finally be some results . There have been trees lit up around
the old Bashas' and up Phelps. One of the goals has been to
start there and get all the trees lit up and gradually work its
way out from there, similar to what you see in Tempe where you
go by and see the bridge lit up It is very inviting. It makes
you want to go to the restaurants . After tomorrow' s meeting
they hope there will be instructions in the paper on how
everyone can help with adopting a tree to light up. It will
make our downtown much more enjoyable and welcoming. He
encouraged everyone to look for it in the papers
There was general discussion on what could be stated during this
part of the agenda
Councilmember Wilson commented he was involved with others in
collecting contributions for the Fourth of July at the football
field. He was informed they collected a little over $1, 700 that
would be used for next year' s fireworks He thanked everyone
who contributed to it A number of people came back to donate
money to it. They gave huge complements to the display and what
they saw They contributed additional dollars as well . He
thanked everyone involved.
Councilmember Barker stated they estimated between 7, 000 and
10, 000 people attended the Fourth of July Celebration to watch
the fireworks display from the field, the stands and the area
surrounding it. That is a tremendous amount of people She
thanked the library for the terrific report they turned out. It
is available to the public at the library It is beautifully
done, telling everything the library does . Everyone needs to
read it and see how many people have shown up there
ON Mayor Insalaco commented the Fourth of July was very well done.
He thanked the parks and recreation department. They had their
stuff together He felt sorry that he dunked the police chief
in the dunk tank, but he did it legally. He threw the ball and
hit it; he did not go up and pop the thing. He got thoroughly
soaked but he is still alive.
Vice Mayor Eck commented he noticed this year more than ever the
control of traffic by the police department Kudos to the chief
and his staff because it seemed like before there was a
presence of officers, but this year it seemed like they were

working it and they kept control of the traffic. He also
thanked the public works department He was really impressed.

CONSTRUCTION OF A 43-UNIT SENIOR
HOUSING FACILITY
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy briefed the council on the item
Councilmember Barker stated
he mentioned that there were four major areas that were being
protested traffic, view shed, crime and property values She
asked if he could quickly address those areas .
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy stated those were statements that were given and
summarized in the protest petitions. The applicant has turned
in a memo describing each one of those.
Councilmember Barker stated emiS
she just wanted the public to hear that The council has read
it, but the public has not heard the reasons that the applicants
gave and their justification.
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy asked if she wanted him to go through the memo
Councilmember Barker asked
him to do so rapidly
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL

PAGE 4 OF 35
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy stated he needed to grab the memo.
Councilmember Barker
commented while he was looking for the memo that the applicant
had said about the traffic that it was because of the age of the
group of people who would reside there, that traffic would
actually be less than it would be for another development of
that sort She asked if that is correct.
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy stated what he has in front of the memo is just some
extra information that the applicant turned in. He could refer
that over to the applicant for further explanation.
Councilmember Barker stated
that would work.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated the applicant should present her case immediately after
Todd in done He does not know if he is done or if there are
any other questions from the council for Todd.
Vice Mayor Eck asked if he
would go back to where he had it lined out with the yellow He
asked how far they have to be from the yellow line to the red to
be able to build He asked if it is 150 feet
Councilmember Barker stated
that is the distance for the people that will be affected by
this and who would be able to protest .
Vice Mayor Eck commented that
is only for the send out of the notification He was looking at
this and trying to find out how far away the building should
actually be from the property line.
Mayor Insalaco commented he
thinks he is asking how far the building will be from the
property line
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy stated it is a 50' side yard setback.

/^
Vice Mayor Eck stated he is
just trying to capture one of those four that he put up on how
they are going to affect the neighbors
Mayor Insalaco commented the
building is not going to be on the property line
Councilmember Wilson asked
why they could not move these buildings to be off of ValleyemN
instead of off of the west side
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy stated he was confused by the question
Councilmember Wilson asked if
they could put it over to the right instead of where it is now
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy stated this could be a question for the applicant, but
to the best of his knowledge it was to preserve the open space,
leave an open feel to it, and keep it in line with existing
development. The applicant could clarify it more.
Vice Mayor Eck asked if this
is age restricted.
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy stated it is It is for age 62 and over
Mayor Insalaco commented
there would not be many people driving He requested the
applicant address the council.
Ms. Stephanie Rowe, Reece-
Angell-Rowe Architects, 4343 E. Avalon Drive, Phoenix, addressed
the council. She stated the building is proposed to be located
there because of a natural wash that comes through the
southeastern portion of the site They are trying to maintain
that . They have to for drainage purposes and they want to
maintain it as an open, natural wash. The building will be kept
off that area. The north/south leg of the building will provide
shade for our exterior common area from the west sun. Regarding
the traffic question, there are 43 apartments They are low
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
JULY 6, 2010
PAGE 6 OF 35
income, elderly apartments Based on Christian Care' s 43 plus
years of experience with this type of resident, only about 40%
of the residents will have a vehicle when they move in and many
of them will sell their vehicles off after that because of the
services provided on site and bus trips to grocery stores and so
on They do not need the vehicles as much. The visitor rate is
approximately 10% on any given day, which would be 4 to 5
vehicles There is one staff member there each day Comparing
it to another apartment building, it will have a very low
traffic impact. They asked for a reduction in parking spaces .
They have enough room on site for 57 spaces, but they would
prefer to keep it in a naturally landscaped area rather than
paved parking spaces that no one would be in. Regarding
decreased property values, that is a difficult issue to address .
Typically, any new construction and improvements aid an area,
but it is hard to document that one way or the other. The
potential increase in crime is another difficult issue They
will say that they will have 43 very neighborhood block-oriented
watchful residents there They are there and they pay
attention. Christian Care' s other facilities are very clean,
safe and orderly properties . They do not believe they will
cause any crime factor. Being low income residents, they are
certainly not a target to attract outside crime. Regarding the
blocked mountain views, she had done a little sketch. It was
taken from the actual geographic peak height, and it shows the
location of their building and the locations of the residences
that complained. The dashed line that travels out there is a
sight line from one of the residences that filed a petition. It
shows it going across the peak of their building and where it
would impact on the mountains They would only block a very
small width-wise portion of the mountains and do not take out
the peak at all. She showed a drawing of the sightline with
someone standing in the backyard.
Councilmember Dietz asked if
this would be available for any type of Section 8 housing
Ms Stephanie Rowe stated it
would not It is low income, elderly housing but it is not
Section 8
Mayor Insalaco commented
those are some of the rumors he had heard.

