Offer of house to City at corner of Main and Heald Streets Mr. Torn felt the offer of the house to the city is contingent on the City's waiver of a five (5) foot dedication on Heald Avenue. Mr. Trevino stated the item has already been handled. It was handled at the Planning Commission level. Mr. Trevino explained the offer is not contingent upon the waiver. Staff has.worked out a solution for the waiver, however, -the item does need to come before the Council. Mr. Trevino stated that 5 Wheel Investment has agreed to a three (3) foot dedication and that will place their building within the bounds of the code.

Weed Abatement Report and Resolution Ms. Valenzuela felt that the public hearing date of March 22nd, 1983, would be too late in order to start the weed abatement process. Ms. Valenzuela stated she was told the March 22nd date was due to legal advertising requirements. Ms Valenzuela felt the city should act as soon as possible in abating the weeds. Discussion ensued regarding year-round weed abatement, and providing the property owners with an estimate of the cost of the city abating the weeds. __ RESOLUTION NO. 83-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING THAT CERTAIN WEEDS, RUBBISH, REFUSE AND DIRT, AS DEFINED IN SECTION 39560 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND ORDINANCE NO. 532, CONSTITUTE A NUISANCE AND REQUIRE A NOTICE TO BE GIVEN TO THE PROPERTY OWNER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 13, PART 2, DIVISION 3 OF TITLE 4 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND ORDINANCE NO. 532, AND PROVIDING FOR POSTING OF NOTICE OF PROPERTY OWNERS AND PROVIDING FOR A HEARING DN OBJECTIONS, TOGETHER WITH THE FILING OF COST REPORTS AND ASSESSMENTS AGAINST ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS.

Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing pursuant to the application of Southern Pacific Land for a rezone of .67 acres from R-l to C-l between 1-15 and Casino Drive. Mr. Trevino reported the applicants received approval of Zone Change 82-2, approximately '13 acres situated between 1-15 and Frontier Road. At that time, ~ the applicants asked the .67 acre parcel be included, however 'were notified that such action would require a new public hearing.

Mr. Torn stated he had first submitted this tra~t as a property owner and is no longer associated with the property or the applicant, but would like to excuse himself from the matter as a Councilmember. Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing pursuant to the application of James Thompson for a 5.52 acre recorded Tract east of Machado Street, south of Dolly Drive, north of Leach Canyon Flood Control Channel. Mr. Trevino reported the applicant originally submitted a lot line adjustment to revise recorded Tract 14706. The intention of the lot line adjustment was to: 1) eliminate Lake Crest Drive as a dead-end street and knuckle it into Dolly Drive, providing internal circulation between Tract 14706 and Tract 18048; 2) Revising the lot lines on Lots 16 through 19 to account for the knuckle radius and to enlarge the lots to include the area formerly used as dead-end; and 3) Re- vising sewer and drainage easement. - 41 Page Four City Council Minutes Feoruary 22, 1983 PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued. 32. Amendment to Tract 14706 - Continued. ,- Mr. Trevino stated on February 14, 1983, staff received a copy of a letter sent to the applicant from the Elsinore Union High School District. The letter accompanied an agreement between the applicant and the School District for the applicant's signature. It is the standard agreement applied to new subdivision and extension requests. In Section 66472.1, the Subdivision Map Act states that lithe legislative body shall confirm the hearing to consideration of and action on the proposed modification". This may preclude attaching any new conditions to the amendment, thereby making any agreement between the School District and the applicant permissive rather than mandatory. Mr. Trevino stated staff concurs with the proposed amendment for the following reasons: The amendment will result in better land planning since less area will be utilized by streets; better circulation since a dead-end street will be eliminated and traffic will be contained internally between Tracts 14706 and 18048 and a more aesthetically appealing subdivision due to improvement to lot configurations and attractive street re-working. The City Clerk stated no correspondence has been received regarding the amendment to Tract 14706. ,--. Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. asking those in favor of the amendment to Tract Map 14706 to speak. Fred Crowe of Butterfield Surveys, representing the applicant, feels that the map will create a much more attractive street, especially in the knuckle area where the street used to go down to a dead-end at the channel. He is hopeful the Council will concur with the Planning Commission. Mayor Unsworth asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the amendment to Tract 14706. No one asked to speak. Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 8:07 p.m. Mr. Unsworth asked a question regarding the revision of the sewer easement and asked Mr. Crowe to explain its location. Mr. Crowe stated a sewer easement was originally proposed at Dolly Drive up to the adjacent subdivision. The sewer easement was originally the full width of the street, 25 feet. It is proposed to reduce the easement to 15 feet. Mr. Crowe feels the width would be adequate to hold the sewer line without interfering with the lots. -' Mr. Knight asked if the name of Lake Crest Drive was changed to Mari Drive. Mr. Crowe stated that the seller of the property felt that if all the streets in the subdivision had women's names, it might be helpful in assisting people in locating the area. It was also felt that because Lake Crest did not go all the way through, it might cause some confusion if emergency vehicles were called to the area. - MOVED BY KNIGHT, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE M~ENDMENT TO TRACT 14706 WITH THE FOLLOWING CHANGES: 1. ELIMINATE LAKE CREST DRIVE AS A DEAD-END STREET AND KNUCKLE IT INTO DOLLY DRIVE, PROVIDING INTERNAL CIRCULATION BETWEEN TRACT 14706 AND TRACT 18048. 2. REVISE THE LOT LINES ON LOTS 16 THROUGH 19 TO ACCOUNT FOR THE KNUCKLE RADIUS AND TO ENLARGE THE LOTS TO INCLUDE THE AREA FORMERLY USED AS DEAD-END. 3. REVISE SEWER AND DRAINAGE EASEMENT. Counci1member Torn abstained from voting. 4~ Page. five " City Council Minutes 'February 22, 1983 PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued. 33. Conditional Use Permit 83-1: Harvey&Co., request to use three (3) Off-site Advertising Signs not allowed for in the City's Sign Ordinance. Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing pursuant to the applicant of Harvey & Company to use three office site advertising signs not allowed for in the City's Siqn Ordinance. Mr. Trevino reported Harvey and Company placed several sign structures around the City to advertise a new housing tract being built in the County. The ___ applicant did not secure permits for the signs, warnings were issued and the Code Enforcement Officer directed the applicant to comply. Since the applicant was adamant in securing a decision on the use of the three disallowed sions, staff felt that a Conditional Use Permit was the most appropriate instrument with which to process the request. The Planning Commission recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 83-1 until June 1, 1983, subject to the applicant placing a bond with the City to secure removal of the signs. The City Clerk reported that no correipondence has been received regarding Conditional Use Permit 83-1. Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 8:11 p.m. asking those in favor of the Conditional Use Permit 83-1 to speak. No one asked to speak. Mayor Unsworth asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the Conditional Use Permit 83-1. No one asked to speak. Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 8:13 p.m. Mr. Torn asked Mr. Trevino if it is the intent of staff to treat other off-site signs in this same manner, under a Conditional Use Permit. if they do ftot meet the City's sign ordinance. If we approve this request, is staff going to police the other signs which have not met the City's Sign Ordinance.. Mr. Trevino stated this would be the staff's intent. . -- MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 83-1, UNTIL JUNE 1, 1983, SUBJECT TO THE APPLICANT PLACING A BOND WITH THE CITY TO SECURE REMOVAL OF THE SIGNS. 34. Conditional Use Permit 83-2: Michigan Armament Marketing, Inc.> - proposal to manufacture and test-fire small arms. Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing pursuant to the application of Michigan Armament Marketing, Inc. to manufacture and test- fi re sma 11 arms. Mr. Trevino reported the Planning Commission discussed the joint inspection of the facilities by representatives of the County Fire Department, County Sheriff's De- partment and Planning Staff. The operation is separated into three divisions. 1) Machine Shop where rough parts are constructed; 2) Area where guns receive finish machining and assembly, this area is also a test-firing area within the room; and 3) Store Room where finsihed guns and interchangeable parts are stored. Mr. Trevino reported staff has no objections at all to the application. The operation appears to be clean and safe with no storage of hazardous materials or explosives. There are, in fact, no more than five hundred (500) .45 calibur ammo rounds on the premises at anyone time. The operation, employing directly ... six (6) people, has absolutely no effect outside the plant. The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to conditions. The City Clerk stated no correspondence had been received regarding the proposed Conditional Use Permit. Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 8:15 p.m. asking those in favor of the project to speak. Jeff Pierce, Michigan Armament Marketing, Inc., stated the operation completely conforms with Federal, State and County laws. They have taken the recommendations of the Planning Commission and acted on all of them. . /1 ." -:r . ,; P.age Six City Council Minutes February 22, 1983 PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued. 34. Conditional Use Permit 83-2 - Continued. Mr. Pierce stated the alarm system has been installed and is functioning. The actual machine shop has been operating for approximately 50 years in Lake Elsinore. Mr. Pierce offered to answer any questions of the Council. - Mayor Unsworth asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the proposed Conditional Use Permit. No one asked to speak. Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 8:20 p.m. Mr. Torn asked Mr. Pierce how many people were employed by Michigan Armament Co. Mr. Pierce stated there were 10 employees, conceivably up to 20. Mr. Unsworth recommended that the Fire Department not be restricted to one (1) yearly inspection of the facility as recommended by the Planning Commission. MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY MAC MURRAY AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 83-2, WITH THE SEVEN (7) CONDITIONS AS LISTED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, DELETING THE WORDING IIA YEARL YII FRor~ CONDITION #l-d. The following are conditions of approval: 1. Meet the following requirements of the County Fire Department: a. All live ammunition will be kept in a pre-determined area. b.

Park Mr. Trevino reported on July 13, 1982, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit 82-3, subject to nineteen (19) conditions. This park came into the City under a previous annexation as a trailer park. The park existed as a non-conforming use because of substantial health and safety deficiencies. Subsequently, the owner lost her State license in early 1981. The present owners purchased the site in June of 1982. - Mr. Trevino explained that a new forty-two (42) space R.V. Park with complete hook-ups would require the applicant pay fees totaling $28,064.85. Mr. Trevino stated this is not entirely new and falls more into the area of rehabilitation rather than new construction. Staff feels that an adjustment in fees can be made because items which are normally checked on new construction will not be checked. Staff has met with the applicants and tentatively negotiated a fee of $16,500 subject to Council approval. Mr. Trevino stated he has reviewed the ordinance and found the ordinance indicates every person, firm, or corporation constructing any new commercia1/ industrial building, dwelling unit or trailer space in the City, should pay the sums specified. Mr. Trevino stated the property has been through the flood and a precedent has been established - that Council has assisted flood victims in the past. This is why staff has tentatively negotiated the price. 44 P.age Seven City Council Minutes February 22, 1983 BUSINESS ITEMS - Continued~ 51. Review of Conditional Use Permit 82-3 - Continued. Mr. Knight asked if the present .owner had owned the property prior to the flood. Mr. Trevino stated the present owner purchased the property after the flood. Mr. Knight asked which items listed in the staff report, pertaining to fees, do not have to be checked by the Building Department. Mr. Trevino stated that nothing needs to be checked. Staff has made a special inspection and found that most of the items required have already been complied wi... Mr. Torn felt that if staff does not have to check anything, then it may be proper to waive a portion of the building fees. Mr. Torn felt the Capital Improvement Fund does not have anything to do with plan checking and inspection. It is meant to provide an impact fee for new development in the community. Mr. Torn stated the reason this use was originally approved by the City Council was because it was not an existing park and was completely divorced from the previous park. Council wanted to start from scratch with no pre-conceived conditions. Mr. Trevino stated that today he interpreted this ordinance for an applicant who was involved in a shopping center project. Staff had computed full fees for the entire shopping center. After reviewing the matter, Mr. Trevino determined that only a portion of the fees applied because the applicant was only making alterations on a portion of the center. Mr. Trevino stated that staff has handled this type of item administratively, however, suggested that there was a need to establish more consistency in interpreting this ordinance. Ms. Valenzuela asked if there are some things the City would not have to do. She asked if the storm drain had already been installed. Mr. Torn commented that the applicant is responsible to do all the on-site work, therefore, fees are not collected. Fees are collected to provide a Capital Improvement Fund for the City to use in other parts of the community, because the park will impact on other parts of the community. Moved by MacMurray, second~d by Valenzuela to accept the $16,500 and allow the applicants to begin their business. (Motion failed). ...., AYES: MAC MURRAY, VALENZUELA NOES: TORN, KNIGHT, UNSWORTH ABSENT: NONE MOTION FAILED. Request for reduction of fees was denied. 