Planning Director Gary Thornhill presented the staff report recommending that the City Council reaffirm the Planning Commission decision to deny the applicant's request. Councilmember Birdsall advised that she would abstain from participating on this matter due to the close proximity of a business owned by she and her husband. City Attorney Scott Field advised the Council that since a quorum would not exists as a result of Councilmember Birdsall's abstention, the matter should be continued to a date when a quorum is present. Mayor Mui)oz opened the Public Hearing at 7:42 PM Charles T. Bell, 1 1 3E Bay Avenue, Newport Beach, CA, representing the applicant objected to delays of this matter because of the cost to the applicant. It was moved by Councilmember Parks, seconded by Councilmember Birdsall to continue the Public Hearing to the meeting of June 8, 1 993. The motion was unanimously carried, with Councilmember Stone and Mayor Pro Tem Roberts absent. 1 2 Amendment to Ordinance Regulating Temporary SiQns Planning Director Gary Thornhill introduced the staff report outlining the recommendations of the Planning Commission. Mayor Mufioz stated that he would not oppose allowing an addition six month delay of enforcement but he feels it is time the City begins to gain compliance with the existing ordinance for the sake of overall aesthetics within the community. He also indicated he would be willing to allow certain temporary signs to remain in place for up to 33% of the year. Minutes\5/25\93 -5- 11/01/95 City Council Minutes MaV 25, 1993 Councilmember Parks stated a concern with eliminating all A-frame signs in areas other than Old Town Temecula, and indicated he feels that allowing them to be used for at least 1 6% of the year would be appropriate. Council discussed the periods of time that should be permitted for attached and detached temporary signs. Councilmember Birdsall suggested that enforcement be instituted immediately, but that only a warning be issued within the first 90 days after adoption of the ordinance. The City Council, by consensus, deferred further consideration of this matter to a later point in the agenda to allow staff to make the discussed modifications to the ordinance. RECESS Mayor Mufioz declared a recess at 8:08 PM, the meeting was reconvened immediately following the Temecula Community Services District and the Temecula Redevelopment Agency meetings at 8:47 PM. 1 3 Vesting Tentative Tract Mai) 26941, Change of Zone No. 22 (A subdivision consisting of 1 33 acres northerly of DePortola Road, southerly of Pauba Road and easterly of Butterfield Stage Road.) Planning Director Gary Thornhill presented the staff report and indicated a correction to the Conditions of Approval, eliminating condition No. 99 relating to Quimby Fees, since this has been covered on the underlying map. He also advised that a condition No. 33 should be added relating to trails to read, "Prior to the issuance of the first occupancy permit, the equestrian trail along the entire easterly boundary shall be completed. The trail shall be consistent with that shown in the Tentative Map and the design guidelines prepared by Planning and Design Solutions". Councilmember Birdsall clarified that this new condition is to follow condition No. 32, not replace the condition shown as No. 33 in the staff report. Mayor Mufioz opened the pubic hearing at 8:58 PM. John Wayland, 33342 Pauba Road, addressed the Council speaking on behalf of the Pauba Ranchos Homeowners Association. He addressed access to Cee Cee Road and stated the applicant will be required to install a road, to city standards and to be maintained by the City, that will adjoin the country road maintained by the Homeowners in the area. Mr. Wayland expressed concern that this may lead to additional liability for the property owners in Pauba Ranchos. City Engineer/Public Works Director Tim Seriet stated that he believes it is in the best interests of the homeowners in the area to have standard paved roads installed at the time of adjacent development. He advised that if the property owners have objections, Minutes\5/25\93 -6- 11/01/95 City Council Minutes May 25, 1993 the condition can be eliminated since this road is not need to serve ingress or egress needs of the residents of the new development. Mr. Wayland also questioned if the equestrian/recreational trails within the proposed development will be open to the public. Community Services Director Shawn Nelson responded that the trail along Pauba Road would be an open, public trail and that the trails within the proposed development will be maintained by the Crowne Hill Homeowners Association and as such, access to the residents of Pauba Ranchos would need to be granted, possibly by way of a reciprocal agreement between the two organizations. Mr. Wayland then addressed the dedication of Pauba Road and asked who would have responsibility for maintenance of the Road when it is fully improved. Tim Serlet, Public Works Director responded that the City will be responsible for maintaining the portion that is within the City's boundaries (approximately 66%). Perimeter walls and fencing were also discussed by Mr. Wayland who stated that the Pauba Ranchos Property Owners Association would prefer to see three-rail wood fencing on