thanked Assistant Plenner Anders for her eftotis associated with this project.
In light of the ongoing construction of certain major projects such as the Domenigoni Reservoir,
the Regional Mall, Johnson Ranch, etc., Mayor P~ Tern Stone commented on how these
project may further impact the City's traff'm congestion and relayed his concern with a
neighborhood street functioning as an artedal road and, therefore, creating cut through traffic for
this particular residential area.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Stone, Mr. Robert Davis of Wilbur Smith Associates, Principal
Transportation Planner, advised that the General Ran Circulation Element Treffic Model has
taken into consideration the construction of the Domenigoni Reservoir, the Regional Mall,
French Valley unincorporated area, the natural growth of the City, etc.; noted that a certain
amount of local traffic from the Campos Verdes and Rodpaugh Hills Estates communities will
utilize the neighborhood street to access Winchester Road, North General Keamy, etc.; advised
that if the street ware closed, individuals would be forced to access arterial streets which will
further impad already congested streets; and stated that the use of stop signs does not slow the
speed of traffic. Mr. Davis further elaborated on the amount of projected vehicles traveling
Sandealing Way, per day if the closure would not be approved; commented on the standards for
local residential streets; and advised that traffic for Rodpaugh Hills will increase by
approximately 360 vehicles par day.

The above-mentioned individuals noted their support for closure of Sandealing Way and Stading
Street for fie following masons:
creation of cut-through traffic and related impacts on the residents
resolution of City-wide traffic congestion should be shared by the entire
City, not one community; f Sandealing Way were opened, all other streets
throughout the City, originally designed as through streets, should be opened
for the entire use of the City
children's safety
grading
impact on property values
devaluation of this community's standard of living
loss of open space
Ms. Mary Rauschenburg, 181 Old Spdngs Road, representing Communities Southwest, relayed
her support of the project, further dadlying the Specific Plan amendment with regard to school
and park acreage; advising that the Sdxx>l District, after the completion of a needs analysis,
concluded that the construction of a middle school would be more necessary than an
elementary school; and noting that the location of the school was chosen because of the
location of the park as well as its distance from major traffic.
Because the tracts have been designed in accordance with the previously adopted Specific
Plan, Mr. Barn/Burnell of T&B Planning, 3242 Hallday, Suite 100, ,Santa Ana, representing
Woodside Homes Development, relayed agreement with the residents' request for street
closure but requested that such approval would net require the developer to redesign the tracts
to eliminate the roadways and that the request be accomplished by merely blocking the
roadway.
Noting that the creation of an alley behind the backyards could be removedi Mr. Bumell further
elaborated on the construction of the block wall along the back edge, the removal of the fencing,
and, thereby, increasing the impacted residents' backyards.
In response to Ms. Hall, Mayor Ford confirmed that the City has joint use agreements with the
School Distdct and Community Services Director Parker noted that staff is in the process of
working on a joint use agreement for the new middle school,
Deputy City Manager Thomhill clarified that the cun'ent conditions of approval require the
developer to construct a six foot retaining wall with landscaping but that the developer has
offered to work with the impacted property owners in an effort to provide an alternative option.
W'd~ regard to grading concem and the inability to construct on the increased portion of the
backyards and, thereby, devaluating that portion of property, Mr. Bumell advised that the City's
existing setbeck requirements would prohibit any construction in that specific area> Mr. Bumell
bdefly reviewed drainage plans, commenting on the existing underground pipe as well as an
overground easement.
Mr. Tim McGinnis of Woodside Homes Development further elaborated on the associated costs
with the proposed landscaping for the impacted property owners.

