She explained that it was a proactive approach that the City paid for to go into a targeted area and clean up a number of houses at one time. She indicated that flyers were sent to at least 300 homes in a targeted area; and then two weeks later there was a big clean up and all the property owner needed to do was bring the items out to the curb; and then CR&R disposed of the items. She indicated that after the clean up the Sheriff Department and Code Enforcement went back to the neighborhood and checked to see if the violations of property owners had been taken care of; and if not the property owner would receive a full page of a notice of violation giving them an additional week to correct the violations.

PREPARED BY: MARLENE BEST, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER APPROVED FOR AGENDA BY: CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE ~'" .~ ~ irk:~Ji f.w. ~ 1 - PIa f-- of.l~7 City of Palm Desert COPS Program ;--... COPS is a group of dedicated volunteers organized to serve as ambassadors of the City and the eyes and ears of the Palm Desert Police Department. The City of Palm Desert provides insurance for this group. The program is sponsored by the City which provides uniforms, transportation, communications, office and meeting facilities, operation and stora&e facilities, and staff to support the program.- ~ . Mission Statement: COPS are citizens who have volunteered in a dedicated manner to support the City and assist its police department in its ambassadorship efforts. The mission of COPS is to assist the community by providing i~formaiton and assistance to citizens and visitors. COPS also provide non-hazardous traffic control assistance at collision scenes. While on duty, COpS volunteers are required to use good judgement and avoid confrontation. They observe and record events taking place, contact their dispatcher and keep out of harm's way. COPS volunteers will maintain a call-out procedure indicating when each volunteer is available for emergency calls. " We hold monthly meetings at City Hall with the COPS members and with the Police Department's liaison;-Deputy Robert Bishop. He is given all-applications . for background checks and fingerPrinting. He also arranges for their training. We have asked the City of Rancho Mirage (next door to Palm Desert) to allow our members to ride along with their COPS members. Rancho Mirage's program has been in effect for a long time and is well organized. When our members are "on duty", especially when they are patrolling areas, they keep in contact with the Police Department (not City Hall staff). They are non-confrontational: if they see something suspicious or something that need police attention, they call the dispatcher. Our group has two Ford Contours equipped with a roof light bar and carrying the COPS decal and wording describing who they are and how to contact them. The cars are. "hand me downs" from the City's car pool. I have attached a picture. i r-- We purchase our uniforms - long slacks, short sleeve shirts, shorts (we're in the desert!), belts, and name clips - from Inland Uniforms, aka Galls Incorporated, 2225 Kansas Avenue, Riverside, CA 92507, 909-781-6366. (That area code may have just changed to 951.) Our rep is Janet Candaleria. In addition to patrols, our members sign up to work special events: our 4th of July celebration in the Civic Center Park, the Golf Cart Parade in November (a BIG deal out here!), any thing where a lot of the public are expected to attend. They help with traffic control, answering questions, and general keeping the peace activities. And, if you haven't already, you might contact the NACOP organization (National Association Citizens on Patrol). www.nacop.org.Mr. Arthur J.

Pfa~ 2/ o.f I. 3 -:J , V.I.P.S. - Volunteers in Police Service No law enforcement agency has all of the necessary resources to keep a community safe on its own. Public Safety and Crime Prevention requires a collaborative partnership between the community and its local Police Department. A truly successful Police Department requires the active support of citizens, both residents and members of the business community. This is where V.I.P.S. comes in. The acro~ym stands for Volunteers in PGtice Service. These dedicated men and women volunteer their time ana seiYices to help make the City of Sausalitoa safer place to live and work. In doing so, a partnership is formed that is the foundation to the department's community oriented policing philosophy. -....,,; Who are V.I.P.S. ? - The V.I.P.S. program is a volunteer organization committed to assisting the Sausalito Police Department in the:r goal of enhancing community safety, protecting life and property, and reducing crime and the fear of crime. The Pclice Department is committed to enhancing community relations by giving the public the opportunity to become more familiar with policing services as well as providing a better understanding of the inner working of the department. Vision for the Future - Each year, the Sausalito Police Department experiences an increase in requests for services from the citizens of Sausalito. Many of the requests deal with subjects that are non-criminal in nature, or involve miscellaneous service. The Department's ability to respond to these requests,. using sworn officers as theresponders, is limited. Sworn officers are primarily directed toward emergency response, investigation of crimes, and calls for services that require powers of arrest. As a result, the need for volunteers continues to grow so that we may free the sworn officer for higher priority tasks while attempting to provide additional community services. ""'" It is anticipated that Volunteers will be needed to establish a Neighborhood PatrolNacation House Check Program, get involved with the Neighborhood Watch Program, and assist with the fomlation of a Disaster Response Program for the City of Sausalito as well as assisting with a variety of responsibilities at Police Headquarters. Neighborhood Patrols - The purpose of this program is to augment and assist the patrol division in a variety of assignments. The volunteers do not perform law enforcement duties, but rather provide services to the community not otherwise offered by a sworn officer due to time and resource limitations. Some of these may include: -./ Vacation home checks -./ Residential and commercial security surveys -./ Traffic, parking and crowd control Headquarters Assignments - There are variety of assignnlents that may include: Public Assistance "-'" fl-AGE . . .

