PUBLIC COMMENTS
1. Sherry Nickell, Committee to Save the Trees, 683 Parkview Drive, Lake
Elsinore, commented on Council's decision at their meeting of February 26,
1985, to remove the Deodora cedar trees along Machado Street. She requested
Council consider a sixty day extension prior to removal of the trees to
allow the Committee time to raise funds to construct a guardrail around the
trees which did not need to be removed for safety reasons. She also requested
a public hearing prior to any action being taken. Mrs. Nickell submitted
a petition signed by seven-hundred-thirty-eight (738) residents who would
like to preserve the natural beauty of the trees, as well as a brochure
containing information on the Deodora trees and some alternative suggestions
to removing them.
-
2. Phillip Taylor, 567 Highlands Drive, Lake Elsinore, urged the Deodora trees
not be cut down and asked that a public hearing be held on this matter.
3. Francine Hoffman and Charles Flannagan, teachers at Machado Elementary
School, submitted letters written by first, second and third grade children
at Machado School, urging Council not to remove the Deodora trees on
Machado.
4. Eugene Carter, 109 North Lowell, Lake Elsinore, commented that the General
Fund was five-hundred-thousand dollars ($500,000) in the hole.
Mayor Valenzuela responded to Mr. Carter's comments and explained that the
General Fund deficit which Mr. Carter referred to was a result of the losses
incurred by the Water Department.
5. Keith Hayward, Lake Elsinore, stated he is a horticulturalist and has examined
the Deodora trees and determined that they are approximately sixty-five years
and older and are in excellent health and condition. Life expectancy is
not determinable, however, trees have been known to live as long as three-
hundred years, barring disease. He urged Council not to have them removed.

Mr. Knight requested that the City Manager give a brief explanation of the
non-profit organization for the public.
Mr. Molendyk reported that the purpose of the non-profit organization is
to benefit the residents of the community by augmenting their cultural,
human services and recreational needs. Through this mechanism, people
could donate land for parks or a building for cultural activities and
realize tax benefits. The organization could also help in developing a
City Newsletter, which could be mailed to residents at 'non-profit' cost.
..,
Also, there is a great deal of development occuring in the community. The
developers presently purchase their building materials outside this commu-
nity and pay sales tax which benefits the community at the point of sale.
If these materials could be purchased through the non-profit organization,
the City would realize the sales tax which could be used to support cul-
tural, human services and recreational needs. In this way, the City
would realize an extra benefit from the economic development which is
occuring.

be screened and suggested there should be a more equitable schedule of fees
for conditional use permits of a short-term nature. Possibly a ten-year

of time of the conditional use permit. Also, recreational facilities wanting
to utiliz~ flood plain properties could be assessed a higher business fee in
lieu of Capital Improvement Fees and assessed a percent of gross profits.

Manager follow-up with Public Works and see that they are filled as soon as
possible.
Councilman Matson

project on Machado Street. These people feel they did not receive proper
notification. He requested staff to follow-up and determine when a public
hearing was held and what stage the proj~ct is in.
2. Commented on the low-interest loan program. He stated the Downtown Business
Association thought these were to be guaranteed loans, which they are not.
Also the Association would like loans for business operators rather than
owners, as many of them lease the locations. He requested staff coordinate
with the County and, in the event the Bank does not perform, we will be
ready to proceed, after sixty days, and not be held up by paperwork. He
also suggested staff set a study session with the Downtown Business Association.

that they are grading the site and the contractor will install curb and gutter
from Main Street to just beyond Dr. Cline's office. Elsinore Valley Municipal
Water District will be placing a major sewer line through Spring Street and
into Sulphur and beyond. Rather than construct improvements at this time, he
plans to prepare the site and as soon as the sewer line is in place, complete
the improvements. The interim surface will be made driveable and the inter- ---
section will be made safe.

warranted at the intersection of Spring and Graham. Mr. Culp will follow-up.

is studying single-lot assessment districts for two Riverside Drive properties.

through plan check.
Mr. Strigotte suggested that a ninety-day call-up time is not realistic.

vision for motorists. Requested Code Enforcement to follow-up, check major
