31. Ramsgate Specific Plan - Sutterfield Development Corporation - 1212 Acre
Development Allowing Maximum of 2975 Dwelling Units with Commercial and
Recreational Uses - North of 1-15, East of Highway 74.
Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing
pursuant to the application of Ramsgate Specific Plan and asked staff to
identify the property or issues and give staff recommendations.
Mr. Trevino reported this project has been continued from February 7, 1984
in order to allow more time for review by Council, School Board members,
Developers and Staff. Staff recommends approval of the Ramsgate Specific
Plan subject to revisions by the various agencies.
The City Clerk stated her office has received a letter from the Elsinore
Union High School District concerning proposed mitigation of adverse school
impact. Another letter has been received from J.H. Fry, Acting General
Manager of the Lake Elsinore Recreation and Park District, expressing the
District's support of the Ramsgate project.

PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued.
31. Ramsgate Specific Plan - Butterfield Development Corporation - Continued.
Dan Salceda, representing Butterfield Development, commented that the
Developers have had communication witb the High School District regarding
school mitigation measures and agreed that any approval of this project
be subject to a letter of agreement from the High School District which
should be submitted within five to seven days. He also suggested that if '
Council approves the Specific Plan tonight, they also certify the Environmental ...
Impact Report. Mr. Salcedo urged Council to approve the Ramsgate Specific
Plan subject to the amended conditions.
Jim Bartholomew, representing the Lake Elsinore School District, stated the
School District is not taking a position favoring or opposing the Ramsgate
Project, however he submitted a letter, for the record. The Develooers have
been very cooperative and have reached an agreement with the School' District,
in concept, which will be executed in further written agreements. With
these additional understandings incorporated as part of the approvals of
the Environmental Impact Report and Specific Plan, the Lake Elsinore School
District can support the approval of Ramsgate Specific Plan.
Berdine Swan, Assistant Superintendent of the Lake Elsinore High School District,
stated the High School District has met on several occasions with the Developers,
however, do not have a written agreement at this time. Therefore, she asked,
if Council approves the Specific Plan, approval should be subject to a final
written agreement with the High School District. She stated that Ramsgate
Developers and the District are very close to final agreement and this should
be completed very soon.
Mayor Unsworth asked those in opposition to Ramsgate Specific Plan to speak.
Eugene Carter, 109 Lowell, representing the Home of Peace Cemetery, commented
on the problem of water run-off affecting the Cemetery. He submitted a letter ---
urging Council to delay approval of the Ramsgate project for further review.
Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m.
Discussion
Mr. Rubel stated that storm water run-off from the Ramsgate project will not
impact either of the two local cemeteries. Approximately 80% of the run-off
from this project will flow into Wasson Canyon.
Mr. Torn stated there were some points of clarification to be considered.
On January 31, 1984 a meeting took place between Ramsgate Developers and the
City. A condition was agreed upon that the Developer would pay a $350.00
per lot drainage mitigation fee. Developer recommends the drainage mitigation
fees collected be deposited into a Storm Drain Capital Improvement Fund,
earmarked for storm drains. Council concurred.
Another condition which was agreed upon referred to plan check fees. The
Developer requested assurance from Council that at some future time Council
would consider a Developer Agreement specifying that plan check fees would be
frozen or some negotiated structure be established. Council concurred.
Another agreed upon condition states that Ramsgate will provide facilities
for a Fire Station and a Library. Ramsgate would like the advantage of de-
preciating these facilities, theoretically over fifteen years, during which ...
time the City would lease from Ramsgate for $1.00 per year, until fully depre-
ciated, at which time the facilities would be deeded to the City. Council
concurred.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE
RAMSGATE SPECIFIC PLAN AND CERTIFY THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, SUBJECT
TO WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM BOTH SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

33. Zone Change 84-1 - Pre-zoning for Annexation No. 33 - Art Nelson.
Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing
pursuant to the application of Zone Change 84-1 - Pre-zoning for Annexation
No. 33 and asked staff to identify the property and give staff recommenda-
tions.
Mr. Trevino reported that Zone Change 84-1 is a proposal to pre-zone 381
acres presently located in the County, southerwesterly of the intersection
of Lincoln and Machado Streets, to R-l (Single-Family Residential). This
pre-annexation zone change is being filed in conjunction with Annexation
No. 33. Both proposals are related to Tentative Tract Map 19402 which
proposes to subdivide approximately 38 acres into 132 residential single-
fami'ly lots. Since subject parcel lies within the City's sphere of in-
fluence, the pre-zoning proposal and subsequent Annexation No. 33 conform
with the intent Of the General Plan.
....
Planning Commission recommends approval of Zone Change 84-1 subject to
the following conditions:
1. A finding of conformance to the General Plan.
2. No significant impact upon the environment.
3. Issuance of a Negative Declaration.
Planning Commission also recommended first reading of an Ordinance enacting
Zone Change 84-1. This Ordinance for pre-zoning will enable the applicant
to meet City and LAFCO pre-zoning requirements prior to application to
LAFCO for annexation of this area into the City of Lake Elsinore.
The City Clerk reported no correspondence has been received by the City
Clerk's Office regarding this project.
Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. asking those in favor
of Zone Change 84-1 to speak.
Fred Crowe, Butterfield Surveys, representing the applicant, stated he had
prepared the Tentative Map and applications for the pre-annexation zone
change. He stated the current County zoning for this parcel is R-l allowing
7200 square foot lots. The proposal is for R-l zoning in the City which
would allow a minimum lot size of 6000 square feet. However, the sub-
division, as proposed, has no lots under 7500 square feet. The flood control
measures which are necessary for this area require the proposed density
to support the required improvements.

