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.

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.

Council concurred to hear Item 33 before Item 32. 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. .... 307 Page six City Council Minutes February 14, 1984 PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued. - 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. 00 I.... l'- 1-;:) ~ o 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.- ~OB Page seven City Council Minutes February 14, 1984 PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued. 33.

Weed Abatement - - Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for the public hearing of weed abatement and asked staff to identify the issues and give staff' recommendations. Mr. Trevino reported there will be a complete presentation at the next Council meeting and asked that this be continued until February 28, 1984.

He stated he would be happy to answer any questions Mr. Sanchez may have. ..- Mr. William Sanchez thanked Council and City staff for the work that has been done on the fields. He invited Council to attend the Little League opening day ceremonies on March 31, 1984. He expressed concern regarding lighting, completion of the snack bar, and availability of these facilities for Little League games. Mr. Trevino assured Mr. Sanchez that all the facilities would be complete and available for the Little League program. 309 Page ei ght City Council Minutes February 14, 1984 BUSINESS ITEMS - Continued. 52. Detachment from Lake Elsinore Parks and Recreation District. ~ QO I"- 1-:> ~ 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.

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. !310 Page nine City Council Minutes February 14, 1984 BUSINESS ITEMS - Continued. 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.

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. .- 311 Page ten City Council Minutes February 14, 1984 BUSINESS ITEMS - Continued. 55.

Business License - Yankee Dollar Towing and Wrecking -Floyd Bridges. 00 l'- l'- '-;) Cl 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.
