13. Applicant to provide adequate signs for street terminations and deline-
ation for traffic control at the location of the barricades at existing
Campbell Street and Railroad Canyon Road South, as required by the
City Engineer.
14. Applicant shall provide additional 20 foot length and 10 foot width of
pavement at the end of Campbell Street and Railroad Canyon Road South
for driveway entrance to proposed site and, also, to minimize deter-
ioration of the existing public street paving. Thickness of base and
paving to be equal to existing pavement on Campbell Street. Eliminate
dirt ramp over curb and the illegal access from Railroad Canyon Road
South.
15. Applicant shall provide a hydrology study and make necessary provisions
to grade this site to insure storm drain water run-off away from the
end of Campbell Street and Railroad Canyon Road South.
16. Pay equitable vehicular traffic safety mitigation (signalization) fee.
The fee to be recommended to the City Council is approximately $16,550.00,

$6,050.00 the third year.
17. Assist the City in forming a Lighting and Landscaping District.
18. Dedicate underground water rights to the City of Lake Elsinore. (PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THIS CONDITION BE DELETED).
19. Applicant to contribute $36,600.00 to street improvements on Mission Trail,
because applicant utilizes a large property with no direct frontage,
but the use of streets by applicant will generate traffic and cause
congestion on streets. The burden for off-site improvements on Mission
Trail should not fall entirely onto the lots fronting on Mission Trail.
The recommended contribution to Mission Trail off-site improvements is
based on the following rationale: The total cost of a planned 76 foot
roadway for 1400 foot frontage from Campbell Street to Ma1aga Street
is $144,000. These improvements include paving, curb and gutter, side-
walk, street lighting and improved drainage. It is assumed that app-
licant should contribute one-fourth, or $36,000.00 of the cost of these
future off-site improvements to the centerline of Mission Trail. It is
proposed that the $36,000.00 be paid over a three year period at $12,000.00
per year. (PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THIS CONDITION BE BROUGHT
INTO A FAIR SHARE AMOUNT AND AMORTIZED OVER THE THREE (3) YEAR PERIOD.)
20. Provide to City drainage release and/or easement for storm water run-off
discharges from pipes and ditches concentrating onto applicant's
property. Indemnify City from liability as approved by City Attorney.

work in Lake Elsinore and contributing to the local economy.

MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY MAC MURRAY AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO
REFER THIS PROJECT BACK TO STAFF FOR FURTHER STUDY AND BRING BACK TO
COUNCIL NO LATER THAN MEETING OF NOVEMBER 22, 1983.
Ms. Valenzuela stated the reason she wanted staff to study this project
further is, in her opinion, some of the fees are exhorbitant and are a
deterrant to economic growth. Council discussion ensued and Mr. Trevino
was directed to have staff review fees, compile more detailed information
regarding the basis for these fees.

improvements are at Mill Street and Avenue 6. A six inch water main exists
in Mill Street and there is an existing hydrant on Mill Street within 500
feet of the proposed dwelling as required by the Fire Department. A l~
inch plastic pipe extended from Mill Street will provide adequate domestic
water. Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the following

