MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
THROUGH: Bryant Powell, City Manager
FROM: Liz Langenbach, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: February 2, 2021
SUBJECT: Updates to Chapter 4-1 Parks and Recreation Fee Schedule
Chapter 4-1 of the City Code addresses Parks and Recreation Fees. It is reviewed periodically to
insure that fees are aligned with the local market, our community needs, and changes in other
laws.
The parks and recreation department has historically used two primary funding sources to provide
high quality programs, services, and facilities to our community: general fund (sales tax) and user
fees. These are supplemented by various smaller sources such as grants, donations, corporate
partnerships, etc.
Parks and Recreation fees were last updated in 2015, prior to the design and construction of
Flatiron Community Park. Currently, "for-profit" businesses are not permitted to reserve our
facilities and this creates challenges for offering opportunities for local businesses to utilize our
parks and equipment for downtown events or gatherings.
Fees are part of the council work plan this year and we will be presenting current fees and policies
to the council for discussion and consideration while also conducting a market study of the fees of
comparator cities. This information will be shared with the Parks and Recreation commission for
their ultimate recommendation on changes/additions to Chapter 4 for your consideration.

PACHE UNCTION
PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION
FEDERAL PATENTED EASEMENTS
LONG -RANGE PERSPECTIVE
Emile Schmid , City Engineer
Larry Kirch , Director of Development Services �
April b, 2020
Overview
➢ FPEs - 101
➢ Numerous RE relinquishments without overall
framework
➢ 5 years of working toward traffic circulation plan
➢ Taking the Long View �
➢ Need for formal policy on city extinguishments
FPEs — 101 — Misunderstood by practically
everyone !
• Result of 1938 Small Tracts Act ( now repealed - 1976)
• Federal lands sold in various tract sizes with
surrounding 33 feet reserved for transportation access
and utility easements
• Upon incorporation city obtained transportation acces
portion of FPE �
FPEs — 101 — Misunderstood by practically
everyone !
• The standard reservation says the land patent . . . " is
subject to a right-of-way not exceeding 33 feet in
width, for roadway and public utilities purposes".
• The underlying land is still owned by the property
owners .
FPEs — 101 — Misunderstood by practically
everyone !
• Six utilities have utility rights -
• SRP, SW Gas, AJWCFD, SMCFD,, Arizona Water, CenturyLink
(Qwest Communication ), now Mediacom as well
• If city gives up its easement rights, utilities don't necessarily
have to or actually do, separate process and they can charge
a fee if they want to �
FPEs — 101 — Misunderstood by practically
everyone !
• There is no implied federal reversionary interest where
only a simple right-of-way easement is granted since
there is a special need for certainty and predictability
where land titles are concerned ( i .e . once abandoned,
the easement merges back into the fee title (See Marvin
M . Brandt Revocable Trust et al . v. United States, 572 U .S.
931 134 S.Ct. 12571 188 L. Ed 2d 272 ( USSC) ( 2014) ) . �
Once city extinguishes — city rights are gone
�
FPEs — 101 — Misunderstood by practically
everyone !
• FPEs are not public transportation thoroughfares — until the city
exercises its rights - general public cannot use FPEs for recreation
• Landlocked parcel owners are permitted to enforce FPEs to
secure access to their adjacent properties. See Bernal v. Loeks,
196 Ariz. 363, 997 P.2d 1192 (A pp. Div. 12000); however, parcel
owners do not possess an absolute right to enforce aright-of-
way reserved under an FPE when they are not landlocked and
have other adequate means of access (See Neal v. Brown, 219
Ariz. 14, 191 P. 3d 1030 (App. Div. 12008) .
FPEs — 101 — Misunderstood by practically
everyone !
