CALL TO THE PUBLIC , Ms.Sandie Smith,575 N,Idaho Road,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding the proposed landfill for the City of Phoenix being placed in the Apache Junction area.She has discussed the issue with their staff three times and has asked them what part of "no"do they not understand.They would have to come through planning and zoning and the Pinal County Board of Supervisors for approval if it should be in the county.The county has told the City of Phoenix they are not interested in having a landfill near Pecos Road.She has been told they have to let the process work so at this time the site would be included until site elimination starts.She assured the council that this would have no chance of passing through zoning in Pinal County.She commented she had referred Phoenix to Apache Junction as she is aware the city has employment and residential base plans for that area. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail,Apache Junction,Greater Apache Junction Association for Effective Government,addressed the council regarding the use of ethanol from landfills as a possible solution to the energy problem.He reminded everyone of his court case.on the CFP and that the city should not be considering abandoning the city complex until that issue is settled.He remarked on his other court cases against'the city and commented that maybe the city should settle issues before they were taken to court,costing the city additional time and money. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 3 OF 35 Mr.Tom Schuelke,1889 S.Palo Verde,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding instituting a property tax.His reasons are it would reduce the burden on the poor who pay too great a share due to many regressive provisions in the tax code,a more fair allocation of costs of city services between full and part time residents,a proper allocation of costs of capital improvement items to property owners who benefit from them,and they are tax deductible for those that itemize.He estimated a property tax would save residents $750,000 on $5 million collected in property tax.He commented the use of a sales tax is a detriment to the citizens.He added a zero tax rate would give an advantage to local merchants over other cities and level the playing field with those in unincorporated areas.The city would feel less pressure for concessions for retailers considering moving to the area due to the sales tax dollars they would generate by moving here.He urged the city to not abandon the administration building as he believes i t -can be put back into suitable condition economically.He urged they disregard the poll taken by the News as the information provided in the survey was erroneous.He commented on the possibility of the Town of Superior asking for a donation for an -airport at Florence Junction,and encouraged the council to decline. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Curtis Shook commented there is a hearing at 6:00 p,m.tomorrow at the Senior Center regarding redistricting.They will betaking public comment at that time.The city has suffered from no direct representation and the legislative districts have been split so we really have no representation. He introduced the new Director of Development Services,Dean Svoboda. PUBLIC HEARINGS PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1152/CASE PZ-15/00/ REZONING REQUEST AND PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.01-11/CASE SD-04-01/CONCURRENT PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT BY MASON LUNDELL ON BEHALF OF HEC ENGINEERING FOR TWO VACANT FIVE -ACRE PARCELS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST BROADWAY AVENUE 660'EAST OF SOUTH SAN MARCOS DRIVE )Assistant Planner Juli McDaid briefed the council on the item.The applicants wish to rezone the property for a 33 -lot subdivision of single family homes.I t is currently zoned REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 4 OF 35 general rural:they wish to rezone to straight CR-3.All proposed lots meet minimum lot size.The elevations will have architectural features such as stucco finish,window pop outs,and two-tone exteriors.Staff had requested a floor plan be included of at least 2,000 sq.ft.and one was received today for 2,050 sq.ft.There will be a common area accessible by all lots in the subdivision,to include two ramadas,a tot lot,and a half court basketball. The applicant has decided not to square off the common area.The subdivision .will be required to connect to the sewer system.There is a significant drainage channel running through the property that will be redirected. Suggested conditions had been included in the information given to the council.Four conditions were added to the preliminary plat,and that information was provided to the council previous to.this meeting. Mayor Coleman requested the applicant address the council. Mr.Jim Eaton,170 East Guadalupe, addressed the council.They intend to build a subdivision equal to or better than those built by Beazer.They believe their homes will be much nicer,with bigger lots and more open space.All of the homes are single story so as not to impose on the view of other