Director of Planning
Joe Gero referred to the preliminary traffic flow map posted on the wall made
in March 1980 by the Arizona Department of Transportation He explained the
map to the Council and stated the City will be meeting with the Arizona Depart-
ment of Transportation to review the City's findings and the Arizona Department

of the community for elected and appointed officials to take a look at the
various points of interest in the traffic study will be arranged.

there is, as one of the three elements of the program, a study to see if there

MEDIAN CROSSING
HIGHWAY 60 (DISCUSSION ITEM)
Mayor Seeman called
upon the Director of Public Works to provide background into the item.
Director of Public
Works Richard Broman stated that earlier in the year the State had been requested
to provide a study because of the number of accidents being observed in the area
where Highway 88 and Highway 60 merge to turn into the median access on the
east side of the Alpha Beta Shopping Center. He stated from January 1978 to
December 1979 there were 35 accidents in that location; from January 1980 until
July 15, 1980 there were an additional 25 accidents there, and in the past
four months there have been an additional nine accidents at that location
He stated, that as indicated by the Transportation Action, the traffic study
at the location, there are approximately 23,000 vehicles a day passing through
the intersection and with the winter visitors the number will probably increase
substantially. He reviewed the major problems in the vicinity, the recommendations
of the Department of Public Works, the Department of Public Safety, and the
State Highway Department He stated the recommendation of the State Highway
Department is that the median opening be altered to eliminate the left turn
going south He stated it would be altered in such a manner that persons exiting
the shopping center and going east on Highway 60 would still be able to turn
north and then move west through the median opening. He stated several meetings
with the businessmen have been held, they have been given copies of the traffic
study, the study has been explained to them, and a representative from the
Highway Department has come down and answered their questions and provided the
traffic engineering reasons why certain recommendations are being made Mr
Broman stated it appears there are three options available -- one, to close
down the median entirely, two, to modify the median making it a one-way, out-
bound, as previously explained; and finally, to do nothing After reviewing
the social costs of the accidents, Mr. Broman said it is realized that some minor
problems could be created to the business community, however, he felt that in
lieu of any hard statistical evidence from the business community that their
businesses would be jeopardized, it is very difficult to make any other recom-
mendations
Mr. Broman stated
he feels a step was taken in the right direction at the meeting of November 19th
when the State was requested to look at signalization and reduction of speed,
etc. He stated the City is also coordinating with the State to get the
Transportation Board into the City to hear the case and look at completely
redesigning the intersection. He added these things are going to take time
and that there is an immediate need for the change to be made now
Director of Public
Safety Bill McDaniel stated Public Safety agrees with the suggested recommendation.
Vice Mayor Granillo
stated he felt the Council should approach the person who has the power to
change their planning, he stated he felt the City has a lot of traffic and
congestion; and just because it was projected ten years ago that there would
be nothing in Apache Junction until 1985 does not mean changes cannot be made
Director of Public
Works Broman stated that the State has a five-year plan and right now the City
is not on the plan He added he had done some research to come up with the
proposals which the City has laid out at this time and stated the District VII
Engineer has done some preliminary designs -- schematic-type things and the
State is aware of the problem. He stated the way to get on the State's five-
year plan is to get the Transportation Board sympathetic to the problem
Mr Broman said he has been advised that the State is limited in what they can
do because they don't have the budgeted funds for the study, the plans, and
the engineering that was not on the five-year plan He added that if the City
is to take no action on the median crossing and work toward having the entire

interchange modified and the City was lucky and got on the plan next year, by
the time the City gets through the engineering and then allocates the money for
construction a minimum of two or three years will pass before anything is done
at all
Councilman Damiano
stated the City of Apache Junction has an emergency and needs to have something
done now; the City cannot wait for twenty years.
Amok
Director of Public
Works Richard Broman stated the Department of Transportation suggested that the
Transportation Board be invited to Apache Junction so the public can address
the Transportation Board to see what can be done to expedite solutions to
these problems.
Mayor Seeman asked
if the City should accept the recommendations from the Arizona Department of
Transportation for a temporary solution, she said the temporary solution will
not solve the problem and asked if the City should settle for an interim solution
or should it go all the way to get what the citizens actually need -- street lights,
bike crossings, etc. The Mayor stated she felt the City should be given priority
treatment and the Council should meet with the State officials in an attempt to
address the problem.
Mr. Broman stated
he did not feel he could answer for the State -- the City has coordinated with
them, they have answered questions and in that regard their comment was that
this is a temporary measure He stated the City needs to meet with the Trans-
portation Board and get some of the top-level administrators and work closely
with them. He stated that the State has been a little reluctant in the area,
that possibly within the State there may have been some other priorities but
now that the City is here there is the opportunity, as a governmental agency,
to coordinate directly with them and get the money and benefits down here where
the City knows they are needed
( Vice Mayor Granillo
stated he thought the City has probably been dealing with the lower echelon
He asked if the Council, as a group, could meet with the head of the department,
or the person who could say yes or no, rather than the people who can only make
a recommendation to someone else.
Mr. Broman stated
the people he has been working with from the Transportation Department have
.see, been working very closely with him, however, they are limited in what they can
do. He added the State is so large there are certain procedures and formalities
that must be followed and it is a matter of finding out what the rules of the
game are and working as best the City and State can together to reach the goal
Vice Mayor Granillo
commended Mr. Broman for the wonderful job he is doing in pubic works
Chief McDaniels
stated that as Director of Public Safety he would have to recommend that some
temporary measure by taken now to alleviate a lot of the injuries and accidents
that are occurring.
Mayor Seeman reviewed
the three options placed before the Council
Councilman Eidson
asked how long it would take to work with these temporary options.
Director of Public
Works Richard Broman stated he did not have the answers but he thought it i.ould be
done within 60 to 90 days, although he does not know if there could be any action
sooner. He stated he would check with the State.

is an item that is not part of that grant but is an expected cost under any type
of construction project of this nature He added the architectural services of
James Flynn and Associates have been involved in the project since the inception
of the concept of the intergovernmental agreement between the School and the
City to share expenses which was approved in August 1980 and the firm has completed

MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
THROUGH: RAY LEE, CITY MANAGEk�
FROM: JAAJOE GERO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AGENDA ITEM (PZ-18-80: PROPOSED ORDINANCE #74)
BACKGROUND:
Recently there have been several applications filed for Special Use Permits
by various citizens of the City. Special Use Permit applications are
permitted by Section 2302 of the Zoning Ordinance. A review of Sub-sections
(a) thru (n) indicates a list of specific items for which a Special Use
Permit might be requested. The Sub-section which is at point for the pro-
posed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is Sub-section (o) which reads as
follows:
"(o) Such other uses as the Planning Commission may deem appropriate in
the public interest. "
Please review the opening paragraph of Section 2302 carefully. Please note
that in the paragraph it says "building", structures, for uses in a district
from which they are prohibited by this Ordinance. "
In Article 23, there is an absence by which the Planning Commission might
consider or evaluate whether or not to approve a request for a Special Use
Permit. The Ordinance is referenced to a finding that must be "in the interest
of the public health, safety and general welfare of the community". This
type of phrase is vague to the point that it gives the Commission no measu-
able criteria.