• If RE is not enforced, property owners can always
file ( depending on circumstances) in court, action
for implied easement/easement by
necessity/adverse possession

'. Relinquishments — Randor- - one-offs
• Legal opinions on file going back to 1979-80, 1996 and
with RJS starting in 1997
• Nearly 5 years ago — council questioned the rationale for
extinguishing FPEs — seemingly at random, without
master plan during a extinguishment request
Previous Traffic Circulation Plan — Kirkham - Michael 2002
Transportation Plan . . . inadequate, no ground truthing, did
not result in policy framework
• Council suggested taking big picture view when �
considering extinguishments
Types of FPE Extinguishment Requests
• Several categories of requests
1 ) redevelopment — e . g . Fry's, AJ Warehouses
2 ) building project
3 ) neighbor dispute/trespass
4 ) remedy il lega 1 - u n permitted construction

s Years of work — traffic circulation plan
• Previous DPW Director funded project with Central
Association of Governments ( CAG )
• $ 501000 GIS project to map all FPEs
• City GIS staff worked closely and continue to verify
data , including extinguished FPEs, ROW dedications,
ROW vacations, existing FPEs �
5 Years of work — traffic circulation plan
• During this time period , several FPE extinguishments
occurring per year
• Staff discouraged extinguishment requests until data
was compiled and presented
• Currently : 5 requests in the works

Staff Suggests : Taking the Long View
• Take 75 - 100 year perspective
• Should not be for the convenience of the property
owner
• Extinguishments should be the exception rather than
the rule
Need for formal extinguishment policy
Staff Recommendation
• Adopt resolution setting FPE Policy:
➢ creates framework for long-range transportation planning,
➢ narrow criteria for extinguishments (e.g. along OWH and SR88 at skewed
intersections, redevelopment, subdivisions (require title report and survey
should be completed by the landowner if they request the City extinguish an
FPE))
➢ set parameters for city repurchase its rights for transportation purposes, ,
➢ no more extinguishments to reward scofflaws/disputing neighbors �
• Prepare FPE education material for all large lot owners RS-GR, RS-54,
RS-54M '�
Need for formal relinquishment policy
Additional Staff Recommendations :
• Relax zoning setbacks rather than extinguish entire FPEs
• Do not grant extinguishments - keep 66' for
roadways/trails/utilities with narrower improved roadways
and trails in "rural" area of 401 50 and 66 feet
Need for formal relinquishment policy
Next steps :
• Direction to Staff? — draft policy for council
consideration & approval ; proposed revised zoning
setbacks in the area of the city covered by the ATP

ZONING PARAMETERS -BUILDING HEIGHT
Original CB-2 zone: Max 35 feet (higher thru a PD rezoning
process) ; Inherited from Pinal County
Former C-2 zone: Max 20 feet (higher thru a CUP process);
Former C-3 zone: Max 30 feet (higher thru a CUP process);
C-2 and C-3 districts split up the uses allowed in the old "wide
open" CB-2 zone into the less intense uses. Building height was
reduced from 35' to 20' (C-2) and 30' (C-3) for unknown reasons.
ZONING PARAMETERS IN B-3
Former CCD zone: Max 75 feet (higher w/ Council approval, after a
P&Z recommendation) ;
• The CCD zone greatly increased building height to 75; based on the uses
envisioned in the Nielson-Fackler downtown conceptual plan. They
envisioned something similar to downtown Tempe and wanted maximum
flexibility on building heights. Allowed for a tourist attraction view
elevator, constructed in the form of an old mining rig.
Current B-3 zone: Max 60 feet (higher thru a PD rezoning process) .
B-3 zone kept many of the ideas of CCD zone, but tempered building height to
60; still envisioning a flexible and dynamic downtown with taller buildings as is
fairly normal for developing, modernizing cities.
PROPOSED B-3 USES TO ELIMINATE
• Automotive Uses - (service, sales and repair)
• Ex: Semi-truck service, vehicle and RV sales lots, rental and leasing lots, general
automotive repair, transportation terminals
• RV Parks and Campgrounds (currently CUP)
• Contractors Office/Building Materials Supply Sales - indoor/outdoor (currently
CUP)
• Ex: decomposed granite/rock, wholesale the sales, wholesale lumber yard,
granite slabs sales
• Machinery and Equipment Rental (currently CUP)
• Ex: Sunstate Equipment, Sunbelt Rentals, Empire Rentals
PROPOSED B-3 USES TO ELIMINATE
• Mini-Warehouse/Storage Facilities (currently CUP)
• Stand-alone retail kiosks
• Repair businesses (ex: appliances, household goods, electronic, furniture)
• Laundromats
• Agriculture/Crop Production
• Retail Warehouse Clubs
• Assisted Living
PROPOSED B- 3 USES
• Density Housing (townhouses, apartments, small lot single-family at edge)
• Restaurants and Bars/Breweries and Micro-distilleries
• Civic and Government Uses
• Parks and Open space
• Professional Offices
• Mixed-use Development (office, commercial retail, residential uses)
• Educational Institutions (colleges and universities)
• Specialty Retail
• Entertainment Uses (movie theatres, museums, arcades, etc.)
