Council Member Gonzales asked if lots will be sold or rented and what is the average lot size. Mr. Santos said rent initially with lot size about 5,000 sq foot, very similar to Saddlebrook. Council Member Gonzales asked what is the average rent for the lot size? Mr. Santos stated it will be $450-$500 per month. Mayor Pro Tem Derrick asked is there any way fire/police could guess what their response time is to Saddlebrook? Chief Stephens, Fire Chief provided an estimate for response time. Mayor Pro Tem Derrick asked about structures in Saddlebrook. Chief Stephens stated they have not lost a structure at Saddlebrood and all manufactured homes must adhere to certain fire materials for housing, just like this development would. Mayor Pro Tem Derrick asked about flooding. Chief Stephens said it doesn't flood early, but could potentially. Mayor Hughson asked about lot size and noted they are more like a single family neighborhood and not what people typically think of when they think of traditional mobile home park. Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked about a rental of property instead of owning the land. He thinks if we are wanting affordable housing then they should own the land. Council Member Gleason mentioned the emergency response time and how this shows the need for another fire department. We are still in need with the expansion of housing and he does support annexation. The motion to approve carried by the following vote: For: 5 - Mayor Pro Tem Derrick, Mayor Hughson, Council Member Baker, Council Member Garza and Council Member Gleason Against: 2 - Council Member Gonzales and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott City of San Marcos Page 10