the eastern boundary of the development. Finally he questioned the height that will be allowed for structures on the lots which lie within 200 feet of the existing airstrip. Tim Serlet advised that this had been addressed by the Planning Commission and that an avigation easement is required prior to recordation. RECESS Mayor Mufioz declared a one-minute break to change the tape at 9:26 PM Ernie Egger, 27463 Enterprise Circle West, Temecula, representing the applicant, Taylor Woodrow Homes, stated that the condition to improve Cee Cee Lane was placed on the map prior to closing a cul-de-sac and the developer is not opposed to deleting the condition to improve that road since it will not be possible for Crowne Hill lots to access it due to existing topography. He also stated that the applicant would not oppose a change in the condition to provide white rail fencing rather than block walls on the easterly boundary of the development. With regard to the height limitation, he stated that a natural 40 foot elevation change creates a buffer at the end of the landing strip and should not pose a problem since the building heights on the two adjoining lots will be 32 feet. The applicant requested that Condition 93 be modified to allow septic systems wherever possible rather than requiring all lots to be connected to the EMWD sewer system. Public Works Director Seriet stated, that as a matter of policy, he would recommend sewer systems be required on all new development within the City. Councilmember Parks indicated that if the applicant can show good percolation exists on the lots, he would not be opposed to allowing use of septic systems. Minutes\5/25\93 -7- 11/01/95 CitV Council Minutes MaV 25, 1993 Planning Director Gary Thornhill clarified that the applicant has referred to a 28-lot subdivision, when the proposal before the Council is for a 27-lot subdivision, based upon the Planning Commission's previous action. Mr. Eggers stated that the applicant has redesigned the project to address the Planning Commission concerns that the lots on Cee Cee Lane be all five-acre lots to buffer the smaller residential lots and the Pauba Ranchos property. It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Parks to continue the public hearing to the meeting of July 1 3, 1 993 and refer the concerns regarding septic vs sewer systems and the design as it relates to the additional lot to staff. The motion was unanimously carried, with Mayor Pro Tem Roberts and Councilmember Stone absent. 1 2. Amendment to Ordinance Reciulating Temporary SiQns(Continued) City Attorney Scott Field requested additional clarification from the Council regarding changes to be made to the ordinance prior to adoption. He asked if Council wished to place a maximum number of days that a combination of temporary signs would be permitted, and how the recommended percentages should be implemented. Consensus direction was that 1) the period allowed in any given year would not exceed 1 20 days; 2) that the allowed period for attached temporary signs would be 30 days on and 60 days off and 3) detached signs would be allowed on a not to exceed 30 days, twice a year with at least a 60-day period between permits. Councilmember Birdsall questioned how the one-year period would be structured and suggested that to aid in monitoring the temporary permit periods a "sticker" system be developed for placement on the permitted signs indicating the approved time period. It was moved by Councilmember Parks, seconded by Councilmember Birdsall to extend the meeting at 1 0:00 PM for an additional 30 minutes. The motion was unanimously carried, with Mayor Pro Tem Roberts and Councilmember Stone absent. 1 4Appointment of Planninci Commission Member City Clerk June Greek presented the staff report, outlining the recommendations from the Ad Hoc Committee consisting of Councilmember Parks and Councilmember Stone.

Minutes\5/25\93 -8- 11/01/95 City Council Minutes May 25, 1993 1 5 Lease of Microfilm Equipment City Clerk June Greek presented the staff report recommending the approval of a lease with Burtronics Company for microfilm reproduction equipment to implementthe City's Records Management program. Councilmember Birdsall asked if funds were available for the City to consider an outright purchase rather than lease of this equipment. Finance Officer Mary Jane McLarney stated that staff can research this and bring it back for consideration at a later time. Mayor Muiioz asked how many cities in the Inland Empire are currently utilizing this type of equipment. Barbara Bullard, representing Burtronics responded that approximately 90% of the cities in Riverside and San Bernardino counties are microfilming documents. It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Parks to approve staff recommendation, with the proviso that if it is economically feasible to purchase this equipment a purchase agreement will be brought back to the Council for approval. The motion was unanimously carried, with Mayor Pro Tem Roberts and Councilmember Stone absent. 1 2Amendment to Ordinance Regulating Temporary City Attorney Scott Field read the changes to the proposed ordinance as follows: "Section 4, Subsection C-1 In any year attached and detached temporary signage may not be used in any combination.