Mr. Forrest Thomas, representing the Temecula Unified School District, 40516 Rodpaugh,
requested assistance from the City to ensure sidewalks are constructed for those students
at+ending Day Middle School. Mayor Ford briefly referenced an earlier comment, made by
Coundlman Roberrs, with regard to available funding for the City and the School District as it
relates to bicycle and pedestrian walkways.
Mayor Pro Tern Stone requested that the construction of sidewalks be agendized for discussion
at the upcoming CIP Workshop.
At 9:56 P.M., Mayor Ford called a recess and reconvened the moeting at 10:10 P.M.
Them being no additional public input, Mayor Ford, dosed the public headrig.
For Councilman Comerchero, it was noted by Community Services Director Parker that the
reduction in park acreage (10.8 to 3.1 acres) will not affect the Quimby requirements and that
originally more parkland than what was required had been provided and, therefore, the
reduction in parklnd is greater than the reduction in msidantial. Mr. Parkef advised that the
reduction in parklnd was basically the result of the increase in the size of the school which
reduced the residential units and, therefore, reduced the Quimby requimrnents.
Considering the msidants of the area of discussion am not desirous of utilizing these roads for
person .al use and considering the developer has no objection to keeping them dosed as long as
the tract design does not have to be changed, Coundlman Comerchero relayed his suppod to
the closure.
If the roads were opened, Mayor Pro Tem Stone noted that the basic width of these roads would
not allow enough trough traffic to mitigate any traffic concams from Winchester Road and that it
would only create a safety concam for the involved residents. Therefore, Mayor Pro Tern Stone
supported the closure with the following conditions:
- that knox boxes be installed
- that adequate landscaping be provided
- that pedestrian walkway be provided to the Middle School
f
In light of the City's efforts to mitigate City-wide traffic impacts and as well attempt to address
the residents' noted concams, Mayor Ford advised that such action of closure will create a
concantmtion of traffic at local points and, therefore, requested the impacted residents for their
patience when traveling these local points. :
In response to Mayor Ford's suggestion that the property owners be given the option to
construct a landscaped and irrigated crib all in the area where the retaining wall exceeds 6'
high, additional discussion ensued with Mr. McGinnis voidng no objection to his suggestion.
MOTION: Coundlman Lindemans moved to approve staff recommendation with the following
two added conditions under Section 3:
Sandealing Way at the boundary of Campos Verdes and Rodpaugh Estates and
Rodpaugh Road at the boundary of Campos Verdos and Rodpaugh Estates shall
be closed to through traffic. The developer shall install a decorative gate at each
location to effect the closure. The gate shell be equippad with a "Knox Box" to
allow emergency access to the streets and shall provide for pedestrian access
Minute6~032390

through the gate. The location, design, and landscaping for the gates and
areas surrounding them shall be approved by the Director of Community
Development.
In those areas in which a retaining wall will exceed six feet (6'), the developer
shall install a crib wall with landscaping and irrigation, subject to approval of the
plans for the crib wall and landscaping by the Director of Community
Development. In those areas in which the retaining wall is less then six feet (6'),
the developer shell heve the option of installing a crib wall with landscaping and
irrigation or a retaining wall screened with landscaping, subject to approval of the
plans for the crib wall or landscaped retaining wall by the Director of Community
Development. The Director of Community Development may waive the
requirements of this section for a crib wall or landscaped retaining wall upon
the mutual written agreement of the developer and adjacent landowners to
fill the ditch on the border of the Tract and raplace the existing fenring.
The motion was seconded by Coundlman Comerchero and voice vote reflected approval with
the exception of Coundlman Roberrs who abstained.
f
Because every neighborhood and every traffic pattem throughout the City is different,
Coundlman Comerchero noted that every situation will be considered on its own medts and,
therefore, the action taken this evening should not be viewed as precedent setting.
it was noted that the horse trail easement would have to be addressed between the
Homeowners Association and the property owner.
At this time, City Attomey Thorson introduced Ordinance No.99-08 by reading it into the record
by title only.
MOTION: Coundlman Lindemans moved to introduce Ordinance No. 99-08 as amended. The
motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Stone and voice vote reflected approval with the