Vice Mayor Eck commented as
far as he could tell, this is really built to protect the people
on the north side, but maybe not as much on the west. The
parking is on the west and the south He does not know if they
are having shuttles come in, but all the individual parking is
on the west and south. He does not see traffic being an issue
for them. He does not feel there will be an issue with the view
or crime as there are only 43 units with seniors No one will
be able to walk through there without someone seeing somethingeimN
He thinks it is unfortunate when you live in an area that has a
nice open area next to you. When he came on 13 years ago, this
was an issue. It did not make it past planning and zoning
because there was too much chaos and too many complaints.
Mayor Insalaco commented it
was three stories then
Vice Mayor Eck commented he
was glad he did not have to come on the council and deal with
such an issue. Now, 13 years later, it is coming back It has
been vacant that whole time This is much more favorable They
do have some property rights . They have a blank piece of
property and have suggestions on doing it different ways. He
thinks this is about as friendly to the neighbors as it can be
with the way it is set up
Councilmember Wilson
commented he appreciated their information on the wash and he
understands. He has walked the property and came back to the
city to talk to them. He has a clear view of what they are
proposing and the impact The only one that will be
dramatically affected is the one house on the west side He elS
stepped off from the church approximately 200' and took a
picture. They will lose the south section of the Superstition
view from their backyard. He cannot see an impact on the others
across the street as far as the view shed. He was wondering
about moving the whole thing further onto the east side It was
a concern after talking to a neighbor there who had stated if it
could be moved over so it would not dramatically affect her view
she would not have any problems . That is what he wanted to
express . He asked if they are all two stories.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
JULY 6, 2010
PAGE 8 OF 35
Ms. Stephanie Rowe stated it
is a single two-story building
Councilmember Wilson stated
he understands the total height of the building, including the
peak, is 30' 4" .
Ms Stephanie Rowe stated
that is correct .
Councilmember Wilson stated
the current church height is 28' . That is why he used the
distance off the church and the gymnasium to see what the impact
would be He is torn on that as it is affecting the one view
shed. He understands, but he wishes there were a way of working
it out .
Councilmember Barker
commented one of the major things to think about is that if this
property remains GR, it can have a 30' building there. It is
perfectly legal They could have something crammed right up
next to setbacks The setbacks are 20' or less in GR. It could
be much more densely packed than this, this is very moderate in
comparison to what GR would allow in this particular area That
is something to keep in mind also
Vice Mayor Eck commented that
accessory buildings have a 3' setback.
Mayor Insalaco commented
something will go on this property someday if this one does not
They might not have a chance to argue if it stays a GR. Right
across the street the Superstition Mental Health building will
be 3 stories high. Apache Junction has to learn how to grow up,
and he is not talking about age They are not making any more
land He asked if there were any more questions of the
applicant As there were none, he opened the public hearing on
the item
Ms. Tammy Lechner, 1467 W.
Greasewood, Apache Junction, addressed the council . She stated
she opposes the new building.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL

PAGE 9 OF 35
Ms Mary DeHaan, 1929 W.
Greasewood, Apache Junction, addressed the council . She stated
her view is where they propose to put the building She has
lived there 18 years They cannot produce traffic in their
neighborhood; she cannot have a business in her home that
produces traffic. The driveway for this building should be on
Valley Drive, not her street There has already been crime at
the church itself. People will be parking in front of their
homes during visitor hours and during church hours . They stated
they do not need that many parking spaces but she went to the
70th Street unit and took photos on Father' s Day The spaces
were all full. She is 63, works, drives and will not be selling
her car She does not understand why they think people will
sell their cars . They are active seniors . This is not assisted
living. A lot of people cut down Greasewood to avoid the
traffic signal and they do not want it to become a speedway
She thought they had 20. 5 percent protests, but she was advised
this morning by Todd that one was being kicked out. Before the
June 8 meeting, Raymond Laws, her neighbor, called and was told
by Todd that he already had his petition When they went to the
meeting, they were told it was not there She went to find out
why there were not enough petitions and found out there are two
Raymonds . Todd confused the last names and advised a petition
was on file for Laws when it was on file for the other Raymond
She contacted them, it was sent to her, they redid it, and she
brought it back in on July 1 . She is now being told that it was
too late The petition should be part of the protest as they
were told that the Laws petition was in their office when it was
not.
Ms. Faye Eachus-Rears, 1326
W. Greasewood, Apache Junction, addressed the council. She PIS
lives directly across from the proposed senior facility. Her
biggest objection is that the gourd area shown on the map is a
wash area but the other part is not. They walk it all the time.
The water designated for a retention area is the wash. She
believes the design is for shade for the residents It would be
better for them to have all the entrances and building on
Valley. The original plan she was shown showed the Greasewood
entrances being for ambulances, utility and delivery vehicles
All other vehicles are to use Valley. She also objected to the
aesthetics of the neighborhood Her father was going to build a
beautiful home in the back and have horses . They have been

