Interim Zoning Ordinance - Urgency Situation Mr. Trevino reported that, as Council is aware, the City's General Plan and current zoning ordinance are not consistent. State law requires that the zoning ordinance be consistent with the General Plan. Staff is currently in the process of rewriting the zoning ordinance, which may take as long as five months to complete. Therefore, staff is proposing that Council adopt an interim zoning ordinance to cover this time gap. Mr. Trevino stated this interim ordinance should help to speed up processing of applications re- quiring zone changes. The City Clerk read Ordinance No. 681 in its entirety. ORDINANCE NO. 681 AN URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, PROHIBITING ANY LAND USES WHICH MAY CONFLICT WITH A CONTEMPLATED CITY-HIDE ZONE CHANGE TO ESTABLISH CONSISTENCY BETWEEN ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIG- NATION.

General Telephone Company Appeal of Development Requirements Mr. Knight requested that he be excused from deliberation on this item as he is an employee of General Telephone and this could be considered a conflict of interest. - Mr. Rubel reported that a proposed condition of the Building and Grading Permit for expansion of the telephone building at Graham and Langstaff is, IImitigate storm water runoff impacts because of expected flooding of the basement of the adjoining Community Centerll. The construction of the proposed parking lot by GTE will reduce the volume of the holding area for storm water runoff. The developer has appealed this requirement of the building permit. Staff feels the GTE project contributes approximately 7 to 10% toward the problem of sump capacity and drainage and therefore GTE should contribute toward its solution. L; f'- ~ '~ ~ ~ Staff's first proposal to GTE was to participate in the ownership, improvement, operation and maintenance of the existing pump station, but, that was not acceptable to the applicant. If Council determines that the appeal be denied and applicant be required to mitigate drainage impact, staff has proposed three possible alternatives. 1. Require GTE to obtain a drainage liability release from adjacent pro- perty owners including, but not limited to, the owner of adjacent vacant lots, Mr. Barrish who owns and operates the used car sales lot and who built and operates the pump station, and the Jewish Community Center. This release to be approved by the City Attorney, notarized and recorded. 2. Require GTE to enter into a legal arrangement to participate with adjacent affected properties in the ownership, improvement, operation and maintenance of the existing pump station. Provide a 'hold harmless' document to be notarized and recorded. The improvements to the pump station to be as required by the City Engineer. 3. Require GTE to provide to the City of Lake Elsinore, a 350 gpm portable pump, engine generator and discharge hose to provide backup to the existing pump station. Mr. Unsworth stated, for public information, it should be clearly designated that the adjoining Community Center is the Jewish Community Center, not the Lake Community Center. MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED TO REQUIRE THAT GENERAL TELEPHONE PROVIDE TO THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, A 350 GPM PORTABLE PUMP, ENGINE GENERATOR AND DISCHARGE HOSE TO PROVIDE BACKUP TO THE EXISTING PUMP STATION. AYES: TORN, MAC MURRAY, VALENZUELA, UNSWORTH NOES: NONE ABSTENTIONS: KNIGHT Mr. Knight returned to the meeting at 8:50 p.m. - 53. Street Improvement Contract - Lakeshore Drive Mr. Trevino reported that since the last Council meeting on September 13, 1983, he had met with Norm Rubel, Pat Rodgers, Superintendent of Public Works and contractors and some changes were made to the original specifi- cations (No. 83-2). Therefore, staff is recommending Council approve street improvement contract with Sunridge Development Company in the amount of $46, 183 . 60. Council recessed at 8:55 p.m. Council reconvened at 9:00 p.m. ]02 Page ten City Council Minutes September 27, 1983 BUSINESS ITEMS - Continued 53. Street Improvement Contract - Lakeshore Drive - Continued. Pat Rodgers reported on various aspects of the project. He stated that the scope of work to be included in the improvements was an area beginning at Main Street and Graham, continuing down Lakeshore Drive to the City Limits, including the intersection of Mountain Avenue and Lakeshore Drive. Also, a limited amount of work will be done on Terra Cotta Road. Mr. Unsworth stated that at their last meeting, Council took action to reject all bids. Since there were only three Councilmembers present at that meeting, it did not constitute a legal action, a four-fifths margin is necessary. Therefore, the City Attorney advised that it would be necessary for Council to take another vote rejecting all bids, and at the same time staff recommendations could be included. -... MOVED BY MAC MURRAY, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO REJECT THE ORIGINAL BID AND ACCEPT STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS TO AWARD STREET IMPROVEMENT CONTRACT TO SUNRIDGE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $72,000. MOVED BY MAC MURRAY, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO ADJOURN TO THE APPEALS BOARD AT 9:09 P.M. APPEALS BOARD Mr. Porter reported that this was an appeal of Mr. Jose Martinez, 906 W. Lakeshore Drive. In view of some pending litigation, the report concerning this matter is confidential. The Martinez property was subject to abatement proceedings following the 1980 flood. The Appeals Board granted an appeal fro~ the abatement provided