He detailed the project location and its proximity to Railroad Canyon Road, Cottonwood Hills Road and Canyon Lake. He detailed the history of this project which was originally approved in 1989 and highlighted the original proposal. He compared this proposal for 45 homes to the original one which was for 290 housing units. He also noted the previously approved development agreement with Pardee and explained the purpose and limitations of that agreement. He also noted the improvements to Railroad Canyon which were provided as a part of the development agreement. He detailed the Planning Commission consideration of this project and noted that they have also approved the design of the homes which will range in size from 2,600 to 3,200 square feet. He advised that conditions 30 and 31 were inadvertently excluded from the staff report and read them into the record. He further advised that condition 32 should be amended by the addition of the following verbiage which has been discussed with the applicant: - 32. . . . . . . . all landscaping improvements shall be bonded with a 100% performance bond for a two year period. Jim Stringer, representing the applicant, noted their concurrence with the proposed conditions. Mayor Kelley opened the public hearing at 7: 12 p.m., asking those persons interested in this item to speak. The following person spoke: - Michael Geer, 32050 Crooked Arrow, Wildomar, noted that he attended all of the meetings in 1988 and 1989 regarding this project. He indicated that he lives in a community of thirty, 2 and 1/2 acre parcels and they were in support of the project at that time. He further noted that he believes this will be one of the finest projects Lake Elsinore has seen. He expressed concern for the impact of this project on the traffic flows on Lost Road. He noted a condition in the EIR which required a traffic count on Lost Road in PAGE THREE - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - OCTOBER 26, 1999 conjunction with the second phase of the project. He suggested obtaining an updated traffic count on Lost Road, as soon as possible for use as a base for the later count required by the EIR conditions. He noted that this would be helpful in seeing the actual impacts of the project. He expressed hopes that the majority of the previously established conditions would be retained, noting the work that had gone into them. Hearing no additional requests to speak, the public hearing was closed at 7:16 p.m. Councilwoman Brinley requested that staff respond to Mr. Geer's comments regarding the study of Lost Road. Community Development Director Brady indicated that he was not sure of the EIR requirements, so staff would need to investigate. He noted that this proposal will actually reduce the density of the project and in turn the traffic counts; and commented that this proposal was far less than the zoning would currently allow in that area. He reiterated that the project could go as high as 290 units rather than the proposed 45 units. He also noted that with regard to the schools, they are allowed to go into projects such as this, but the City does not necessarily have control over where they go, as it is a School District matter. Councilwoman Brinley requested that staff update Mr. Geer on this issue after staff has had an opportunity to review the requirements; and suggested that Mr. Geer verify his address with the City Clerk. Councilwoman Brinley thanked Mr. Brady for the inclusion of the landscape bonding condition and noted that it is part of the regular conditions of approval. She noted that she was pleased to hear that the applicant had met with the School District and they are happy with the provision of three parcels for schools. Mr. Stringer clarified that they are in the process of meeting with the District. Mrs. Brinley commented that the project was a long time in coming and it was good to see the project getting started. Councilman Schiffner requested clarification of some misunderstandings; noting that there has been development agreement in place since 1990 and the City is bound by the terms of that agreement. He stressed that changes could only be made through mutual agreement; and otherwise it is a binding contract that the City must live by. Mr. Brady confirmed. Councilman Pape noted that it looks like a good addition to the City, with nice homes, nice home sizes, a good layout and conditions to assure that the agreement is carried out to the satisfaction of both sides. Mayor Pro Tern Metze concurred with Mr. Geer with regard to the quality of the project; and noted that this does not impact the previous conditions regarding the road and traffic counts. He noted that it might come up again as part of a specific plan amendment. Community Development Director Brady confirmed. Mr. Metze stressed that this is a proposal for 2,600 to PAGE FOUR - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - OCTOBER 26, 1999 3,200 foot homes; and noted that he was pleased to see a high percentage of the larger homes. Mayor Kelley stressed the size of the proposed homes and the high percentages of the larger homes. She indicated that she was happy with the - lower density; and commented that she was glad to see it moving forward. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that with regard to schools the City Council and School Board have met, and both acknowledge concerns for future school locations. Councilman Pape indicated that he appreciated the efforts by the developer to try to save the oak trees on site, noting the benefit of this action for the Community.