Memorandum - Proposed Ordinance #74
Page 2
Special use or conditional use permits are a standard zoning tool . However,
there is some specific criteria which is not only recommended but required
to comply with the Arizona Revised Statutes. The State Enabling Act provides
that the Legislative Body, or the City Council as in our case, may rezone by
Ordinance. The referenced Sub-section (o) is so broad in scope, that no
applicant would have to ever request a rezoning to have a change of use on
his property, provided he could get the Planning Commission's approval for a
Special Use Permit. Such broad powers appear to me to be an unlawful dele-
gation of powers by the City Council to the Planning Commission. Several
points with regard to Section 2302 should be made.
1. The entire Section lacks general criteria for the Planning
Commission to make decisions. Therefore, it is advisable that
the entire Section be reviewed and amended accordingly, However,
such a task will most likely require substantial amendment to
the entire Zoning Ordinance. With an early spring schedule to
begin rewriting the Zoning Ordinance, it would appear the immediate
remedy of deleting Sub-section (o) and having only the specific
list of items (a) thru (n) would remedy substantial opposition to
this Section of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. It appears blatantly unfair to the general public to have in the
Zoning Ordinance a process that the Council believes to be an
unlawful delegation of powers from itself to the Planning Commission.
ANALYSIS AND IMPLICATION:
Leaving this Sub-section in the Zoning Ordinance could create substantial
embarrassement to the City if knowing the high propability of the Sub-
section is unlawful , it allowed applicants to proceed utilizing the said
.• Sub-section.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council has the following alternatives in this case:
1. Approved with or without the emergency clause.
2. Deny the proposed Ordinance.
3. Direct the staff to prepare for consideration other amendments.
4. Table action on this matter.
5. Other.
Memorandum - Proposed Ordinance #74
Page 3
RECOMMENDATION:
Attached to this request are several pieces of information germane to
the topic, including the opinion of the City attorney. Due to up-
coming scheduling committments, the staff would prefer not persuing
amending the whole Sub-section with regard to Special Use Permits at this
time. Rather, we would defer those to early spring when we begin the re-
write of the entire Zoning Ordinance. We would recommend that Sub-section
(o) be deleted from the Zoning Ordinance at this time with the emergency
clause, to protect the general interest of the public.
The Planning and Zoning Commission at its December 9, 1980, regular meet-
ing held an advertised public hearing on this proposal . Following the close
of the public hearing the Commission voted unamimously to recommend the
proposal with the emergency clause for the reasons as appear in the memorandum.
SUGGESTED MOTION.

Re: Section 2302 of the Apache Junction
Zoning Ordinance
Dear Joe:
Pursuant to your request we reviewed Section 2302
of the Apache Junction Zoning Ordinance regarding the powers
of the Planning Commission.
Section 2302 provides that the Planning Commission
may authorize certain uses industries where they would
otherwise be prohibited when it is "found to be in the
interest of the public health, safety and general welfare of
the community. "
Section 2302(o) provides that one of the uses is
"such other uses as the Planning Commission may deem
appropriate in public interest" .
We believe that Section 2302(o) allows the
Planning and Zoning Commission to zone, whereas under State
law only the City Council may zone.
The City Council, must set forth guidelines for
uses which the Planning and Zoning Commission authorize.
This Section should either be repealed on it
should be amended to provide for guidelines which the
Planning and Zoning Commission may tollow in determining
uses it will authorize under Section 2302(o) .
Sincerely,
Susan D. Goodwin

SUBJECT: Section 2302-0 (Zoning Ordinance)
Your elaboration on December 2nd, 1980, of the problems you are
encountering in reference to Section 2302-0 was surprisingly
informative.
It is astounding that the intent of this section is being taken
out of context and is being applied to circumvent the Zoning Ord-
inance. '
If this is the circumstance, deletion of 2302-0 appears appropriate.
However, in addition, it is recommended that because Section 2302
is so ambiguous, it be subsequently deleted in its entirety and
re-written accordingly.

MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
THROUGH: RAY LEE, CITY MANAGER:
FROM: juiDJOE GERO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
SUBJECT: REQUEST AGENDA ITEM: PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. 80-39
BACKGROUND:
The City has under contract, the PRC Toups Corporation to do several
studies in behalf of the City of Apache Junction. As a prerequisite
for those studies, and as part of the contract, the Toups Corporation
is doing a study of the present and projected population for the City.
The population study has been concluded and is attached. The staff
has worked closely with Mr. John Stancil , of the Toups Corporation in
the preparation of this document and gives it general approval .
The Council is being asked to approve this document at this time for
two purposes. Those purposes are:
1. Once approved, the consultants can then proceed with other
studies from the base population as approved by the City
Council .
2. The adopted population report would give us a firm document
which to protest the U.S. Census count. Therefore, the City
Council , during this week, is being asked to review this docu-
ment and call the Director of Planning if there are any questions.
Because the Director of the U.S. Bureau of the Census must make
his report to the President of the United States, it is urgent
that any protest to be filed in behalf of the City of Apache
Junction, be done as soon as possible. Therefore, the Council
is urged to give this matter a most urgent and serious attention.
Mr. John Stancil of the Toups Corporation will be at your council meeting of
December 17, to answer any questions you mioht have. Attached is a copy of
proposed Resolution No. 80-39 which the Council , by this document, will be
asked to approve the report of the City on population.

Dear Mayor Seeman:
The Bureau of the Census has responded to the inquiry I made on
behalf of Apache Junction and it is enclosed for your information.
As you may be aware, the procedures and results of the 1980 Census
have raised questions concerning its accuracy and validity. Allega-
tions have been made that the Census Bureau did not do a thorough
job and that, as a result, many citizens in both urban and rural areas
were simply not counted. I understand that several cities and states
have filed suit alleging a census undercount.
Because of the serious questions which have been raised concerning
the Census, the House of Representatives approved an amendment which
would prohibit the expenditure of funds by the Office of the President
to calculate or transmit to Congress reapportionment figures for the
House of Representatives. The Senate Appropriations Committee included
this provision in its bill which was reported to the Senate Floor. This
provision would simply be to establish a moratorium on the implementation
of the Census until Congress can review the important question that
have been raised by the results of the Census.
I will support the retention of this provision in the Treasury Appropri-
ations bill which is presently before the Senate.
Since y,
Barry Go] wtr