PAG:7 21 0$/]7 VOLUNTEERS IN PUBLIC SAFETY '-' The Sausalito Police Department Volunteers in Public Safety (VIPS) program was established in late 20D2. The7 YIYS are comprised of adult volunteers who volunteer to assist and support the Sausalito Police Department and their community. Generally, VIPS members have graduated from the Department's Citizen Police Academy and wish to get directly involved in providing services to the community. OUf VIPS then receive specialized training to assist ttem with the specific duties they are assigned. Some of our VIPS provide assistance for the Department's administrative staff. Here, the volunteers deliver traffic. citations, crime reports, subpoenas and other important documents and materials to and from the Marin County Civic Center twice a week. Additionally, there is core of volunteers '-"" who assist weekly in the office with special projects. Most often, the VIPS are seen at community events, providing much needed assistance to Police Officers with traffic control, offering directions to visitors, and providing a plethora of other information to our residents and visitors alike. Our VIPS can be seen wearing their uniforms conSIstIng of white Polo shirts (denoting that they are a VIPS), black pants and black baseball caps with the words Sausalito Public Safety Volunteer. In addition, all VIPS lTIembers have a special ID card that is worn \vhile they are performing their volunteer ~Y1JA mfu~ rID. PAGE . g;'. 2/ '-" ~ /31 duties. When you find one of our VIPS at a function, feel free to .)-. ask them questions. The VIPS have also provided manpower for special Department projects including bicycle surveys, passing out~- t>~ycle - ,... ..- - information flyers, seatbelt surveys, marina surveys, and working at D DI checkpoints. Since their inc~ption, the VIPS have provided nearly 1,000 hours of volunteer time to the Police Department and their community. /"'" The VIPS continue to expand their volunteer base through graduations from the Citizen's Police Academy. It is their hope to someday expand their volunteer services to include assistance with Vacation House Checks, Handicapped-Parking Enforcement, Ticketing and Towing of Abandoned Vehicles, Neighborhood Patrols and Disaster Responses.

JWj!i~O ()o"; /J 7 - VOLUNTEERS IN PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAM By: Chris Gallagher, Acting Chair of the Sausalito VIPS ~ The Volunteers in Public Service (VIPS) program was launched officially this past spring with a small group of folks who responded to an article written by Police Chief, Joseph Kreins. The article was published in a previous edition of this Newsletter. Participation has grown to approximately 25 members at our last. meeting, ~ ~hich included members of the latest graduating class of the Citizen's Police Academy. The first official sighting of the VIPS in action came at the City's Halloween event, in which volunteers assisted Officers in traffic control, distributing candy, and basically making sure the little "trick or treaters" stayed safe. Some of the volunteers have been working behind the scenes at the Police Department helping with clerical work, COllrt runs, and keeping the office open on Saturdays. All of these duties are obviously necessary components of running an effective department. The VIPS have been meeting on a regular basis, and their main task has been to complete the necessary paperwork for the group to become an independent non-profit organization. This will allow the VIPS to raise funds on their own behalf for equipment, supplies or training needs without being a drain on the City's budget. They also will be able to raise funds to support the Police Department as well. The volunteers are in the process of ordering uniforms and ID's so they will be readily identifiable, but are not to be confused with the sworn officers. Once folks have their uniforms they will be able to take on more \ formal duties. ~ The volunteers have met with many of members the Police Department to help identify additional areas where department staff might have a need for volunteers. Current needs are helping with traffic at City events, security at the Art Festival, and more frequent court runs. Sgt. Scott Wyatt, who serves as staff support for the group, Chris Gallagher (Bay Model Park Manager), who is the Acting VIPS Chair, and members Jeanne Friedel and Bill McDougal, attended a Volunteers' in Policing State Conference, October 18 & 19, 2002 in Modesto, CA. There were several hundred attendees from other law enforcement agencies that have police volunteer programs. Attendees returned with many creative ideas regarding volunteer training and the future of the VIPS program. The requirements to become a volunteer are completion of the Citizen's Academy, an application form, and fingerprint clearance. The current volunteer pool is excited to be involved with thisnew program and is proud to serve the community as ambassadors for the Police Department and the City. Look for the VIPS at more citywide events.