discussing the improvements with Todd That is all up in the
air now. She would like to see the "L" flipped if this has to
be done Historically, a lot of their facilities change from
senior housing to assisted living. They are restricted by HUD
for 5 years . A gentleman at a church meeting stated it is
basicallyyes and no A facilitythat he manages right now has
g g
met the 5 year time and they are currently planning to move to
assisted living. They just acquire property and grow This
property is in the middle of a residential neighborhood It is
a quiet neighborhood
Mr. Michael Weller, 471 W.
21st Avenue, Apache Junction, addressed the council He gave
the council a print out on favored destinations by a travel
company About halfway down it says the most painted and
photographed landmark in Arizona after the Grand Canyon are the
Superstition Mountains We are proposing to block it. We bury
utilities yet allow multi-story buildings It is horse property
and horses and high-rises do not work The people want to see
the Superstitions The city needs development but make it a
single story building
Ms. Mary Grammater, 1278 W
Greasewood, Apache Junction, addressed the council. She stated
she and her husband could not file a petition due to the
properties surrounding them and the location of her driveway.
On Sundays in the wintertime they have people attending church
parking on both sides of Valley. She asked if they are going to
require the people moving in to give up their cars . She and her
husband get $900 a month on disability. She is 57, he is 42.
She asked if he would be blocked from moving in if she could at
62 . They do not state if the apartments are single or double;
86 people could be living there. Not everyone will give up
their vehicles and they have no buses out here or a reliable
taxi service. They could not be independent if they gave up
their vehicles . They seem to feel these people would not have
visitors They have parking issues They are saying that a
study in 2004 showed that a traffic signal was not needed at
Valley and Superstition It will impact the neighborhood She
has 5 dogs and has a kennel license Her dogs will bark She
knows the police will be called for barking complaints She
commented there have been criminal acts in the neighborhood that
have not been in the papers, and she has had some dogs poisoned.

She asked them to either make it a one story building or put in
on Valley.
Mr John Kantowski, 835 W
Windsong, Apache Junction, addressed the council . He stated he
feels like this is a big jump to go from GR to C-5/PD He does
not live in this area but does live in a horse property area
Tepee is the dividing line between low and medium density If
everything is changed in the medium density, they need to put a
stop somewhere. He asked why this has been vacant for 13 years .
He does not want a two-story building here The general plan
calls for low to medium density with R-143 on the other side of
Lost Dutchman There are a lot of red shirts here, but none of
these people live within 1, 000 feet of this subdivision The
weight of the decision should go with the homeowners that have
dissented He is trying to protect the horse properties .
Mr. Charles Aulston, 1368 W
Greasewood, Apache Junction, addressed the council He stated
he could not understand why they said these people would be too
old to drive. He is 75 and still drives His neighbor is 93
and still drives It will not work out like these people say it
will It will be very busy on the weekends . He does not know
why these people would even think of building this in their
quiet neighborhood.
Mr. Elliott Fisher, 547 E.
Quail, Apache Junction, addressed the council. He stated he had
been watching the debate on the general plan for 18 years The
north side is for horse people. He is for this project The
problem is they keep amending the general plan to fit what comes
along. People expect something and they get something
different. He thinks this will bring some jobs and revenue.
They will continue to have problems if they deny splitting lots
yet allow a 43-unit project like this go in on the north side of
town
Ms Patricia Bybee, 1431 W
Greasewood, Apache Junction, addressed the council She is the
one directly affected by this She has no problems with
developing the lot but she does not want the hind end of the
building right in her face No one has mentioned the dark sky
ordinance and it will be lit up all the time. She is not happy

with fire trucks and ambulances coming in right next to their
houses. All they would have to do is flip it around and most of
them would be fine with it.
Mr. Bryan Kover, 2985 W.
Whitely, Apache Junction, addressed the council He spoke with
people in charge of the project for the church. There will be
security cameras which will be monitored 24 hours a day. Crime
should not be an issue. If it stays rural, the building height
/, could be higher and the easements could be less, encroaching on
their view and making a bigger impact The town needs
development We need to be more open to development and the
town needs more jobs
Mr Steve Grammater, 1278 W.
Greasewood, Apache Junction, addressed the council He stated
there is a private drive straight across that cannot be seen on
the map. It is owned by the man behind him, and he has seen him
go down and tell people to park somewhere else, especially in
the winter. The parking gets bad. There are not enough parking
spaces, and he would like to see it turned around.
Mayor Insalaco closed the
public hearing with no one else wishing to speak He reopened
the item to council discussion
Councilmember Barker
commented she was concerned about the ambulances going in on
Greasewood. She did not realize it. Either she did not read
her packet well or it went right over her head. It would be a
real problem for her. She has lived in this area for 40 years
and lived in an area that had miles of open desert at the end of
eIN her block She remembers when it was built over with houses
They all thought there would be traffic, but that did not come
to be That part does not concern her as much. She is
concerned about the ambulances, emergency vehicles and supply
vehicles going down a neighborhood street to access this
property. She thinks it is a very poor plan.
Vice Mayor Eck commented he
does hear the concerns He was not fully aware of just how many
people in this small of an area had this many concerns. Part of
him is saying they own the property and have a right to develop

