PUBLIC COMMENTS
A. Ms. Pam Barret, 39897 Milkmaid Lane, Murrieta, proudly displayed the Temecula
afghan which she had designed, advising that the sale of these afghans ($50.00) will profit
Chaparral High School baseball.
Councilman Lindemans suggested that the first afghan' be purchased by City Hall.
Temecula City Council o317~
Councilman Comerchero suggested that additional afghans be purchased which could be
utilized for future presents to Sister Cities and other dignitaries.
B. Voicing no objection to the Council imposing restrictions with regard to RV parking
on public streets, Mr. John Koran, 40645 La Colina Road, relayed his objection to the City
imposing restrictions with regard to RV parking on private property. Because many of the
RV owners are senior citizens and on fixed incomes, Mr. Koran noted that the additional
expense for RV storage may be financially infeasible; therefore, he stated that the issue of
RV parking on private property should be at the owner's discretion.
C. Advising that he is a RV owner, Mr. Frank Geyer, 40466 Chauncey Way, informed
the Council that in order to preserve his neighbors' views, he stores his RV and pays
monthly dues.
D. Submitting photographs of what he viewed as rundown conditions in the Old Town
area, Mr. Norman Taylor, 30048 Via Velez, relayed his opposition to restricting RV parking
on public streets.
E. Concurring that restrictions should be imposed ~to ensure that no dangerous/reckless
situations are created on public streets as a result of RV parking, Mr. Eddie Salitore, 42733
San Julian Place, noted that, in his opinion, individuals should be permitted to park RVs on
driveways if no other location on the private property were feasible.
F. Mr. Mike Ramey, 40583 Windsor Road, recommended that a Citizens' Committee,
comprised of RV owners, non-RV owners, and neutral entities, be formed in an effort to
address the issues of concern. Mr. Ramey noted that, in his opinion, any vehicle extending
into the sidewalk should be considered a safety issue. He suggested that future
developments be required to designate a specific number of lots as RV accessible.
In response to the written information submitted by Mr. Ramey, Councilman Lindemans
requested that staff contact the City of Fullerton to determine how this City resolved a
similar RV parking problem.
G. Because of safety and aesthetics concerns, Mr. Bill Gray, 40414 Yardley Court,
relayed his objection to RV parking on public streets and, therefore, concurred with
imposing a requirement that RVs must be stored. ~
H. Mr. Dwaine Lewis, 40461 Calle Medusa, RV owner, spoke in support of an ordinance
which would permit three-day visitor parking and permit 24 hours to load the RV and 24
hours to unload.
I. Viewing the visual appearance of a recreational vehicle as unsightly, Mr. Gerald
Hansen, 30398 Senela Court, encouraged the City Council to impose restrictions requiring
the removal of any RV from driveways and public streets.
Temecula City Coun¢tl 031798
J. Mr. Bill Brown, 30959 Del Rey Road, relayed his opposition to imposing a stricter
ordinance than what currently exists.
K. Pleased with the increasing diversity of the transportation provided to the residents,
Mr. Ed Dool, Temecula Stage Stop, informed the Council that Greyhound services have
been expanded to include a 7:55 A.M. route to San Diego with two return routes at
3:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M.
L. On behalf of his father, Mr. Ed Elder, who is not a RV owner, Mr. Travis Elder
relayed his father's opposition to government to dictating whether or not an individual may
or may not park a RV in the driveway especially if measures were undertaken to maintain
high aesthetic standards. If safety issues or other RV issues require resolution, Mr. Eider
encouraged the City Council to address those issues versus imposing restrictions which
would impact all RV owners.
CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Clarifying recent comments published in the local newspaper with regard to traffic
improvement projects and associated funding, Councilman Comerchero noted that at a
recent City Council Workshop, the City Council allocated previously undesignated funds in
the amount of $3.5 million for traffic improvements and prioritized previously budgeted
projects in the amount of $6.9 million.
In an effort to expeditiously complete the above-referenced projects, Councilman Stone
advised that three additional engineers will be hired.
B. Councilman Stone advised that the Wine Country Chapter of City of Hope will have a
fundraiser at Oscars on Monday, March 23, 1998, spopsored by Paradise Chevrolet.
Advising that all proceeds from the $35 ticket price will profit the City of Hope, Councilman
Stone invited all to attend.
In an effort to find a cure for cancer, Councilman Lindemans as well encouraged those
interested to attend this fundraiser.
C. In light of the two recent Saturday City Council Workshops, Councilman Lindemans
thanked staff for their time and effort. Noting that major topics of discussion included
traffic issues, Mr. Lindemans relayed his amazement that certain individuals such as Mr.
Sam Pratt were not in attendance of the meeting considering his past concerns with City
traffic issues.
D. Referencing the Public/Traffic Safety Commission's recommendations of May 22,
1997, Mayor Pro Tem Ford requested that these recommendations be distributed to the
Temacula CiW Council
031798
Councilmembers. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Ford, Director of Public Works Kicak
advised that these recommendations would be included as topics of discussion at the future
Capital Improvement Projects Workshop.

agenda material), noting the following:
that the design for the interim signal, authorized in last year's Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP), was completed in February; that it was anticipated
that the signal would be constructed by August/September;
that approval by FHWA for the widening of Pala Bridge Road (from two lanes to
six lanes) was subsequent to the CIP budget of last year;
that the bridge construction, the widening of Pala Road, and the extension of
Rainbow Canyon Road would require the removal of the interim signal
approximately eight to ten months after the installation of the interim signal;
minutes\031798 1 1
Temecula Citv Council 031798
that staff would recommend the delay of the interim signal at Pala Road and
Rainbow Canyon road and propose to install a permanent signal with the new
six-lane highway as Pala Road is realigned and Rainbow Canyon Road is
connected to it; anticipated completion date late 1999 to early 2000;
that a number of residents on Rainbow Canyon Road are in opposition to the
installation of the signal at this time because a signal at Pala Road and Rainbow
Canyon Road will draw additional traffic into the residential neighborhood; that
the residents would prefer a signal at Murfield Road and that studies are being
completed to determine whether or not a signal at Murfield would be warranted;
that there is a four-way stop sign at Loma Linda Road;
that if the study would indicate that a signal at Murfield would be warranted,
this signal could be completed within seven to eight months;
that the salvage value of a custom traffic signal is nominal.
In order to obtain safer ingress and egress for the community, Ms. Marilyn Givens, 45526
Tournament Lane, requested the installation of a signal at Murfield Road.
For Councilman Comerchero, Public Works Director Kicak noted that once the bridge
improvements have been completed, a signal will be warranted at Rainbow Canyon Road.
In response to Councilman Lindemans suggestion to utilize pedestrian tunnels under the
roadway, Mayor Pro Tern Ford noted that there are two issue of concern -- pedestrian
movement and turn movements at Rainbow Canyon Road and Murfield Road.
Echoing Ms. Givens' safety concerns, Ms. Karen Locklin, 30861 Bardmoor Drive, commented
on the increased traffic in the neighborhood as a result of the Pechanga Center, additional
developments, potential zoning changes, and upcoming development of the Senior Center.
Although two traffic signals are needed, Ms. Locklin noted that a signal at Murfield Road would
be the preferred choice.
Mayor Pro Tem Ford suggested that this matter be continued to the March 31, 1998, City
Council meeting at which time it will have been determined whether or not a signal at Murfield
Road would be warranted and a more defined estimated date of completion could be provided.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Ford, Ms. Locklin voiced no objection to a continuance.
MOTION: Councilman Stone moved to continue this item to the March 31, 1998, City Council
meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lindemans and voice vote reflected