• Hotels and Resorts
WHAT HAS BEEN REALIZED AS A RESULT OF
PLANNING?
■ Streetscaping: Phelps Drive, North
Apache Trail, Plaza Drive
■ Median enhancements: Apache Trail, Old
West Highway
■ Public Art/Downtown marquee
■ Commercial Rehabilitation Program
■ Flatiron Park
■ Horizon Health & Wellness

HOW DO WE (VISUALIZE) THE FUTURE OF
DOWNTOWN?
How does AJ create a connection between the dEAK"l of
Apache Junction and "new" Apache Junction?
How does AJ create a town center that encourages existing
and new residents to experience downtown as a
destination?
How does AJ convey to developers what the city doesn't
want?
How does AJ covey to developers what "we" do want as a
community?

Discussion on the "Code of the West" or"How to Avoid Surprises, and Be a Good Neighbor
When You're Buying, Building, and/or Developing in the Town of Wickenburg, Arizona."
City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 1 Printed on 212312021

Wickenburg Common Council
June 15,2009
"Code of the West"
or
"How to Avoid Surprises,and Be a Good Neighbor When You're Buying,Building,and/or Developing in the Town
of Wickenburg,Arizona"
A PUBLICATION OF THE
TOWN OF WICKENBURG TRAILS ADVISORY COMMISSION(TAC)
The"Code of the West"was first chronicled by the western novelist, Zane Grey. Men and women who settled the
western frontier were bound by an unwritten code of conduct. In keeping with that spirit,we offer this information
to help people who have chosen to build and/or live in the western rural desert community of Wickenburg,Arizona.
Welcome to Wickenburg,Arizona:
Life in this western rural desert community is rich and rewarding,treasured by both Wickenburg residents who have
been here for generations, and those who have recently moved here. It is important that new property owners and
homeowners know that life in Wickenburg is different from life in the "big city". The Town government cannot
provide the same level of service that big city governments provide. The information included in the Town of
Wickenburg's version of"The Code of the West" is designed to help you make an educated and informed decision
as you consider purchasing or developing land in the Wickenburg. The residents of Wickenburg are proud of their
generation's long commitment to creating a true western Town and a great place to visit and reside.Your desire to
relocate here is proof of our success. Please understand that the way things were done where you came from is
often the reason you left,we have no desire to recreate the reasons you left your former home.
What Kind Of ACCESS Is Available To Properties Located Inside The Town Limits?
The fact that you can drive to your property does not necessarily guarantee that you, your guests or emergency
service vehicles(police,ambulance,fire truck)can get there easily. Please consider the following:
• Response times for emergency service vehicles cannot be guaranteed.
• There can be problems with the legal aspects of access, especially if you have access through a wash or
across someone else's property. Make sure you have legal easements if you need them (i.e. deeded, not
just verbal). You may want to get legal advice if you have questions regarding your access.
• The Town of Wickenburg maintains approximately seventy (70) miles of both paved and unpaved roads,
but many private properties are served by private roads,which are NOT Town maintained. Some roads that
have been used for many years by the public are not maintained by the Town (no grading, or repair of
damages resulting from natural disasters). Make sure you know what kind of maintenance is available and
who pays for it.
• Many large construction vehicles cannot navigate small, narrow and primitive roads. If you plan to build,
check out construction access. Private driveways should be wide and sturdy enough to support either
emergency or construction vehicles.
• If your driveway or private road accesses a Town road, you may need a Right-of-Way Use Permit. Call the
Town of Wickenburg's Public Works Department at 928-684-2761 to find out. If your access is directly onto
a County Road, you will need to check with the appropriate County Department of Transportation about
getting a Right-of-way Use Permit.