residents.They have dedicated 50'to the city for Broadway Road improvements.The tot lot was designed so that families could be pulled to the right side of the subdivision,which will have homes costing less and have smaller lots.The west side will have the open area to give a certain amount of privacy.They will dress up the entries to make i t very nice on Broadway Road. Councilmember Eck commented he liked the development and its location,but he feels that Lot 13 should be added to the tot lot.They are trying to create as much open space as possible. Mr.Jim Eaton Stated they thought about that with the different options.They started with 35 lots and worked hard to accommodate the city's wishes.They did not want a large,squared off ,area in the middle of the subdivision;they wanted to allow for diversity. Those couples without children could have i t a little quieter on the west side.He realizes they like to have things squared off,but he believes they have ample space down in the west corner with a large retention area there. They have over exceeded the open space required for this subdivision. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 5 OF 35 Councilmember Eck commented he still disagreed with him. Councilmember Dietz asked if the open space retention area on Tract A would be grassed in and if any amenities would be added. Mr.Jim Eaton stated i t is more of a retention basin.There will be half court basketball within the tot lot and two ramadas.There will also be a sandbox and playground equipment. retention basin would be grassed in. grassed in for open 'space. Councilmember Dietz asked if the Mr.Jim Eaton stated it would be Councilmember Dietz asked if the. drainage channel would be landscaped and have river rock. Mr.Jim Eaton stated they would like to be able to do that;it would depend on the amount of flow. Councilmember Dietz asked if the whole wash would be concrete if it did not have the amount of flow required. Mr.Jim Eaton stated that is correct. Councilmember Dietz asked if they would be landscaping around the edges of the channel. Mr.Jim Eaton stated they would along Broadway Road,and it would be fenced off on the west side. Councilmember Dietz stated they would have the wall,the wash,and then peoples'backyards.He asked what would be between the wash and peoples'backyards. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 6 OF 35 Mr.Jim Eaton stated the wall will be at the end of the property line on the backyards,placing i t between the backyards and the wash. Councilmember Dietz asked if the wall would have wrought iron or would this just be a block wall tunnel. Mr.Jim Eaton stated it would be a block wall tunnel. Councilmember Dietz commented they have created trail systems along the washes with other subdivisions,and he was hoping they would do the same.He also understood from the senior planner last evening that the wash would be landscaped.He thought that was one of the conditions. Senior Planner Rudy Esquivias stated he believed that was along the wash on the west side. Councilmember Dietz stated they had discussed the wash along the west side and the possibility of the trail system through there to connect with oth&s. Senior Planner Rudy Esquivias stated he touched base with the applicant this morning about the possibility of providing a pedestrian walkway. Mr.Jim Eaton stated they recognize the trail system is something the city would like to have.He commented they feel they have exceeded the accommodations required.It would be nice,but they do not believe the wash would provide for a trail due to its flow. Councilmember Dietz commented the wash continues on through the Lennar subdivision and Renaissance Point,and they both have trail systems along the wash.They would like to see a diagonal intercity trail system that is landscaped that the citizens can use. Senior Planner Rudy Esquivias stated they were asking for that from the applicant for the area along the west side. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 7 OF 35 There was an area where a wrought iron fence was stipulated.They have asked for landscaping along the banks of the wash. Councilmember Dietz commented that is what is in condition seven. Mr.Jim Eaton stated that is something that they will meet then. Councilmember Dietz commented he would like to see a little trail system through that landscaping. Mr.Jim Eaton stated this was not a• part of the general plan and they were trying to stay within the establishment of the general plan.. Councilmember Eck asked what was not part of the general plan. Mr.Jim Eaton stated the trail system is not part of the general plan. Councilmember Eck suggested they go with a planned development and start all over. Vice Mayor Surra commented a walkway that follows the wash is not necessarily a trail,but it would connect to some of the other walkways that are being used as trails. Councilmember Dietz stated they are used just south and north of the subdivision,connecting into Phelps.They follow the same wash that the applicant believes is too dangerous because i t carries too much water.He would like to see a trail run along i t instead of having i t stop at their subdivision. Councilmember Urich commented she would like to see them eliminate Lot 13 so there would be accessibility and availability from both cul-de-sacs,for both tots and adults. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 8 OF 35 Mr.Jim Eaton stated they do as well at this point. Councilmember Urich stated this would then be usable space that would not be under water. Mr.Jim Eaton stated the tot lot is L-shaped,and It then opens up for the Whole subdivision,being accessible from all sides. Councilmember Urich stated it would be even more accessible for both sides if Lot 13 was eliminated. Mr.Jim Eaton stated they recognize that,but they started out with 35 lots.Because of what has been given to the city,i t has gotten to the point where they believe they are trying to provide a nice subdivision for the city.In order for it to be feasible,he has to be able to provide for the landscaping,entries,and.a nice tot lot, rather than just having a big open space of grass. Councilmember Urich commented i t is a nice subdivision,she would just like to make i t nicer. Vice Mayor Surra stated she understands his reason for leaving Lot: 13 as a noise buffer for those people whavould'want to locate on the west side.They.would Still have access to the open area.She would like, him to rethink the idea of ha.ving ,some:kind Of meandering walkway along the site of the drainage channel_The city has to look.at the future,: and even though i t is not.in the general plan,the city has talked about a trail system interconnecting the -city.She would appreciate it if they would add that. Mr.Jim Eaton stated they are here toillake it the best subdivision they can.I t is something they would , definitely consider.I t is feasible and it would not take away from the plan that they put together,like taking away :a whole lot does.He commented they would absolutely consider the walkway. Vice Mayor Surra asked if she -heard the word "absolutely". REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 9 OF 35 Mr.Jim Eaton stated they would definitely put in the walkway. Mayor Coleman stated that would be stipulation ten. Mr.Jim Eaton stated they would put one in if council would work with them to make this subdivision what they want. Councilmember Durbala commented even just a gravel walkway would be sufficient to start,and make i t about 4'wide. Vice Mayor Surra commented she could see their limitations regarding whether they could make i t financially feasible or not with just 33 lots.She is all for the subdivision with the walkway added. Councilmember Durbala commented he does not have a problem leaving with their leaving Lot 13 in,but he agrees with Councilmember Dietz that the trail system is in the general plan.He believes the families would have better accessibility if Lot 13 were left in. Councilmember Eck commented he still thinks Lot 13 should be a tot lot.He would like to see a bigger open space. He questioned how many families would be in that subdivision,and the possibility of having 50 to 100 kids trying to use that open space. Mr.Jim Eaton stated they are also providing a large grassed retention area;he believed it would not be pooled very often.That area is 130'x 150'.He believes they have provided plenty of open space,with this,the centralized area and the tot lot area. City Manager Curtis Shook asked how many lots they could have under the current zoning. Senior Planner Rudy Esquivias stated . they could have a maximum of 8. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 10 OF 35 City Manager Curtis Shook stated they are picking up 26 lots be rezoning the property. Vice Mayor Surra commented they are providing more options for the people buying the homes in this area.She sees this as a fit for this neighborhood. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item.There being no one wishing to speak,he closed the public hearing and reopened the item to council discussion.There being no further discussion,he called for a motion.

CASE PZ-02-01/APPEAL OF LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS,SECTION 6.1.5(D)4 TRANSITION/SEPARATION OF USES BY ROBERT LEMBERGER ON BEHALF OF LEAR DEVELOPMENT LLC )Assistant Planner Juli McDaid briefed the council on the item.This is for a commercial mini -storage on a lot located at 1441 E.Old West Highway,currently zoned CB -2.They are appealing the requirement for an 8'wall to separate a commercial and residential development on the southeast side of the property.They would also like to reduce the setbacks required between the two buildings to 10' from 25'.The developer does not want to create a dead space between the building and the separation wall.The development will have a three-story state-of-the-art mini -storage building,as well as a single -story mini -storage building which will contain an office and residential apartment.The rear of the lot was previously approved for an RV storage.She has not received any comments from the KOA regarding the development.She believes staff and the applicant have come together on a plan resolving the previous issues with the setback and wall.Staff has asked that architectural treatments be added to the northeast and southeast side of the building,and they suggested