Mayor Strigotte opened the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. The City Clerk reported two written comments as follow: city of Lake Elsinore: I am against having professional offices on the north side of Lakeshore Drive between 7th and 6th Street. I feel that you will kill downtown Lake Elsinore if you change the zoning. By changing the zoning from residential to business (Offices) will isolate the business in downtown. I live in the area in question on a DIRT road. I bought this piece of property because it was quiet, I have a lake view (which would be destroyed if your plan went through), my neighbors aren't too close, and there is no traffic. with the zone change all of this would change. I personally want to see Lake Elsinore prosper, but I don't think that this has to be done in an area where people have the homes. From the side street it is a challenge at the present time. If you don't change the zoning the traffic won't 138 PAGE THREE - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 23, 1988 increase much, where changing the zoning will definitely increase the traffic in the area. Sincerely, Bruce Stauffer 220 Pepper Street AND: - Sirs: Received notice of project for Specific Plan 87-1 - Jordan Architects, Inc. proposing amendment to the General Plan between Center and 7th. I own several lots on Lake Street abutting this property between Center and High Street (1-7-8-16-17). I would like to go on record as in favor of this amendment which I feel should have been done a long time ago probably including property to Lake Street drawing attention to fences and back yards almost on Lakeshore, a main street into our City which are not very attractive. Thank you, W. D. Roberson The following persons spoke in support of the proposed specific plan Steve Kilburn, Bill Bacheroy, Matthew Whitman, Andre Rosen, Joe Roybal, and Brian Weiss, applicant. Bruce Jordan, Architect and Planner for the project, commented that in working with staff it was felt that this was the best way to deal with a difficult situation. He _ also commented on the landscaped buffer area and drainage and street improvements they would be accomplishing. Mayor Strigotte closed the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. Councilman Vermillion expressed concern with strip zoning and commented that he would have preferred to see a divided road with landscaped medians. Councilman Dominguez questioned the building configuration and suggested that the area be enhanced with additional landscaping and possibly a fountain. Community Development Director Miller clarified that Lakeshore Drive will have a landscaped median and ultimately two lanes of traffic in each direction. Mayor Strigotte questioned the flood control facilities being discussed as "interim" in the report. Public Services Director Kirchner clarified that on that side of Lakeshore the storm drains were already in.