POPULATION ANALYSIS
FOR THE
•
CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION
AM.
The following report is a summary of the various activities and findings
that we have carried out and conclusions that we have reached in studying
population and forecasts for the Apache Junction area as part of our
contractural requirements in the study of future community facility and
space needs.
CONTACTS AND RESPONSES
We carried out the following contacts to obtain population information
and received the following general information:
Pinal County Courthouse: 868-5801
Contacted Charlie Quinn, Deputy County Manager and Terry Smith, Planning
Director was promised some information but received nothing.
Department of Economic Security:
This department is the official Government Office for determining
population projections for the State and its political jurisdictions.
Jack Kronenfield, 255-5984 supplied considerable data and the DES
projections for the State, County and Apache Junction. Part of the
data received is contained herein.
Department of Economic Planning and Development:
Eric Rassmussen, 255-5725, indicated that data they had available
and data that they would use would be that provided by the Department
of Economic Security.
Department of Health Services:
Helen Davis, 255-1068, submitted birth and death data for a 10 year
period for the Apache Junction Area by zip code area designation.
See copy in appendix.
PRC Toups
1 \
Department of Transportation:
Bob Mickelson, 261 -7433. Data similar to that produced by DES.
Maricopa Association of Governments :
Tom Ford, 261 -7867. Doesn' t have anything on Apache Junction area or
Pinal County except that produced by DES.
Central Arizona Association of Governments •
John Glaze, 868-5878, said he would send data but never received
anything.
Valley National Bank Research Center: 261 -2777
Stated that they had no statistical data available for an area as
small as Apache Junction outside of Maricopa County.
First National Bank of Arizona Research Center: 271 -1211
Similar comment as (VNB) above.
Arizona Public Service - Gas Service:
John McAtee, 271-7830, Area Service Manager. Service Area east of
Meridian Road, for 6 miles east and 2 miles north and south of Apache
Trail total accounts 6,500+.
Number of accounts that request to be disconnected during summer
2,241 for 2 years ago; 2,736, this past year or approximately 42% of
total accounts. Some residents leave but don' t ask for disconnects
and pay the monthly minimum of $2.50, the manager has no idea how many
this would be. Arizona Public Service connects approximately 80 new
accounts annually in the Apache Junction Area.
The Area Office Manager indicated that they had some information on
computer tapes by zip code areas, but no seasonal cut off information.
Any information retreived on a small area basis would have a special
program run and a service charge would be necessary.
This source may be a useful one and one to work with as an input to
future population projections and particularly to seasonal trends.
PRC Toups
Mountain Bell - Telephone Service:
Saundra Lawson , 255-6411 , Local Area Manager. Mountain Bell keeps
track of telephone connections by prefixes . The area wide Superstition
prefixes are 982, 984, 986, 981 and 985. Apache Junction prefix is
982 and generally includes the area bounded by McDowell and Baseline,
Meridian to Goldfield. Total number accounts 5,803, September 24, 1980, of
which 1 ,901 or (32 8%) of the accounts were on vacation status.
Mountain Bell does not distinguish between residential or commercial
connections or accounts at this time. Current growth in the Apache
Junction Area is less than 100 connections per year. Big growth occured
in 1978 and 1979. Current new growth is between Meridian to Sossaman
This source appears to be a very useful one for input to current growth,
projections and seasonsal trends. The city should contact Mountain Bell
representatives to work out an acceptable program of accounts information.
Salt River Project - Electrical Service:
Bing Brown, 273-5724, Manager Information Division indicated that they
kept records by geographic billing areas which are established to
assist meter readers, and are not usually of much value to government
jurisdictional area. However, for a small charge Salt River Project can
provide computer printout data from a single or a combined billing area
for a limited amount of information.
Apache Junction Post Office: 982-2121
Apache Junction zip code number 85220. Zip code boundaries ; West
Boundary: Crismon Road, South of Apache Trail and 102nd Street between Apache
Trail and Brown Road and 108th Street (Signal Butte) north of Brown Road.
North Boundary: Salt River. East Boundary: Includes Florence Junction,
Queen Valley, Kings Ranch. South Boundary: Not fully established.
Post mistress to supply new information directly to the City Planning
Department.
Postal receipts make a pretty good barometer of growth. An attempt
should be made to establish a more logical zip code area which will match
the city's existing or projected growth area. Other types and sources
of information are maintained by zip code number.
AVAILABLE STATISTICAL DATA PAST AND PRESENT
The following charts have been extracted from other reports that have
included the Apache Junction Area. The chart below is from a report
prepared in 1963 and 1964. The population projections for Apache
Junction is reasonably accurate.

POPULATION Apache Junction has shown remarkable population growth since its quiet crossroads status
in 1950 While lack of well defined political boundaries has hindered the U S Census
and other organizations in their estimation efforts, the Arizona Department of Economic
Security has estimated Apache Junction's population at 8,500 at mid year 1976 This
estimate, it should be noted, extends to the west beyond the Maricopa Pinal county line
taking in built up portions of Maricopa County and should reflect the best possible estimate
)' currently available This estimate also reflects an average population, i e somewhat greater
than the actual permanent year round figure although considerably below the temporary
peak experienced in February and March with the influx of winter visitors At the time
of writing, Apache Junction had 63 mobile home and R V parks which regularly achieve
full occupancy during the December April season but often less than one-third occupancy
during the summer. According to figures generated for the Central Arizona Association
of Governments (CAAG), about 61 percent of the Apache Junction area population resided
i there a minimum of 330 days per year CAAG found that about one fifth of the population
resided in the area less than half of the year

Retail sales, bank deposits, postal receipts and school enrollments make
pretty good statistical information in carrying out population estimates,
trends and projects. If a reasonable data base can be established, every
effort should be made by the City to maintain and enhance this data base
for future use.
PROJECTIONS
The following chart indicates estimates and trends of resident population
between 1970 and 1980, with projections to the year 2000 for the State
of Arizona, Maricopa County, Mesa, Tempe and Apache Junction. These
estimates and projections were prepared by the Arizona Department of
Economic Security which is the official demographic agency for the State
of Arizona. This chart indicates the general growth trend lines for each
area. All areas, with the exception of Tempe, showed substantial increases
in growth between 1978 and 1980. The chart indicates a flattening in the
projections after 1980, except for the State. We believe that the Maricopa
County and Apache Junction rate may be slightly steeper than what is
indicated. It is this offices ' feeling that the recent incorporation of
the City will add amenities to the Apache Junction area which will attract
a higher percent of persons coming to the State to settle in Apache Junction.
The extension of the Superstition Freeway closer to Apache Junction will
also tend to increase the desirability to live in Apache Junction.
Consequently, we feel that the actual growth trend line for Apache Junction
during the next decade should be increased to approximately 16,300 persons
for the year 1990 with the trend line remaining approximately as indicated
for the second decade raising the estimated total for the year 2000 to
approximately 21 ,600 persons.

Aloik
Awl
The following chart compares Apache Junction resident population growth
to that of the State, Pinal and Maricopa Counties. It indicates a
growth rate line slightly lower than the State and Maricopa County but
considerably higher than Pinal County. The chart indicates that Apache
lk
Junctions' share in the State total would increase from 0.4% in 1980
to 0.47% for the year 2000. This appears to be a reasonable growth
trend and on this basis, in the year 2000 the State will have approximately
4,280,000 persons with Apache Junction having 20,111 as indicated in the
previous chart. However, with the continuation of people migrating from
the snow and frost belts to the sun belts due to higher energy costs and
more favorable living conditions , also, the completion of the Central
Arizona Project which will assure Eastern and Midwestern industrial and
financial establishments that the State has an assured water supply; then
the State's total growth rate may increase substantially over that
indicated. Also, with increased growth to the East and Southern portions
of the Phoenix Metro Area. Apache Junctions ' growth may increase to more
than 0.5% of the State total thereby raising the towns ' resident population
projection to well over 30,000 by the year 2000.

