ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting to hang two late 20th century motorcycles and accent lighting in the form of illuminated wine bottles from an existing shade canopy. These elements will be visible from the public right -of -way at the intersection of Third Street and Mercedes Street. G: \PLANNING \2014 \PA14 -0106 3rd Street Smokehouse MOMPlanning \Old Town Local Review Board \OTLRB Staff Repon.doc Staff believes that the hanging motorcycles do not fit the aesthetic feel of Old Town described by the Old Town Specific Plan. The Old Town Specific Plan indicates that the 1880's to 1940's represent a significant time period in the City's past history and tradition (pg. II -5, Community Design). In addition, Community Design objectives have been put in place to ensure each project meets the intent of the Old Town Specific Plan. Objective 3 is designed to "Preserve Old Town's architectural legacy by encouraging authentic and historical building forms, historical building frontage types, historically relevant architectural styles, and historically appropriate building materials and color schemes." As a result, staff believes that outdoor elements visible from the public right -of -way must be aesthetically appropriate to the time period indicated in the Old Town Specific Plan. In documentation provided to staff, the applicant has indicated that the motorcycles provide "...a nostalgic look into the past. They offer visitors a glimpse of what was as they visit our historic town." (Source: letter provided to staff by the applicant at submittal). Staff believes, however that these motorcycles do not fit the historic time period described by the Old Town Specific Plan. Staff therefore recommends that they be relocated to an indoor area, or possibly to another location not visible from the public right -of -way. The applicant has also proposed using empty wine bottles to enhance accent lighting under the outdoor canopy. Staff believes these enhancements are truly ancillary to other lighting on -site and will not be highly noticeable from the public right -of -way. RECOMMENDATION Staff has determined that the proposed hanging motorcycles are not in conformance with the intent of the Old Town Specific Plan. The ancillary wine bottle lighting will not be a dominating focal point of the project site and remains in conformance with the Old Town Specific Plan. Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board review, provide comments, and recommend that the motorcycles be removed from their current high profile location. Staff also requests that the Board review, provide comments, and recommend that the wine bottle accent lights be approved. r_0111afT4l:h'd:1:kb'?

Third Street Smokehouse 41915 Third Street Temecula, CA 92590 Old Town Temecula is the nucleus of our great city. The Old Town Specific Plan was developed to create an environment conducive to a positive experience for our local residents as well as our visiting tourists to this fantastic destination. One of the many objectives of the OTSP was to protect the history of our community by offering a guidebook for the proper development of new structures being built for years to come. Additionally, the plan was to help make Old Town a vibrant district with shopping, dining, theatre and a multitude of other activities that bring people to this area. Old Town is about nostalgia. It offers a look into our past while developing for the future. Some other ways we accomplish these goals is in the activities we offer. Western Days, the Temecula Rod Run Car Show, the Quilt Show and many other events celebrating the past. Currently, there are 2 antique Indian Motorcycles that adorn the ceiling of the patio cover at Third Street Smokehouse. These bikes are a nostalgic look into the past. They offer visitors a glimpse of what was as they visit throughout our historic town. But these are not just simply nostalgic motorcycles that offer a look into the past. They have history in our valley. Mike Schelin and his Australian Shepherd, Opee... Known in the motorcycle business as "Mike and Opee ", rode 75 races from Lake Elsinore to Mexico. Mike and Opee raced the Baja 1000, Mexico 500 and over 70 Grand Prix races in Lake Elsinore. A local boy, who retired in 2010, Mike Schelin is so proud to have the legacy of Mike and Opee displayed near the town in which he grow -up racing. The Indian Motorcycle company is one of the oldest American motorcycles still manufactured in the states. Old Town has a huge motorcycle visitor population. I am hopeful that after hearing the facts about the thought process of WHY these bikes hang in our community, you will see the relevance they have and why they hang here.