BUSINESS ITEMS 31. Ordinance No. 1053 - Amending the Municipal Code relating to Fishing & Lake Speed Limits. (F:92.1) City Manager Watenpaugh highlighted the proposed ordinance, and noted that it does not change the speed limits already in place, only eliminates a duplication. Community Services Director Sapp detailed the proposed amendment to the Municipal Code, which will eliminate a duplication, and provide a new section regarding fishing. He explained that there had been a number of discussions with Lake Patrol and their comments have been incorporated into the proposed ordinance. He further explained that it would establish bag limits on fish to allow for maintenance of a healthy population of fish in the Lake; establish fishing hours with no night fishing on the waters, but shoreline fishing until 10 p.m., consistent with the existing park regulations. Councilman Pape questioned why it was necessary to adopt this ordinance in addition to the State rules and regulations. Mr. Sapp eXplained that this ordinance deals specifically with issues such as fishing from City docks and property which is not addressed at the State level. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that this Ordinance is necessary to allow for local enforcement, which is required because Fish and Game only has one representative in Riverside County. He also explained that the revenue from this City ordinance would come back to the City. Councilman Pape questioned why the City would not allow night fishing. Mr. Sapp noted the potential liability of boats on the water, but clarified that it would be allowed from the shoreline until 10 p.m., consistent with park regulations. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that this would only apply to public beaches and not private property. Deputy City Attorney Mann confirmed. Councilman Pape questioned the proposed Bass length. Mr. Sapp indicated that the proposed ordinance was consistent with the State regulations. Mayor Pro Tern Metze reiterated that this was more of a housekeeping item, to eliminate duplications in the Code and address fishing limitations.

Agreement for Community Profile Study - Economics & Politics. Inc. (F: 116.3) Assistant City Manager Best detailed the proposed study and noted that it will help to address questions received regarding the businesses and labor/work force. She explained the necessity for this information, and indicated that Mr. Husing would be a contracted employee and noted he is very reputable in this area. She noted that he has done similar studies for Riverside and San Bernardino counties and a number of special districts. She indicated that the report would be provided within a six-month time frame, which would be within the time frame of the 2000 Census; and provide facts and figures for the General Plan update. Dick Knapp, City Treasurer, indicated that this was a waste of money because the information is available from other sources. He suggested that the money would be better used for July 4th fireworks. - Councilman Schiffner noted that this seems to be valuable information and he would support the study.

She noted that this Consultant has worked with Temecula and Murrieta on similar studies and they have found the information very valuable. She expressed support for the study. Councilman Pape noted that the City is frequently asked for this type fo information for potential businesses who want to know the area before making a financial commitment. Mayor Pro Tern Metze concurred that this would be a more complete source of information which would be specific to the City. He noted that this information is one of the first things requested when a business wants to come to the community, particularly restaurants. He further noted that it will be used for the General Plan update in 2001. He suggested that the $15,000 will be returned 100 times over by the business it will generate. Councilwoman Brinley added that when the Council is talking to the community, the first thing they want to know is why businesses are not coming in to the community. She stressed that this will facilitate those businesses coming in and will be terrific for the City's efforts. - Mayor Kelley noted this study will be an eight-part report and detailed the sections to be included, and questioned how this is valuable in the economic gardening program. Assistant City Manager Best noted local businesses want to know whether they will have a work force that is trainable and skilled for their particular business. She also noted that a variety of the statistics, which are not currently available, would be very valuable for a business wanting to grow in this area. Mayor Kelley noted that an oral briefing will be provided upon completion of the study. Assistant City Manager Best indicated that the Consultant would provide any type or presentation the City Council requested. Mayor Kelley questioned the delivery date. Ms. Best indicated that May 1 st was the agreed upon date.

He suggested that the voters are tired of dodging the Same potholes. He indicated that this meeting was an indication of - politics in desparation, as it had been for three years. He indicated that the Council has authorized unlimited presentations to the Planning Commission and Council, but the City Treasurer is limited to three minutes. He concurred that Mr. Watenpaugh was an exception to that.

She read excerpts of Mr. Gunn's deposition, and reiterated that she had read all of the depositions. She suggested that the Boardmembers would have been eaten alive on the witness stand, and they should be ashamed of themselves. She addressed one of Mrs. Brinley's campaign flyer and questioned comments that she helped to provide new police and fire stations at the northwest end of the community. She indicated that she has not seen either and it will probably be discussed for another 10 years. She noted that the incumbents did not attend Mr. Alongi's forum as they felt they should go to Tuscany Hills to support another candidate. Dale Hite, 115 N. Kellogg, indicated that he could talk about the reserves that won't be there after the claims are paid, or he could talk about the forum that the incumbents had not attended, or he could talk about the passing of debt to future generations, but he had something more important to discuss. He noted that residents had seven more nights to contemplate their votes, and indicated that they would need to choose three. He suggested if people are happy with the way things are, he knows what they will do, but requested that residents think about the vote and choose people who will make Lake Elsinore a better place to live.