• In some outlying areas, school bus transportation is not provided. Call the Wickenburg Unified School
District Office at 928-668-5350 to find out the school bus boarding area closest to your property.
• In extreme weather, some roads may become impassable. You may need a four-wheel drive vehicle and
perhaps even another mode of transportation to travel during those circumstances.
• Gravel and dirt roads generate dust. If you mind that,you may NOT want to be in an area which is accessible
only by gravel or dirt roads, and for which no paving is planned. If you have a question about whether
roads are scheduled for improvement, check with the Town of Wickenburg's Public Work's Department at
928-684-2716.
• Unpaved roads are not always smooth and are often slippery when they are wet. You may experience an
increase in vehicle maintenance costs when you regularly travel on rural roads. Many of our roads have
always been unpaved as it is our desire to keep our rural identity and cooler night time temperatures by
keeping our desert roads. The Town has no desire or reserve for paving these roads. If you believe the dust
from unpaved roads is unhealthy,we encourage you to find property in another area of the Town.
• The property that is an open desert today may not be forever. Check the recorded plat of your subdivision
to see what uses is planned within it. In addition, check in the appropriate County Assessor's Office to
determine if those uses may have been changed since the plat was recorded. You can also talk with the
Town of Wickenburg Planning Department at 928-668-050o about the process that properties currently
undergo for a land use change,and how you would be notified if changes were proposed next to you.
• Newspaper, parcel and overnight package delivery, and U.S. Mail delivery may not always be available to
rural areas. Check with the agencies that provide these services before assuming you can get delivery.
• It may be more expensive and time consuming to build a rural residence due to delivery fees and the time
required for inspectors to reach your site.
How About Sewer,Water,Electricity,Telephone,Cable T.V.,Internet and Natural Gas?
The utilities that you may be used to having when/if you lived in a big city may not be available in our desert rural
community. Please think about these situations:
• The availability of telephone and Internet communication can be delayed, particularly in the more remote
areas of the Town. It may be difficult or impossible to obtain a separate line for FAX or computer modem
uses, and in some areas, cellular telephones do not operate. Check with the local telephone service
provider to find out what lines and services are available to you. High speed internet may only be available
by satellite or other non-wired provider or it may not be available at all. Please check on the availability of
high speed internet if this is important to you.
• If sewer service is available to your property, contact the Town of Wickenburg's Public Work's Department
at 928-684-2761 to find out what the costs are to hook into it,and maintain it.
• If sewer service is not available, you will be using, or will have to install an individual sewage disposal
system. If there is an existing individual sewage disposal system, have the septic tank pumped and
inspected by a reliable service,or call the Maricopa County(602-5o6-6617)or Yavapai County(928-771-3214)
(whichever is appropriate) Department of Environmental Services to get information about obtaining a
permit or an inspection for an individual sewage disposal system.
• If a central treated water supply is available to your property,find out who supplies it, what the costs are to
hook into it,and the monthly cost of service.
• Be sure you know what water rights are available with your property such as: Is there a well permit? If
water is provided by a well located off your property, do you have an easement allowing you to access and
repair it? You will not be able to drill a well without getting a permit from the Arizona Department of Water
Resources(602-771-8500):you will need to know what kind of time and expense that may entail.
• Having a well permit does not guarantee that there will be water where you first dig for it. Consider those
potential drilling and installation costs in your development planning.
• The Arizona Department of Water Resources, not the Town of Wickenburg, issues well permits. You can
apply directly to the Division, through their office in Phoenix at 602-771-8500 or www.azwater.gov or by
contacting a local well driller who can complete and submit the application for you.
• Electric and natural gas service may not be readily available in the more remote areas of the Town. Check
with each of these service providers to make sure you have the services you want before you commit to a
construction project.
• Some of your utility service lines may have to cross properties owned by other people in order for service to
be extended to your property. Make sure the proper legal easements are in place to allow lines to be
installed to your property.
• Electric power may not be available in single phase and three phase service configurations. If you have
special power requirements,check with the service provider to ensure that those can be provided.