things like split -faced block,color -banding and architectural pop -outs.They would REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 12 OF 35 like to see an 8'high wrought iron fence with an engineered foundation and have that installed along the entire length of the southeast property line. That would provide a smoother transition between the residential and commercial properties.They would like to see that fence height measured also from the finished grade of the commercial property to determine if there is an elevation difference between the two.They are asking that lighting be required along the southeast side of the building and in other areas necessary based on some of the safety requirements contained in the ordinance that the police department uses.They ask that the lighting to be non -intrusive to neighboring properties yet still allowing for adequate illumination of the property for security.There is a 10'landscape strip required along the entire length of the southeastern property line.Staff would like the plants that are installed to be at a higher density and a more mature size.This should allow for a little more screening due to the plants being larger and also include but not be limited to some of the darker plant materials that are conducive to screening pedestrian traffic in that area.Landscaping also is required along the front of the property,including the right-of-way,which is wider than some areas along the Trail,and that plant types in the front area include any of the low water consumptive varieties that are designed to create this type of pleasing appearance.The landscape plan shall be designed by a registered landscape architect,and be submitted and approved by the city prior to any plant materials being installed.The three-story mini -storage building should be designed in substantial compliance with Option A.An additional elevation was requested today from the architect which would incorporate a more southwestern flavor and the architect is to discuss that elevation with the council this evening. Mayor Coleman asked if there would be a wrought iron fence between this property and the KOA. Assistant Planner Juli McDaid stated that is correct,along with increased density in landscaping. Councilmember Dietz asked if it would be 8'. Assistant Planner Jull McDaid stated it would,and there is a 3.5'elevation drop between the applicant's property and the existing KOA.It would amount to an 11'barrier. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 13 OF 35 Councilmember Dietz asked if this would be just in the storage area or also in the RV area. Assistant Planner Juli McDaid stated it would be all the way down the entire length. Councilmember Milkey asked i f it was on the property line. Assistant Planner Juli McDaid stated that is correct. Councilmember Milkey asked if there would be a block wall 10 inside the property line. on the property line. that is correct. Assistant Planner Juli McDaid stated the applicant is asking that the back of their building be considered the block wall. Councilmember Milkey asked if there would be a block wall when they get to the RV storage. Assistant Planner Juli McDaid stated that is correct. Mayor Coleman stated he had been concerned that the headlights of people pulling in for RV storage would be shining in on the KOA. Assistant Planner Juli McDaid stated there are a few sites along the Southern edge and she was concerned about this when she originally presented this.They are therefore putting a wall there. Councilmember Dietz asked if she had any contact with KOA. Assistant Planner Juli McDaid stated she and the applicant's representative attempted several times to contact them and they were unable to get anything in writing. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 14 OF 35 Councilmember Dietz commented the senior planner had stated the applicant's representative had talked to KOA and they had no problem. Senior Planner Rudy Esquivias stated that is his understanding.He then briefed the council on the new elevation given to the city today that has a southwestern style.He deferred to Ken Eller to describe i t in detail. Mayor Coleman requested the applicant address the council. Mr.Ken Eller,1533 N.Alma School Road,Mesa,the architect for the project,addressed the council.The main purpose of their request is the reduction in the landscaping easement.There will be a continuous block wall around the perimeter of the RV parking.The larger central parking zone in the RV parking area will be covered.Some lighting will be provided there for the spaces.All the lights will be contained on the site to prevent any light spillage.The ten -foot landscaping will have plants less conducive to pedestrian traffic.A landscape architect has been retained for this project.There will also be enhanced landscaping along the Old West Highway right-of-way,to meet or exceed the landscaping currently across the street.The back of the storage building will have a solid block wall,and there will be a wrought iron fence along the property line.They will be promoting commercial curb appeal with this building,and this project will be the prototype for the corporation,which intends