northerly of and adjacent to Mission Trail.
-- Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing on
resolution declaring intention to vacate a portion of former Railroad Canyon
Road, northerly of and adjacent to Mission Trail.
Mr. Rubel reported that —tie public hearing on this vacation was opened at
the Council Meeting of January 11, 1983 and was continued to January 25,1983.
Staff has reviewed traffic flow in the area of the proposed vacation and
feels the portion of 61d Railroad Canyon Road between Frontier Road and
Lakeshore Drive is too close to existing Railroad Canyon Road to function
safely as a public street and creates traffic conflicts. Mr. Rubel also
clarified the status of the remainder of former Railroad Canyon Road which
was deeded to Mr. Robert G. Williams by Cal- Trans. Staff recommends adoption
of resolution of vacation.
The recording secretary stated no correspondence had been received regarding
the street vacation.

the benefactor of the vacation and would be available to answer any questions.

to vehicular traffic has caused some problems. If vacated, will there be a
barricade so that it will be closed off to vehicular traffic to avoid accidents?
The portable barricades are being ignored. Mr. Porter responded by stating
that if Council approves the vacation, staff should continue in efforts to
diminish any safety hazard until such time as construction begins on the
adjacent property.
Mayor Unsworth asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the
vacation. No one asked to speak.

Moved by Torn, seconded by Knight, to deny the request and require installa-
tion of parking requirements. (Motion and second withdrawn).
f..
Reverend Michael Luke, Pastor of the United Pentecostal Church of Elsinore
spoke to the Council and asked they reconsider his request for the following

52. Request for Refund of Tentative Tract Map 16563 Processing Fees - Fred
Dominguez
Mr. Trevino -reported on Planning Department review of this request. Mr.
Dominguez made application for a tentative parcel map and paid fees of $450.00
on May 20, 1980. The map was approved on January 27, 1981. The delay was
partially the result of confusion caused by conflicting recommendations
between the Engineering and Planning Departments. Tentative Tract Map 16563
expired on July 27, 1982. After reviewing this matter with the city
attorney, staff recommends refunding the full amount of $450.00 to the
applicant.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA,AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO REFUND
THE FULL AMOUNT OF $450.00 TO THE APPLICANT, MR. FRED DOMINGUEZ.

53. Agreement Between the City and the YMCA
Beverly Sommer gave staff report and explained this proposal would be a
cooperative agreement between the City of Lake Elsinore and the YMCA, for use
and scheduling of the Lake Community Center for recreational activities which
would be provided to all the citizens of Lake Elsinore. The YMCA will pay a
rental fee of $1.00 per year for the use of an office in the Community Center.
Staff recommends Council approve and execute agreement with YMCA.
Mr. Len Kaiser, YMCA Board of Directors, stated the Board approved the
contract at their meeting last week.
Ms. Valenzuela stated she is not comfortable with the agreement as it is
written. She would like to see the agreement reworded to clarify the separate
functions and responsibilities of the City and of the YMCA.
Mr. Porter stated he felt the Council needed to determine what the intent of
the agreement is in order to evaluate the agreement.
Mr. Torn stated that cooperative agreements of this nature are based on a
certain amount of trust. However, due to the changes that occur in Councils
and Board of Directors of organizations, the agreement should be more structured
in order to avoid any problems or mis- interpretations in the future.
Ms. Valenzuela also stated that Resolutions 82 -59 and 82 -60 would need to be
amended to reflect use and regulation of the Nutrition Center which is under
construction at the Community Center.
Mr. Knight stated he would like the agreement to specify the exact location of
the office space which the YMCA would occupy within the Lake Community Center.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA,AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE
AGREEMENT IN CONCEPT PENDING ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION OF THE FINAL AGREEMENT
AND DIRECT STAFF TO BRING BACK A NEW AMENDED AGREEMENT OR AN ADDITIONAL
AGREEMENT TO COINCIDE WITH THE EXISTING AGREEMENT AND THE RESOLUTIONS

