53.a LAKE CREST DRIVE AS A THROUGH WAY FROM
RIVERSIDE DRIVE TO MACHADO STREET
City Engineer Joe Kicak reported that at the last Council meeting (1-26-82)
there was a request by the applicant, Mr. Bob Williams, to consider the elimi-
nation of the crossing at the channel for the primary reason that it may cause
some high speed and high volume traffic in that area. After checking out the
area and the planning stages for Lake Crest Drive, Mr. Kicak stated the street
was not then and is not now intended to be a major street through the area.
Lincoln Street has been designated on a general plan as a major through street
and Lincoln Street and Lakeshore Drive will be used by any traffic coming into
the City to reach the westerly portions of the lake. City Engineer Kicak
agreed that based on the facts, Lake Crest Drive could in the future be a IIdrag
stripll unless traffic controls are vigorously enforced. Mr. Kicak recommended
that Lake Crest Drive, within Tract 11939 and Tract 12155 be permitted to termi-
nate on the easterly side, and Lake Crest Drive, within Tract 14706, be per-
mitted to terminate on the westerly side of the drainage easement.

staff recommendation.

FILL IN FLOOD PLAIN.
Building and Safety Director Dwayne Frazier explained above subject matter was a
request by Mr. Richard Murphy for a property owner named Haskell on Mission Trail
who owns some property behind the Mission Trail dike. The property owner wishes
. -8-
120
Lake Elsinore, California
February 9, 1982
to obtain access to his property and by the access he requests that he be able
to spread the fill onto this property which is in the flood plain. Granting
this request is contrary to Ordinance #603 and could risk jeopardizing the City's
Flood Insurance coverage. Mr. Frazier stated he felt more study is needed
before allowing filling in of flood plain and recommended his first of five
recommendations, which was denial.
Councilman Torn asked if the reason for the request was to provide access or to
provi de - fi 11 .
;~ :
Mr. Richard Murphy addressed Council and stated the request was for access and
to use the property for agricultural purposes. He believes that part of the
dike is on the Haskell property and part is on the right-of-way.

Discussion ensued between members at the table and Mr. Murphy.
Councilman Unsworth commented that he would like the dike ownership researched
and clarified before dirt removal by anyone.
City Manager Rede remarked that if Council would so direct, staff could check
this particular dike area to ascertain if some of the dirt could be moved
around in the right-of-way to permit access to the property and then bring
the subject request back to Council in 60 days.
It was moved by Councilman Torn, seconded by Councilman MacMurray and unanimously
approved that the City Manager be directed to work with the applicant with no
cost to the City other than administrative.
Mr. Richard Murphy asked if this matter would be back before the Council in
sixty days. Councilman Torn replied that if he worked it out with the City
Manager he could probably be in within a few days.

#81-4: CANYON LAKE HILLS - A.B.C. HERITAGE
(Continued from 1-26-82 Council Meeting)
Planning Director Jim Morrissey commented that this matter has been continued
for the last two City Council meetings and staff's report has remained the same
as the one dated January 22, 1982, since the situation has not changed.
Discussion ensued between the members at the table. Councilman Torn commented
that subject map was brought to Council as a revised map following the discus-
sions and the. development contract with Canyon Lake Hills about a year and a
half ago. New people came into the picture, bought property and came in ~_,
several Council meetings ago for a change in their tract map. There were t:
several changes in the proposed conditions and one of the major problems was
the matter of school impact. He asked the School District members in the audience
if the problems had been resolved.
Dr. Ron Flora addressed Council and, speaking on behalf of the School District
Boards, requested that approval of subject Tentative Tract Map #17413 not be
given at this time. He stated that the Schools attorney had ~rawn up draft

agreements regarding developer assistance for necessary educational facilities
for their students. Developer and School District approval of these agree-
ments may be only a matter of a few days or weeks away.
Councilman Torn stated that based on the inability of the schools and the
developer to come to any agreeable mitigation measures, he would move denial
of Tentative Tract Map #17413, which motion was seconded by Mayor Stewart.
Mr. Wesley Hylen of A.B.C. Heritage addressed Council and commented that a
number of issues needed to be clarified. He stated A.B.C. Heritage's position
in regard to the school mitigation impact problem. Mr. Hylen presented his
development's proposal made to the School Districts. He then requested approval
of Tentative Tract Map #17413 and stated the time element involved could
cause them problems.
Discussion continued with Councilman Torn outlining what had taken place at a
joint School District/Developer meeting he had attended last night (2-8-82).
Mr. Allen Nixon, lawyer for A.B.C. Heritage, stated his and A.B.C. Heritage's
beliefs as to the extent of their responsibility in regard to the school
issue.
Councilman Unsworth remarked that he was against an outright denial and would
like to see the subject matter tabled until after School Board approval and he
knows what action the Board of Supervisors will take.
Councilman Torn offered the willingness of both bodies, the School Districts
and the Council, to meet with the develop to resolve the school issue if they
so desire.
Councilman Torn then moved to continue subject Tentative Tract Map #17413
matter, at the developer1s request, to the February 23, 1982 Council meeting,

sign at Collier next to the property the City is interested in having appraised.
Ma.yor Stewart requested staff look into this matter and determine if something
can be done to the road to make drivers more aware of the stop sign.
Mr. Knight also spoke on building of condominiums and stated that usually too
many were permitted to be built and apartments were permitted to convert to condo-
miniums. He wouldn't like to see that happen here.
Mr. Lee Allen addressed Council and stated he agreed with the statements Mr.
Knight had made regarding the stop sign on Collier Avenue.
Mr. Tom Jessup, Vice President of the Elementary School Board, commented on the
results of the School Districts and developers meetings.