APACHE JUNCTION ECONOMIC INDICATORS AND POPULATION PROJECTION
Certain economic indicators and statistical data can be a reliable source
in determining population estimates, trends and projections . Since Apache
Junct►on is a new jurisdictional area, available economic data is slight
and questionable due to the statistical area being considered at the time
of the data collection. The chart shows some economic indicators for
data available but questionable. Reta► l sales , bank deposits, postal
receipts and school enrollments are good indicators for projecting future
growth.
Utility connections can also be used as a very good indicator for growth,
as well as provide reasonably good information on seasonal occupancy.
However, Apache Junctions ' utility companies service connection data
cover different service areas and at this time they are not suitable for
reliable projections. Every effort should be made to have utility
service connections accounted in a way which would be of value in making
and supporting future population estimates and projections. A review of
the following chart indicates that retail sales , bank deposits, and postal
receipts have been rapidly increasing since 1973/74, while part of this
is due to inflation, this office believes that it more clearly reflects
a truer and faster growth rate for the Apache Junction area than has
actually been considered. A continued but declining growth rate for these
indicators is projected on the following chart by this office.
Superimposed over this chart is a population projection line following
a growth rate comparable with the other growth indicators This line
starts with a 1980 population of 10,500 x 3 and increases to a population
of 60,300 3 = 20, 100 for a year 2000 population. This projection ► s
close to the 20, 111 projected by the Arizona Department of Economic
Security.

SEASONAL OR WINTER RESIDENTS
Seasonal residents, which have not been included in the previous comments
and projections, account for a large number of Apache Junctions ' total
population. Whether these residents are classified as permanent resi-
dents from a federal census definition is questionable. For the most
part, Apache Junctions' seasonal residents live in mobile home or travel
trailer parks; they consider some other location, where they usually own
property, as being their permanent place of residency.
A survey that was carried out in November of 1980, indicates that there
were 73 separately owned mobile home or travel trailer parks located
within the corporate limits of the City and seven more parks lying ad-
jacent or within the immediate service area of the City. The 73 parks
contained 1719 mobile home spaces and 4305 travel trailer spaces. The
seven parks contained 761 mobile home spaces and 45 travel trailer spaces.
It was indicated during the survey, that 90% of these spaces are filled
during the peak of the winter season. Another survey conducted for the
Central Arizona Association of Governments in 1975 and reported on in
September 1976, indicated that only 61 .4% of the areas population re-
sided in the area for more than 330 days of the year and about 20% re-
sided in the area for less than 180 days of the year. Consequently,
it appears that the seasonal resident population of the City could be
as high as 9760 with another 1300 residing within the general service
area. This project is based upon the assumption of 900 occupancy of
all mobile home and travel trailer spaces and utilizing a 1 .8 persons
per residency ratio. It can also be assumed that over 2200 of these
people reside in the community for more than one half of the year but
claim other places as their permanent place of residency.
Nevertheless, the City of Apache Junction must consider seasonal re-
sidents in its' future planning and growth process for providing muni-
cipal and public services and functions.
The preliminary 1980 Federal Census indicates that the City of Apache
Junction contained 6,960 housing units of which 2,677 were vacant leav-
ing 4273 occupied units containing 9,967 persons for an average of 2.33
persons per occupied unit. If this average or 2.0 were used for sea-
sonal occupancy then the projection would be increased by another 1000
persons.
The special census taken at the time of incorporation in March of 1979
resulted in a count of 10, 128 persons. Considerable controversy is be-
ing carried out regarding the population count by the 1980 Federal
Census in regards to the City of Apache Junction as well as many other
cities of the state and nation. In our opinion, this controversy is

primarily caused by the mass movements of persons primarily of retire-
ment age who travel and reside in multiple locations during the year.
oft. Consequently, we feel it is important for the City of Apache Junction
to attempt to count all of the residents of the community in future
census' that reside in the City for the most part of the year as per-
manent residents and to establish data collection techniques which will
support such a determination.

CONCLUSION
For the purposes of this study, which is to establish baseline projections
for future population growth to determine future community facilities
and space needs. We believe that the following projections should be
considered.
These projections take into consideration permanent year round
residents as well as seasonal residents which should be considered
as permanent residents when determining future City needs , facilities
and services.

Dear Sir:
There is a wash crossing highway 88 located + 200 feet north
of milepost 196.
This wash has been frequently observed flowing in depths
approaching two (2) feet and under storm conditions is a hazard
to pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
This letter is to request the Arizona Department of Transportation
to make provisions for the installation of a drainage structure
to pass a minimum 20 year storm.

Dear Mr. Evans:
Thank you for the opportunity to discuss with you, by 'phone,
Apache Junction's transportation concerns and needs. I'm
delighted to hear you are more than familiar with the locale.
As we discussed, the City is most anxious to have the intersection
of highways 60 and 88 improved. It has been a comfusing inter-
section for some time, and presents continuous threat to life
and property. Today the City has a population of 10,000 per-
manent residents, 30,000 seasonal residents, and daily traffic
volumes exceed 25,000 vehicles per day. Apache Junction is also
presently the 17th largest and fastest growing city in the state.
The City appreciates the Board's action to include Apache Junction
in the FY1981 five year airport development program. We are
presently in the midst of an airport master plan and site selection
.•. study. We are also anxious to see the Superstition freeway extended
and completed to U.S. 60, in the hopes that it will reduce the
volume of thru traffic that presently bisects our city.
I hope that you may find some time in the near future to visit us.
As a young city, we are proud of our accomplishments to date,
and we solicit your help to guide and mould the future of Apache
Junction.

Dear Mrs. Chesley:
I appreciate the opportunity to talk with you via 'phone in
reference to the transportation needs of Apache Junction.
As a new city, incorporated in November of 1978, we immediately
inherited a population of 10,000 permanent residents, 30,000
seasonal residents and daily traffic volumes exceeding 25,000
vehicles per day, along U.S. 60. Apache Junction is also pre-
sently the 17th largest and fastest growing City in the State.
At this time our primary goal is to have the intersection of
U.S. 60 and S.R 88 reconstructed. It must be one of the most
confusing intersections in the State, and it creates a def-
inite threat to life and property.
We also are supporters of the extension and completion of the
Superstition Freeway to U.S. 60. This extension will assuredly
reduce the volume of traffic along U.S. 60 that now divides
our city in half.
The action by the Transportation Board to include Apache Junction
in the FY 19.81 airport development program is greatly appreciated.
We are presently about half way through the process of airport
master planning and a site selection study.
I am looking forward to meeting you on Tuesday, December 16, 1980,
at 1 p.m. here at the City Complex at 1001 North Idaho Road, to
further discuss and observe our concerns.

development for the future.

11 Chairman announced that the public hearing section
of the meeting was open and asked the
Executive Secretary to brief the members on
Item #5 on the agenda, the application of
.a, Mr. Wynn, case BA-18-80.
12. Mr Newcomer explained that the applicant had requested
that the hearing on this case be postponed
until the Board meeting of December 1, 1980
to allow him to change his application
He further explained that the change in the
application would make necessary a new legal
advertisement in the newspaper and that it
could only be accomplished by postponing the
hearing date until December 1, 1980.
13. Chairman asked if the applicant had requested that
the hearing be postponed until December 1, 1980.
14 Mr Newcomer explained that the applicant wished to amend

a resident-caretaker in the mobile trailer.
He added that the applicant had withdrawn his
request for a Special Use Permit and, therefore,
would not be having a hearing before the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission

17. Mr. Newcomer explained that BA-17-80 was the application of
Arthur Dwyer of Rock Shadows Travel Trailer
Resort requesting a variance to permit the
reduction in the side setback requirements so
that people renting the spaces could set up
carport and patio covers next to the travel
trailers.
He added that the park was located at Idaho
and Broadway Road and had approximately 681
spaces The average size of each space being
1,584 sq ft The applicant was requesting
that the side setback requirement be reduced
from three feet (3') to eighteen inches (18").
18 Chairman called upon the spokesman for the applicant
to present his case
19 Mr Geiger stated that he was the spokesman for the
applicant, Arthur Dwyer
He explained to the Board members that the
requirements of the City were different from
those in other cities with regard to the side
setback requirements for travel trailers He
added that Rock Shadows wished only to be able
to do what other area parks could do
He added that the travel trailer owners wished
to be able to set up carports and protective
awnings so as to protect their cars and travel
trailers from the sun. The park owners did

not feel that this would be detrimental or
injurious to the health and safety of the
people involved
- 20. Chairman explained that he had inspected the park and
asked if the awnings would be facing each
other, if set up
21 Mr Geiger explained that there would be room for the
car and carport on each trailer on the side
opposite the other trailer.
22 Chairman asked if the proposed awnings would be
canvas or aluminum
23 Mr Geiger felt that the awnings would be of aluminum-
type construction
24 Chairman asked Mr. Geiger if they had considered the
possible fire hazard with the structures
being so close together
25 Mr Geiger explained that there would be nothing to
burn and that there would be at least thirty
feet (30') from one trailer to the other.
26 Mr Nunn asked Mr. Geiger if he had the "Power of
Attorney" from Arthur Dwyer
27 Mr Newcomer explained that the proper documents were on
file with the Planning Department
28. Mr Nunn asked if the Fire Chief had had the time to
study the situation and, if so, what were
his conclusions
29 Mr Newcomer explained that he had sent a memo to the
Fire Chief requesting his input but had not
received anything back.
30 Mr Nunn recommended that the Board postpone the
hearing until they had information from the
Fire Chief regarding the possible safety
and fire hazards involved.
31. Nunn/Vaughn M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Adjust-
ment of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona,
that the public hearing on case BA-17-80 be
postponed until the meeting of December 1, 1980
so as to allow time to obtain a report from
the Fire Chief on the possible fire hazards"
The motion passed 6-0
32. Mr. Geiger asked when the next meeting would take place
33 Mr Newcomer informed Mr. Geiger that the next Board meeting
would be Monday, December 1, 1980.
34. Mr. Geiger asked if he would be notified of the meeting
35 Mr Newcomer stated that a letter would be sent reminding
him of the meeting date
36. Chairman asked if there were any additional comments
I\ Ink
Page 4 - Board of Adjustment Minutes of November 17, 1980
37 Mrs. Taylor explained that she was speaking neither for
nor against Mr Geiger, but that some of the
older parks in the area did allow the 18"
side setback to permit the awnings and car-
ports She pointed out that the Mesa Fire
Chief had no problem with the smaller require-
ment that some of the Mesa parks had
38. Mr Newcomer pointed out the memo from the Building Admin-
istrator that was in the Board packets The
memo stated that the travel trailers and rec-
reational vehicles did not conform to the one-
hour fire resistance rating as required by the
Uniform Building Code, which the City had
previously adopted
39 Mr Nesser added that since the UBC referred to fire
hazards, that he assumed the Fire Chief also
used it as a reference. He suggested that
Mr Newcomer determine whether or not the
Fire Chief was in agreement with the findings
of the Building Administrator
40 Mr. Newcomer explained that he had made such a request to
the Fire Chief approximately ten (10) days ago,
-. - but had not received any response.
41 Mr Furness added that according to the UBC, the awnings
and carports could not be placed on the travel
trailers at the requested 18" apart.
He explained that it couldn't be done, no
matter what the input of the Fire Chief was
42. Mr Nesser suggested that they wait until the next meeting
to determine what the opinion of the Fire Chief
was
43. Mr Furness reminded the Board members that the Fire Chief
represented the County and not the City
44. Chairman called for additional comments
He then announced a five-minute recess to
allow time for the members to review the
"Minutes" from the previous meeting.
45. Chairman called the meeting to order at 7 40 P M and
stated that he would entertain a motion on
the "Minutes" from the meeting of November 3, 1980
46 Nesser/Vaughn M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Adjustment
of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona, that
the "Minutes" of the meeting of November 3, 1980
be approved as written "
The motion passed 5-0 with Mr. Morrison
abstaining since he had not attended the
meeting in question
47 Chairman asked if there was any other business to be
considered at this time.
48 Mr Newcomer informed the Board that he had met earlier
in the day with a man who had purchased the
Page 5 - Board of Adjustment Minutes of November 17, 1980
property that had been the subject of case
BA-9-80 earlier in the year He explained
that the original had never done anything
with the property after being granted the
variance.
He added that the new owner was now having
problems placing a mobile home on the prop-
erty because of the Board's original resol-
ution requiring that the CR-3 setbacks be
complied with
49 Mr Nesser stated that he recalled the case and that the
Board had inspected the property and had found
the storage shed to be well-constructed, but
had decided that it must be placed in com-
pliance with the CR-3 requirements
50. Mr. Newcomer explained that it was not possible for the
property owner to comply with the requirements.
51 Mr Nesser asked if it was necessary for the property
owner to come before the Board or if the
Board could change the wording in the original
resolution.
52 Nesser/Furness M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Adjustment
of—the City of Apache Junction, Arizona, that
the new owner of Lot #39 in the Hughes Place
Subdivision be permitted to come before the
Board to present his proposal for the place-
ment of the storage shed on the lot."
The motion passed 6-0
53 Mr. Newcomer added that the original variance ran with the
property, not the owner, and that it also
applied to the other such lots that were in
that same subdivision.
54 Mr Vaughn requested copies of the "Minutes" from that
particular meeting before the next meeting
55. Chairman called for additional comments.
There being none, he called for a motion to
adjourn
56. Vaughn/Nunn M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Adjust-
ment of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona,
that the meeting be adjourned."
The motion passed 6-0.