O
it. He believes in property rights. As far as the zoning, it
actually fits the zoning as it is south of Tepee He looks at
the lot and wonders if there is a different building location
that could be used. Everything is pushed to the west side .
That seems to be the main concern The views are legitimate as
the views will be cut off for people living to the west. There
will be a little bit more problem with traffic. He wished they
would look at all means of being friendly neighbors and see if
they cannot manipulate it to a different configuration in order
to not affect the views of the current neighbors . He thinks it
needs to go as far east as possible.
Councilmember Serdy commented
the city definitely needs the jobs. The whole area is shrinking
and they do not need to lose this development If he lived in
those houses, he would want it on the east side as well He
does not know how encumbering it would be to move it. They need
this and it would bring a lot of good
Councilmember Barker asked if
there was any way to work on a reconfiguration of this
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated this is a planned development The applicant is asking
for numerous things that they normally would not be locked into
They can ask, have the applicant come back up and ask her, or
bring it back. Usually these things cost money to design and
they have spent some sums of money to design the current plat
map. It is a council decision. They are asking for things that
are beyond the general zoning. He thinks they could.
Mayor Insalaco commented he
bought a home here and had a beautiful view of the Superstition
Mountains The city water department put up a 3, 000, 000 gallon
water tank right in front of the house It took away the view
of the mountains, but all he had to do was walk around the
building and he saw the Superstitions . There were two 20-acre
vacant lots across the street where he used to walk his dogs
They took away his dogs' play yard by putting homes there The
idea is that he moved there now, and no one else should move
here It seems like every development they get, that is what
they get from people. They do not want to see anyone else move
in or the land be developed This is a feeling he is getting

It does not matter what is brought to this property. The people
are not going to be happy. If they sold it as GR, someone could
put up a big metal building for storage right at the property
line. These are problems they have to solve They do have
feelings for people, but they also have to have feelings for the
entire community He asked the applicant to come forward to see
if there was anything they could do to help out the neighbors.
Ms Stephanie Rowe asked what
ON the question is
Mayor Insalaco and
Councilmember Barker commented the thing that most bothers them
is the driveway for the ambulances and things
Ms . Stephanie Rowe commented
she 3s not sure where they got the idea that the ambulances were
designated for Greasewood She does not believe that is on the
plan. The point of the address being put on Valley Drive was to
make Valley the main access Typically, an ambulance comes to
the address drive.
Councilmember Dietz commented
he looked through this and could not find anything saying the
Greasewood access was for ambulances .
Councilmember Barker
commented that she did not miss it.
Ms . Stephanie Rowe stated she
does not believe it is in there She is not sure what document
that came from
ON
Councilmember Barker
commented there was a valid question brought up by one of the
people that came up regarding the lighting, especially in the
parking lot areas to the north side. She asked what kind of
lighting they are planning on putting in there
Ms Stephanie Rowe stated
they will comply with the dark sky ordinance All the fixtures
will be shielded and down-directed They will meet the city
standards for maximum foot candles at the property lines. All
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
JULY 6, 2010
PAGE 15 OF 35
of those conditions will be met. They have no need for the
building to be lit up other than basic security in the parking
lot for people to see their way from the parking lot to the
building. They will not be trying to achieve anything more than
basic safety lighting in the parking area.
Vice Mayor Eck commented
there are so many different ways they could have laid this out
He asked if there was any way to take into consideration the ten
existing neighbors . It is no fun to put in a development and
already have a dozen upset neighbors.
Ms . Stephanie Rowe commented
there are many ways to design any site They could have looked
at moving it around, but she does not know what that does to the
planned development conditions . She asked if staff could
stipulate compliance with this site plan as modified per staff
review of trying to shift further away from the west property
line.
Assistant Planner Todd
Kennedy stated that is something they could work on with one of
the conditions of approval . It must be like a certain distance
The original presentation was 50' but they could probably
increase that, moving it further to the east . However, the wash
would need to be mitigated in the plan review process They
need to meet engineering requirements
City Attorney Joel Stern
commented the basic core question is if this can be reconfigured
so that everybody is happy. The answer to that is no. However,
to satisfy the basic objections of the view shed, the closer to emN
the east the better it would help out There might be some wash
issues He has not been on the property so he is not aware of
it . There may be some water flow issues . They may ask for
additional things under the planned development if they have to
move things around. They would have to get those if they have
moved something. That could come back and he does not think
they would have to re-advertise or republish anything.
Vice Mayor Eck commented he
is just asking if they would give it a shot and try to work out
a compromise

City Attorney Joel Stern
stated they could try to work things out and continue the
matter The manager had asked if this could be done tonight
He does not believe so as they would have to see the site plan.
It has to come back.
Ms Stephanie Rowe stated
they are willing to work with that She would like to keep the
"L" orientation, but she is willing to move it over

