PUBLIC HEARINGS
31.
Deodara Trees on Machado Street.
-
Mayor Valenzuela announced this was the time and place for public hearing
regarding removal of the Deodara Cedar Trees along Machado Street and
asked staff to report.
Mr. Molendyk reported that in January, 1985 the subject was raised
regarding the hazard to vehicular traffic posed by the Deodara trees along
Machado Street. After researching this problem, it would appear that other
questions should also be addressed. A determination needs to be made
as to whether Machado should be a local street or a collector street. In
order to deal effectively with the Deodara trees, we must first deal with
the use of Machado Street. Staff recommends a complete traffic study be
done on Machado Street. Once this is completed, further recommendations
can be made regarding the Deodara trees.
The City Clerk read a letter from Mauno Salo, 15125 Grand Avenue, Lake
Elsinore, in favor of saving the Deodara trees and lowering the speed limit
along Machado Street.
Mayor Valenzuela opened the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. asking those in
favor of saving the Deodora trees to speak. The following persons spoke:
1. Peggy Taylor, 567 Highlands Road, Lake Elsinore, read a letter from
Tom Hudson, 201 South Poe Street,Lake Elsinore, in favor of retaining
the trees and reducing the speed limit on Machado Street.
2. John McDermitt, 31260 Orange Street, Lake Elsinore.

3. Sherry Nickell, 683 Parkview Drive, Lake Elsinore, submitted an
additional one-hundred-sixty-five (165) signatures in favor of
keeping the trees.
4. Phillip Taylor, 567 Highlands Road, Lake Elsinore, commented that the
Deodara trees are native to the Western Himalyas and are not indiginous
to the United States and will only grow in California and the southern
states. The trees add beauty, shade and act as a wind break. Because
of their deep tap root, they have excellent drought tolerance. The
wood is extremely durable, used in closets, chests, furniture and rail-
road ties. Because of its almost supernatural quality, the Hindu call
it the timber of the gods. The trees act as a bird habitat. They
use C02 and release oxygen thus cleaning the air. These trees are
listed as historical resources by the State Department of Parks and
Recreation and are valued at between five and ten thousand dollars each.
Mr. Taylor submitted pictures of other cities which have saved their
trees which were in similar locations, adjacent to streets. Mr. Taylor
thanked the City Council and City Manager for the time spent with the
community on this project.
5. Carol Messano, 928 Marsha Court, Lake Elsinore, urged Council to retain
the Deodara trees.

,
6. Pete Hasboon, 681.Parkview Drive, Lake Elsinore, commented on the
beauty of the trees and country-like atmosphere they provide. He
encouraged saving the trees.
Mayor Valenzuela asked those in opposition to saving the Deodora trees to
speak. Hearing no one, the public hearing was closed at 7:29 p.m.

FACIE SPEED LIMIT ON MACHADO STREET FROM GRAND AVENUE TO

-
Council discussion followed regarding the 45 MPH speed limit being too
fast for a residential street where a school is located.
Mr. Strigotte commented that speed surveys must be consistent with the
speed limit which is established in order for the court to uphold the
issuance of traffic citations. The recent speed survey which was done
on Machado shows that the flow of traffic is currently 45 MPH. Possibly
in the future, the speed limit can be lowered further.

NOES: KNIGHT
ORDINANCE NO. 749
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING EMERGENCY RULES AND REGULATIONS RE-
LATING TO THE USE OF CERTAIN PORTIONS OF LAKE ELSINORE.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
1. Mr. Molendyk stated that with regard to flood waters along Lakeshore, Mr.
Keith has some alternatives he would like to present to Council prior to
making final recommendations on 1985/86 street improvements. He suggested
a study session be scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on July 9, 1985, prior to the
regular Council meeting. Council concurred.
CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilman Knight:
1. Suggested that Campus Street between Pottery and .Sumner be considered
for a street improvement project.
2. Stated that the Mayor had received a letter from Assemblyman Steve Clute,
requesting a replica of our City Seal which he would like to hang in his
Sacramento office. Mr. Knight has contacted the artist, Roxanne McCauley
who made the original seal which is in the front of City Hall and she
can make 20" replicas at a cost of $80.00 for the first and $60.00 for
all additional orders. It was mentioned that two samples were made up
several months ago by the artist and possibly those could be used without
incurring additional cost. Mr. Knight will follow-up.
Councilman Matson:
1. Commented on four-corners traffic signalization. Mr. Keith reported that
he has been tn contact with Caltrans and they indicate that the intersection
does not meet our warrants but it is close. Caltrans would be willing to
share the cost of signalization with the City which would amount to seventy
thousand ($70,000) each, a total cost of one-hundred-forty-thousand dollars
C$140,QOO}. We could apply to FAU for funds which takes approximately
eight to ten months and these Federal funds would pay up to eighty-seven
percent of the total cost, leaving a balance to be paid by the City~~f
only nine-thousand dollars ($9,OOO). Mr. Matson suggested thdt this should
be a top priority.
2. Requested an update on the master plan of trails for the west end of the
lake. Mr. Corcoran reported that he has been working with the Wilsey's
to establish'a trail system that matches the County trails system back
in the canyon areas which would be for horses and bicycles, non-motorized
vehicles. Staff is attempting to coordinate this effort.
3. Commented on General Plan amendments which are allowed four times each year.
He requested that a study session be scheduled prior to these General Plan
amendments in order to get Council and public input,regarding needed changes.
He commented that an area of eight acres off Grand Avenue is designated
high density and should possibly be changed. Also, he feels the Airport
should be looked at and possibly changed from Airport Specific Plan to
Commercial/Industrial designation.

approved by the Board of Supervisors, which will alleviate flooding on the

Engineer to coordinate with the County to assure that the lake perimeter
side of the project which is in the city limits, is not adversely affected.

Little League game on Monday night. The final score was 3 - 0 in favor