relocate or replace service line upon demand by the City,

58. Approval of Reduced Street Widths - Higgens Development.
Mr. Rubel reported that a letter has been received from Fred Crowe, Butter-
field Surveys, representing property owners Michael Merlino and Jack Higgens,
who are proposing to develop an area northwesterly of Turnbull Avenue be-
tween Bunker Street and Gunnerson Street. The developers are requesting
that Turnbull Avenue and some adjacent proposed streets be approved for
construction at a reduced width of 40 feet. The present standard requires
50-foot minimum right-of-way width and a 32-foot curb-to-curb width. Since
most of the streets in the Country Club Heights area are 40 feet wide,
staff re~ommends approval of this request.
Mr. Unsworth stated it was his understa"ding that the General Plan had desig-
nated all the streets in the Country Club Heights area as 40-foot widths.
Mr. Rubel stated he researched and could find no evidence that the General
Plan had reduced these street widths. He plans to propose this at the next
General Plan amendment hearing.
It was determined that the General Plan addressed the width of streets of
record, either existing or on paper. However, the streets in question
were non-existent at that time. Council needs to make additional findings
as necessary regarding newly proposed streets.
MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY TORN AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE
REQUEST FOR 40 FOOT STREET WIDTHS FOR TURNBULL AVENUE FROM BUNKER STREET
TO GUNNERSON STREET AND OTHER PROPOSED ACCESS STREETS AND, THIS APPROVAL
DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE.
59. Swick Park Lighting and Fencing Contract Liquidated Damages.
Mr. Rubel reported that on September 12, 1983, Council accepted the Swick
Park lighting and landscaping project and authorized recordation of a
Notice of Completion. On November 8, 1983, which is thirty-five days
after recordation of the Notice of Completion, the remaining funds must
be released to Allied Sprinkler Company. In view of the fact there were
numerous problems with this contractor and the project did not progress
satisfactorily, staff recommends Council authorize withholding $2,000
($800 for liquidated damages and $1200 for work performed by the City)
from the 10 percent retention figure of $11,432.85, and authorize re-
lease of remaining funds to the contractor of $9,432.85.
Don Eickhoff, President of Allied Sprinkler Company, addressed Council
and stated that many delays and problems were encountered on this project.
He~fee1s the company did all in their power to speed up the project but
many of the problems were beyond the contractor1s control.
Mr. Trevino commented that staff ~as met with representatives of Allied
Sprinkler Company and they had agreed to the liquidated damages and to
all the figures stated herein. Mr. Porter stated that this matter seemed
destined for litigation. He also suggested that if these figures are
not acceptable, staff will need to review and determine what the actual
claim is and what the new figures will be and bring back a report to
Council.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY MAC MURRAY AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO REFER
THIS ITEM TO STAFF FOR FURTHER STUDY.
60. Appeal of William S. Buck - Residential Project No. 83-2.
Mr. Trevino reported that on October 11, 1983, Council heard the appeal of
Residential Project No. 83-2 by William S. Buck. Council directed the
matter be held over for two weeks allowing staff to meet with the appli-
cant and attempt to resolve the problems. Staff met with the City
Attorney and then with Mr. Buck and the final outcome was that Mr. Buck
would apply for a General Plan amendment. Mr. Buck has agreed and has
started proceedings towards filing the General Plan amendment on his
property. Therefore, staff recommends denial of the appeal to allow this
matter to proceed in a proper manner. Mr. Trevino confirmed that he is
committed to assisting Mr. Buck in getting his project on the agenda for

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Paul Baccus, 17445 Lakeshore Drive, commented on the good job the City has been
doing in cleaning up Lakeshore Drive. New guardrails are in place, however, the
old guardrail was left behind and needs to be cleared away.
Dick Knapp, 29690 Dwan Drive commented that four weeks ago he spoke to Council
regarding the need for street signs in the Country Club Heights area. Posts and
signs have now been put in place and he thanked Pat Rodgers and City crews for
the good work.
Bob Jacobson, 174 North Chestnut, commented on the poor condition of Lakeshore
Drive just westerly of Riverside Drive. Since this is a County road, it was
suggested that Mr. Jacobson write a letter to the County. Pat Rodgers agreed
to work with the County and try to solve the problem.
Lee Allen, 217 Avenue 9, asked about the equipment in the river near the bridge.
Pat Rodgers stated crews are stripping the island of debris so that it will not
damage the bridge and cause it to wash out during the rainy season.
John Mo1vin, 411 Davis Street, thanked Council and staff for completing the
improvements on Davis Street and for cutting down weeds along Chaney Street.
Kevin Jeffries, 17682 Grand Avenue, requested a meeting be scheduled with the
City Manager, City Attorney and City P1anner,to discuss Tentative Tract Map 19561,
before November 15. Mr. Trevino will follow-up.

OFF-AGENDA ITEM
Mr. Unsworth announced that the International Soroptomists of Lake Elsinore are
requesting the use of the Community Center to present a fashion show for the
benefit of Randy William's prosthesis. They request a waiver of fees except
for clean-up fees.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE
REQUEST AND WAIVE THE FEES.
REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Torn asked when the traffic signal at Railroad Canyon and Mission Trail will
be activated. Pat Rodgers stated approximately two weeks.
Mr. Torn requested staff set a study session during the month of November, if
possible, for a quarterly budget review. -
Mr. Torn commented that the vacant lot at the intersection of Lincoln and
Riverside Drive is being used as a used car lot. Many vehicles park there with
'For Sale' signs on them. This is not an appropriate use of the property and
he would like a weekend person to follow-up.
Mr. Mac Murray commented on a section of Lakeshore Drive between Graham and
Iowa Street. He would like to suggest the speed limit be reduced from 45 mph
to 35 mph and a double yellow line be added. He requested staff follow-up and
bring back a report to Council.

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS - Continued.
Mr. Knight made the following recommendations for staff follow-up:
1) Requested some decomposed granite be used on Heald Street where it
crosses the ditch.
2) Insure there is adequate drain capacity at the new carwash on Riverside
Drive near Four Corners. The area already has existing drainage problems.
3) Left-turn lanes on Machado Street at the park and onto Joy Street. The last
time this was discussed, the estimate given was approximately $500. This
would be a good project to coordinate with the re-striping of Lakeshore Drive.
Mr. Knight complimented staff on filling-in of the railroad tracks on Graham Street.
