I Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 2 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 F1 Minutes for January 20, 2009 PUBLIC HEARINGS Chairwoman Loraine Watts opened the Public Hearing at 4:35 p.m. 3. 15900 GRAND AVENUE, APN 381-050-0011381-050-002. LAKE ELSINORE, CA Chairwoman Watts addressed the case. She indicated there were several people who would like to speak regarding the case. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman indicated he would have Officer Slater introduce the case and then each of the speakers could respond. He stated he wanted everyone to be on the same page and wanted Officer Slater to show the pictures he had so everyone could see the current condition of the property. Code Enforcement Officer Slater indicated that this case involved the Military Academy with the above address. He addressed the Board and the members of the community. He stated the Military Academy was on Grand Avenue and had sat vacant for several years. He commented the case had originally been brought before the Nuisance Board in June of 2006. He indicated it was declared a public nuisance and there was a representative from the Garrett Group at that time that was very responsive. He said she gave them communication information. He indicated they were out there regularly to clean it up. He commented trespass paperwork was on file with the Sheriff Department. He stated there were regular tours of the property by Code Enforcement and Police. He said since 2006 the property had slipped into its current condition. He indicated the pictures in front of them were taken on Friday wherein a tour was taken with Code Enforcement, Sheriff Department and Board Member Fagan. He stated he would cycle through the pictures. He said the case had been written up for the perimeter fence which was dilapidated in some areas. He commented it was either a car accident or a tree had fallen down leaving the fence badly damaged, open and accessible to people from the main thoroughfare. He stated the fence had also been damaged off a more secluded street, Bonnie Lane which was more accessible to community kids. He indicated it made it more accessible to vandals, transients, fires, crime and the rest of the community. He commented there was lots of overgrown and dead vegetation, fallen trees, piles of branches and the building was open in many areas and boards removed. He said they had accessed the building on Friday. He indicated the trespassers were out there in the evening hours stripping wires and metal from everywhere they could get it. He commented the building was literally stripped clean of all metal and anything of value. He stated the picture they had Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 3 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 been looking at was the backside along the Lake. He commented most of the main areas were boarded up pretty well. He indicated the power box was stripped of all the metal and they were trying to steal the box as well. He stated it looked like they were trying to steal a power line too. He commented they stripped all the contents from an air conditioner unit. He said that was the window that was open and accessible that they had walked through. He indicated the picture showed evidence of transients or people sleeping on the property. He addressed a picture of two deputies who cleared the area making it safe for them. He stated the picture showed another room on the second story level that was an addition that really was not originally a part of the Academy when it was built. He showed a lot of water damage with structural integrity diminishing, taggers leaving their mark, Board Member Fagan, another power box with everything taken out of it, more recent taggings with a date of February 23, 2009, main entrance, and where people tried to strip out the water heaters while drinking beer. He explained back in 2006 when times were better the Garrett Group was able to fund the placement of an onsite security staff who abandoned their trailer there when they left. He indicated some of the companies who had these services to stay on site supplied the trailer and that was the condition wherein it was abandoned. He stated the most recent tour of the property was that afternoon with the Building Official. He commented they drove the exterior fence line and walked the building exterior themselves. He said all the accessible portions on the exterior of the building were all boarded up. He commented members of the Garrett Group were out there. He indicated Mr. Garrett had been out there for the last couple of days boarding it up. He stated they had some of their associates cutting the vegetation leaving it in the piles that you saw on the property. He commented they had regular communication with the Garrett Group unfortunately due to the economic times they had not been as responsive as they would have liked them to be. He said there had been some reorganization of their staffing. He said they had been there that day. He indicated they had come to City Hall to let the Building Official know that they did have the intent to improve it and make the necessary changes to make this a more secure structure to eliminate or medicate any of the risk to ' our community. He stated unless the. Board decided otherwise he would recommend the Board declare the property a nuisance so we could clear off any remaining debris or hear what Mr. Garrett had to say and if it was appealing to the Board give him the time to make those changes before we would have to go in and do it ourselves. Chairwoman Watts thanked Officer Slater. She called Scott Garrett to the podium. Scott Garrett asked if they needed his address or if they already had it. He stated he was not sure what the formality was. Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 4 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 Code Enforcement Manager Chipman asked him to introduce himself on the ~i mike. Scott Garrett indicted Officer Slater had a good presentation. He stated they were out there on a regular basis trying to keep the building as secure as possible. He commented it was an ongoing battle. He said the building was secure as of that afternoon but he had no idea how long it would be before someone came along and took the boards off again. He indicated they were out there quite often. He stated they cleaned around the property and they disked the big open areas, weed whacked around the building, picked up where they could and they had noticed that someone on the east side of building had taken palm fronds, junk and stuff and thrown it in the building. He commented that was not them. He said a couple of years ago they hired a professional tree trimming company to clean up some of the palm trees. He indicated they made every effort they could to keep the building secure as possible and they would like to work with the City staff. He stated they had a few ideas perhaps in the future they could discuss because they saw it as a long term challenge. He commented due to the economy nothing was going to happen with this property for a couple of years or longer. He said he would like to work with us to see what they could do to secure it. He asked if there were any questions he would be happy to respond. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman thanked Mr. Garrett. He asked Mr. Garrett Fill to sit down in order to hear the rest of the comments and then the Board would probably have questions for him. Chairwoman Watts called Linda Ridenour to the podium. Linda Ridenour stated she lived at 33628 Brand, Lake Elsinore. She indicated she felt grief to be there that day. She stated she had walked through the Military Academy before The Garrett Group purchased the property and it was beautiful. She commented at that time they had a caretaker, the floors were beautiful, everything was pristine and in five years it had gone from a beautiful place to a wreck. She said she begged to differ with him regarding him coming by regularly. She indicated it had not been happening for two years. She stated she was there at the meeting in '06 when there had been a lot of promises. She commented the promises had not been kept. She said it was his responsibility to keep the property up and she was sorry he was having hard times. She indicated he had neglected the property from the beginning. She stated it was listed on the Riverside County Historic Properties. She commented it was his responsibility to keep the property in the pristine condition that he purchased it in. She thanked the Board for their time. Chairwoman Watts thanked her. She called Ruth Atkins to the podium. Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 5 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 Ruth Atkins asked if she could ask Mr. Garrett a question. Chairwoman Watts asked her to speak into the mike because they could not hear her. Ruth Atkins asked Mr. Garrett if it was true that he attended the Military Academy. Mr. Garrett stated he had a picture of his father and his first cousin from 1936. He indicated they went to summer camp there so they did have a long history. Ruth Atkins thanked him. She indicated based upon what Mr. Garrett had said that the family had a long history, she would be ashamed if she were them to have let this lovely facility become what it looked like now. She stated there were many people who were extremely upset and she was one of them that had saw all of the things that had gone on there. She commented the place would not be touched for weeks and the windows that Officer Slater had shown that were uncovered were not covered for several weeks. She indicated she thought they needed to give prompt attention to the property. She stated the representatives had come to the Historical Society and had given a presentation a year and a half ago of what the project was going to become. She commented that was fine but from that time on nothing had happened and it had gone downhill. She said if they did not want to keep it up she suggested they move on because there were people who would love to get a hold of that property and restore it to what it was at least five years ago. She indicated they thought it was a shame that this treasure of Lake Elsinore, built in the '20's and a reputable school from 1936 to 1976 was in this condition. She stated they needed to give it a little more attention. He commented she sympathized with them for the property situation being what it was but she had people say to her that they may be telling Lake Elsinore that they did not have the money but she understood they were doing quite well on some other properties. She said she felt they needed to find a little bit of money and at least show them that they were sincere about making the property look more presentable. Chairwoman Watts thanked Ruth Atkins. She called Pete Dawson to the podium. Pete Dawson greeted the Board. He indicated he lived at 18010 Grand Avenue, Lake Elsinore. He stated he represented a group of property owners concerned with the condition and security of the Military School. He commented the number one concern was the preservation of this historical monument but also concerned for the nuisance that the lack of security represented. He said he did not believe Mr. Garrett meant what he said when he looked at the doors and windows. He indicated the doors and windows he recognized as months not weeks opened. He stated when that party took over the Military School they were elated that that Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 6 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 member of their society with the long history with the Military School was going to take over. He felt they would take good care of it. He commented that recently the vandalism and the nuisance to neighboring properties was increasing. He indicated break-ins at the neighborhood communities were directly reflected from people occupying the Military School. He said many access points were not addressed for months. He commented two years ago he made a comment at a Historical Society Meeting that he thought The Garrett Group's plan was to allow as much nuisance as possible and hopefully someone would set fire to the building and then they would have the same thing as across the lake. He indicated he was assured that that was not the case. He stated he was given a number and a name for people to call when problems arose. He commented there was no one at that number. He said no one answered the phone and it was a problem. He indicated it represented a real big problem for him because he was given the Small Business of the Year award in the building. He stated he believed the last meeting that was held in that building was in 1999 or 2000 when the last Business