Deputy Murray is assigned to Sheri:fI's Personnel and is charged with directing and managing information reported on all volunteer groups within the county. Deputy Murray informed me the Department is interested in building it's volunteer forCes. However, at the present time, the Department is concentrating it's efforts on recruiting Reserve Deputies and Posse volunteers first. He said the Department recently completed policy manuals on the first two groups, and is now in the process of developing policies and guidelines to cover Citizen Patrol volunteer groups. At the present time there are no specific Department Directives or guidelines relating to the organizational development of a volunteer Citizens Patrol program. There are presently eight (8) Citizens Patrol volunteer groups operating under 'auspices of the Riverside County Sheri:fI's Department. The groups are listed as follows: Calimesa Citizen's Patrol Desert Hot Springs Citizen's on Patrol Hemet Citizen's Patrol (3 Inc. volunteer groups) Jurupa Valley Citizen's Patrol Moreno Valley Citizen's Patrol Norco Citizen's Patrol Perris Citizen's Patrol Temecula Community Action Patrol -,.,.: .""..... 333 Limited Street Lake Elsinore, CA 92530 td.'j}&i~::~;~\ rr~JJ~ ~O. ~ ~~,,>. /1 r-~u'~ 2--1 C~ 7 37 - ... Citizen's on Patrol Program Continued: My research revealed each of the volunteer groups were formed to meet the specific needs of the community they serve. Most of the groups incorportated for liability reasons. Incorporation ~. allows the organization to take tax exzemptions (50 I-C) and deems them to be a non-profit organization. This status allows the organization to receive donations and conduct fundraisers. Incorporation requires each organization develop by-laws and establish a board of directors to manage the organization The Department interacts with each volunteer group and manages the group through an assigned coordinator. Once the organization is formed, volunteer members are required to complete a Department structured mini-background investigation Backgrounds can be completed by the Personnel Unit or by station investigators. All background investigative reports are forwarded to Personnel Once approved, the report is forwarded back to the station for further processing. The Department accepts no liability for individuals as it relat~ to nyuries sustained during the course of work performed by a volunteer. There are a few exceptions to this rule however, they relate primarily to Reserve and Posse members. It is my understanding the Department may accept some liability for volunteers operating a county-owned vehicle, if ~ured during a call out. General liability and worker's compensenation issues are presently being reviewed by Sheriffs Administration At the present time, volunteers are not covered by worker's compensation benefits. Several stations involved in the citizen patrol programs provided their volunteers with used vehicles, radios, and various other types of equipment, while the remaining stations provide nothing more than volunteer patches and training. The City of Perris provides volunteers. with ...., radios and allows volunteers to share the main radio frequency. In contrast, the Jurupa Valley volunteers receive no financial assistance from the station The volunteer group provides its members with their own radios, phones, and dispatcher. Attached to this memorandum you will find information relating to the Department's Volunteer Program, the National Association Citizens on Patrol, Moreno Valley volunteer programs, and specific information relating to several other station volunteer programs.

