Mr. Hankins read suggested language into the record for the first portion of Section 2.01 as follows: "The parties desire that development within the District be conducted as compatibly as possible with in-City develop- ment. . . . The parties agree hat the property within the District will be developed and improvements constructed thereon in conformance with the then current Standard Codes relating to building, fire pre- vention, gas, mechanical, plumbing and swimming pools, as published by the Southern-Building Code Congress International and the Nation- al Electric Code. . . . LRL agrees to impose certain deedrestric- tions . . . and a requirement that an extended insured warranty pro- gram which includes a mandatory inspection procedure by inspectors who are duly qualified in the disciplines for which they are making the inspection, be provided on each residence constructed and sold within the District." Mayor Younger moved to amend the Agreement attached to the Ordinance as re~d into the record by Mr. Hankins and Mr. Farr seconded the motion. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Brown, Coddington, Farr, Younger, Kissler, Nicola. NAY: Guerra. ABSTAIN: None. Beginning with the very next sentence in Section 2.01, Mr. Hankins suggested wording regarding inspections. The Council discussed 24 hours being too short a period of time, and Mr. Robbins stated he was more comfortable with 48 hours. Mr. Robbins stated the City should inspect for the City's standards and not pay for their warranty in- spections and suggested they handle their warranty inspections. Mr. Gonzalez stated the inspections could be contracted out and set a fee to cover whatever costs are involved. Jeff Lewis expressed concern for inspections of slabs if 48 hours was applied, and Mr. Robbins stated slabs would take priority. Mr. Robbins and Mr. Lewis reached consensus on wording of 24 hour inspections on slabs and 48 hours on all other inspections. Mr. Hankins suggested the following wording: "The program must provide covereage for at least five years. Said inspections will be done by the City at rates no higher than tïï:õ"S'e established by the applicable building codes and will be provided within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of a request for foundation inspectionsahd forty-eight (48) hours for all other inspections. Such inspectors shall be certified to satisfy the requirements of the ex- tended insured warranty program. Mayor Younger moved to amend the Agreement attached to the Ordinance in Section 2.01 as read into the record by Mr. Hankins and Mr. Farr seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Beginning with the very next sentence in Section 2.01, Mr. Hankins suggested wording regarding the deed restrictions: "The deed re- strictions will include requirements as to setbacks, buffers and simi- lar matters and be based, quantitatively and qualitatively, upon the City of San Marcos zoning and landscaping standards in effect on the date of this Agreement." Mr. Hankins continued reading the language as written through eight lines and three words on Page 3 of the Agree- ment. Mr. Lewis agreed for the underlined wording starting on the fourth line of Page 3 (provided, however, if modifications to the deed restrictions are intended to reduce the minimum requirements, the City Planning Department does not approve the modification, the arbitration procedure described in this Section 2.01 is to be utilized) to be deleted in its entirety and a period be placed at the end of the preceding word "modification". Mr. Lewis stated he was concerned the City might require standards they would not be able to meet at a future