52. Weymouth Request: Oral Report by Staff Mr. Rubel reported that Commercial Project 82-7 was approved subject to the applicant complying with County Fire Protection requirements. Mr. Weymouth sub- mitted a letter objecting to the restrictive fire protection requirements. The Fire Department requires a hydrant no further than 250 feet from a structure. A hydrant exists at Wise and Ames Avenue which can produce 950 gallons of water per minute flow. The hydrant is approximately 305 feet from the farthes~ part of the proposed building. The hydrant will cost $4,150 as quoted by E1s1nore Water District. Mr. Weymouth was advised by the City that if the building could be sited closer to the street, so the farthest exterior wall is only 250 feet from the existing hydrant, the requirement could be waived. Mr. Weymouth is considering relocating his bui19ing. Mr. Torn asked if there would be any liability on the part of the City if the requirement for the hydrant is waived. Mr. Porter stated that fire protection is one of the last areas of immunity left to municipalities. MOVED BY KNIGHT, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO WAIVE THE FIRE HYDRANT REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL PROJECT 82-7. ... 4:J Page Eight City Council Minutes Fe'bruary 22, 1983- 53. Tentative Tract Map )5020: L.D. Lansing and Associates - Request of Extension of time. - Mr. Trevino reported the Planning Commission recommends approval of the request for extension of time for Tentative Tract Map 15020 for a one (1) year period until February 26, 1984. The City Engineer has indicated that the applicant has not yet complied with any conditions of approval. The map was subject to fourteen (14) conditions. An extension was granted by the Council on February 23, 1983, for one year. Mr. Torn asked if the five (5) conditions of approval at the last extension in- cluded dedication of the water rights. Mr. Trevino stated he did not know, however, recommended that Council make it a condition if it was not already included. MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME OF TRACT MAP 15020, AND IF NOT ALREADY INCLUDED AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL, ADD THE FOLLOWING: 1) DEDICATION OF WATER RIGHTS TO THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE: 2) FORMATION OF A LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING DISTRICT: 3) FORMATION OF A STREET MAINTENANCE DISTRICT, AND 4) PARTICIPATION IN THE FUTURE SIGNALIZATION OF FOUR-CORNERS INTERSECTION. r-- 54. E.V.M.W.D. - Request for Waiver of Fees for Wastewater Treatment Plant Mr. Trevino reported a letter had been received from the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District for waiver of fees and permit charges regarding the proposed wastewater treatment plant. The plant is to be located in the City of Lake Elsinore, but will also serve other jurisdictions outside the City's boundaries. Mr. Trevino stated staff has not had an opportunity to review the entire fees and charges associated with this plant, however, it appears the fees could amount to $25,000 to $40,000. The City does not have esoteric personnel on staff to check some of the complexities associated with the plant construction, therefore, the City would probably have to send the plans out to an engineering firm speci- fically equipped to do this plan check. Staff recommends that Council direct the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District to pay those charges associated with the special plan check and, that the balance of fees owed the City be. taken off the anticipated charges that Elsinore Valley Municipal Water Distric~wtll show on the City's proportionate share. Mr: Trevino clarified these fees pertain to the Regional Treatment Plant. Mr. Torn asked if the plans will be presented to the Design Review Board. Mr. Trevino stated they probably will, but felt the Design Review Board does not have the capabilities to review such a plan. Mr. Torn stated he was concerned about the aesthetics of the plant and wants to insure that it is properly burmed and landscaped. Grant Olwaller, resident from Canyon Lake, pointed out the location of the proposed Sewer Treatment Plant on a map. MOVED BY KNIGHT, SECONDED BY MAC MURRAY AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO DIRECT ELSINORE VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT TO PAY THOSE CHARGES THAT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SPECIAL PLAN CHECK AND, THAT THE BALANCE OF FEES OWED THE CITY BE TAKEN OFF THE ANTICIPATED CHARGES THAT ELSINORE VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT WILL SHOW ON THE CITY'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THE REGIONAL TREATMENT PLANT. Council recessed at 8:51 p.m. Council reconvened at 8:59 p.m. 55. Swick Park Improvements - Change Order No. 2 Mr. Rubel reported the present contract includes fencing and backstops for both the Little League Field and Senior League Field but lighting improvements only for the Little League Field. The existing lighting system for the Senior League Field is deficient. Staff recommends Council authorize expenditure of up to $6,000 for Change Order No.2 to improve the lighting for the Senior League Field. It is proposed to: 1) move the six wood poles outside the perimeter fence; 2) provide: new underground power service to the relocated wood poles; and 3) hang additional lighting fixtures on the relocated wood poles. The additional lighting fixtures are those salvaged from the Little League Field. 46 .~age Nine City Council Minutes February 22, 1983 55. Swick Park Improvements - Change Order No. 2 Mr. Torn felt that lighting of the park was a high priority when the Swick Park plans were being revised. Council however did take into consideration that funds were limited on the project. MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO AUTHORIZE UP TO $6,000 FOR CHANGE ORDER NO.2- TO IMPROVE THE LIGHTING FOR THE SENIOR LEAGUE FIELD. Mr: ~night.felt t~a~ Ch~nge Order No.1 and 2 should have been recognized in the orlglnal bld speclflcatlons. Mr. Unsworth felt the Engineer did not know what the Litt~e.and.Senior Leagues needed because they were not asked when the plans ... and speclflcatlons were drawn up. Mr. Unsworth felt that if there was a committee for~ed to discuss what the needed requirements were, then the original specifi- catlons would not need to be changed. Ms. Valenzuela stated she was against change orders and the staff should make it a point to have laypeople involved in the planning of jOb specifications. 56. Federal Aid Urban Grant Program for Street Improvements Mr. Rubel stated the City of Lake Elsinore has been asked by the Riverside County Transportation Commission to submit a program for expenditure of Federal Aid Urban Grant Program Funds totaling $158,000. Staff proposed to submit a plan to expend $54,000 F.A.U. funds plus 14% City match to chip-seal and repair Railroad Canyon Road and a portion of Lakeshore Drive. The additional $104,000, plus City match, is proposed to be programmed for Lakeshore Drive and Main Street. The Transportation Commission proposes that the $104,000 be programmed for Fiscal Year 1986/87. 'Staff is aware that they cannot wait until 1986/87 to make the necessary repairs on Lakeshore and Main Street, we are including this in the City proposal to the Transportation Commission as an interim program. Next year, the City can again revise its program because it is hoped by then the City will know more specifically what our street improve- ment program will be. , Mr. Rubel reported that in March, 1982, Joe Kicak sent the County J~Ansportation Commis?ion a plan for spending the FAU Grant funds. This plan propo$es utilizing ~ $50,000 for resurfaci ng -'tf,.Rail road Canyon Road and $116,000 for reconstruction of Mission Trail between Malaga Road and Stater Brothers Shopping Center. Mr. Rubel stated the City must propose a specific type of improvement, submit plans and specifications and have them approved by the state before they will release the funds. Specific streets have been approved for expenditure of Federal Aid Urban Grant Funds. Ms. Valenzuela stated she has received a number of phone calls from local businesses regarding the condition of Railroad Canyon Road and feels it is a must that the road be repaired. Mr. Rubel answered a question raised by Councilmember Knight in regards to the reconstruction of Mission Trail between Malaga Road and the Stater Brothers Shopping Center, stating he is submitting a program to hold the funds, but the actual program can be changed at a later time. MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE SUBMISSION OF THE REVISED F.A.U. EXPENDITURE PROGRAM TO THE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION AS SO LISTED BY STAFF. Mr. Rubel will be coming back at the next City Council meeting with a time table for the improvements on Railroad Canyon Road. Mr. Unsworth stated the trees need to be cut along Railroad Canyon Road and this ... should be a priority item. 57.

There were a number of questions asked of Mr. Knight and Mr. Knight asked the board to put the questions in writing for the next meeting.