A major function of most citizen patrol groups is to provide and assist with traffic control at the scene of auto accidents or other incidents that obstruct the road and create a hazard. This allows law enforcement personnel to go back on patrol and focus on their primary purpose which is to prevent and stop crime. ,-.. http://www.nacop.org/whatarecop.htm Last Updated May 12, 2004 Who and What are Citizens on Patrol? Citizens On Patrol is a generic name used by many to describe a special group of Law Enforcement Volunteers. As the name implies, Citizens On Patrol are Citizens who, after being screened, background checked, and trained by their local law enforcement agency, patrol their communities acting as "Eyes and Ears" for law enforcement. Citizens On Patrol are also referred to as "Citizen Observer Patrols", "Community Action Patrols", "Police Auxiliary Citizens Team", "Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol", ''Volunteers In Policing", "Volunteers On Patrol", as well as other names. Citizen Patrol groups have been in use within the United States for over 20 years. The number of individual Citizen Patrol Volunteers within the United States is estimated to be over 75,000 with groups in every state of the nation. While no standard exists for what C.O.P. groups can or can not do, there are some common themes which are shared among most groups. In addition to wearing identifiable uniforms and driving in marked patrol cars, the most common thread is acting as "Eyes and Ears" for law enforcement. By patrolling their community, on a regular basis, usually in 4-8 hour shifts, Citizen Patrol Volunteers become more familiar with their community and are better able to recognize "suspicious" activity and notify the authorities. Due to their focused patrol activity, it is not uncommon for C.O.P.'s to observe crimes in progress. C.O.P.'s do not take enforcement action, they only observe and report. Citizen Patrol Volunteers are not authorized to carry weapons and ar~ m:M NO. . PAGE '3 / 2( ~J.1:1. 9/29/2004 ~"'''YV J. "5" "- Citizen Patrol volunteers conduct routine checks of businesses before, during and after hours to ensure all is well and report any activity that is suspicious in nature or to focus on areas where there has been an Increase in crime. Citizen Patrol groups offer routine checks for homeowners that are away on vacation or extended periods of time. In the event of a noticeable problem, C.O.P.s can notify an emergency contact left by the homeowner so they may address the problem. Citizen Patrol groups and volunteers also offer routine or on-demand safety checks of seniors living alone or individuals who are unable to move about such as the handicap in their homes. This service is very well received by the community and most people really appreciate knowing someone will check on their loved one and offer assistance if needed. '" http://www.nacop.org/whatarecop.~tm encouraged to avoid physical contact. C.O.P.'s greatest weapon is their established bond with local law enforcement and their ability to communicate directly with them by radio or cellular phones using special dedicated phone numbers. Other common duties performed by Citizen Patrol groups is traffic control at accident scenes, special events, crime scenes, fires, in addition to focused patrols in high crime areas for deterrence. By utilizing C.O.P. groups for such basic yet needed tasks, Police and Sheriffs are able to spend more time on patrol and focus on their primary mission. Another benefit to communities and law enforcement agencies Is cost savings. It is not uncommon for an average size Citizen Patrol group of 50 members to provide a budget savings of several hundred thousand dollars a year by performing these duties. The funds saved can then be used to put more OffIcers and Deputies on the streets or purchase needed equipment. In addition to budget savings, it is not uncommon for active Citizen Patrol groups to reduce crime by an average of 20 percent. Properly implemented, Citizen Patrol groups have proven to be an excellent complement to law enforcement agencies. Using the same members of the community that they protect and serve to help reduce crime is the cornerstone of "Community Oriented Policing" and ''Weed and Seed" programs. Continued use and expansion of Citizen Patrol groups throughout the nation is a vital ingredient to help build strong bonds between citizens and law enforcement. The National Association Citizens On Patrol was founded by, and for, Citizen Patrol Volunteers. As a non-profit, public benefit corporation, the NACOP is the only organization In the world dedicated to supporting the use and growth of Citizen Patrol groups. By understanding the unique needs and requirements of C.O.P. Volunteers and groups, we are able to focus our resources where it will make the most impact. One of our primary efforts is working to gain national recognition and wide spread knowledge of Citizen Patrol groups. This Informational Brochure was developed to help achieve that goal.