Mayor Insalaco commented he
walked the property, too, and the wash does not seem that big.
Councilmember Barker stated
it still creates a problem She can understand that She would
like to see if this could be shifted If bringing it back would
not cost the applicant more, meaning their having to pay another
fee to come back before in a public hearing, she would prefer to
bring it back.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated it would not cost them any more as they would be
continuing it
Ms Stephanie Rowe stated
they would have to pay for the redesign
Councilmember Barker stated
that is true
City Attorney Joel Stern
ON have
there would have to be another public hearing that would
have to be continued to a date certain That might not be the
hearing that solves the problem There might be another
hearing Hopefully that is not the case, but it could happen.
Councilmember Serdy asked
what the groundbreaking date would be if this is passed tonight
Ms . Stephanie Rowe stated
that is undetermined They are still pending getting the grant
for the project

we have approved a project like this before off of Ironwood and
it never happened He asked if this would happen if it gets
approved and they have the funding He would hate to waste all
this time.
Ms Stephanie Rowe stated if
the funding comes through the project will happen.
Councilmember Serdy stated
they do not have a date
Ms . Stephanie Rowe stated
they do not have a guarantee on the funding yet
Councilmember Serdy asked if
it could be by the end of the year or in a year.
Ms . Stephanie Rowe stated it
is a government grant. It was supposed to be awarded in
February; they delayed it to April, and have now delayed to
August. They do not know if this proposal will get the grant or
not .
Councilmember Dietz commented
it sounds like government work to him
Councilmember Serdy asked
what their estimate would be on what it would cost them to
postpone it . He asked if it would be enough to kill the
project. He would not want to vote to do anything to kill this
project. He asked what it would cost if this had to be redrawn.
Ms Stephanie Rowe stated it
would probably be in the area of $2, 000. It is money the
nonprofit agency would have to come up with up front . The
design fees are separate from the grant
Councilmember Serdy commented
Quail Creek is 2 stories, and the church is 2 stories The
Grand Hotel was 2 stories . He thinks people get used to the 2
stories . There are lots of views of the mountains.

Vice Mayor Eck commented they
approved one next to it and it never happened.
Mayor Insalaco commented a
lot of things have not happened because of the economy
Councilmember Barker
commented she believes there is a misconception somewhere about
north. Comments made from earlier councils and the current
ON
council deal with the northeast area as being kept as open as
possible North itself was never designated as far as she was
aware. She could be wrong. Superstition has got the shopping
center, the nursery, the church, et cetera along there This
has become a commercial area, for the most part, down through
there. This does fit in with what has been happening along
Superstition in that area. Her major concern was the ambulance
thing That really bothered her. It seems to her that if
traffic becomes a concern, they can go to their public works
later and talk about it
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated there is that concern that Councilmember Barker brought
up. There are some time elements that staff would have to
review There would be some time issue there He does not know
who on staff would want to address how long it would take if
this were to be redesigned
Planning Manager Fred Baker
stated part of the answer is how quick the applicant could turn
the design around. We have cancelled the other July meeting
They would be looking at August for the earliest
ON
Ms . Stephanie Rowe stated it
would not be hard to do if they keep the orientation of the
building and just slide it further away from the west property
line They could come back for the next scheduled meeting. Or
they can stipulate a distance for them to move it over.
Planning Manager Fred Baker
stated they could add a condition for it to be moved another 50'
from the west property line

they are 50' now.

to approve that particular site plan with that condition

Ms Stephanie Rowe stated
they would be agreeable to that stipulation
There was general discussion
regarding amending the motion so that this could be done at this
meeting It was determined that they could.
Planning Manager Fred Baker
stated the applicant is willing to do that The applicant would
identify the additional 50' as additional landscape buffer, the
parking adjacent to the building would move, and the access
points on Greasewood and Valley would not move.

Mr. Ed Gawf stated each zone
will have its own set of design guidelines that are unique to
that particular zone Visually they will be slightly different .
They will go through and make recommendations . They will make
recommendations on some uses that should be there and those that
should not be there. It is harder to take away uses now with
Proposition 207, but they can identify those for them. He
believes that the market place works pretty well The market
place should dictate where those uses will be and the council
will control it through design and bulk requirements . eN
Vice Mayor Eck commented that
is fine with him He thinks you have to keep your mind open.

previous to her working for the city that were for nonprofits.

Program are specifically to low income or limited clientele
populations. Women with children are the focus population that

is an eligible activity.
Vice Mayor Eck commented when
he was first on the council there were some grants that were for
low income.

recall them going through. She asked if Community Alliance
Against Family Abuse has investigated going for a grant
themselves She is curious as she understands what they are
asking for but wonders why they have not gone out for a grant to
get this done.
Program Coordinator Heather
Patel stated she believes they have looked at other options but
the Community Development Block Grant program is a very popular
funding source for nonprofits to do this sort of thing That is
why they are looking at us