1. Chairman opened the meeting at 7 00 P.M and directed
the Executive Secretary to call the roll.
2 Mr Gero called the roll and determined eight members
present as indicated above
3. Chairman announced a quorum present and asked the
members to review the "Minutes" from the
meeting of October 14, 1980 which they had
before them
4 Steelsmith/Strickler M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning and
Zoning Commission of the City of Apache
Junction, Arizona, that the "Minutes" from
the meeting of October 14, 1980, be accepted
and approved as written".
The motion passed 6-0 with Mr Hudson and
Mr Oltman abstaining since they had not
attended the meeting in question
5 Chairman called the Commission's attention to the
next item on the agenda which involved the
State Statutues and asked the Executive Sec-
retary to explain them to the members
6. Mr. Gero explained that the State Statutes outlined
the requirements for a motion which included
giving the reasons for such a motion He
reminded the members that until such time that
the official "Minutes" were drawn up, the tape
of the meeting was the official record, and
that the tape should contain the reasons for
any motion that the Commission members might
make He added that these reasons did not
have to be in a proper form and that the
Executive Secretary and Secretary would be
able to put the proper legal wording in, if
necessary
7. Mr Hudson stated that he had belonged to numerous
boards and commissions, and that he had never
before been required to present his reasons
for a motion in writing, but that it had al-
ways been the responsibility of the Secretary
to put them into the "Minutes" He agreed
that if the State Statutes required a full
motion, in writing, that the City Boards and
ikk
Page 2 - Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of November 18, 1980
Commissions should adhere to it and at
enter the complete motion onto the tape
He added that since the other boards and
commissions he had served on did not always
have the full motion, then they were in
violation of the State Statutes
8. Chairman agreed that while the Commission preferred
to keep its motions informal, it was also
necessary to give reasons for these same
motions and that, for obvious reasons, these
full motions should be on the official tape.
9 Mr Hudson agreed that a formal motion was not always
good because someone might want to make a
change in the recommended motion
10. Mr Gero suggested that the Commission discuss the
procedure they wanted to follow in the prep-
aration of their motions with the Rules and
Procedures Subcommittee which would soon be
presenting their recommendations to the
Commission He informed the members that the
Subcommittee actions had been delayed until
the City Clerk had completed his own work on
the Handbook for the City Boards and Commis-
ions.
11 Chairman pointed out the section in the State Statues
((( which called for the presentation of a written
recommendation following the hearing He
agreed that the law does not say that it had
to be done "on the spot", but also pointed
out that it was the advice of the City Attorney
to get into the practice of writing out the
reasons for the recommendation
He added that the people were owed the reasons
for the recommendation and should be able to
know what they were without having to play the
recording of the meeting. If clarification or
additional information was necessary, then the
tape and the written "Minutes" would be there
He called for additional comments and recommen-
ded that the matter be turned over to the sub-
committee when they work on establishing the
guidelines for the Commission.
12 Chairman There being no further discussion, he announced
the opening of the public hearings and asked
the Executive Secretary to brief the members
on the first case, SUP-3-80
13 Mr Gero pointed out the letter from the applicant,
Mr Wynn, in which he requested that the
application be withdrawn
14 Chairman said that he would entertain a motion on
case SUP-3-80
15 Oltman/Baker M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning and
coning Commission of the City of Apache
Junction, Arizona, that the application of
Mr. Wynn, SUP-3-80, be withdrawn and removed
from the agenda"
The motion passed 8-0
II -
Page 3 - Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of November 18, 1980
16 Mr Gero pointed out the comments from the City
Attorney that the application might be in
jeopardy due to a question of the planning
procedures and the right of the Commission
to approve a Special Use Permit in the first
place
17 Chairman announced the opening of the public hearing
on case SUP-87-80 and asked the Executive
Secretary to brief the Commission on the case.
18 Mr Gero explained that this was an application for a
Special Use Permit submitted to Pinal County
by Mr Junker for a small-batch cement plant
located south of the City off Ironwood Drive.
He added that this was strictly an advisory
hearing requested by Pinal County, and was
not a formal public hearing
He reminded the Commission of an earlier re-
quest for rezoning in that same area submit-
ted by Howell Anderson This request was
denied by Pinal County based on complaints
that the requested industrial rezoning would
allegedly deplete the water supply of the people
living in the area and that the use would
create a lot of dust. These complaints had
been lodged by Mr and Mrs Womack and allegedly
a son-in-law who had not appeared at the hear-
ing This son-in-law was also the applicant
at this time, Mr Junker
19. Chairman called on the applicant to present his case.
20 Mr Alexander announced that he was the attorney for Mr
Junker and pointed out on the map where the
property in question was located. " He ex-
plained that it was a two-acre parcel and
was the first privately owned land going
west from Ironwood
He explained that there was a difference in
the rezoning as requested by Mr Anderson and
the Special Use Permit requested by Mr. Junker.
The Special Use Permit would not be for a
large parcel of land as would a rezoning A
time limit would also be imposed and would
also be held to a specific use, while the
rezoning to an industrial area would be open
to a number of uses
He further explained the previous problem
with the water in that only one pump was in
use and that the same pump would be used to
supply water for three families as well as
the industrial uses Mr Junker had since
contacted a well driller and was in the process
of trying to obtain his own water supply
He added that sufficient groundwater was avail-
able, but that a well would have to be drilled
The Central Arizona Project canals going
through the area would eventually isolate the
area, keeping it apart from the development of
Apache Junction He concluded by stating that
Apache Junction was in need of industrial
uses and that the City should look to other
areas for these uses if the people did not
want them within the actual City limits
He added that the dust would not create a
problem since the Junker land was the first
Page 4 - Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of November 18, 1980
land off Ironwood that was inhabited, that
the trucks would not be passing any homes
on Houston Road
21 Chairman thanked Mr Alexander and asked if there
were any questions
22 Mrs Baker asked if a permit had been obtained from
the State to drill the well that had been
mentioned
23 Mr Alexander replied. "No".
24. Mrs. Baker asked if there was a problem in obtaining
the permit.
25 Mr Alexander replied that there was a problem The
owner of the drilling company did not anti-
- cipate any problem, but he did himself
26. Mr. Hutchens asked why the batch plant had been in oper-
ation without first requesting the special
use permit or going through the rezoning
process.
27 Mr Alexander replied that the applicant had offered
goods for sale around September 1st and had
been issued the Cease and Desist order on
October 20th He added that the plant had
not been in operation for a long period of
time.
28 Mrs Taylor questioned the size of the operation and
the amount of traffic that it would involve.
29. Mr. Junker replied that it was a small, portable plant,
and would have 3 to 4 trucks. The area
could not support a larger operation
30. Mrs. Taylor asked if the materials would be stockpiled
or brought in as needed.
31. Mr Junker replied that the materials were brought in
as needed, mixed and hauled out He added
that there were no grinders or presses that
could handle the raw materials.
32 Mrs Taylor asked if the trucks would be going past the
schools and through Apache Junction.
33. Mr. Junker replied that the trucks would most likely
use Ironwood Road and Apache Trail, depen-
ding on their destination
34 Mrs Taylor asked if there was access to the property
from the west
35 Mr. Junker explained that the road to the west was
not used very often and was not in good
condition
36 Mr. Gero asked what hours the plant would be in
operation
37 Mr Junker explained that the hours would vary, being
6.00 AM until 12 00 PM during the winter,
and 4.00 AM until 11 00 AM during the summer
AO .•.
Page 5 - Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of November 18, 1980
38 Mr 0ltman asked if there was enough water available for
fire purposes
39 Mr Junker replied that they were not given any fire pro-
Amok tection since they were outside of the Fire
Department jurisdiction He explained that there
was one well to service 40 acres of land and
three residential houses. During the summer
there was a water problem when all three families
were using the water for their plants and such.
He added that one of the property owners, Mr.
Haas, was supposed to build a three-stage water
storage system, but that nothing had been done
on it as yet
40 Mr Gero asked if Arizona Water had any intentions of
extending their lines into the area.
41. Mr. Junker replied that he had been hearing rumors of
such plans for the past eight years
42. Mr. Gero asked how many years of operation would be
necessary for Mr Junker to get a return on
his operation
43 Mr. Junker explained that it would be difficult to deter-
mine since it was all based on economics
44. Mr. Gero asked if it was predictable that the plant would
have to operate for several years before there
{ was a return on the investment
45 Mr Junker stated that the larger plants needed ten to
twenty years to get a return on their invest-
ment, but their initial investment was in the
millions of dollars.
46 Mrs Taylor asked where the four mobile homes on the property
got their water from.
p
47 Mr Junker stated that there weren't any mobile homes on
the property
48 Mr Hudson asked that if and when the new well was drilled,
would there be three-phase electric also installed
49 Mr. Junker replied that Salt River Project had already been
contacted and that the power would be put in
within sixty days of notification
50 Mr Hutchens asked how the question of the Commission to
grant a Special Use Permit in the first place
might affect this case
51 Mr Gero explained that it might have bearing on the
situation since a question was raised on the
legislation involved in permitting such a
hearing
52 Mr Alexander stated that the portion of the Zoning Ordinance
referred to applied only to what the Commission
can or cannot do and that in this case the
burden of the decision fell on Pinal County
with the City Commission only providing a rec-
ommendation on the case to the County
Page 6 - Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of November 18, 1980
53 Mr Hutchens asked if the Commission could be deleted from
that responsibility since the Section of the
Zoning Ordinance was now under discussion.
54 Mr Gero explained that according to the State Statutes,
only the City Council can legislate with regard
to rezoning It was possible that that Section
of the Ordinance was an improper delegation of
powers and that this same thing might be applied
to the County Planning and Zoning Commission
since the original City Zoning Ordinance had
been adopted from the County.
55 Mr Alexander stated that the actions of the legislative body
in Pinal County did not apply with what was
going on at this City hearing
56 Mr Gero contended that there was a relationship because
if the Section of the Ordinance was void, then
there was no basis for a special use permit
57 Mr Alexander disagreed with Mr. Gero, and added that the
City was only acting as an advisor in this
situation
58. Mrs. Taylor asked that since there was no comment from any
of the adjoining property owners, could the City
Commission make no recommendation and be consid-
ered neutral
59. Mr. Gero stated that since this was not an advertised
Il public hearing that none of the other property
owners were notified of the meeting
60 Chairman called for other questions or comments
61 Mr Gero reminded the Commission that an industrial use
for a number of years does establish the use
and actually is a rezoning to the industrial
classification The City Commission had rec-
ommended the Anderson application to the County
He added that the land in that area was not suited
to residential and subdivision uses because of
the subsidence of the land. He called attention
to the fact that there might be a problem with
obtaining a permit to drill the well because
it was now necessary to obtain a certificate
of assured water supply from the State.
62 Mr Alexander explained that the existing well was fine, but
that the pump was inadequate He added that Mr
Anderson had proposed to use holding tanks for
the industrial water uses until such time that
another well was drilled.
63. Mr Gero questioned how there could be enough water for
the batch plant if it was already stated that
water shortages occurred during some times of
the year.
64 Mr Hudson asked who owned the well
65. Mr Junker explained that the well was on the property of a
Mr Bruno who was the original owner of the forty
acres that he had a part in purchasing. The con-
tract for the purchase of the forty acres had also
included telephone service, utilities, water, etc.
Mr Bruno had not supplied them with these.
... ...
Page 7 - Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of November 18, 1980
66 Mr Hudson asked how deep and what size the well was
67. Mr. Junker explained that the well was 523' deep and 11"
wide He added that while the well was on the
/►. Bruno's property, the lines ran to his own prop-
erty and that he had maintained the well himself
for the past several years. He had made improve-
ments on the well and constructed a 3,000 gallon
storage tank
68. Chairman stated that this explanation clarified the issue
as to why there was an objection to the Anderson
request for rezoning to industrial
69 Mrs Baker asked if Mr Bruno was aware of the water use.
70 Mr Junker replied that he was, but that the individual
people using the well were paying the charges.
71 Chairman called for additional questions or comments
There being none, he called for a motion
72 Mrs Taylor commented that no matter what the recommendation,
there was still a question as to whether or not
the basis for it was legal
73. Chairman stated that that could be a part of the discussion
after a motion had been made
( 74. Steelsmith/Baker M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning and Zoning
Il >ommission of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona,
that it recommend approval of Special Use Permit
SUP-87-80 to the Pinal County Planning and Zoning
Commission, with the following stipulations
1) That the permit be for the property owner only,
and would become null and void if the use were
to be abandoned or the property sold.
2) That the permit be granted on a yearly basis
/► with the applicant required to request a re-
newal, in writing, thirty days prior to the
expiration of the permit
3) That the applicant comply with Section 1709
"Industrial Buffers" of the Pinal County
Zoning Ordinance
4) That the applicant should have not more than
four (4) mixer trucks
5) That the applicant comply with all County, State
and Federal health and safety laws, including
the Arizona State Air Quality control standards.
6) That the permit be issued pending approval of
the well and complying with the State laws "
75 Mr Steelsmith explained that he felt this area was well-suited
to industrial uses and that the City was in need
of such industry
76 Chairman added that since the Superstition Freeway would
be in the area that the land was well suited to
industrial uses.
77 Mr Hudson agreed with the motion and added that the problems
regarding the water should be the owners' respon-
sibility and not the Commission
78 Mr Hutchens agreed with Mr Hudson, but questioned whether or
not the Commission could make a recommendation.
Amok Am,
Page 8 - Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of November 18, 1980
79 Mr Oltman stated that he was concerned about the fire
hazards involved.
80 Mr Hudson added that any industrial use would have a
Ark fire hazard
81. Chairman called for additional comments or questions.
There being none, he called for a roll call vote.
82 Mr Gero called the roll for a vote on the motion
The motion passed 8-0
83. Mr. Gero suggested that the Commission next discuss the
Street Name Committee report since the parties
involved might not be able to stay until the
end of the meeting.
84 Chairman recommended that the next item for discussion
be the Street Name Committee report, and asked
it there were any objections.
There being none, he asked Mr. Newcomer to
present to report to the Commission
85 Mr Newcomer explained that the members of the Street Name
Committee had met on three separate occasions to
discuss the situation During these meetings,
the committee had formulated several recommendations
and suggested criteria for future street name
situations in the City.
86. Chairman stated that the members of this committee should
be commended for the work done
87 Mr Newcomer added that Clay Worst and Lorraine Krause of the
local post office had been very helpful to the
committee
He explained that the committee had discussed the
basic street name system, the problem of the dual
Ask street names in Palm Springs, and establishing
criteria for future street alignments
88 Mrs Taylor stated that the Commission should send letters to
the members of the committee thanking them for the
work done
89 Mr Newcomer added that the committee had recommended that the
City adopt the ASAP policy guidelines
90 Chairman asked if the responsibility of naming streets
would be that of the Commission or of the Public
Works Department.
91. Mr. Gero explained that the Council was responsible for the
adopting of street names, but that they would be
looking to the Commission for recommendations
92. Chairman asked what the recommendations of the committee
were
93 Mr Newcomer explained that the committee had recommended:
1) The adoption of the Uniform Address and
Street Assignment Policy as used by the local
Post Office
2) That the East-West alignments in the Palm
Springs area maintain their original names,
but be suffixed "Avenue" and prefixed "East"
Page 9 - Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of November 18, 1980
3) That E. 21st Avenue be changed to E Osage
Avenue
4) That the "Address and Street Assignment
Policy Manual", September 1979 edition, be
..w adopted as a policy guideline
5) Junction Drive be re-named Junction Street.
6) Meridian Road be re-named to Meridian Drive.
7) That the "Official Street Name Map of Apache
Junction, Arizona", be adopted after all
changes and editions have been made.
8) That future new street alignments be allowed
to have the last names of the first and interim
City Council members due to the historical
significance
9) That it be recommended to the City Council
the approval of the names shown on the Street
Naming Map throughout the Northeast quadrant
of the City so that the street signs could
be ordered for the area It was noted that
this map included two new alignments, Cones-
toga Road and Chaparral Road
94 Mr Gero added that those people living on streets where
a name change did occur would be given a one-year
period in which to make the adjustment
95 Chairman thanked Mr Newcomer and the Committee members
for the work and recommendations.
96 Mr Benson stated that he had learned a lot while working
on the committee and that he had enjoyed it
97 Chairman stated that he would entertain a motion on
the Committee's recommendations
98. Hutchens/Taylor M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning and Zoning
Commission of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona,
that the Commission recommend to the City Council
the recommendations as outlined by the Street
..•► Name Committee".
The motion passed 8-0.
99 Chairman asked the Executive Secretary to brief the
members on the next case, PZ-19-80.
100 Mr Gero explained that the next item was a request for
a Commission Initiative on the rezoning of
Section 32, which had not been rezoned since its
annexation into the City He added that the
concerned parties regarding the rezoning, in-
cluding the State Land Department, the School
District and Central Arizona College, had all
been contacted and asked for an opinion on the
proposed rezoning.
He further explained that the State had a six-
month time limit on establishing the zoning in
a newly annexed area, and it was now up to the
Commission to have an Initiative, advertise a
public hearing and consider the rezoning as an
agenda item. He added that the north half of
the Section would be zoned CR-1 and the south
half would be GR This GR zone would allow
grazing, which might possibly be the subject of
a State Land lease application