CITIZENS PA TROL Section 1306 '""" "<, I""'"" CITIZENS PATROL PROGRAM OVERVIEW In January of 1993, the City of Moreno Valley and it's Police Department began looking at ways for the average citizen to help fight crime. It became apparent that criminal activity was continually on the rise nation-wide and the budgets of most cities and Law Enforcement agencies continue to shrink. It became necessary for the people of the community to take a stand, and actively support the prosecutions of those committing crimes in their neighborhoods With the success of the Anti-Graffiti Program it was decided to expand the role of the Citizen Volunteer. A training program was developed and in November of 1993, the first members of the Moreno Valley Citizens Patrol began training. The concept of the Citizens Patrol is almost the reverse of the Anti-Graffiti Program. The Citizens' Patrol was to be a highly visible force of trained citizens. Members of the patrol were required to attend 28 hours of instruction in criminal law, patrol procedures, traffic control, communications, public relations and first aid. . . . On December 4, 1993, the first 41 members of the Moreno Valley Citizens Patrol graduated and began patrolling the city in teams of two. . These volunteers, although not law enforcement officers, were supplied with the kno~ledge necessary to act as additional eyes, ears and hands. Using two-way radios they can relay any criminal activity, traffic hazards, or public assists they come upon. Members of Citizens Patrol have assisted officers by manning crime scene perimeters, directing traffic at accident '/"'" scenes, assisting stranded motorists, and conducting vacation and business checks. \0.;.: /"'" - 1 - ~ rrEM NO. 2-1 PNiE '-17 Of /37 CITIZENS P ATROLPROGRAM "'" I.

The display board will also have the 700 series designators on it so each responding volunteer can write hislher name next to the designator. The designators 'onthe board will start with 705, so the first CP volunteer to arrive will place hislher name next to the 705 designator. Hislher designator would therefore be 5Moren0705. B. The first volunteer that responds to the station will take with him/her at least 30 blank line- up forms to the call out. The. line up forms will already have preprinted designators on them. Upon arrival at the call out, each volunteer should tell the primary call out volunteer what his/her designator is.

The primary volunteer at the callout should make sure that all the line up forms are updated. VI. . VEHICLES Vehicles that are designated for the use on call outs are the CP vehicles. Volunteers, who are called out, are to take the utility bags, which are located in the CP Office.

Volunteers received training from Sgt. Ron Berry and other staff members of the Perris Station. On February 20, 1998, our first patrol took to the streets of Perris. During the first few months we had to prove to the deputies we were there to assist them in any way possible and once this happen we became part of the "family". The first ten (10) months of 1998 our volunteers were called out to respond to eleven (11) major traffic accidents to provide traffic control sometimes up to ten (10) hours due to the investigations of fatal crashes. We responded to a double homicide to provide crowd and traffic control at the crime scene, where this turned into a learning session for all the volunteers, since we had a large area to control so the deputies could do their investigations. We will cover this training twice a year with all our volunteers, just to keep them alert of what needs to be done at crime scenes. ~ Our volunteers donated 1,999 hours in 1998, which save our city over $100,000 the first year due to all of the call-outs to provide the extra help that was needed and get the deputies back out on patrol where they were needed. During 1999, our volunteers donated 2,400 hours of patrol time with 400 hours of those hours on emergency call-outs. Our volunteers are responsible for the arrest of three D.U.I Drivers and the recovery of four stolen vehicles.

The Team also lost one member to an untimely death. CAP members and Dep. Frost attended the funeral. Dep, Frost also sent a Remembrance Wreath to his widow from the team. Withdrawn Applicants (known): (5)+ The CAP Team suffered approximately five known loses during the application and academy process for new members. These losses occurred with one applicant during the academy because he didn't like the patrol function, two applicants did not want to wait for the next academy, one left prior to the CAP Academy for a paid position and one was dropped from . backgorunds because he advised he would only be in the city for six months out of each year. The Team has also experienced difficulty maintaining the interest of younger applicants in the program because of the significant 'percentage of retired participants. The younger applicants are hesitant to join the program because their peer group is not yet strongly represented. The CAP peer group remains primarily 45 . 75-year-olds within the CAP Team. The Team has noted while we have a higher percentage of people who request a background package, only a small percentage ofthosc applicants follow through by completing the paperwork and returning it to the Police. Department. The CAP Team researched the variety of reasons provided from the applicants who failed tel complete the finala.ppJication. The majority of people were hesitant about the background check and the extensive questioning included. In an attempt to address some of their concerns, we have offered to answer any questions during their completion of tile background package, as well as assure them the backg/'Ounds are only for the police department and will not be duplicated elsewhere.