ADDITION OF THE KITCHEN FACILITY.
54. Review of Conditional Use Permit 82 -3 - Beachcomber R.V. Park - 32401
Stoneman Street
Mr. Trevino reported on July 13, 1982, the City Council approved Conditional
Use Permit 82 -3 subject to nineteen conditions. On the same evening, they
also approved Zone Change 82 -4 rezoning the applicants' R -1 property to R,
so that it could be utilized as part of the R.V. Park. The applicants met
with staff to resolve some of the problems which had to be overcome in
order to obtain approval for this project. Because of the applicants'
willingness to meet City and County requirements, Council approved this
Conditional Use Permit subject,to nineteen conditions recommended by the
Planning Commission, which had to be met prior to operation of the park.
At this time, only a few of these conditions have been met. Staff recom-
mends extension of Conditional Use Permit 82 -3 for six months in order for
applicants to meet the remainder of these conditions and pay all applicable
permit fees.
Mr. Jim Rhoades, 15758 Grand Avenue, Lake Elsinore, spoke on behalf of the
applicants and attempted to update the Council on progress made on some of
the original conditions as well as problems which they had faced in meeting
some of the requirements. Mr. Rhoades also requested Council review and
reconsider the capital improvement fees.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA, AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO TABLE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 82 -3 AND CONTINUE TO FEBRUARY 8, 1983 MEETING.

55. Public Improvements required as a condition of building permits - Policy
on time of installation.
Mr. Rubel reported that in the past there has not been consistency in reacting
to owners requests to defer installation of public improvements. Mr. Rubel
recommended that off -site improvements be installed in conformance with the
following policy:
1. In the normal situation, the public improvements will be installed prior
to obtaining certificate of occupancy.
2. Under certain circumstances, public improvements may be deferred and a �.
recorded agreement accepted to guarantee future installation thereof.
Mr. Rubel recommended adoption of the resolution establishing a policy for
determining the time of installation of public improvements which are re-
quired by Ordinance No. 572 as a condition of a building permit.
Mr. Torn stated he would like the last paragraph of the resolution to be
revised. Discussion followed regarding City Attorney approval on legal doc-
uments which are presented to Council for vote. Mr. Porter stated that it
had been discussed but never resolved as to whether city attorney approval
on documents should be prior to Council action or after Council has been
asked to make a determination.
Consensus of Council was to revise the last paragraph of the resolution
to read:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the public improvements may be deferred due to
existing engineering problems at the site, upon approval of the City Council,
based on recommendation of the City Engineer and concurrence of the City
Manager, and all documents to be approved and signed by the City Attorney
prior to being presented to Council.
MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY KNIGHT, AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO TABLE
THE RESOLUTION AND REFER TO CITY ATTORNEY FOR REVISION AND APPROVAL.
56. Street Improvements at Riverside Drive and Lincoln Street - Change Order
No. 4 and Notice of Completion.
Mr. Rubel reported that in June, 1981, City Council approved a contract with
All American Asphalt for the construction of certain street improvements
along the westerly side of Riverside Drive on both sides of Lincoln Avenue.
Subsequently, three change orders were issued for additional work and
involving additional costs. During the course of construction, the con-
tractor was requested to omit certain portions of the work because right -of-
way was not yet available. By the time the City has acquired the necessary
right -of -way, the contractor had completed all remaining work on the project
and had moved his equipment and crews off the site. The contractor informed
the City that his move -back costs to complete the project would amount to
$4,754.00. Contractor has received payment for all work completed to this
point, less the standard 10% retention. Mr. Rubel recommends processing
a change order deleting all unfinished work, accept the project as complete,
file a Notice of Completion, and pay the 10% retention sum 30 days after
the Notice of Completion has been recorded. The remainder of work on this
project can be accomplished more reasonably and efficiently through informal
bids from contractors who are working on local subdivisions and would not
require excessive equipment move -in costs.
Council asked Mr. Rubel for clarification of what work was remaining on the
project. After discussion, Mr. Rubel stated he felt the remainder of this
job would cost approximately $3,000 to $5,000 and could be accomplished
through informal bids.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY UNSWORTH AND CARRIED TO APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 4.
AYES: KNIGHT, MAC MURRAY, TORN, UNSWORTH
NOES: VALENZUELA
ABSENT: NONE
ABSTENTIONS: NONE
Mr. Knight commented that as Council has stated in the past, we are absolutely
against contractors coming back with change orders because they under -bid the
job on material or for any other reason.