• The cost of electrical service usually includes both a fee to hook into the system (which may require
extensive line installation if none exists), and a monthly charge for energy consumed. Check with the
service provider about both costs in your area.
• Power outages can occur in outlying areas more often than in more developed areas. Not only can these
disrupt your computer modem's Internet connection;you won't be able to get water from your well.
• Many remote areas of the Town are not wired for cable TV.
What Can I Do On My Property?
Many issues can affect your property in addition to those concerning utilities and access. It's important to
research them before purchasing land.
• Many property owners do not own the mineral rights under the surface of their land. By federal law,
owners of mineral rights have the right to extract the minerals, even if that activity changes "surface
characteristics". It is important that you know what minerals may be located under your land and who
owns them. Check your deed, and if you do not understand it, you may want to contact an attorney or
another professional to help you.
• Even if you are provided with a plat for your property by your realtor, or other seller, you may wish to
obtain the services of a licensed Arizona Surveyor to ensure the accuracy of your survey or check with the
local jurisdictions Planning Department.
• Fences that separate properties may or may not be on legal boundary lines. A survey of the land is the only
way to confirm the location of your property lines.
• Whether you want to construct a single family home, a guest house, subdivide, or open a store, your plans
may require a Variance, Zone Change, Site Plan Review or a Special Use permit, as well as a Right-of-Way
Use permit, an individual sewage disposal system permit, a building permit, a sign permit, a zoning
clearance or must meet other requirements. Check with the Town of Wickenburg Planning Department at
928-668-0500 to find out what you need,and when you will need it.
• Many subdivisions and planned developments have Covenants,Conditions and Restrictions(C.C.& R's)and
design guidelines that limit the use of the property. Find out if there is CC&R's (ask your realtor or check
with appropriate County Recorder's Office — Maricopa County at 602-5o6-3535/Yavapai County at 928-771-
3584). Make sure you can live with the rules of that subdivision. The By-Laws of the Association should
outline how the organization operates and how dues are set,collected and spent.
• Other property owners may have easements, which require you to allow construction of roads, power lines,
water lines, sewer lines and other utilities across your land, which may restrict your own development and
building options. There may be easements that have not been recorded, but are "historic". Title abstract
and title insurance companies,or an attorney can help you track this information.
• Trails. In order to protect our western lifestyle the Wickenburg Trails Advisory Commission (TAC) is actively
involved in creating and protecting a system of trails throughout Wickenburg. Whether or not your property
allows the keeping of horses it may have an easement for trails. These easements allow for access from
areas in Town to recreational areas on public lands outside of Town and are considered vital to protecting
our western lifestyle. In many municipalities,properties with direct trail access have been shown to be more
desirable to buyers. Arizona Revised Statute §12-55S limits property owners liability for accidents by persons
recreating across their property. If your property contains a Trail Easement it may not be fenced,blocked,or
made impassable, even if it appears to be infrequently or unused. Creating hazards on trails to eliminate use
does create liability on your part for any accidents resulting from the creation of a hazard. If having a Trail
Easement across your property bothers or concerns you, or if you are bothered by hikers, cyclists, or
equestrian traffic, perhaps you should consider a property located away from a Trail System or in another
area.
• Homeowners and property owner associations are often responsible for the maintenance of roads, utilities
and other common elements in subdivisions. Check the subdivision's covenants/deed restrictions to learn if
an association has that responsibility; check with your realtor(or some of your future neighbors)to learn if
the association is functioning. A dysfunctional or non-existent association can cause problems for you, and
even involve you in expensive litigation. Dues are almost always a requirement for those subdivisions that
have a Homeowners Association.
Ranching And The Keeping Of Livestock
• Ranching and the keeping of, recreational horses on an individual's property is allowed on parcels of 35,000
square feet or greater starting with 111-35 Single Family Residential Zoning Districts Keeping of other types
of livestock require special zoning districts and you need to contact the Town of Wickenburg Planning
Department at 928-668-0500 to determine proper zoning criteria. If you choose to live among and/or next
to recreational ranching and/or farming operations on property that is zoned for livestock keeping,you may
be affected by them. Learn how you can be a good neighbor to this important part of our community's
history and character. Please read any C.C.&R.'s that may belong to your property as they may prevent the
keeping of these types of animals. You are also advised to read Arizona Revised Statute Title 3 Article 8,
"No-Fence Districts".
