Each party to this Agreement shall bear its own attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the arbitration. The costs and fees of the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the
parties to this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator in selecting a Claims Adjuster shall be

jurisdiction over the matter. The Claims Adjuster selected by the arbitrator as aforesaid shall be
deemed the "approved" Claims Adjuster.
The approved Claims Adjuster shall be promptly engaged by the party then
administering the Soils Displacement Warranty program, and the Claims Adjuster so engaged
shall be responsible for promptly investigating, allocating responsibility for and adjusting all claims
which allege that a Soils Subsidence has occurred that is within the coverage of the Soils

AGENDA REPORT D8
TO: Dave Adams, City Manager PJ(^"
FROM: Ray Holland, Interim Director of Engineering & Building
SUBJECT: Consideration of Agreement Establishing Soils Subsidence Remediation
Program; (Tract 16221, William Lyon Homes, Inc.)(Rancho Madrina
Community Association)
RECOMMENDATION
By motion; approve the Agreement Establishing Soils Subsidence Remediation
Program with Rancho Madrina Community Association and William Lyon Homes, Inc.
for Tract 16221, for William Lyon Homes, Inc.
SITUATION
A. Summary and Recommendation
Tentative Tract No. 16221, William Lyon Homes, is required to establish by
agreement, a Soils Subsidence Remediation Program as provided by City
Municipal Code Section 9-3-545, and as conditioned by Resolution No. 03-06-03-
01, page 18, Condition 1.27 (Attachment 1). The agreement, provided in
Attachment 2, provides the mechanism to establish such program. The
agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and found to be consistent
with the provisions of the Code. Staff is, therefore, recommending its approval.
B. Background
On June 3, 2003, the City Council approved William Lyon Homes' Tentative Tract
Map 16221, which allowed the subdivision of a 78.54 acre parcel, into 119
residential lots (Attachment 3). One of the conditions of approval requires the
developer to provide a Soils Subsidence Remediation Program. The final map
was submitted to the City in February of 2004, and is currently in its final review
process.
On August 15, 1995, the City Council passed, approved and adopted
Ordinance No. 768, codifying into the Municipal Code Section 9-3.545, Soils
Subsidence Remediation Program of Title 9, Article 5, "Land Use Remediation
Program of Title 9, Article 5, "Land Use".
Agenda Report September 21, 2004
Paae 2
This program consists of two parts:
Surficial Soils Displacement Element: Directed at minor slope
displacement, defined by the Municipal Code as not exceeding three feet
in depth. The program provides for the developer to deposit an initial
amount of funds based on the slope areas maintained by the HOA. As
residents move into the development, a portion of their monthly fees would
be put into this fund. Once the residents' deposits reached 75% or more
of the developer's initial deposit, then that deposit would be released back
to the developer.
2. Catastrophic Soils Displacement Element: Requires the formation of a
Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD). The GHAD provides a
mechanism by which any major slope failure could be abated by
assessment to the property owners. It is intended to provide for repairs in
the long term beyond the developer's obligation.
This Agenda Report deals only with the Surficial Soils Displacement Element.
The Catastrophic Soils Displacement Element is concurrently being formed and
processed separately as it requires City Council authorization to initiate the
District, followed by a public hearing process.
William Lyon Homes Inc. Agreement
The Agreement (Attachment 2) has been drafted and reviewed by City staff and
the City Attorney and found to be consistent with the Municipal Code
requirements. Important elements provided in the agreement include:
Developer's liability for any slope failure within the first three-year period.
Surficial slope damages could be paid for using the Geologic Hazard
Abatement District if the costs exceed the amount in the Surficial Slope
Damage Program fund.
3. Return of developer's funds consistent with the requirements of the San
Juan Municipal Code.
4. Homeowner assessments to special fund.
The City Attorney has reviewed this Agreement and found it to be consistent with
the City's Municipal Code requirements and other applicable provisions of law.
Staff believes the Agreement is acceptable and recommends approval by the
City Council.

Planning Department conditions of approval
L-1 Prior to final map approval, the project shall secure approval of a preliminary site
plan to relocate and rehabilitate the Arley Leck House off-site (note: relocation of
the Ariey Leck House to the Los Rios "SP" Specific Plan area requires approval of