to build similar projects in every state south of Interstate 40.He stated the council has the benefit of the colored elevation.There will be a brick wainscot at the bottom trying to reduce the scale of the building.They are taking the materials and including them both with the three story as well with the manager's residence building.On the manager's building there is a metal roof.They went to the hip -designed roof to provide a shielding or visual blocking from the roadway for what is happening in the storage area behind. The sloped roof design would provide some visual blocking rather than a flat, parapet design.The storage lot behind the gate would be shielded.The front of the three story building will have some windows,some that you can see through and some as a way of breaking up the facade.There will be balconies in the corners of the three story building that will also attempt to break up the facade.They do not want it to look like a big box.The elevation presents a flat look,but the design comes around the corner.This will give REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 15 OF 35 the building a commercial look rather than a warehouse look.The entries to both the manager's residence and office and to the storage building will be accented with tile,though the tile type has not been decided.There will be no rooftop equipment.All the equipment is ground -based and screened. Councilmember Dietz commented he liked this design more than the other ones they had been given. Mr.Bob Lemberger,partner and on- site resident manager of the facility,stated he spoke with Mike from KOA and the two concerns he had were water drainage off of his sites along the lot line and maintenance.He assured him the only water that would be there would be the 10'of water along the strip.It will be landscaped and shared should there be a deluge,with the wrought iron fence footings designed to direct heavy water flow.Mike has already built in a wash along the back of his property for those sites.As he would be the on -site manager,any maintenance concerns could be addressed to him as they appeared. Vice Mayor Surra asked if it was typical to have the manager of a storage facility reside on the site. Mr.Bob Lemberger stated i t is for extra security.I t is normal for facilities of this size. Vice Mayor Surra asked if he would be responsible for the maintenance of the landscaping. Mr.Bob Lemberger stated either he would take care of it himself or have a landscape company take care of it. Vice Mayor Surra stated he would be the responsible party for weed complaints. Mr.Bob Lemberger stated every aspect of the facility would be addressed to him. Vice Mayor Surra asked what kind of metal would be used for the roof. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 16 OF 35 Mr.Ken Eller stated it would be a powder -coat -based metal,close to the slate color on the color board.They are currently working on their color scheme.I t is more of a blue -gray color. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the agenda. Mr.Tom Schuelke,1889 S.Palo Verde,Apache Junction,commented it appears the issues of noise and light to the neighbor have been addressed.He is concerned about safety issues for the police and fire departments insofar as setback requirements to prevent crime, if they are concerned with the waiver,and if a block wall would be a better fire break should a fire occur.With a campground next door,people unfamiliar with the area might need that extra measure of safety. Ms.Nancy Koerner,1026 N. Goldfield,Apache Junction,asked how tall the building would be. three stories. 34'. a height limit on buildings in the city. the CB -2 zoning allows 35'. Vice Mayor Surra stated it would be Mr.Ken Eller stated it would be Ms.Nancy Koerner asked if there is Senior Planner Rudy Esquivias stated Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He reopened the item to council discussion.There being no further discussion,he called for a motion. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT THE APPEAL OF LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS,SECTION 6.1.5(D)4 TRANSITION/SEPARATION OF USES BY ROBERT LEMBERGER ON BEHALF OF LEAR DEVELOPMENT.CASE PZ-01-02,APPEALING THE REQUIREMENT OF A 25'SETBACK TO THE PROPERTY LINE WHEN ADJACENT USES OR ZONING IS RESIDENTIAL,BE APPROVED. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 17 OF 35 Councilmember Eck SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. Mayor Coleman called for a ten minute break. Mayor Coleman reconvened the meeting. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1151/CASE AM -01-01/ •CITY -INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE APACHE JUNCTION CITY CODE,VOLUME II,LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE,CHAPTER 6,ARTICLE 6-1 LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING REQUIREMENTS ) )Assistant Planner Juli McDaid briefed the council on the item.This is an amendment to the city code regarding the landscaping' and screening requirements for metal buildings.The proposed amendment would require 100% of the exterior walls of a metal building to be covered in supplementary building material such as masonry, stucco or brick.This would apply to metal buildings being constructed in multi -family,commercial and industrial zoning districts.Currently the code requires only one-third of the exterior to be covered in supplementary building material.Engineering,building and fire have approved the language of the amendment,and she did not receive any response from metal building manufacturers.Per a council request,she checked the city's buildings and determined that the public works buildings are completely metal and the new building at Prospector Park is 50% metal and 50%stucco.Earnhardt's will have three elevations with metal showing,but they will be treated with glass, brick and stucco;they do meet the current requirement.This proposal will provide standards for new development of higher quality. Mayor Coleman stated this would only apply to large buildings. Assistant Planner Juli McDaid stated that is correct. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 18 OF 35 Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item. Mr.Wesley DeMarce,15 N.85th Place,Mesa,addressed the council.He passed out some information to the council.He is one of the salespeople and managers for Alliance Steel Buildings.He commented Apache Junction is the only city that would require a steel building to be covered with anything other than steel.He described his products and where they are used and different architectural treatments they have used to meet homeowners association standards.He thinks the people here want the open space,but they want to be able to build a hay barn and cover their animals.He does not believe they would be able to do that with what is proposed. Mayor Coleman stated he believes they can. Mr.Wesley DeMarce commented they stipulate the colors that can be put in the city.He believes they can control the barn look and the big box look. Councilmember Eck asked what they primarily build. Mr.Wesley DeMarce stated they cater to the mobile home industry.They have built fire stations for the Town of Gilbert and the City of Mesa. Councilmember Eck commented he did not believe what they were doing would affect the mobile home industry.This is for commercial,industrial and multi -family only. Mr.Wesley DeMarce asked if multi- family is apartments. Vice Mayor Surra stated that is correct. Mr.Wesley DeMarce stated he was under the impression that multi -family involved residential subdivisions.He misinterpreted the definition. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 19 OF 35 Ms.Victoria Thatcher,3664 E. Carmel,Mesa,addressed the council.She also is a salesperson at Alliance and commented they have a lot of customers from the Apache Junction area. Businesses want to buy steel buildings as they do not have to worry about termites,fires,explosions,or the building blowing away because all their buildings meet or exceed the county code.Customers will not buy steel buildings if this makes them less cost-effective.Currently steel buildings run around $15/sq.ft.while wood buildings are $27/sq.ft.People can do many things with a steel building,and she does not think i t is fair to say 100% of the exterior walls cannot be steel.It will affect their business,and the residents could be forced to go without anything if they are not allowed steel as wood is too expensive. Mayor Coleman commented they are not talking about residential areas. Ms.Victoria Thatcher stated she is talking about industrial.They have a number of those customers who want to build a steel building as opposed to block.If the code changes,they will have to spend more money for their buildings. Mr.Tom Schuelke,1889 S.Palo Verde,Apache Junction,commented the council had indicated they want to bring employment opportunities to the area.Expensive cosmetic additions required in industrial areas may discourage businesses from locating here.These rules are not without cost to the city.He urged them to delete industrial areas from this amendment. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He reopened the item to council discussion. Councilmember Urich commented if the city will be the only one with this requirement,then the city may want to be "trailblazers"for the other cities to follow suit. Councilmember Eck commented he would have no problem with changing the current policy.The city did not get the development it thought it was going to get.He does believe they should leave some percentage of the building metal.He would compromise with two-thirds of REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 20 OF 35 the building having supplementary building material.Earnhardt's will have some metal that does look good. Councilmember Durbala agreed with Councilmember Eck.He would agree to having just the front side opposing the main street or thoroughfare being covered.He does not want to see the whole building being done,but he would be willing to go with two-thirds.The purpose of buying the building is because i t is cheaper for the individual.He is also concerned about the building materials being scarred over the years and therefore looking worse.There is nothing in the ordinance to force the business to repair the building.They are called industrial parks because