Good morning Ms. Abraham, Please include this document and photos for tonight’s city council
meeting.
Good evening City of Lake Elsinore City Council,
My name is Jim Winkler and I live in Wildomar in Canyon VIEW Estates. Our property borders the
proposed project on the North West border. My family and I moved here for the wide open spaces and
great views offered in our community.
The plan we are here to discuss and subsequent plans for the remainder of the project will take away any
view our community was promised when the land/homes were divided and structured. The same family
that established our community is also behind the Canyon Hills Estates project. The current plans would
place track homes at 50 feet from our back fence.
It has been 18 years since the environmental impact report was completed for this project. The area has
changed drastically and the infrastructure has not kept up. How long is an EIR good for? How much
major change to an area does it take to require a new updated EIR? Why has the safety of this area of
Lake Elsinore been ignored?
The safety of this area is already significantly at risk because of the poor emergency egress limited to
only Canyon Hills Road. If any problems occur at the Railroad Canyon and Canyon Hills Rds egress
would be limited to a single lane RD where Canyon Hills transitions to Holland in Menifee.
Any additional homes built in this area will worsen the safety of every community member.
Any additional homes built will only worsen the overcrowded schools in the area.
At the last meeting regarding this project the council requested that the Lake Elsinore planning
department review and reach out to the Wildomar city planner. It was also requested that the developer
reach out to our community. Neither happened!!
I have included photos of our community.
Jim Winkler, RN
