2020-06-17 City Council Item No. 10.14 Public Comment - Miller Attachment (4) Regular MEETING - Additional Meeting Materials
Legado Non Mitigatable and Violates all Overriding
Considerations
Offices of Miller, Rivera, Catlin
P.O. Box 1341 Elsinore, California 92531
Absolutley “NO” on Legado at Encanto, Chambers, and
Rouse Streets Menifee
Traffic
This project will cause unbelievable traffic on either Encanto\Ethanac or Encanto\McCall.
Which line do you want to sit in? How will First Respondents get to the emergency? How
will students arrive at school on time from the West side to the East Side. What will happen
to I-215 when events occur? Events like football or Music Concerts at the 4,500 seat MSJC
football Stadium and the nightly gaggle of cars and trucks for the movie theater or the
morning to work and return cars and trucks mix down? It is Not feasible to move all this
traffic. The project could add up to 50,000 extra car and truck traffic a day. The Level of
Service and Miles per Car will continue to clog up I-215 and Menifee Surface streets.
Accidents like the one at Haun and Newport that left people without cars and injuries June
14, 2020 will be daily.
Air Quality
The Analyzers of this project says it fails to address Air
Quality, Health Risk, Traffic Increase, Greenhouse Gases.
That is technical Directive Swap F-40
The NOX Emissions are unmitigatable and unavoidable unless developer, Newport Pacific
Land, removes his application for entire project and sells it to a Habitation Preservation
Projects.
When you put in more Parks The AQIA Air Quality Index does not address the accuracy of unknown
people accessing the park from other neighborhoods because it can’t accept by comparing the parks at
Rosetta Canyon, Wheatfield, Heritage Lakes, Audie Murphy. Too many tract houses and too high of Air
Quality Index Acculmulation of Nitric Oxide, Ozone, PM. No need to put the face masks away: Just
write “Menifee Air Quality Index over 500” on the front of your Face Mask.
Park
The Park is an enticement to neighbors who oppose the houses and it would be those recently built houses
on the North side of the area, Stone Gate and the new neighbors on the East side, Travela. All of which
are already too many houses not counting the multiple houses stretching out to McCall. The last one
there, now, and should be the last one at all.
Who needs the park? Don't build they won't come. We need the Native fields to house the rats, fields,
fleas, earwigs, skunks, mice, coyotes, bobcats which are a serious problem in Riverside County.
The Bobcats and Coyotes and owls are removing people’s pets because the land where they resided has
been paved over, The more you cut down natural trees, washes, and bull doze fields the more rats come
into housing tracts and the only thing left to control them is raptor birds. Rodencides have been banned
by the California Legislature and such poisons kills wildlife up the food chain. There is a baseball
diamond behind Bel Air Estates belonging to Junior High Hans Christainen School. When school isn’t
in session, the public should be able to use the already existing ball fields. There are parks thru out
Heritage Lakes and 32 Parks in Menifee. We don’t need another water guzzling Park. We need to stop
any more houses including 784 Cimmaron Ridge, more Audie Murphy and the 117 Lennar Houses at
McCall. Move the materials that have already been ordered for more housing to Michigan to replace
the houses that were flooded partially because of what California is doing to change the weather with
concentrating heat from over development, paving the natural fields, and deforesting and strip mining
for the materials for such Environmental atrocities. Do you even get that the wood for the roofs of new
houses and the sticks come from rainforests: The very forests that generate our oxygen and were burned
by people in the Amazon last year so a conservative could have more tax dollars for his government.
Look at how he is repaid: 4,000 deaths a day from COVID. Instant Karma is going to get you Menifee.
Menifee East Side is totally over built. Menifee, South, North, East and West is built out and people can
organize to get shuttle buses over to parks from their neighborhoods if parks are their reason to
slaughter more land.
Basins/FloodPlains
The entire property is a flood absorbing plain and laced with man made and natural washes and troughs
that absorb the waters from flooding off the steep hill on the North East corner and filling Stone gate and
Bel Aire Estates. Once it is paved waters could rise above the flood gates of the basins and look like to
Temecula floods of 1986.
The basins are adjoining the freeway and at the North East end. These basins may be cesspools for
mosquitoes if enough water cannot be evaporated soon enough in the Spring. We are starting to get some
rain and more cases of West Nile mosquitoes.
The biologists David Moskovitz has no vision of the need of flood plains to absorb the 500 or
100 year floods as he allowed the permitting of this project plus claims there is no riparian
habitat. There would be more trees, native riparian habitat and more shade in Menifee if over
paving Menifee and all of Southern California wasn’t dried up from current over building
resulting in intense over heating and decreased tree filled washes.
The Fairy Shrimp surveys revealed egg cycts in the walls of the washes and will come again
wth proper rain.
Water Quantity
Southern California Water Sources do not have the capacity to provide for the build out
stage or the Home Owner phase and continue proper water pressure and distribution
quantity. This even with strict rationing as what went on for 7 years during the last 11 year
drought. You won’t be able to have gardens, plants, wash your car. We must rebuild our
underground water sources for generations to come and not allow more people into drought
stricken West. Western Lakes have not made a dent in their 100 feet drop which is what
Lake Shasta and Lake Meade experienced. Get over it and recycle Newport Pacific Land
Developers into another occupation.