In the past, the 40-hour CAP Academy was taught: olely by the team coordinator and held two times per year (Winter an j Spring). In an effort to streamline the academy process, but still make i1 a feasible option for retirees as well as working adults. we are currently in a pilot program using CAP team members as supplemental instruct:>rs. While the team coordinator still teaches procedural tactics such as . )fficer safety issues. traffic control. radio communications, and discusse~ all department general orders, the CAP team members have taken over instruction of all the patrol functions and fom1s. This shared instruc1 ion allows for more frequent academy classes, projected at a minimum of four times per year. The next CAP Academy is scheduled for August, 2 :>04.

TO: CHAIRMAN AND BOARDMEMBERS FROM: DICKWATENPAUGH,CITYMANAGER DATE: OCTOBER 13,2004 SUBJECT: SAFETY CONCERNS RAISED IN TUSCANY HILLS BACKGROUND In January 2004, at the time of consideration offormation of a Public Safety Advisory Commission, a communication was sent to the City Council by Mr. Hewison regarding issues primarily related to signage and traffic control in the Tuscany Hills Area. The letter was sent prior to the Commission's formation and Mr. Hewison's appointment. After the Commission was formed, it was requested that the document be forwarded to the Commission. Staff has responded to all of the issues raised. DISCUSSION The letter raised five concerns relating to speed limit signage, street name signs, stop signs, traffic circulation and fire safety. These were passed to the Community Development Department Engineering Division and the Community Services Department Public Works Division. Responses ....., to these concerns are included in the attached documents to this report. All appropriate signs are on order or are being installed. The requested stop sign is not recommended. The fire safety issue has been currently resolved over time and development in the area, however some areas noted are designated to be habitat and will not be able to be cleared in the future. FISCAL IMPACT The new signs are accounted for in the Public Works budget for the current year as sign maintenance items. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Commission receive and file this report: -PREPARED BY: MARLENE BEST, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ""'" d' 7-/ . v'-"'-'" !'cID -,--- P~~\~~Jio~7- .,.......