33. Zone Change 84-1 - Pre-zoning for Annexation No. 33 - Art Nelson - Continued.
Art Nelson, 23911 Innesbrook Lane, Laguna Niguel, applicant, commented that
many homeowners have expressed concerns regarding the density of this pro-
posed project and the fact that the northwest side of Machado is predominantly
horse property. He sited several older and newer tracts in the area which
are not horse properties and have lots as small as 6000 square feet.

Mr. Nelson also commented that, as a condition of approval of this project,
he is being required to extend the Leach Canyon Channel and fully improve it,
at a cost of approximately $250,000. Much of the flood control problems in
the area result from water run-off created by housing tracts located in the
County.
Mayor Unsworth asked those in opposition to Zone Change 84-1 to speak.
David Nance, 30523 Audelo Street, Lake Elsinore, addressed Council regarding
the proposed density of the project and compatibility with existing devel-
opments in the area.
Rita Wilsey, 15015 Lincoln, stated she is opposed to the density proposed
in the Machado area, as this is considered by many as the nicest side of
La ke El s i nore.
Jim Eriser, 15170 Saint Clara, Lake Elsinore, addressed the problem of
flood control and the affects on downstream property owners of such a large
project.
Joline Barons, 4072 Crestview Avenue, Lake Elsinore, stated that within the
last year and one-half, 150 new homes have been built within a half mile
radius of her residence. She urged Council to approve no smaller than
one-half acre lot size developments on the northwest side of Machado. This
would allow the area to retain it's rural atmosphere.
Eugene Carter, 109 Lowell, Lake Elsinore, commented that not enough work has
been done on McVickers Canyon.
Al Wilsey, 15015 Lincoln, Lake Elsinore, spoke, not in opposition to the
Annexation, but the density which this project proposes.
Deborah-Nance, 30523 Audelo Street, Lake Elsinore, opposed the density of
this project due to the adverse affect it would have on schools and the
traffic problems which would be created.
Lee Allen, 270 Avenue 9, Lake Elsinore, asked if it is feasible to approve
such a large project, considering the impact it will have on the community.
Karen Snyder, 150 Pennsylvania Street, Amber Ridge Tract, stated there have
been many septic failures in this area. She also expressed concern that
there is no neighborhood park for families with small children.
Pam Erizer, 15170 Saint Clara Street, Lake Elsinore, stated she is in opposi-
tion to the parcel sizes of this project which would not be compatible with
surrounding developments.
Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 8:43 p.m.
Discussion -
Council discussion ensued regarding flood control problems and sewer avail-
ability in this area. It was clarified that this tract will be on sewer.
Mr. Torn commented that this item is a proposal for pre-annexation zone
change and feels the City would have much better control of the project than
if it were to remain in the County.-

Detachment from Lake Elsinore Parks and Recreation District.

~
o
Mr. Trevino reported that at the present time, the Lake Elsinore Parks and
Recreation District is charged with the responsibility of providing recrea-
tional services to the City of Lake Elsinore residents. For some time,
Council has been extremely concerned about the level of recreational services
that have been provided. Meetings have been set up with the City and the
District, but no acceptable solution has been reached. Staff therefore
recommends Council instruct City Manager and City Attorney to commence pro-
ceedings for the City of Lake Elsinore to detach themselves from the Lake
Elsinore Park and Recreation District. -Staff further recommends Council
encumber $3,000 from the unappropriated reserve in order to meet the required
filing fees to the Local Agency Formation Commission and the State Board of
Equalization. If this detachment takes place, staff intends to prepare a
report and recommend establishing a Parks and Recreation Commission which
would be the recommending body to the City Council regarding recreational
activities. This Commission would serve in a similar capacity as the Planning
Commission.
Eugene Carter, 109 Lowell, spoke in support of City separation from the Lake
Elsinore Park and Recreation District.
Jack Fry, General Manager, Lake Elsinore Park and Recreation District, asked
Council to consider carefully the recommendation to separate from the
District due to possible loss of revenue currently provided through the
District. The Park District is still working to resolve some of the
existing problems.
Lee Allen, 270 Avenue 9, commented in favor of the City separating from the
Park District as their recreational programs have been inadequate to meet
the City's needs.
John Porter recommended that if Council takes this action to detach from
the District, the action should be for detachment or dissolution of the
Park District. This would allow the City more options.
Council discussion followed regarding the need for recreation programs in
the City..
Mr. Porter recommended Council direct staff to commence proceedings for
detachment from or dissolution of the Park District. In addition, if
Council concurs, staff should also be directed to start a City program
which will go hand in hand with any eventual dissolution. Mr. Porter
suggested a time frame of 30 days to prepare necessary paper work as well
as for preliminary report on creating City recreation program. -
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO DIRECT STAFF
TO COME BACK WITH MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON DISSOLUTION OR DETACHMENT
FROM THE LAKE ELSINORE PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT.