Council concurred to have city crews place a small amount of black -top to level

COUNCIL CONCURRED TO TAKE A BREAK AT 9:28 p.m.
COUNCIL RECONVENED AT 9:40 p.m.
57. Swick Park Improvements - Change Order No. 1
Mr. Rubel reported the contract for this project was awarded to Allied
Sprinkler Co, on November 18, 1982 and included fencing and backstops for
both Senior League and Little League fields as well as lighting for the
Little League field only. Staff has determined that a portion of the 20 foot
length of fencing adjacent to the Senior League field backstop should be six
feet higher at an additional cost of $400.00.
Council discussion followed with regard to the type of backstops which were
being installed at the Jark. Council would like to see backstops of a newer
modern design which would enhance and upgrade the facility. Mr. Rubel stated
that he would consult with the contractor to see if it would be possible to
switch to a new design and what the additional cost would be.
Council concurred to have this item continued and brought back at the next
Council meeting in two weeks.
58. City Council to Act as Appeals Board
Mr. Trevino reviewed staff report and recommended the City Council appoint
themselves as the permanent Housing Advisory and Appeals Board as this would
eliminate one administrative step of an appeals procedure for unsafe building
abatement. By Council accepting the responsibility for Appeals Board matters,
it would alleviate a request to have the matter reheard by Council. These
matters would be set to coincide with City Council meetings and would be heard
prior to regular Council business. With Council acting as the Appeals Board,
the matter would then be at its last administrative hearing and would elimin-
ate the duplication of staff time.
MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY MAC MURRAY, AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY THAT THE
CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS BE APPOINTED AS PERMANENT HOUSING ADVISORY AND APPEALS
BOARD.

60. Roof Pitch Ordinance and Litigation
Mr. Porter reported in late 1981, Edward Watt made application for a mobile/
manufactured home, which was denied for several reasons, but particularly
because of insufficient roof pitch. On administrative appeal to the City
Council, the Design Review Board denial was affirmed and Mr. Watt's appeal
was denied. Mr. Watt subsequently filed a lawsuit against the City,
challenging the validity of Ordinance 621, requiring a 4 -12 roof pitch, and
seeking damages. A motion for summary judgment was scheduled to be heard on
January 18, 1983. The pending motion against the City was denied. Mr. Porter
suggested since this involved a matter of litigation, Council may wish to
consider this item in closed session.
Mayor Unsworth stated he saw no problem in discussing the matter at this time.
He stated he was in favor of the new ordinance which would amend Ordinance
No. 621 requiring a 4 inch to 12 inch (4 -12) roof pitch. He,,,,voted against
Ordinance No. 621 because he felt it went against the idea of State law which
allowed mobile homes to be placed on any R -1 lot. At the time, mobile home
manufacturers did not make a,structure with a 4 -12 roof pitch. Also, Cal -trans
confirmed the height of -these structures would normally prevent their passing
under freeway overpasses and make transporting mobile homes extremely diffi-
cult. Ordinance No. 621 was passed in an effort to eliminate indiscriminate
movement of mobile homes onto R -1 lots throughout the City. However, since
the Design Review Board must approve all building projects within the City,
this would afford the community adequate protection against indiscriminate
placement of any undesireable structures in established residential areas.
Mr. Torn stated he voted in favor of Ordinance 621 and the 4 -12 roof pitch and
opposes the new ordinance. He said Ordinance 621 did work as a deterent to
mobile home movement onto single R -1 lots for a time. Presently, however,
the mobile home industry has been manufacturing many homes with the 4 -12 roof
pitch. He opposes any change in roof pitch requirements.
Larry. Knight stated he was against Ordinance 621 because he saw no need for a %Mao
4 -12 roof pitch except-for loading, as in areas of heavy snowfall. Government
Code SB 1960 states that requirements imposed on mobile home structures shall
be limited to roof overhang, roof material and siding matter only.
Ms. Valenzuela stated, in her opinion, a 4 -12 roof pitch is not necessary in
Southern California and the City has no right to place this kind of restriction
on builders.
Mr. Torn pointed out the old ordinance did not attempt to discriminate against
mobile homes but to require all residential dwellings to have a 4 -12 roof pitch.
Moved by Knight, seconded by Valenzuela that all references to roof pitch on
single - family residences be eliminated as a requirement of constructing that
residence.

ABSENT: NONE

Motion did not pass.
TORN, VALENZUELA, UNSWORTH
Mr. Unsworth reiterated that he feels the original ordinance was an attempt to
eliminate mobile home movement into the City and is not in accordance with
State law. This could result'in future litigation and he does not want the ....
City to be party to a legal action.
Mr. Torn stated, in his opinion, the State should not have the right to dictate
to a community where they can allow mobile homes to be placed. This should be
a matter for local jurisdiction.
MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY MAC MURRAY TO READ THE ROOF PITCH ORDINANCE
BY TITLE ONLY.

from riding bikes on sidewalks as they are a hazard to senior citizens as well as
