PUBLIC COMMENTS
1) Lee Allen, 270 Avenue 9, Lake Elsinore, stated he disagrees with Councilman
Matson's opinion that we need more residential development in the City before
commercial and industrial projects will come in. He also feels the Planning
Commission and City Council have made it too difficult for commercial and
industrial projects.

Board be dissolved. He feels it serves no purpose.
3) Don Burnell, 32251 Corydon Road, Lake Elsinore, commented that the City has
required two restaurants to remove portable toilets. He feels that people

plates.
6) Doug Roberts, 17183 Shrier Drive, Lake Elsinore, commented on an article in
the Canyon Lake News regarding the flood control plan.
Mr. Roberts also questioned the price of copies requested from City offices.

City is harassing businesses who have furnished portable toilets at their own ---
expense.

of cable service to many homes in the area in recent weeks. In addition to
the power failures in the area, several incidents have occured invo1ving theft

54. Request to Maintain Occupancy of Travel Trailer - 100 Lakeshore Drive.
Mr. Corcoran reported the subject property was, at one time, a recreational
vehicle trailer park known as 'Downtown Camping'. Due to non-conformance
with State and City code requirements, the owner was refused licensing until
health and safety regulations were brought into compliance. An appeal was
granted and the former owner was granted occupancy of an existing residential
structure, subject to installation and maintenance of preventive health and
safety measures. Re-operation of the trailer park is not an approved use,
thereby, any trailer being occupied is an infraction of City Municipal Code
and State park requirements on licensing.
The current owner, Ms. Gisela M. Henkel, has refused to comply with removal
of the existing occupied trailer. She has requested permission to maintain
the existing trailer for a caretaker's residence.
Staff recommends Council deny request to occupy and maintain the use of
caretaker's travel trailer. Trailers to be removed immediately until the
owner receives approval from Council, under Conditional Use Permit procedure.
Existing, abandoned house located thereon, to be brought up to City and
State code, by permit, for habitation/occupancy. Housing abatement procedures
to be initiated simultaneously. If habitation/occupancy and Certificate of
Occupancy is not obtained within six months, abatement notification and
demolition to be continued/finaled by ordinance procedure.
Entire property to be cleaned and cleared of all debris immediately.

background and reasons for Ms. Henkel's request. He urged Council to reconsider

cannot be removed until the estate is settled.

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS - Continued.
Mr. Culp - Continued.
2. The only intersection which warrants a traffic signal, based on Cal-Trans
guidelines, is Riverside Drive and Lakeshore.
-
Mr. Culp recommended that prior to installation of traffic signal at Riverside
Drive and Lakeshore and four-way stop at Lakeshore and Machado, we review with
Cal-Trans, coordinate with the County and perform a formal traffic study done
by an engineering consultant.
Mr. Strigotte commented on the traffic study report and feels that we have
ample justification for four-way stop signs at all the intersections which were
studied. The results of the study are not conclusive, for the following reasons:
0 1) School system is mandating that childred living within one mile are required
0 to walk to and from school.
2) Some intersections have no sidewalks and ch i 1 dren wi 11 be walking during
(Y') peak traffic hours.
W 3) All accident reports have not been given to the City. In the future, all
CD reports will be sent to the City Engineer.
<t 4) Traffic Counters were tampered with.
Mr. Strigotte requested resolutions authorizing five four-way stop signs be
presented at the next Council meeting. Also, before school begins, crosswalks
at intersections need to be painted. He commented that the intersections of
Lincoln and Machado and Collier and Central need to be reviewed.
-
3. Mr. Culp reported that a member of his staff, John Riley, has informed him that
we may be eligible for federal funds for a city-wide traffic control inventory,
which will include recommendations for signing and signalization. There is also
the potential for receiving a computer, plotter, printer and software, so that
we can maintain an on-going record of traffic engineering problems within the
City. Mr. Culp will update Council as this project proceeds.
r~r. Corcoran
1. Reported that on August 27, 1984 he received a copy of a Memorandum of Donation
from the Santa Fe Railroad. The Railroad proposed to donate approximately
14,472 square feet of underlying station ground land plus approximately 2180
feet of trackage located at Peck and Spring Streets. This will be brought back
to Council for approval and acceptance of donation.
2. Reported that on August 23, 1984 he met with Marshall Melvin regarding "Marshall's
Hard Work Program", also known as "Community Service Program". Through this
program, the Courts direct persons guilty of mild offenses to participate in
community service work programs. The program is currently being revamped by
the County Marshall's Office and they would like to know if the City of Lake
Elsinore desires to continue utilizing this program.
CONSENSUS: Continue the Community Service Program.

the persons in the audience at Council meetings who have nowhere to sit.

measures can be taken. Also the City Attorney is reviewing the Tilley Agreement

how much FEMA will allow us to do, within the guidelines of our own ordinance.
