Final Map for Tract 16452 Mr. Torn stated that apparently through an oversite, there was an assumption that the property was located in the Sewer Assessment District. Mr. Torn stated the staff recommendation is to approve, with deed restriction giving notice to purchasers of the lots that they cannot be hooked up to the Sanitary Sewer System. Staff did not provide an alternate requirement for the sewer system, or provide a requirement for the owners of the property to obtain approvals from the County of Riverside Health Department for an alternate sewer system. Mr. Torn asked what the purpose was in creating lots of record if the lots cannot be hooked up to the sewer system, or be required to obtain an alternate sanitary system. Mr. Porter reported the County of Riverside Health requirements would apply whether or not they are conditioned on the map. Once the tentative map is approved, there is virtually no way to add conditions. Discussion ensued on the best way of notifying the potential purchasers of the lots that sewer was not available through the City. It was suggested, in addition to the map having a statement to this effect, that individual deed restrictions be prepared for each lot. 3b1 Page two City Council Minutes December 28, 1982 ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR - Continued. 2. Final Map for Tract 16452 - Continued. Mr. Porter asked Council if he could discuss the matter of notifications with ithe City Engineer at the Break and make a recommendation after the meeting. Council concurred to continue this portion of the Final Map until such time. Mr. Knight stated when the street is built, prior to selling the lots, that the Machado Street right -of -way be completed back to the right -of -way line. Mr. Knight further recommended the trees which front this property along Machado Street be removed and be replaced with new trees of 15 gallon size or larger. Mr. Knight felt the trees would be a hazard if the road were to be completed and the trees left in. The trees would be removed from Parkview to the Trailer Park Property. Mr. Torn stated that Machado Street is one of the last streets in town that have the old landmark trees. He is opposed to having any of the trees p� removed. He felt this is a part of the history of the town. t- Mr. Porter reported the Council has very little discretion in approving the final map if it is in compliance with the conditions of the tentative map. Mr. Torn stated the initial map was based on the installation of the off -sites that the curb and cutter be behind the streets, so that the trees actually sit between the finished curb and gutter and the street. Mr. Torn stated the condominiums built on Parkview have improvements in but the trees have not been removed and thought this tract was designed the same way. Mr. Rubel reported the improvement plans which have been approved do provide for the trees to remain. Mr. Knight felt the trees would be a hazard and could have accidents as a result. Mr. Knight would like them removed for safety reasons. This item was continued to later in the meeting until the City Attorney and City Engineer discuss the matter of the deed restrictions. 3. Claim - Southern California Gas Company 4. Claim - Olga Marie Moreno 5. Claim - Samir Madik Mr. Porter explained that item #3 the city broke a gas line and Southern California Gas is now asking the City to pay for it.

The Planning Commission recommended deletion of two (2) conditions proposed by the City Engineer. One condition called for the applicant to sign an agreement to participate in the equitable cost of ..r signalization for the Lakeshore Drive and Riverside Drive intersection. The other condition was to sign a similar agreement to participate in the cost of extending the Four Corner storm drain. Mr. Torn asked if there was a reason the off -site improvements can not be . put in. Mr. Rubel stated he did not know of a reason why the improvements could not be required to be put in.

Mr. Taylor had received initial approval for a period of five (5) years. Prior to this Council date, the applicant appeared before the Plannina Commission and was allowed the operation based on the following two reasons: 1) There had been no complaints, and 2) The project was not unattractive. Mr. Taylor has requested the City Council grant him permanent residence for his auto dis- mantling business. Staff has reviewed the history of this operation and is of the opinion that the applicant has met the requirements of the Municipal Code and recommended Council approve Mr. Taylor's request.

Chamber of Commerce Request Mr. Rubel reported staff has received a request from the Chamber of Commerce to install an overhead power line in a City right -of -way. Edison Company will not C7� extend power service beyond a pole one - quarter mile northerly of the Chamber % Sports Center north property line. Edison will not extend service closer to the lake than elevation contour 1265.

Edison Co. will terminate power on a meter pole on the east side of Lucerne Street approximately one - eighth mile south of Lakeshore Drive, the Chamber of Commerce will span to their pole on the west side of Lucerne Street and continue southerly, placing eight poles at 250 feet apart. The pole line will be 5 feet east of the west line of the 60 foot right -of -way. There will be four conductors to provide 3 phase, 480 volt, 200 ampere service. Mr. Porter recommended the applicant apply for an encroachment permit so that staff can insure that the proper insurance is obtained and that if necessary the city can require the poles to be removed, and the City Manager and Attorney to prepare an agreement. Mr. Torn stated concern that the Chamber of Commerce will be arovidina oower to Elsinore Ultra Lites. Mr. Vic, representing the Chamber of Commerce, stated the Chamber is basically assuming the responsibility of providing power when the Edison Company leaves off. Mr. Vic stated that if the Elsinore Ultra Lites are allowed to be in business by the City then if the Ultra Lites need power he sees no reason why they could not utilize the power they need as long as they pay for it.

Mr. Trevino feels staff needs to do some research on this request. The Conditional Use Permit is an old permit and the records are very limited. Gynn McCowley stated when she received her conditional use permit in 1977, she was not told it was on a two (2) year basis. This came to her attention when she applied for permits to repair damage caused by the storm. The business is a mobile home sales office.

Lake Community Center Expansion (Resolution) Mr. Trevino reported at the December 14th City Council meeting, the Council directed the Director of Community Development to research the possibility of completing the expansion through other means, i.e., owner- builder, day labor, or material and supplies, etc. Further, a committee composed of Councilwoman Valenzuela and Councilman Knight were appointed to work with the Director of Community Development. The committee and staff feels the expansion can be accomplished considerably cheaper than the previously rejected Council bid of $87,288. The passage of this resolution then would be the first step in the process. Mr. Carter, 109 N. Lowell,stated he would like a committee set up of members from outside the City Council to look at the Center Expansion. Mr. Knight asked Mr. Carter how many times he has asked when the Senior Citizen meals will be relocated into the Community Center. Mr. Carter stated he has mentioned it before.

Mr. Knight stated if the City is going to require that the builder finish Machado Street back to the ultimate right -of -way line, there are also utility poles that have to be relocated. If the trees are to stay, then this will make a difference in the utilities relocation. Dick Flannery, land development consultant representing both properties, stated there were either a cash security or bond posted with the City for the removal of the trees at the city's descretion. As a consultant he had recommended full improvements along Machado with open spaces that were not to be paid. The reason for the full improvements behind the trees was drainage and safety for the school. Mr. Trevino stated he will flag this item if it comes back in the form of a conditional use permit to condition the applicant to provide a cash security or bond for the possible removal of the trees.
