on the following:
1) Indicated that she could appreciate other elected officials coming
