Mr. Corcoran reported that on February 4, 1985, the City received a letter and petition regarding Tract Map 19389, addressing concerns of area residents regarding circulation, environmental impacts and notification of the adjoining tract. After researching the files, it was determined that an Environmental Impact Report had not been requested for this tract. However, an Environmental Assessment had been completed, as required by law. The residents of the Highlands tract possibly were not reflected as legal property owners on the tax assessors rolls at the time notification of the public hearing was made to adjacent property owners. Regarding the traffic circulation concern, staff believes that Cherburg Street should not continue through to Riverside Drive. Mr. Phillip Taylor, 567 Highlands Drive, Lake Elsinore, petitionet, addressed Council and stated there are fifty children living on Highlands Drive and approximately the same number on La Havre in the Lake Glen tract. Visibility on these streets is poor due to the fact that these are winding roads with a downhill grade. This would create an extreme hazard if Cherburg were continued through to Riverside Drive. Mrs. Peggy Taylor, 567 Highlands Drive, Lake Elsinore, commented that Mr. Thompson, the developer, had assured residents that there would be no construction traffic on Highlands Road. Bumpers were set up to block off road, however on Monday morning, an Elsinore Ready Mix concrete truck was driving on the Road driving in excess of the speed limit. Residents contacted ERM and requested the drivers slow down, which they did. After contacting Mr. Thompson's office he indicated the trucks would not use Highlands. Yesterday, the trucks were using Highlands Road again. Mayor Valenzuela suggested Mrs. Taylor contact Mr. Corcoran regarding this problem. Mr. Strigotte suggested Code Enforcement and the Sheriff's Department be notified regarding removal of street barriers.

Mr. Culp reported on the status of the water well which is anticipated to come in on schedule and be in production by April 15, 1985. He stated that the Water Department will be increasing its level of service and will step up replacement of defective water meters to a rate of approximately forty meters per week during the next fiscal year. Additional improvements to service will include a waterline flushing program which will be accom- plished twice a year, as well as a water valve replacement and exercising program on a regular basis. Mr. Molendyk commented that it is imperative that the enterprise accounts of the City are self-sustaining. With the anticipated loss of Revenue Sharing impacting the 1985/86 budget, the water department cannot continue to operate at a loss. Mr. Matson recommended that the 40-meter per week replacement program be commenced immediately. He also stated that the proposed rate increase only brings us to a break-even point, all operational costs are not included. A special Senior Citizen rate has been included allowing for a reduction of forty percent.
