PUBLIC COMMENTS
Margaret Reider, resident of Lake Elsinore, asked the City Council to
look into traffic signals at the Four Corners intersection and Mission
Trail and Railroad Canyon Road.
Paul Backus asked the Council to look at putting a signal at Four
Corners and suggested removing two of the stop signs in an effort to
get the attention of Caltrans to act on the traffic signal.
The City Engineer stated he had some problems with that suggestion.
Caltrans has done a survey of the area and feels it is not warranted
and the city could not assume the liability for the removal of the signs.

51. Waiver of Parking Requirements Request
Mr. Morrissey gave background information on the request based
on a report dated May 20, 1982, recommending approval of the
use subject to the payment of $13,230.00 to the Redevelopment
Agency/City Council to be placed in a fund for the improvement
of parking lots.
,.
Mr. Porter stated he would like to look into this matter further.
Mr. Porter felt there may be a problem with collecting of fees
for this purpose since the ordinance did not specifically allow it.
Mr. Torn stated that he would like the downtown section re-
vitalized but that by charging a fee for parking would scare
some potential businesses away.

Discussion was led on the possibility of an assessment district
for parking in the downtown section. Mr. Porter reported that
under the present ordinance, it would not be possible.
Mr. Robert Cavella, applicant, stated he expects to have between
40 and 60 percent of walk-in business. Mr. Cavella would prefer
not to pay the $13,230 at this time, but feels that an annual
fee,would be more workable.
~
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT TO APPROVE IN CONCEPT THE
WAIVER OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS SUBJECT TO THE ATTORNEY'S
POSSIBLE MODIFICATION OF EXISTING ORDINANCE AND RECOGNIZATION
ON THE PART OF THE APPLICANT THAT THE PARKING FEES WILL BE A
MINIMUM OF $13,230.00.
Mr. Torn explained to the applicant that the $13,230 would be
a minimum fee and that the fee may become larger if the attorney
bases the ordinance on an index system. This is only a suggestion
for the structure of the proposed ordinance.
Nancy Shaffer, asked additional questions on the parking
requirements for restaurants. Ms. Shaffer felt that only one
space per three patrons should be required.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
TO AMEND THE ORIGINAL MOTION TO INCLUDE A FINDING BY THE
CITY COUNCIL THAT THE ADDITIONAL PARKING REQUIREMENTS WOULD
BE 27 SPACES AND THAT THE DOLLAR FIGURE $13,230 BE AMENDED
TO COMPUTE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR 27 SPACES AT THE $1.10
PER SQUARE FOOT.
Mr. Morrissey reported that he has analyzed that 44 spaces
should be required. Mr. Torn stated that staff should subtract
the number of spaces that should be required if they were to
continue the dime store use from the amount now required.
Mr. Porter suggested that instead of pinning staff down to a
specific number of spaces that the -number of spaces required
for the dime store use should be used.
52: Chamber of Commerce Request
~
Mr. Rede reported the Chamber of Commerce would like to review
all vendors taking out a business license to work in the area