Earth Quakes
The extremely steep hill on the East side on Rouse Street has Rock out cropping that would flatten
the houses should they be shaken from their hill side. There are two ways out of the Legado complex
and once they hit a long stream of traffic on McCall or Ethanac it will be a parking lot. This property
has wash areas that are beginnings of liquification of flat lands which means buildings start to
collapse when the Earth starts shaking. The sub strata layers of Earth and Rock start to become very
unstable. The more heavy buildings we place on susceptible areas like Riverside County, the more
possibilities that the Earth will give way.
First Respondents
How will ambulances and Fire Trucks get thru the traffic to arrive in a timely manner to Car
Accidents, House Fires, Major Fires, desperate call for Medical Emergencies. What if you are one of
these victims and a few more minutes would have saved you from the damage that early response
to a stroke could have been prevented. You may be too damaged to sue the City of Menifee. At
least someone will do it for you and Menifee will pay the price.
Noise
I couldn’t hear the Planning Commission Meeting March 13, because there were so many
inconsiderate people driving Big Trucks and small non-muffled cars around Menifee as usual
and I should have been in the Chambers listening to No votes by the Planning Commission.
Instead I was listening on line to irresponsible votes. The noise during build out will be
deafening for the Junior High, Stone Gate Community, Shadel Homes. The noise from cars,
trucks, air conditioners, mowers will send the noise from this area over the acceptable
decible level 45 dBA Ldn. We have to deal with what is already here which is the noise i-215
and the Airport.
Hazardous Waste Dumping Grounds
The lady, Katie, that used to come to City Council when it was legal as in held with face to face Public
brought up that the property was known for hazardous waste dumping grounds for as far back as the
days when truck drivers who brought toxic wastes from different parts of the Country as far away as
New York would bring truck loads of the substances and to keep the deposit fee for themselves would
leave it in fields all over Menifee. I, Have myself, witnessed trucks coming into fields and unloading raw
sewage on the grounds. This has sickened residents East of which ever fields they have chosen.
Endangered Animals
Neighbors have testified at sightings of Burrowing Owls catching rats and voles, Cooper’s
Hawks,and other Raptors siting in the trees at the North West End and Bells Vireo in the trees
at the South side.
I have seen and heard the coyotes. I have felt the pain of their removing pets from the
neighborhood. Three cats disappeared in a week. That is when they bull dozed for Travela.
They hunt in the fields thru out Menifee. They are now seen on the Sun City Golf Courses.
Aesthetics
Apparently the Commercial Building will majorily block our vielw of the Sna Gorgonio Mountains and
destroy the Rural Scenery. This added to unattractive roof tops will further drive people out of
California.
Fire Hazard
https://cityofmenifee.us/225/S-4-Fire-Hazards
Cal Forest & Fire says that there are 40 Fires as in Fields\Flat Land in Menifee every year.
These could easily approach Mobile Home Parks and Tract Housing Commercial or Retail
Occupied Buildings. This already approaches a long hot Summer with excessive heat5 and
people starting riots because of Police Brutality. We don’t need to add fuel for fires with
half built homes which is what will happen because of the uncertain economy.
The Analyzers of this project says it fails to
address Air Quality, Health Risk, Traffic Increase,
Greenhouse Gases. Swap F-40
The NOX Emissions are unmitigatable and unavoidable unless developer removes his
application for entire project and sells it to a Habitation Preservation Projects.
Displacement of Endangered Wildlife
There have been several articles in the newspaper that have indicated that Wildlife have
moved into neighborhoods and they are hunting people’s pets. I sadly experienced this and
several people that I know cannot let their new cats that replaced their old ones out to deter
rats. Every time Menifee starts a new building project animals run for the neighboring
option and that is people’s property. Keeping up your pet isn’t the answer. The answer is
to accept that Menifee is built out and Stop Building Anything.
2020 Riots
If you think the riots destroying property in 30 Cities across the USA because of more Police
Brutality is bad today, then, wait until these people have poor water distribution, health
threatening Air quality, too many people to keep the grocery stores stocked, schools whose
agenda is crowd control, pandemics spreading and terminating life. These housing projects
always have their share of people escaping the City and their gangster relatives who
eventually find them out here and bring unfortunate behaviour and human trafficking.
Menifee needs to deal with who is here and offer the Community Services Churches, After
School Programs, Community College Opportunities, Parks and Recreational Activites and
Products from Green Businesses.
And who is going to buy these houses as one quarter of the people have filed for
unemployment. The developers should not risk taking out the loans and the City should not
risk taking out the bonds because this is going to get partially built and the economy is going
to fall and half built structures will be left all over Riverside County as the Board of Supervisors
and the California State Legislature precognitively and illiterately have not frozen all
development and only permit remodeling and retrofitting bridges and not start anything new.
This all means that the people suing you will bring all this up in Riverside Superior Court.
Tract 37391 would drastically negatively impact the Quality of Life on the Earth with more heat
pouring out of Southern California and decreasing the visual aesthetics of the landscape.
Obviously, people are not safe in Riverside County from crime, water quality, air pollution,
people let out of jails by Ronald Regan and have mated producing next generation of behavioral
issues, rent hikes, forced moving. Leave the rest of Riverside County to the the design of Our
Creator and his Animal and Vegetation Kingdom.
Did Naggar or Newport Pacific Land Developers bribe or pay off the terrible repercussions of
this project. Naggar approached me one day and said He would give me 200 dollars for a Blo-
j-- for 4 men in his car two of which were juevenils. These are not respectable people.