the structure was boarded up to HUD specifications. Mr. Frazier brought the matter before the Appeals Board for clarification as to whether or not the City should proceed with the abatement. .... Mr. Porter stated that it is his recommendation, in view of the reasons con- tained in his report to Council, that if the City wishes to proceed with the demolition, abatement proceedings should be commenced anew. No action should be taken on the 1980 proceedings. Staff can commence these proceedings with Council direction. Proceedings would take approximately ninety (90) days assuming things procede as quickly as possible. MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY MAC MURRAY AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO ADJOURN THE APPEALS BOARD AT 9:11 P.M. COUNCIL RECONVENED AT 9:12 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Paul Baccus, 17455 Lakeshore Drive, stated that he represented the Lakeshore Overlay Committee and the committee would like some direction from the City Council regarding what should be done along the lakeshore. Mr. Torn commented there is a new State Park employee who has been assigned to develop a lakeshore plan for the State. The employee has indicated an interest in attending the next committee meeting and offering guidance on planning as it relates to recre- ation and land use along the lakeshore. ... Mr. Unsworth stated that it was his understanding that the purpose of the Lakeshore Overlay Committee was for clean-up of the lakeshore. The Committee was not set up to deal with matters of recreation or zoning. Mr. Knight suggested that perhaps suggestions from the community could be sent to the local newspaper, printed in the 'Letters to the Editor' section and this could be one way of obtaining public input. 203 Page eleven City Council Minutes September 27, 1983 PUBLIC COMMENTS - Continued. John Molvin, 411 Davis Street, commented on the weeds along Chaney Street between Davis Street and Collier. He feels they are very hazardous to pedestrian and vehicular traffic in that area. Mr. Molvin also commented on the problems he has had over the past five years with regard to street improvements on Davis Street. After lengthy discussion it was suggested that Mr. Molvin meet with Pat Rodgers and determine what can be done. .L; l"- ~ I"'":) ~ o Dick Knapp, 29690 Dwan Drive, commented on the difficulty that police and emer- gency vehicles have in finding certain streets and addresses in the Country Club Heights area, due to lack of street signs. Mr. Unsworth stated that posts are being put in place now and lettering for signs has been ordered. Pat Rodgers wi 11 fo 11 ow-up. Bob VerMillion, 31955 Corydon Road, asked why there has not been a bond issue for construction of a flood control channel for Lake Elsinore. Mr. Vermillion was informed that the flood control bond initiative for our district was voted down in the 1982 election. Mr. Vermillion asked who has jurisdiction over the pumps at the lake, the County or the City. Mr. Porter stated that during negotiations in Sacramento it was determined that the City would operate the pumps and the County would determine when they needed to be shut down, to protect downstream property owners. Mr. Vermillion expressed concern that the lake level is still too high considering we are entering the rainy season. Eugene Carter commented on the condition of the ditch and the mosquito problem. Gregg Ross, 3920 Ulla Lane, Lake Elsinore, stated that during the past ten months he has experienced some serious flooding problems at his residence on Ulla Lane. He has brought the problem before Council and talked to City Staff on numerous occasions since the problem began. Mr. Porter stated that the City is presently in litigation with Mr. Ross on this matter. He is seeking injunctive relief from the City, County and the Woodhaven Developers. In view of the litigation, Mr. Porter advised that Council not respond to Mr. Ross's comments. Patrick Callahan, 1402 Lakeshore Drive, asked what is the mean sea level at the bottom of the outflow channel. Mr. Rubel stated it is approximately 1259~ feet near the lake and it varies at other locations up to approximately 1261~ feet. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Mr. Trevino requested an executive session to discuss a personnel matter. Mr. Mac Murray complimented staff on the new crosswalks on Mission Trail. Ms. Valenzuela thanked the Council for their consideration during her recent illness. - Mr. Unsworth stated that Code Enforcement has been tagging abandoned vehicles, however, the contractor responsible for picking up these vehicles has informed the City that he has no more storage space so many of them have not been picked up. Mr. Trevino stated that the contract for vehicle abatement is due to be renewed soon and hopes to eliminate this problem at that time. Mr. Unsworth commented that the mosquito abatement program was begun on Septem- ber 19 and the process will control the eggs, not the living insects. People can cooperate by not leaving standing water in any containers. Also, he has been informed by Mr. Luna of the Northwest Mosquito Abatement District that we need a mosquito abatement ordinance.

Mr. Torn explained that when Mr. Trevino took over the position of Interim City Manager, Council took action to increase his salary by a net figure of $100.00 weekly to compensate for the additi.onal duties. When he was hired as permanent City Manager, he actually took a cut in salary, as well as taking on extra duties. The four percent increase actually is less than the $100.00 per week which the City had been paying Mr. Trevino.
