PUBLIC HEARING Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 26941, Change of Zone No. 22 and the Addendum to Environmental Impact Report No. 230 Planner Craig Ruiz presented the staff report. Chairman Fahey opened the public hearing at 6:20 P.M. Ernie Egger, TPC, 27447 Enterprise Circle West, Temecula, representing the applicant, Taylor Woodrow Homes, stated the re-design efforts of Lot 6 through Lot 9 resulted in standard shaped and sized lots and a reduction in both grading and the grade of driveways. John Wayland, 33342 Pauba Road, Temecula, representing the Pauba Ranchos Property Owners Association, presented the Commission with the following list and concerns regarding the Crowne Hill Project: amount of traffic and maintenance issues relative to roads in the area, provision of equestrian trails, parking for the park site, street lighting, General Plan consistency, buffer treatment, above ground utilities, and possible impact on property values. Chairman Fahey advised that a number of the issues raised by Mr. Wayland cannot be addressed by the Commission because they do not relate to Tract Map No. 26941. PCMIN02/01/93 -2- 2/15/93 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 1993 Harry Clark, 31010 Avenida Buena Suerte, Temecula, advised the Commission that the engineer for the project has stated that Cee Cee Lane is not necessary to the project. Mr. Clark asked the Commission to consider this statement. Ernie Egger, responded that Crowne Hill Drive will carry a substantial amount of traffic to Pauba, however, Tract Map 23143 is conditioned to provide frontage improvements to Pauba Road and a traffic signal at Pauba Road and Crowne Hill Drive. Addressing the issue of traffic traveling east through the project, Mr. Egger stated that there is no need for traffic to travel east. Regarding Cee Cee Lane, Mr. Egger stated that this road is not necessary to the project and the developer would have no problem deleting that link. He added that an equestrian trail is shown along Cee Cee Lane, however, the wash area is open and can be used by equestrians. Mr. Egger advised that no designs have been developed for the park but it is anticipated that the park site will provide ample parking. Mr. Egger stated that the developer is willing to provide the minimum street lighting on public roads and no street lights on the private roads and the developer would agree to a condition requiring construction equipment to access the site from the west through the Taylor Woodrow Tract. Commissioner Hoagland asked staff to address the road issues. Ray Casey stated that the City has had some discussions with the Assessment District who did the construction of Pauba Road about doing the half-width plus one lane improvements, and if that is done, the City will consider accepting Pauba Road for maintenance. Ray Casey added that the same could be done with Via Del Monte and Cee Cee Lane once the improvements that are conditioned by the map are complete. Mr. Ray Casey indicated that an agreement with the County of Riverside must be completed, prior to acceptance by the City for maintenance. Commissioner Chiniaeff questioned if staff would agree to ending Cee Cee Lane at Gastell, creating a cul-de-sac. Assistant City Attorney John Cavanaugh suggested that the Fire Department be consulted about their concerns regarding closing off Cee Cee Lane. Chairman Fahey expressed concern that there are no equestrian trails provided by this developer except for those along the flood plain. Commissioner Chiniaeff suggested that an equestrian easement be created along the five acre lots in the buffer area and maintained by the Homeowners Association. Commissioner Chiniaeff suggested Lots 7, 8 and 9 be combined, and two lots be created split by the existing drainage course, providing minimum five acre lots adjacent to Pauba Ranchos and creating a buffer area. Commissioner Hoagland stated that he feels the City should make a commitment to take over the maintenance and liability of Pauba Road. PCMIN02/01/93 -3- 2/15/93 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 1993 Ernie Egger stated that the developer would agree to all the conditions except creating two lots out of Lots 7, 8 and 9. Adrian Folley, Project Manager, Taylor Woodrow Homes, gave an overview of the project from acquisition and asked the Commission to reconsider their request to combine the three lots. Commissioner Chiniaeff stated that he feels the drainage course is a natural break with the intention of creating a buffer back to the Pauba Ranchos properties. Commissioner Chiniaeff stated that there are pads on the sides of slopes that probably shouldn't be there. It was moved by Commissioner Chiniaeff, seconded by Commissioner Hoagland to recommend Adoption of Resolution No. PC 93-01 recommending Approval of Change of Zone No. 22, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 26941 and the Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report No. 230, based on the Analysis and Findings contained in the Staff Report; and subject to the Conditions of Approval amended as follows: 1. maintenance dedication of Pauba Road; 2.