that 2008 and newer vehicles can operate on. A lot of the
police patrol cars can run on it and it runs a lot cleaner than
gasoline.
Councilmember Serdy asked
where they would buy it
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated it is available at the Phoenix rack, which is
where a lot of the wholesale gasoline in the valley goes. It is
available and the price is fairly comparable to regular
gasoline It fluctuates a little bit so we might pay a couple
cents more or less depending on the time of year
Councilmember Serdy asked if
it was made out of corn or bean.
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated he thought it would be both. Ethanol is made out
of soy bean as well as corn, along with other products .
Councilmember Wilson asked if
they are deactivating the underground storage tanks
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated that is correct The life span usually for
underground tanks is 20 years; we are beyond that. The standard
is to replace underground tanks at the 20 year mark. The
suppliers of our underground tanks do not warrant it any longer
The city carries insurance for the tanks. However, it is not
good practice for a leak to begin and then depend on the
insurance. It would be our deductible to repair it.
0.1
Councilmember Wilson asked if
we had just done recovery for them as well.
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated the pumps . The dispensers will not change. The
tanks will change The scope of work will include abandonment
of the underground tanks, making the underground disconnection,
and stabilizing the underground tanks. Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality has strict rules on how to clean the
underground tanks and fill them up with foam It makes them

very neutral and they can be left underground. The above ground
tanks will allow them to get around Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality and Environmental Protection Agency
testing We currently have to do it annually for the
underground tanks to make sure they are not leaking.
Councilmember Wilson
commented the biggest problem with above ground tanks is the
^ sun He asked if they would have to put up a shade to cover
them.
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated they would not The walls of the tank are real
thick They will handle high velocity rifle shots up to and
beyond 50 caliber. With the thickness of the walls, it will be
a marginal influence to the fuel inside The school district
has above ground tanks that they have had for several years
There is no canopy over them and it has not been an issue
Vice Mayor Eck asked if he
knows anyone running on E85 and if he had compared it with any
other town or city.
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated he has not inquired on E85 but Mesa has experience
with CNG and Tempe used propane
Vice Mayor Eck commented the
officers would have to flip off the CNG to do a chase It did
not work out .
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated E85 has no performance impact However, there is
a small decrease in miles per gallon. There was a definite
issue with CNG when it came to patrol cars .
Vice Mayor Eck asked if they
would get credit through the government for running on this
cleaner fuel to make up for some of these expenses Obviously
they have the grant.
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated that might be the first credit. He is not aware
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL

of any grants for maintaining the operation. Past councils have
wanted to know what they could do to increase the use of
alternate fuel . This is one of the options that is immediately
before us
Councilmember Wilson asked if
there is a state requirement that they will have to have so many
vehicles for the air We are looking at the possibility of
doing another PM10 He asked if this would help the city at all
in the upcoming assessment.
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated it definitely would There are changes in the
PM10 . Moving towards alternate fuel will help with that Also,
those at a population of 50, 000 or more have other air quality
statutes that will actually kick in. One of them has to do with
alternate fuel . This is a step in that direction as we get
closer to our population of 50, 000
Councilmember Barker asked if
this fuel will be for all of our vehicles, and how many vehicles
do we have that will not meet that .
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated we have a lot that do not. We only have 6 or so
that are actually 2008 or newer But, all the newer patrol
cars, cars and trucks they are purchasing will be 2008 or newer
The volume of use of E85 will grow as we move into the future
These tanks are compartmentalized. We currently have two below
ground tanks that have one compartment each, one has diesel and
one has gasoline. These above ground tanks will have two
compartments in them, so they can still run gasoline out of one
compartment and E85 out of the other.

Public Safety Director Jerald
Monahan stated that is the company the city has a contract with,
and that is why they are the one of choice.
Councilmember Dietz commented
he brought some articles in and gave them to Kathy There are a
lot of problems and lawsuits against Dell He asked if they
have a contract where they have to purchase Dell .
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated she does not believe she has ever seen one The city
attorney is saying the same thing
Councilmember Dietz commented
if that is the case, he would wish to review that contract . If
one or all of these new computers went down, they would be in
the same boat He would hate for that to happen with so many
problems that are out there with Dell. He thinks a little more
history needs to be made. These are already purchased and there
is nothing they can do about it; they are obviously going
through with it But he thinks in the future they really need
to look at that to see what options are available
Public Safety Director Jerald
Monahan stated it was the police department IT staff that waived
the red flag. Because of the amount of the purchase and the
concerns over technology in general, they asked the city' s IT
director, Earl Simmers, to review what his staff was doing and
confirm the need The decision to go with Dell he believes was
based on a city decision He was told by his staff that we had
a contract but it certainly appears that we have used Dell
exclusively in the past at all levels within the city.
Councilmember Dietz commented
that is fine He just thinks they need to research a little bit
more before we put out another large amount.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated she does not believe Dell has any exclusive contract with
us She has not seen one
City Attorney Joel Stern
commented he had not seen that contract

assurances include a screening that covers a criminal background
check for their staff, a background check for employment
eligibility, and a motor vehicle background check as they will
be driving on our campus from building to building. They will
have a 10 panel drug screen as well That is the full gamut of
screens that we have required in our contract documents Their
proposal that they submitted back to us for review verifies that
that is what they will do for screening their staff that works
at our campus and our facility ^
Councilmember Dietz asked if
this is quite a bit cheaper than if we did this in house.
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated he thinks it would be cheaper because of the
impact on morale on staff. They might have the public works
manager, the public works director and city manager cleaning
bathrooms which might be an issue to some to pay these people to
do that He would say yes
City Manager George Hoffman
stated he understood the question slightly differently He
wanted to know if we could competitively do it in house if we
were to go out and augment our janitorial staff and buy our
supplies
Councilmember Dietz commented
which we did at one time.
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated when they did the initial bid 5 years ago it was
competitively cheaper than what we could do in house. He thinks
with the prices he is seeing this time, they could not beat it
for the amount of staff the city would have to hire to do it in
house
Councilmember Coleman asked
if this covers all of our buildings
Public Works Manager Shane
Kiesow stated it does not cover some of the parks buildings such
as the buildings at Prospector Park and the pool It does not
cover public safety. There is an in house janitorial person

