PUBLIC FORUM
Audrey Hicks, Gramma Audrey's Antiques & Collectibles, 28636 Front Street, #100,
Temecula, read from her letter to Mr. David Dixon and Mr. Gary Thornhill, regarding the
approval of a wooden cart on Front and Main Streets in Old Town used for street vending.
Ms. Hicks said that the cart is vacant more than occupied, it protrudes into the public right-of-
way, and she feels that the cart will have a negative impact on the retail vendors in Old Town.
She said that she feels the retail space vendors should be allowed first opportunity to place

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 10, 1993
a street cart in Old Town and the placement of the cart should be approved by the surrounding
property owners. Ms. Hicks said that she is very concerned with the liability of the City with
this cart placed in the public right-of-way and unattended. Ms. Hicks asked staff to provide
her with a copy of the current ordinance and policies pertaining to street vending.
Bob Lord, 301 20 Pechanga Drive, Temecula, Property Manager of Butterfield Square in Old
Town, said that he was not in opposition to the carts in Old Town as part of the Old Town
Specific Plan, however, he said that he feels that the placement of the carts should be
discretionary and the cart owner should pay rent for the space in Old Town.
Planning Director Gary Thornhill advised the Council that staff will be bring back a report on
this matter on the August 24, 1 993 agenda.
Robert Buelna, 31 1 21 El Torito Court, Temecula, advised the Council that his home is directly
behind the tot lot at Loma Linda Park and things are being thrown over the fence into his
backyard on a daily basis. Mr. Bueina said that the park continues to be over-watered and
water is running into his property.
Community Services Director Shawn Nelson advised the Council that he has spoken with Mr.
Buelna about these problems and he will continue to work with him to try and resolve the
matter. Director Nelson said that the City has not taken over maintenance of the park and he
is working with the contractor on the water problems at this time.
CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Mayor Pro Tem Roberts said that at a recent City Council meeting the City was presented with
a commemorative poster and pin from the 1993 Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival and later
at a reception for the general manager of the festival, he was presented with a check in the
amount of $2,500, as the first installment on the loan from the City of Temecula to the
Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival.
Councilmember Parks advised that he attended the Murrieta Creek Advisory Committee
meeting last month and the County Flood Control District is proposing a plan to reduce the
quantity of water running through Old Town by using overflow areas, such as part of the
Rancho California Water District acquisition as well as part of the park site the City has
purchased off of Cherry Street.
City Manager David Dixon stated that he was informed of the recommendations of the
committee and he advised there may be some ramifications because taxpayer funds were used
to purchase the park site.