of the Year was represented there. He said he had that award and he had a picture of that building of how nice it was and now he was ashamed of what had happened to that building since. He commented he wanted something done. He said he did not just want it boarded up again. He indicated he wanted the repair of what had been vandalized. He thanked the Board for their time. i Chairwoman Watts thanked Mr. Dawson. She called Dotty Paulsen to the podium. Dotty Paulsen stated she lived at 15937 Avondale Way which shared the same fence line with the Military School. She indicated as far as someone keeping an eye on the place that was non-existed. She commented they would have seen it. She stated they had not seen anyone since Mitch left. She said when Rose was handling it, it was not pristine but it was in nice condition. She indicated since that time her major upset was the way they kept the grounds. She stated the weed abatement was terrible. She commented her allergies were going way out. She said the,weeds go so high you could not see people walking over there, they were hiding. She indicated that the weeds get so high they are living there. She stated they come out and do partial weed abatement like last year and figured that was good enough. She commented it was not and that they needed tractors. She said they could not just have a weed whacker go down there and do it because it comes right back. She indicated the property was so big and there were so many things you needed a tractor to tear up. She stated like when Rose had done it, she had a tractor come in once a year. She commented now it was not being done and the weeds were just growing way out of'hand. She said they come with a weed whacker and they whack a little bit and then they leave. She indicated as far as someone coming down to watch the property that was non-existing because they would have seen it since they share the same property fence line. She thanked the Board. Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 7 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 Board members thanked Dotty Paulsen. n Chairwoman' Watts asked Axel Paulsen to come to the podium. Axel Paulsen stated he was her husband. He commented his thoughts were if the Historical Society and the City of Lake Elsinore were really concerned they should make a petition for donations to help. The Board thanked Mr. Paulsen. Chairwoman Watts indicated she would bring that up with Ruth Atkins. She asked Ms. Atkins if it was a historic building with the Historical Society in Lake Elsinore or with the County of Riverside. Ruth Atkins stated it was with the Lake Elsinore Historical Society of the South. Chairwoman Watts asked Mr. Garrett to step to the podium. She directed to him that he had heard the comments that the neighbors had made about his property. She indicated that there apparently was no one there watching the property or doing what had to be done. She asked him what he had decided to do with the property. Scott Garrett indicated they would continue to monitor it and keep it clean. He stated he had worked with the City in the past. He commented they had a tractor out there at least once a year. He said they had a tractor out there last Spring. He stated they usually wait until after the weeds had grown and they disked the whole site. He indicated they work around the structure where ever they cannot disk but they do have a tractor out there. He commented a couple of years ago they had cleared it all the way to the shoreline. He said there had been a lot of stuff they had cleared out, debris. He indicated.it mysteriously reappears. He stated they had spent a couple of weeks on the shoreline a couple of years ago cleaning up all sorts of stuff. He commented they would make every effort and they would like to work with the City on a couple of ideas which he felt was not appropriate to discuss right now. He indicated he would like to work with the staff to say this was how we would like to monitor the site better. Board Member Fagan asked was he claiming they had been maintaining the property both the grounds and the building over the last four years. Scott Garrett indicated the grounds, yes. He stated he could only speak from what he had seen since the time he had been in the building and that had been from the time they had taken it over. He commented he had never seen it in good shape. He said he was not saying it was not in good shape, he was sure it was in shape, but from the time that they had taken it over the addition that was Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 8 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 I I made onto the front where the last caretaker lived was there, the roof had always leaked and stuff like that. Board Member Fagan asked when he took the property over was it in the condition like you see in those pictures. Scott Garrett indicated no, it had degraded. He stated the electricity in the building was working and they had rewired all the lights around the building recently. He commented when the price of copper got high in the last couple of months or year, they had come in and stole everything they had. He said the panel energized, they had electricity through the building, motion detector lights, they had done everything and they tried to keep the building as secure as they could. He indicated they would like to work with the City to see if they could do something more. He stated that talking to the City staff that day, their people were out there cleaning and when they were out there it was mostly kids coming out of the hills and some coming from Bonnie Bell Street or Bonnie Lane whatever it was. He indicated they would make an effort to repair the fence but the fence gets cut on the street and the kids come out of the hill and they could not chase them down but they go back across Grand Avenue up into the hills. Board Member Fagan indicated what he was hearing him say was that he was unable to maintain the property. Scott Garrett indicated he did not believe he was saying that. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman indicated it seemed to him the biggest issue was the lack of security on the site itself. He stated you could not expect that vacant parcel, almost forty acres, was that correct? Scott Garrett concurred. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman stated without anyone on site you were going to get vagrant activity out there constantly. He commented they were going to need a security on that site. He said going back two years ago when the Board declared it a nuisance, he believed Linda somebody. Code Enforcement Officer Slater corrected Nancy Daniels. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman concurred, Nancy Daniels. He indicated she had represented his company, and they had put the effort out at that time. He commented they had secured the site like he had commented but the biggest improvement was having the security guard on site. He stated that deterred most all the activity and it was not until after the guard left that the building went downhill again. Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 9 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 Scott Garrett indicated that was what they would like to do, and he had spoken to Manager Chipman last week about whether they could put someone on site. He stated they would like to have lights to light it up which meant they would have to have electricity. He commented they could have someone there, someone who could stay or maybe a shift of people with a trailer. He said given the situation and given this was going to be like this, the economy was going to be the way it was nothing was probably going to happen on the site for a couple of years. He indicated they needed to get power to the site in order to light it up in order to have security lighting. He stated they did have power at one time. He commented they paid a guy and put all those lights in. He said they wanted power to the pole so they could get lights on the site which would be very important to them. Chairwoman Watts indicated in 2006 the economy was good and this was 2009 . and the economy was bad but any time you have a building in which no one was there to make sure it was secure people were going to break in. She stated it was a known fact how they were stealing copper or steal anything they thought they could sell. She commented they would steal the building if they thought they could sell it. She said she remembered in 2006 when Ms. Daniels had given them the wonderful presentation stating everything was going to be done. She indicated right before nuisance abatement something gets done but then once it was out of nuisance abatement then it goes downhill. He stated to be honest the City of Lake Elsinore was trying to keep the image we wanted for the City and then to pass this huge boarded up building did not help our image. Scott Garrett commented the most critical thing they needed to do was to put someone or.someone's on the site so they had someone there all the time. He indicated they believed they could do it with generator power. He stated it would be more expensive and it would not be as environmentally friendly but they could do it if they were left with no other option. He commented they would like to get power to the. site so they could re-wire the lights all along the back and all along the front with motion detectors. He stated this way the person or people who were there could see what was moving around because they wanted them to be secure too. He indicated they would work with them however they could. Board Member Fagan asked if they had a plan already. Scott Garrett asked him if he was talking about a plan for the site. Board Member Fagan stated for the plan he was talking about. Scott Garrett asked if he meant was it drawn out on paper. r Board Member Fagan said yes. Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 10 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 Scott Garrett indicated no. He commented the existing pole that was there, they could put a meter back on the pole or if they had to put a new box on that they could. He stated the pole and building were very close and they could run power to the building and not energize the whole building. Board Member Fagan indicated getting power to the building was not the problem. Scott Garrett asked then what was the problem? Board Member Fagan commented keeping the power going to the building. He stated people come by and steal it so it had to have an eye kept on it. Scott Garrett stated he understood. He indicated his electrician had his ladder stolen while he was working there. He commented it was a big ladder. He said they had gone into the basement and stole the ladder and that took work to steal. He stated that they wanted to put someone there fulltime and get water and electricity so they could maintain some of the grounds. He indicated they looked at it as a long term, ongoing situation. He stated they would have to maintain the property a couple of years before they do something else to develop that site. He commented they would like to work with us and agreed they needed to get someone on the site. He said they would like to get more than one person on the site with electricity and water so they could do the best they could. i I Code Enforcement Manager Chipman indicated the Board did not have the latitude to grant you power and/or the right to have someone stay on the property. He stated that would be handled through the City Hall and Planning and Zoning and Building. He commented they had discussed the power issue a week ago. He said Mr. Fagan was correct simply giving power to the site was not the answer. He indicated it would have to be in conjunction with the whole plan that you would lay out regarding security and who was to be on site. He stated it would not be just somebody he hired off the street to be security, it would be a trained security person or personnel. He commented there would have to be a whole plan laid down before the City would agree to that. He indicated it had gone drastically downhill. He stated he was shocked when he saw it that day. He commented those people were right. He said from a couple of years ago when Nancy Daniels cleaned up, it had deteriorated drastically. He indicated Officer Slater and him saw signs. He stated they saw the brush underneath the basement which looked like someone was getting ready to light the building on fire. Scott Garrett indicated that was done with effort. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman stated someone had done that. Agenda Item No Page of PAGE II - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 Scott Garrett commented the palm fronds did not just walk under there. He said ~I someone took a lot of effort to do that. He indicated he would have his people pull that out and get it out there. He stated he noticed that when he was out there on Thursday or Friday. Chairwoman Watts thanked Mr. Garrett. She asked if the Board had anything to discuss. Board Member Fagan stated no. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman asked that Mr. Garrett put together a plan and present it to the City on how he proposed to have onsite security. He stated also that he show how power would be supplied to the property, if the City was willing to give him electricity, how you would use that electricity for security and for whatever reasons. He commented they needed to see the plan put together before they could make those determination. Board Member Fagan indicated with a schedule when these things would be accomplished. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman stated he agreed there had to be a time frame implemented. MOVED BY BOARD MEMBER FAGAN, SECONDED BY CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER CHIPMAN AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE PRESENT TO DECLARE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 15900 GRAND AVENUE, APN 381-050- 0011381-050-002, LAKE IELSINORE, CA, A PUBLIC NUISANCE. 4. 31363 MACHADO STREET APN 379-150-044 LAKE ELSINORE CA Board Member Watts asked Code Enforcement Officer Lopez to speak regarding the case. Code Enforcement Officer Lopez indicated the case was initiated January 7, 2009 on routine patrol. He stated he noticed there was a large amount of graffiti on that particular job site. He commented it had not been maintained to City standards as far as graffiti. He said proper notice was sent with a Notice of Violation and a Warning. He indicated he also sent out one citation. He stated once there was no response, no phone call, nothing, he had decided to take the case to nuisance in order to have the graffiti abated. He stated if the gentleman was willing to get that taken care of by the week's end, he did not have a problem with extending it out. He indicated the other issue that was probably going to happen, not necessarily through Code Enforcement but through Public Works l+ Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 12 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 n was the weed abatement issue. He stated that was a total separate issue but that would probably be noticed soon as well. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman stated the names on the notifications were different than Corman Leigh was there someone else who actually owned the property. Chairwoman Watts asked Mr. Boggs to step up to the mike. Mr. Boggs stated the property was an assemblage of different parcels and this was one of the old parcel owners. He indicated our information was old. He commented they were responsible for the walls and they would take of them. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman stated alright. Board Member Fagan indicated he had driven by that day and there was debris in various parts of the field. Code Enforcement Officer Lopez stated that was a possibility but his only focus at that time was the graffiti. He indicated every time he had gone out there it had been locked so he had not had access to actually go back there to look. He commented that part of the weed abatement process notices were sent out twice F1 a year to vacant parcels such as that one. He said he believed those notices were sent out around March 1 st which would have included that property. Mr. Boggs stated they had done the fall weed abatement but it had grown back since then. He indicated they 'had made efforts to keep the site as secure as they could but obviously kids, vandals and people that do this kind of thing tear that stuff up. He stated there could be some additional debris. He indicated he did not think there was much debris out there because it had been pretty well locked. He-said it was mostly pedestrian traffic that he saw going in and out of there. He commented they had been out there and done some work with EVMWD to try to preserve the integrity of the water system that runs through there which was active. He indicated he would take a look and if there was stuff out there they would get it picked up. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman indicated to Mr. Boggs since his project was on hold due to the economy, did they have a regular crew that went out and maintained the property. Mr. Boggs stated Mr. Chipman was looking at it. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman stated he was the one. Fill Agenda Item No Page of PAGE 13 - NUISANCE ABATEMENT MINUTES - MARCH 17, 2009 Code Enforcement Officer Lopez asked Mr. Boggs for his contact information so if there were any further issues he could just contact him directly. Mr. Boggs indicated that was no problem. Code Enforcement Officer Lopez indicated the information he had was the most recent as recorded through Riverside County and the name that had come up was Wah Taing out of Temecula. Mr. Boggs stated it was hard to explain but there were three pieces of property that were assembled there or maybe four. He explained when they had gone through there and graded the site there were out parcels that were there and the address was the Wah Taing property but the walls were located on the rest of the property. He said that was why ',he was there instead of Mr. Wah Taing. Code Enforcement Officer Lopez indicated that was okay. Code Enforcement Manager Chipman recommended they continue the case to allow Mr. Boggs time to clean up the property and if resolved within the thirty days then they would dismiss the case. MOVED BY CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER CHIPMAN, SECONDED BY CHAIRWOMAN WATTS AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE PRESENT TO CONTINUE THE NUISANCE FOR THIRTY DAYS ON 31363 MACHADO STREET, APN 379-150-044, LAKE ELSINORE, CA 5.

Nuisance Abatement Board Comments: Board Member Fagan indicated the Military Academy was a perfect spot for dumping and he asked Code Enforcement Officer Slater if he had it on a schedule to keep an eye on the property or the Sheriffs Department. Code Enforcement Officer Slater explained he drove by daily and the two new deputies also drove by several times a week with a combination to the locks and were very eager to catch anyone on the property.