101. Chairman called for questions or comments
102 Mr Hutchens asked how far from Section 32 was the batch
plant of Mr. Junker.
103 Mr Gero replied that it was approximately 1/2 mile away
104. Mr. Hutchens asked if the closeness of the possible indus-
trial zones would create junk yards by the
high school and college
105 Mr. Gero reminded the Commission members that the Freeway,
once completed, would be acting as a barrier.
106. Chairman asked if the CR-1 zone would be directly south
of Southern Avenue.
107. Mr. Gero replied that the CR-1 zone would be between
Southern Avenue and the proposed Freeway.
108. Mr Hudson pointed out that industry close to schools
was often a good idea because of the interest
in vocational education and additional classes
He agreed that the suggested rezoning was a
good idea.
109. Hutchens/Hudson M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning and Zoning
lommission of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona,
that case PZ-19-80 be advertised for public hearing
( as a Commission Initiative for the next meeting
Ill on December 9, 1980"
The motion passed 8-0
110. Chairman asked Mr. Gero to brief the members on the next
item on the agenda
111 Mr Gero explained that case PZ-18-80 was a request for a
Commission Initiative to delete Section 23.02 (o)
of the City Zoning Ordinance He further ex-
plained that the City Attorney was concerned
about the possibility of that Section delegating
powers to the Commission that, according to
State Statutes, were reserved only for the City
Council
112 Mr. Hutchens asked if the deletion of this Subsection would
remove the Special Use Permits from the Commission
and pass them on to the Council instead
113 Mr Gero explained that the deleting of the Subsection
would remove the tool by which a person could
apply for a Special Use Permit He added that
even though the language of the entire Section
might not be proper, it was advisable that the
Commission only concern themselves with Sub-
section (o) at this time
114 Mr Steelsmith asked what steps were necessary to get the lan-
guage into the proper form
115 Mr Gero replied that the Zoning Ordinance would have to
be reviewed section by section He added that
the Commission would first be reviewing the Sub-
i► oft.
Page 11 - Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of November 18, 1980
division Ordinance and then the re-writing of
the City Zoning Ordinance
116 Mr Steelsmith asked if it was important that the Subsection
p"► be in the Ordinance
117 Mr Gero replied that it would be more harmful if left in
118. Chairman called for additional questions or comments
There being none, he called for a motion
119 Baker/Taylor M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning and Zoning
Commission of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona,
that case PZ-18-80 be advertised as a public
hearing as a Commission Initiative for the next
meeting of December 9, 1980".
The motion passed 8-0.
120. Chairman asked the Executive Secretary to brief the
members on Item #8 of the agenda
121. Mr. Gero pointed out that Item #8 called the members'
attention to the Boards and Commission Handbook
which had recently been given to them He added
that this was a guideline which could be very
helpful to them in formulating their own set of
rules and procedures
122. Chairman asked if there was any other business.
123 Mr Newcomer pointed out that the members had been given a
memo regarding the Commission Sub-committee on
modular housing, and also a copy of a letter
received from the State offices outlining the
various definitions. -
124 Chairman asked if these definitions were narrower than
the ones that the City used
Pik
125 Mr Newcomer explained that the State definitions were more
restrictive.
126. Mr. Steelsmith added that the modulars must conform to the
Uniform Building Code
127. Chairman stated that the Commission should be concerned
with the definitions of a modular house since
there were already some in the City.
128 Mr Gero explained that upon five calls from Commission
members, the Department would proceed with a
Commission Initiative to advertise a public
hearing on the definitions
129 Chairman asked if the question of a Commission Initiative
could be handled now
130 Mr. Gero replied that it could.
131 Steelsmith/Baker M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning and Zoning
Commission of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona,