53. Resolution of Intent - Mortgage Revenue Bonds.
Counci1member Torn asked to be excused from the table at 10:24 p.m. due
to a possible conflict of interest.
Mr. Trevino reported, in order to meet the current and emerging housing
needs of this community, it is encumbent upon the public sector to assist
the private sector in order to meet these needs. This resolution of intent
to issue mortgage revenue bonds is for the purpose of providing financing
for a multi-family rental housing development. The developer, Barclays
Inland Empire, is proposing a l50-unit rental housing development situated
on Grand Avenue, west of Riverside Drive.

53. Resolution of Intent - Mortgage Revenue Bonds - Continued.
In issuing these bonds, the City of Lake Elsinore does not incur any
financial liability. The bonds will "be backed solely by the project and
the economic strength of the developer. The City merely acts as an
instrument whereby these bonds can be issued, as only the public sector
has the authority to issue bonds.
--
Staff feels this development would be of great benefit to our community
and recommends Council adopt the resolution of intent.

54. Bids for Water Line Extensions.
Mr. Rubel reported that on November 8, 1983, Council authorized staff to
solicit bids for three waterline extensions:
--
1. A 12-inch line from Country Club Drive to Mill Street.
2. A 12-inch line from future well site to intersection of Dawes Street
and Avenue 9.
3. A 6-inch line in Eleanor Street.
On February 6, 1984, two bids were received as follows:
MBC Constructors, Ltd., Lake Elsinore
S & S Construction, Valley Center
$65,176.48
$11 2 ,000. 00
The low bidder, MBC Constructors, Ltd., did not include the required ten
percent bid bond, therefore, City Attorney advised that the low bid is
invalid and the great disparity between the two bids justifies rejection
of the bids and readvertising.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO REJECT ALL
BIDS AND READVERTISE FOR WATER LINE EXTENSIONS.
55. Intent for General Plan Amendment - Krouse Builders - Proposal for 50-
Unit Apartment Complex - North of Pottery Between Lindsay and Kellogg Streets.
Mr. Trevino reported that the applicant requested and received a zone
change on the subject property on September 8,1981. The zone change from
R-2 to R-3 and the 50-Unit apartment complex were approved by the Planning
Commission and the Design Review Board on July 21,1981. On December 14,
1982, the City adopted a new General Plan which designated subject
property as Medium Density with maximum of 26 units that can be constructed.
Proposed project is in conformance with surrounding land use and would
provide a buffer between downtown and residential development. Applicant
also proposed to reconstruct public restrooms at Yarborough Park adjacent
to said project.
Council stated they would like to see a written condition that applicant
reconstruct restrooms at Yarborough Park.
Mr. Trevino stated this could be a condition of the building permit.

Q
Mr. Corcoran reported this is a request to locate an auto wrecking and
salvage yard on approximately 1.28 acres in an M-l (Manufacturing) zone.
An auto wrecking/salvage yard is stated as a permitted use in an M-l
Zone, subject to discretionary review by Council. The General Plan des-
ignates this area as Limited Industrial which is compatible with an M-l
designation.
The Planning Commission, at its meeting of February 7, 1984, reached a
tie vote as to the recommendation of this business license. If Council
approves applicant's business license, staff recommends the following
conditi ons:
1. Finding of conformance to current General Plan.
2. Issuance of a Negative Declaration.
3. Finding of no significant impact upon the environment.
4. Applicant to construct a six (6) foot high decorative block wallar
equivalent of a design approved by the Planning Department upon all
sides of applicant's property.
5. Provide parking area as required by Planning Department.
6. Landscaping will be provided adjacent outside walls, as approved
by Planning Department.
7. Approval of this use in no way constitutes approval of any office
buildings (temporary or other).
8. Applicant shall record a 20 foot wide easement for ingress/egress
purposes on Assessor's Parcel No. 377-120-004.
Discussion
Council discussed several aspects of this project.
Floyd Bridges, applicant, stated the Planning Department issued a business
license on January 13, 1984 and on that basis, the State issued an auto
wrecking license on January 19, 1984. He committed himself to an eight-
year lease based on the issuance of these licenses. Ten days after these
licenses were issued, he started building a fence, after checking with
the Planning Department and being told no permit for the fence was necessary;
A few days later, Planning Department contacted him and informed him there
had been an error and he would have to stop building the fence. He was
asked to go before the Planning Commission to clear up the problem.
Mr. Bridges stated that due to a staff error he now has $30,000 invested
in his project and urged Council to approve his business license.