City Manager George
Hoffman briefed the council on the item
Mayor Insalaco called for any
discussion
Councilmember Serdy commented
he did not think they should go with the Superstition Vistas
investment He thinks it should be tabled until it kicks back
up again We have been at the table and done all we can. We
can easily jump back in later
Councilmember Barker asked
the city manager to address the comment of having done all we
can It is an important thing for them to know when looking at
that part of the budget
City Manager George Hoffman
stated council made a 3 year commitment and kept its end of the
bargain. They were significant contributors to that process,
significant in terms of our dollar contribution The overall
amount was substantially more. There have been participants
like Florence, Queen Creek, Pinal County, Mesa, Salt River
Project and the Sonora Lincoln Institute and a variety of
others It is a very, highly visible, high-powered project
The next steps include rolling it out to the larger valley and
taking the suggestions, working with the state to have the state
think about their interests, and the state take that forward to
Pinal County for reflection in their planning document and their 0'44
general plan. Much significant work has been done The council
has done what it said it would do. It is the case that there is
more to be done The city has been asked for a $5, 000
contribution towards taking those next steps . That is a policy
decision for them to consider
Vice Mayor Eck asked if that
is $5, 000 total .
City Manager George Hoffman
stated that is correct He gave an update that Councilmember

Through George Hoffman, City Manager
From. David Fern, Director of Public Works
Subject. Utilization of Unobligated American and Reinvestment Act(ARRA) Funds
The City of Apache Junction is currently constructing a project on Ironwood Drive, from US 60 to
16th Avenue. The project is funded with American and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Federal
Funds in the total amount of$1,948,343 The Mancopa Association of Governments (MAG)
contributed $1,348,343 and the Central Arizona Association of Governments (CAAG)
contributed $600,000 of the ARRA Phase I funds. The City funding match for the project was
$265,000
Since a number of projects in Arizona, including the Apache Junction Ironwood Drive project
received public bids at substantially lower costs than originally estimated, additional ARRA
Phase I "unobligated" funds have become available for utilization on other"shovel ready"
contracts.
The City designed a road improvement project with City staff to about the 90% completion level
that only requires a few FHWA required design clearance items to make it"shovel ready" and
set to be advertised for construction. Although the timing is extremely aggressive, the City has
pursued and is hoping to utilize these available funds on the next adjacent segment of Ironwood
Drive, 16th Avenue to Broadway Avenue as follows
Unobligated MAG funds $ 513,574
Unobligated CAAG Funds $ 152,000
Total Available ARRA Funds $ 665,574
Leftover City Matching Funds $ 265,000
Existing City Project Funds $ 556,250
Total New Project Cost. $1,486,824
The Public Works Department is requesting City Council approval to amend the existing Joint
Project Agreement (JPA)fintergovernmental Agreement(lGA)with ADOT in order to receive
and utilize the remaining"unobligated"ARRA funds for the Ironwood Drive, 16th Avenue to
Broadway Avenue project

MEMORANDUM
Date August 3, 2010
To' Mayor and Members of City Council
Through George Hoffman, City Manager
From David Fern, Director of Public Works
Subject. Utilization of Unobligated American and Reinvestment Act(ARRA) Funds
The City of Apache Junction is currently constructing a project on Ironwood Drive, from US 60 to
16th Avenue The project is funded with American and Reinvestment Act(ARRA) Federal
Funds in the total amount of$1,948,343 The Mancopa Association of Governments (MAG)
contributed $1,348,343 and the Central Arizona Association of Governments (CAAG)
contributed $600,000 of the ARRA Phase I funds. The City funding match for the project was
$265,000.
Since a number of projects in Arizona, including the Apache Junction Ironwood Drive project
received public bids at substantially lower costs than originally estimated, additional ARRA
Phase I "unobligated" funds have become available for utilization on other"shovel ready"
contracts.
The City designed a road improvement project with City staff to about the 90% completion level
that only requires a few FHWA required design clearance items to make it"shovel ready" and
set to be advertised for construction Although the timing is extremely aggressive, the City has
pursued and is hoping to utilize these available funds on the next adjacent segment of Ironwood
Drive, 16th Avenue to Broadway Avenue as follows
Unobligated MAG funds $ 513,574
Unobligated CAAG Funds' $ 152,000
Total Available ARRA Funds. $ 665,574
Leftover City Matching Funds $ 265,000
Existing City Project Funds $ 556,250
Total New Project Cost. $1,486,824
The Public Works Department is requesting City Council approval to amend the existing Joint
Project Agreement{JPA)Itntergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with ADOT in order to receive
and utilize the remaining "unobligated" ARRA funds for the Ironwood Drive, 16th Avenue to
Broadway Avenue project