Says Schelin: "He was my instant best friend.... He's had charisma since Day One. I knew I had a dog who could make a difference." Off - roading pooch is a breed for speed. Opee becomes. a celebrity as fearless motocross racer By Sue :Nanning ASSnCtnrr•.0 PFLES 1 PERRIS, Calif. — Opee is only 8, but he's already, a pop- ular veteran in the down -and- dirty sport of motocross. He can pull 6 Gs. He's been the centerfold for Cycle News its children in hospitals with Schelin. They regularly work crowds at races in the area, including the Supercross in Anaheim. Opee appears to be Sche- lin's biggest fan as well.

He's a survivor of the grueling Baja 500 and has racked up more than 10,000 hours on a dirt bike. Sometimes,, you can barely see the 70 -pound pooch — a blue merle Australian shep- herd — through the dust on his goggles and his custom helmet, complete with cam. "I am his_ biggest fan," said Mike Schelin, Opee's owner and race partner and a pur- veyor of used motorcycle parts from a shop next to his mobile home. ;Schelin got the dog in 2001 — .shortly_after_ his, divorm...I3e raises hits with other dogs and two horses at a spread he calls Miracle Flats. Known as "The Dogfathere "tosome in the sport,:.Schelin . always takes a backseat to , Opee. "He was my instant best friend," Schelin said. "He slept in my tool bag - There was something about him. He's had charisma since Day One. I knew I had a dog 'who could make a difference." Schelin, 41, realized he had a four - legged motocross fan as a pet when he started riding in the desert with Opee on the chase. "I felt bad for him. He would run so long." So Schelin bought a four - wheeler, and they went desert riding together. The dog didn't like the dust in his eyes, so Schelin got him gog glen. One day, Opee ditched the four - wheeler and hopped onto the motorcycle tank, where he's been ever since, Schelin said. If the bike isn't moving, Opee just falls asleep on the tank. They keep it bare be- cause they've never found a covering that's comfortable for the dog, Schelin said. Reaction to Opee was mag- ic. He was an instant canine ambassador to off - roading. Finding sponsors was no problem, and soon Opee had enetnm agar inehldina a nprlr ., nC all" ouutu gu auywucic with him," said Ricky Johnson, a seven -time nation- al motorcycle champion who owns Perris Raceway near Schelin's place. Opee and Schelin race; but not to win Because they're different, and for safety's sake, they always start in the. rear and compete only with the cyclist in front of them, Schelin, said. Schelin's greatest triumph came when his five - member team — with Opee in the driv- ees seat for 276 miles — fin- ished th e cross - country Baja .500_with_10.minutes to - spare _ — in 17 hours, 49 minutes, 36 seconds — and ahead of half the pack. "The average person races eight times before he finish- es," Schelin said. In the beginning, he had trouble seeing around Opee, but they worked out shifts and leans, and it's seldom a problem now. Schelin also uses voice commands. "When we come up to a jump, I tell him to set it up, and he will drop down and give me more of a view," Sche- lin said. If they're at the bot- tom of a cliff or big hill and there's too much weight, he just tells Opee to get off and meet him at the top. Schelin doesn't go racing without Opee these days. "I can't go as fast without him. I can't jump . as far without him. I don't feel as safe with- out him. He's become a natu- ral part of the bike with me. We have this natural rhythm Even the most skilled mo- tocross racer has a plaster - cast past, and Opee is no ex- ception. His worst crash came in the 2006 Baja 500. "We took a spill at 75 m.p.h. in the dirt and went into a 40 -foot skid," Schelin said. The dog isn't attached to the bike or Schelin in any way. He skinned his nose and c "noti a nam Rrhplin clir,ld Page 2 of 3 JJI tLWo. Schelin answered a Holly- wood agent's TV ad three years-ago, but he hasn't heard back and is looking for repre- sentation. Opee, he said, is too talented to go undiscov- ered.

He got his American Motorcycle As- sociation card and his SCORE International card, the latter so he could race in Baja. The dog does lots of other things, too. He's been a search- and - rescuer and a Cali- fornia assistance dog, and vis- one of his legs. The igjuries weren't enough to put them out of the race, though. "I would never do anything to hurt my dog," Schelin said. "Opee keeps me in check at all times. If he doesn't jump up on the bike, we don't go." Schelin is not only racing partner but stage dad for his dog, with a few goals for the future: Do a backflip with Open and Schelin do not race to win.