changes that were necessary in the codified
version of the Zoning Ordinance He asked the
members to take the pages with the changes out
of the packet and place them in the proper place
in the Zoning Ordinance

questions

Dear Richard,
Thank you for your recent, very kind and complementary letter. It
was my sincere pleasure to be able to meet and talk with members of
the City of Apache Junction Airport Commission and staff about the
Scottsdale Airport/Industrial Airpark. More importantly, I hope
that I was able to convey to the Coriunission the requirement to ade-
quately plan at the outset for the future development of your airport.
Apache Junction has an opportunity to develop an outstanding airport/
industrial airpark. Land resources are currently available to insure
compatible uses in the peripheral areas of such airport wherever it
may be located. I urge the Commission and the City Council to plan
the airport/industrial airpark in such a way as to insure for its
future growth and operational/environmental integrity.
Again, my thanks and appreciation for being permitted to brief you
and the Commissioners on our outstanding, but trouble-plagued
airport/industrial airpark. If I can be of further help to you on
this or any airport related matter, please contact me.
Sincerely yours,
SCOTTSDALE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT _"1710. _ .

COMMUNITY SERVICES
The fourth issue of Senior Sounds has been printed. Approximately 500
copies will be distributed throughout the community. We're still not
getting the community involvement we anticipated, but it is continuing
to grow.
A program relating to drugs was given Wednesday to a Girl Scout troop
by our department and the Police Department. Remember, coordination
is done through the Community Service Department. This same prog mm
was given to parents and scout leaders on Tuesday evening.
Mailed out plenty of entry forms for the First Annual Lost Dutchman
Days Basketball Tournament. Hoping for a good turn-out of teams
from all over the state.
A majority of the week we spent on ironing out some of the mino r
details for the upcoming volleyball league and basketball tournament.
We are getting great response and cooperation with the school district.
We seemed to have an active group appointed to our Parks and Recreation
Commission. They seemed to have plenty of ideas and suggestions.
The kids are still coming in and signing up for the Youth Job Referral
service. Unfortunately we need more employers.
The Community continues to show interest in the Golden Age Softball
League. Should be a success.
Everyone must realize these programs aren't going to begin with full
community involvement. Once you get one started, they will continue
to grow.