• Ranchers often work in the evening hours especially during our hot summer months. Occasionally,
adjoining ranching activities may disturb your otherwise quiet surroundings.Those times will pass.
• If you are traveling on dirt and graveled roads adjacent to ranch or rural lands, drive slowly and with care.
Occasionally horses and cattle may get out on the road; avoiding hitting an animal is healthy for both you
and the animal.
• Ranch livestock, as well as, recreational livestock may cause odors and noise, which are objectionable to
some people. If you find them annoying or are offended by the proximity to, odor of,or sight of manure or
flies, you may want to find a property in another area of Town that is not zoned or adjacent to property
that is zoned for the keeping of livestock.
• Horseback riders occasionally ride on public roads. When you encounter a rider slow down and act
cautiously. The delay will cost you only a few minutes. Enjoy the scene; this is the "real west" and is a
critical part of the character of our western desert rural community.
• Occasionally the horses may deposit manure on the roads. This manure will dry up and be gone in a few
days. The rider is under no obligation to remove the manure.
You Can't Mess With Mother Nature(And Expect To Get Off Easily)
Western rural desert residents usually can expect to experience more challenges with the "elements" when they
become unfriendly than residents who have access to municipal services.
• Desert vegetation is a wonderful environmental amenity, but can also endanger your home in case of a wild
fire. The local Rural Fire Department Office (928-684-7702) can offer practical recommendations to help
you protect your home from fire as well as protect the surrounding desert vegetation from igniting if your
house catches on fire. If you start a wild fire,you could be found legally responsible for paying the costs of
putting it out. Helping to prevent the catastrophe before it happens benefits you as well as your neighbors
and the desert.
• Steep slopes can slide in unusual wet weather. Large rocks can also roll down steep slopes and present a
great danger to people and property.
• In heavy rains washes are very dangerous. Please do not cross wash areas during these times.
• You may be required to have a Geotechnical Study conducted before you can obtain an individual sewage
disposal system permit and building permit.Collapsing and expansive soils can buckle concrete foundations
and twist steel I-beams.
• A property owner who builds his home near a dry wash may find that when it rains the water that drained
through the wash now drains through his house. The topography of the land can tell you where the water
will go when rain occurs.
• A property owner who builds or buys a home on or near a slope may find that when it rains the water that
drains down and/or around his house now drains through his house. Again,the topography of the land can
tell you where the water will go when rain occurs.
Wildlife:
Nature can provide you with some wonderful neighbors. However, some may be of concern to you and
require extra care when you build and live in a rural or remote area.
• Coyotes, Javelina, foxes, skunks, bobcats, squirrels and deer can be simply annoying, destructive or
dangerous,and you need to know how to deal with them.
• Threatened and endangered species of wildlife may be present in certain areas. Check with the Arizona
Game and Fish Department at 602-942-3000 or www.azgfd.gov about concerns related to the area in which
your property is located.
• Living in a western rural desert area may also bring you in to contact with other desert dwellers such as
rattlesnakes, scorpions and black widow spiders. Be aware of what actions you should take if you should
have a less than satisfactory encounter with any of these desert dwellers.
and A Few Final Thoughts:
• Though the Town of Wickenburg receives sales tax revenue from its local businesses, the amount of taxes
collected generally do not cover the costs of services provided to the Town's residents. In general, other
revenue sources subsidize the lifestyles of those who live in our western desert rural community by making
up the shortfall.
• Please take the time and effort to study the history of the Town of Wickenburg. This will give you an
understanding and appreciation for the pioneers who settled the land. It is our hope that through this
understanding,you will approach your construction and development in a thoughtful and sensitive manner,
to protect our unique community,our natural resources and our western historic way of life.
• The information in the Town of Wickenburg"The Code of the West" is not exhaustive. There likely will be
issues that occur to you,or that you encounter,that are not included here.
• This"Code"is provided by the Town of Wickenburg Trails Advisory Commission. We offer this information
and suggestions in the sincere hope they will help you as you decide to build, develop and live in
Wickenburg.