Speeding is all ongoing concern in Tuscany Hills. There has been considerable build out in the past 4 years but only sporadic action appears to have been taken in addressing the speeding issue. Summerhill is an approved 40-mile per hour road - others are, we are told, subject to the residential limit of 25 mph. A particular difficulty occurs at the junction of Summerhill and Via Oe La Valle (VOL V). Ori~ers who are making a right turn from Summerhill onto VOL V see a 40-mph sign immediately in front ofthem on the light standard on Summerhill- there is no 25-mph sign on either VOL V or Villa Valtelena (VV) - the only two streets that cars can be taking. VOL V continues to be regularly used by builders for Tuscany Estates and OR Horton and will be for Brehm. Residents have also moved into some of the Tuscany Estates homes. We have regularly seen boththe builders' staff and residents speeding. Suggestions: . Place a 25-mph sign on both VDLV and Villa Valtelena . Alert the builder that their staff and contractors are regularly speeding . Advise the /1ew Residents in Tuscany Estates that VDLV is a 25-mph zone .~ 2. Plannin2: for the future should be considered now. Residents living on vy together with some on Villa Milano (VM) were originally the prime users of Villa Valtelena. In the recent past the Volterra tract has opened and many of these drivers are now using VV as an alternative to SwnmerhilL The Brehm development will further increase the traffic flow on VV. Suggestions.' . That consideration is given to VV being converted from a through street to a modified cui de sac - similar to Washington in North Lake. . This to be achieved by stubbing f/l/ at the VV/VM junction. . VV residents below the junction can easily (possibly more easily) access Summerhill by using Villa Real (VR). . VM and Volterra residents can either use VR or access Summerhill direct/vat VM or Villa Ravenna. ~ -.,.,,: '-II" Tel: 909 6745390 - E. Mail: rhewi@aoLcom Pt;;ji;;~ ITE~~ rro. ?- J PAC-! I "32- Of 1-.1 7 Ron Hewison, 35 Villa Valtelena, Tuscany Hills, Lake Elsinore, CA 92532 . "...... 3. Fire Safety needs review. Much of the Brehm growth was cleared during the grading process. However, the slopes between Brelun and Grenhill were not cleared and could serve as a 'fire source' into Tuscany Hills. We believe this was on the original plans as a 'natural area - prior to annexation into the City. The land between Tuscany and Greenwald contains considerable growth that could potentially impact both Tuscany and Canyon Lake. .~. The land surrounding the new Tuscany Estates homes contains growth.. -that. brought the fire close to the homes in the July Railroad Canyon fire. Much of the empty land along Franklin is overgrown. Suggestions: . Determine who is responsible for the uncleared slopes and arrange that they be cleared . Work with Canyon Lake PDA and the BLM 011 clearing the fire dangers in the Greenwald area . Work with the builder (Curtis}and with the residents to create a fire hreak in the Tuscany Estates area ;.--. 4. Street Sifns on Villa Valtelena and Villa Milano. These were the two orginal streets in the Valtelena tract (some 10 years ago) and the signage is an older white on brown rather than the now standard white on blue. The older street signs are difficult to read - particularly at night. Fire and emergency response time could be impacted. The new streets in Tuscany Estates have already been changed from the older brown street signs. Suggestions: . Change the old signs . When changing the signs - move the new sign to the opposite side of the street - they will be more visible for emergency vehicles when required 5. Summerhill/Via Scenica Junction is becoming a potential traffic hazard. Vehicles leaving Scenica have a 'blind' view of approaching traffic on Summerhill, which is typically moving at the speed limit of 40 mph. Suggestion: . Consideration be given to placing a stop sign on Summerhill - admittedly a nuisance for drivers - but potentially very much safer ~, ^'''._ '.-"'." ~ftA. ~jj,A rw. '2- I . _ ~r~~i 33~J7 - -( 2 ,-....

Mail: rhewi@aoLcom '-'" CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE MEMORANDUM TO: Bob Brady, Community Development Director FROM: Ken Seumalo, Engineering Manager Chuck Mackey, City Traffic Engineer ~ September 29, 2004 BY: DATE: SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO ISSUES RAISED BY COMMISSIONER HEWISON A field investigation was conducted Tuesday September 9, 2004 in Tuscany Hills per the subject request. The following responses are numbered in the same order as the request. 1). Speed lirnit signs for 25 MPH will be installed on Villa De La Valle and on Villa Valtelena as requested. 2). While it is likely more traffic volume will travel on Villa Valtelena in the future, traffic '-'" speeds are very likely to be the same as they currently are. The increase of traffic should be readily handled by the streets as the' area is in a specific plan and those increases would be accounted for in the development of the specific plan. No action is recommended. 3). The slopes between Tuscany Hills (D. R. Horton) and the Pulte (Brehm) tracts have been cleared and/or pose little fire danger. The manufactured slopes that have not been graded will remain as natural open space and are required for conservation purposes. With the adoption of the MSHCP, the BLM land and large portion of the North Tuscany Hills area will remain as natural open space and cannot be cleared. The area along Franklin on the south west side of the 1-15 has been cleared through the weed abatement process. 4). This item should be referred to the Public Works Manager for implementation. During the field investigation it was evident that the old brown and white street name signs are faded and not easy to read in daylight. Currently there is no budget item for replacing old and/or faded street name signs. 5). Stop sign installation ''<>n Summerhill at Via Scenica is not recommended. Via Scenica intersects Summerhill on an inside of a curve. While this is not desirable, a search of accident files indicates no accidents at this location. Stop sign controls on an arterial ......., ~~~ rre~A ~ro. 2:-) . . . PAOil3VOf/,7... "....... ~ ~ street like Summerhill is not desirable. Compliance of stopping at the location would become an issue; very likely many, if not most, vehicles would roll or run the sign requiring constant police enforcement. Safety could be worse, not better. Thus, if an accident problem becomes evident, another solution should be implemented, such as the installation of a traffic signal.
