Mayor Buckley indicated that he thought it was a nice first step, but suggested considering maximum percentages per business and maybe a three year update. MOVED BY KELLEY, SECONDED BY SCHIFFNER TO APPROVE THE MAINTENANCE SERVICE AGREEMENT AND APPROVE THE QUALIFICATION PROCESS FOR MAINTENANCE SERVICE CONTRACTORS AS DESCRIBED IN THE STAFF REPORT. Councilman Hickman commented that he liked that this would emphasize Lake Elsinore businesses. THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. 37. Design Review No. R 2004-04 for the "Rams ate Apartment _ Homes" by Fairfield Development, L.P. (F:138.2) Community Development Director Brady explained that this item was for 352 apartment homes, located one mile north of 1-15 on the south side of Highway 74. He detailed the site plan which would include 14 buildings, a pool and recreation facility. He detailed the access points, noting that the project was just over 17 acres in size, with a density of just over 20 units per acre. He noted that it would be well under the allowed density. Mayor Buckley questioned the detail on the location. Community Development Director Brady outlined the location. Mayor Buckley further questioned an area adjacent to the project. Mr. Brady indicated that the area in question would be single family homes, in the County area. Councilman Magee indicated that his only concern was that there were currently several businesses in the County area, and once this project was Page Twenty-Four— City Council Minutes—August 24, 2004 elevated above Highway 74, the new residents might be impacted by the dust and light from the existing businesses. He suggested a condition be included in the rental agreement to acknowledge the existence of businesses and had the right to do so. David Wright, applicant, introduced Ed McCoy representing Fairfield Development. Mr. McCoy indicated such a condition would be fine with them, as they had done it elsewhere near agriculture or airports. Councilman Magee inquired if he could run the proposed language by staff. Mr. McCoy confirmed. Councilman Hickman indicated that he was glad to see that they were using recycled water, but they were also using drip irrigation. He expressed concern with recycled water getting into the Lake. He also questioned the affordable housing. City Attorney Leibold indicated that under the MOU, they would be paying for affordable housing on lots 256, 258 and 259. She clarified that they were to be included within the project, but there was an opportunity for them to make a payment of$2,500 per unit, not to exceed $392,000. Councilman Hickman questioned if they would have wood fences or view fences. Mr. Wright indicated that the majority of the project had slopes around it, and those would be retaining walls with railing on top; and otherwise there would be no fencing. Councilman Hickman suggested round galvanized tubing. He questioned if this company was associated with Fairfield Inns. Mr. McCoy indicated that they were not associated. Mayor Buckley questioned the affordable housing. Mr. McCoy indicated that they were paying the in-lieu fee for 157 units for the entire specific plan. Councilman Hickman inquired if the drains in the street would be covered to protect them. Community Development Director Brady indicated that there would be filters required to address the run-off.
