ensure the adherence of code requirements, Mr. Raymond Merrill, 40392 Calle Katerine,
apprised the City Council and the public that he has purchased a home which has
numerous code violations which were, in his opinion, due to the developer's and City's
neglect.

that the two required parking garages must be 10' x 20'; that U.S. Homes has orally
indicated a willingness to comply with this requirement; and that with respect to the third
car space, the City has consistently interpreted, as per Code, that the 10' x 20'
requirement does not apply. Mr. Comerchero also advised that Chief Building Official
Elmo will be doing an inspection on Apdl 12, 2000 and that the wiring issue will as well
be addressed to ensure its compliance to Code. Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero requested
that staff keep the Council apprised of the matter.

Paine, 43750 Los Caballos Road, noted that, in his opinion, the proposed ordinance is