Attachment 1
The resolution, a mandated part of the City's TEA 21 grant application, authorizes the
submission of a grant application for the enhancement of the intersection of State Route
88(Idaho Road) and the Old West Highway.
BACKGROUND
May 17, 2010
During the May 17, 2010 work session, the staff provided the City Council with
information regarding Round 18 of TEA-21 funding.
In addition, the City Council was presented with a list of potential State and local
projects that had been developed by staff during a March 2010 meeting. The City
Council deferred the selection of the State project to be submitted until the June 1, 2010
City Council meeting
June 1, 2010
During the June 1, 2010 City Council meeting, the Council selected the
State Route 88 (Idaho Road) and the Old West Highway intersection project for
submission as the City's State project. The project would include the installation of.
1) raised and landscaped medians, 2) ADA compliant curbs and crosswalks; 3) safety
features at the crosswalks; and 4) drainage improvements
July 21, 2010
Staff reported to the Assistant City Manager that the project as originally intended and
designed does not qualify as a State project because it does not meet the criterion of
being at least 75% on State right of way
Staff researched if the project could qualify as a State project by removing various
elements of the project that are on local right of way and by increasing the elements on
State right of way Ultimately, the project had to be reduced so significantly that it lost its
original intent The CAAG Transportation Director reviewed the new reduced project
and advised that it would not be funded by ADOT if it were submitted as a State project
because of the removal of key enhancement elements
Staff presented to the Assistant City Manager three options
1 Do not submit the project,
2 Submit the project in a scaled down version as a State project, and
3. Submit the project in its original intent and design as a local project
The maximum for local projects is $750,000. The City is responsible for 1) 5.7% cash
match ($42,750 maximum), 2) cost overruns, and 3) the maintenance of the project
Staff recommended to the Assistance City Manager that the City consider submission of
the original project as a local project See Attachment 2 for the project site plan.
It is projected that the project will cost $419,135, the City's match would be $23,891. As
mandated, the budget was based on historical costs provided by ADOT All costs have
been adjusted to reflect a 3 8% annual inflation rate for a three year period, the budget
reflects the best estimate as to 2014 construction costs. If funded, the project would
begin construction in 2014
In addition, staff had discussed and addressed potential issues that might cause cost
overruns
Based on their recommendation, the Assistant City Manager directed staff to continue
working on the application as a local project Staff was advised that if the City Council is
not comfortable with the submission of the project as a local project, Council can decline
to adopt Resolution Number 10-26
DISCUSSION
Resolution Number 10-26 is a mandated part of the City's grant application
If the SR 88 and Old West Highway intersection project is submitted as a local project,
Resolution Number 10-26 contains several stipulations not included in resolutions that
have been presented to Council during previous rounds of TEA-21 funding These
stipulations include

Attachments. 2010 DIAM proclamation doc
Dear Suzanne,
Att
ached is a proclamation for Drowning Impact Awareness Month, which is the month of August OIN
Last year, proclamations were passed by cities throughout the state of Arizona, as well as
the Governor's office. This year we hope to exceed last year's total of purple ribbons worn
by supporters, which was 100,000.
If you believe that the proclamation will be put into place, we would like to have it read at
a council meeting. (The end of July or beginning of August would be the best time.) Many
cities invite local fire officials to attend and receive the proclamation Drawing the
media's attention to the proclamations increases awareness of the effort and water safety as
a whole We would also ask to have a hard copy mailed back to the address below so we can
display the proclamation at Phoenix Children's Hospital during the month of August.
Most local fire department employees wore purple ribbons last year, as did some city
employees Banners may be available to some cities at no charge Also, many cities place
information in city newsletters and on websites, include it on "hold" messages on city phone
systems, and include it in communication with the public, such as utility bills
Any or all of these ideas will help to make the effort a success, and any support that you
can give to the proclamation request process would be greatly appreciated
Thank you!

Recommendation for Approval
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND INFORMATION•
Ordinance No 1332 was adopted on January 20, 2009 as a means of updating and amending the Municipal Court Fee
Schedule, to offset rising technology costs and to standardize the court's fee schedule with a bond schedule being adopted by
county and state courts
At the time Ordinance No 1332 was written, it was staff's intent to place the court enhancement fee on each charge rather
than on each case as currently outlined in Ordinance No 1332 , and to impose the court enhancement fee on a per-case
basis would be extremely difficult in situations where there are multiple charges
Ordinance No 1366 corrects this error and establishes that court enhancement fees shall be imposed on each charge.

RE: Resolution No. 10-27: Minor Amendment to General Plan
[ Minor Amendment to Apache Junction General Plan, Chapter II
General Plan Elements, Section A 5 Definition of Major and Minor Amendment]
After reviewing the city's existing general plan amendment process, staff discovered some
inconsistencies with state law. It appears that the state's Growing Smarter law has changed
regarding certain public process requirements subsequent to our general plan being approved in
1999.
More specifically, our general plan process requires a 60 day review period between the
Planning & Zoning Commission hearings and the City Council hearing, whereas state law
requires a 60 day review prior to both Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council
hearings. Additionally, our existing general plan does not specifically require Planning and
Zoning Commission hearings at different locations, or the distribution of major plan amendments
to outside agencies for their review, as current state law directs Finally, the existing general plan
provides for a 30 day appeal process whereas state law provides other remedies
The Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed this matter and forwards the following
recommendation to the City Council
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation
At their June 22, 2010, meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and
voted 6-0 to recommend City Council approval of a minor general plan text amendment to the
subsection entitled `Synopsis of the Major Amendment Process, which is located within Chapter
11 (General Plan Elements), Section A 5 (Definition of Major and Minor Amendment) See
proposed Resolution 10-27