they are industrial:they are working centers.They need to be able to enforce maintaining the outside of the building.He agrees that one-third is not enough,but he believes two-thirds of the building would be enough. Vice Mayor Surra commented she has always supported the non-metal building in the city.She has seen nice ones in other places but Apache Junction does not seem to get them.She would agree to a 75%non-metal building if it was stipulated that all of the front be part of that 75%.She would not like to see i t non-metal 75%all the way around.Currently 33%is hidden by landscaping or block walls.She is trying to improve the visual image of the city even in commercial industrial parks. She does not like the current building in the industrial park,and i t is at a main entrance to the city.Earnhardt's may not have 75%,but they have done nice appearances on their buildings.The city cannot be certain they will get that same attitude from every person who constructs a building in the industrial park,so they need some regulation.I t is also for multi -family apartments.She commented if there is nothing in the ordinance about maintaining the facade,than that needs to be added into the ordinance now. Mayor Coleman commented they have seen pictures before,but that is not what the city is getting out here.When the city agreed to 33%,they got a different product. Councilmember Dietz stated he could live with three-quarters or two-thirds as long as the front of the building was 100%. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 21 OF 35 Councilmember Durbala asked if he meant the front entrance to the building or the front of the building facing the street. the entrance to the building. liked that idea. Councilmember Dietz stated he meant Councilmember Durbala stated he Councilmember Eck asked what would happen if the building's back was to the freeway and two-thirds were eaten up on the -front entrance of the building which is on the south. •Councilmember Dietz stated the side where they would enter thelDuilding should be done 100%,and two-thirds of the remainder of the building needs to be done. Councilmember Durbala wanted i t clarified that they are talking about the business entrance of the building being done 100%. Councilmember Dietz stated that is correct. City Manager Curtis Shook stated there may be something on a front lot in the industrial park that does not face the freeway and has an entrance from the street.This would expose the back half to common view rather than the entrance to the building.He asked that wording be added regarding the entrance to the building or discretion be used in that situation.He believes council wants the face that is seen by the general public to be 100% covered. Vice Mayor Surra stated the entrance to the building must be 100% and the other three sides must be two-thirds covered,whether i t looks out from the freeway or not. Councilmember Durbala stated that is why he wanted it clarified.It could have been difficult to determine which side was seen more by the public.He wanted to make sure on the wording and REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 22 OF 35 suggested sending this back to staff for a week to get better language so they could all be satisfied. Vice Mayor Surra stated it could still be subjective as to which side would be seen the most.I t depends on the direction one is looking from.If they say i t is the side with the business entrance,than that would be standard. Councilmember Durbala suggested this be sent to staff for the proper wording and have it brought back at the next meeting. City Attorney Joel Stern stated there could be several entrances,such as service and public entrances.I t needs to be more definite. Councilmember Milkey stated he believes staff -was wise in deciding 100%.He commented they may be needing an algebraic formula to determine how much metal can be seen.He does not see this as productive. Councilmember Eck agreed with Councilmember Milkey,but he believes the building should have some.metal.He would like to see i t left at two-thirds. Vice Mayor Surra stated she would go with three-quarters but not with two-thirds unless they were going with 100% on the facade and two-thirds on the rest. Councilmember Eck stated he would compromise. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and called for a motion. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.1151 BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND THE READING OF THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE BE WAIVED. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 23 OF 35 Councilmember Dietz SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly read the ordinance by title only. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.1151,AS READ BY THE CITY CLERK.BE APPROVED AND ADOPTED WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS:THAT'THE MAIN ENTRANCE,WHERE THE PUBLIC WOULD BE DEALING WITH THE,COME IN,WOULD BE FULL -FRONTED AND THE REST OF THE BUILDING WOULD BE TWO-THIRDS. Vice Mayor Surra stated that is not what was said. Mayor Coleman called for a second. There being no second,he called for another motion. Councilmember Dietz MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.1151,AS READ BY THE CITY CLERK,BE APPROVED AND ADOPTED WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS:THAT INSTEAD OF 100% OF EACH EXTERIOR WALL OF METAL BUILDING BE COVERED IN MASONRY,STUCCO,BRICK.75% WOULD BE REQUIRED. City Attorney Joel Stern asked i f that was the only amendment to the ordinance. Councilmember Dietz stated that is correct. Vice Mayor Surra SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 24 OF 35 PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.00-32:DECLARING AS A PUBLIC RECORD THAT CERTAIN DOCUMENT FILED WITH THE CITY CLERK AND ENTITLED "CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION TAX CODE AMENDMENTS ON THE USE TAX":PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1140:ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THAT CERTAIN DOCUMENT FILED WITH THE CITY CLERK AND ENTITLED "CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION TAX CODE AMENDMENTS ON THE USE TAX" )City Clerk Kathleen Connelly briefed the council on the item.The city has been following the requirements of the code through the process and at times exceeding the requirements by providing additional public notice.That was done in this instance,however, the notice provided to the public had the wrong month on it.Even though the city has exceeded the public notice required,staff feels it would be in the best interest of those people inclined to speak on this to continue the item to a date certain.The city will do an additional notice in the press and on the posting board.As these are continued items,the public is allowed to speak on the item this evening. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item. Mr.Hank Hannah,3400 S.Ironwood Drive #357,Apache Junction,addressed the council.He is the past president of the Arizona Association of Manufactured Home Owners.The association is opposed to the use tax as it would hurt those who decide to buy personal property such as manufactured homes and recreational vehicles.The current tax rate saves them hundreds of dollars.There are no longer any dealers in the city because i t charges a sales tax.At the last meeting on this subject a council member had stated it would probably raise about $300,000 a year. After the decision was made,another council member stated "we don't need the money anyway".The reason behind the tax is that 36 other cities have passed the tax.The difference is that those 36 other cities had not asked for their help and your people here in Apache Junction have.He commented on the good things going on in Apache Junction.but they do not think the use tax is a good idea. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 25 OF 35 Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He opened the item to council discussion. Councilmember Eck asked where Mr. Hannah lived. Councilmember Dietz stated it was 3400 S.Ironwood. Councilmember Eck commented that is not in the city.He asked if he was representing the members of Arizona Association of Manufactured Home Owners. Mr,Hank Hannah stated he was representing the 25,000 members in the city. Councilmember Eck commented if he were to buy something it would not affect him. Mr.Hank Hannah stated that is correct. Councilmember Eck commented we are talking about Apache Junction.Everyone is saying that the use tax would be hurting Apache Junction,but all the other communities in the area,Mesa, Queen Creek,Chandler,Gilbert,have the use tax.He does not see how it could be hurting Apache Junction on the sale of mobile homes if it passes the use tax unless they want to put more mobile homes in Apache Junction than they do in other communities. Councilmember Dietz commented you cannot count the manufactured home dealers. on both sides of the road in Mesa. They, are there for a reason,and Mesa has the use tax.Everybody left here for the county island to save the sales tax,and they advertised the fact there was. no .city sales tax.We are the only community around that does not have it,and he feels they should. Vice Mayor ,Surra:commented the city is supplying the roads and police and all the good things that Mr.Hannah REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 26 OF 35 likes,and those are all supported by the taxes collected since there is no property tax.The sales tax is therefore required.The people building homes here are sharing that burden.Anyone who wants to locate here should equally share in that burden.The use tax would share the burden equally for those people who will be living here and using all of those services. Councilmember Eck commented this is still a continuation and the council will not be voting on this tonight.He is not sure he is completely for the use tax.He does not believe a person buying a refrigerator should have to pay a use tax. Councilmember Durbala stated they do not. Councilmember Eck commented if it is over $1,000 they do.And they don't sell refrigerators in Apache Junction. •There was general discussion that there are some refrigerators being sold in Apache Junction and more are coming. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT RESOLUTION NO.00-32 AND ORDINANCE NO.1140 BE CONTINUED TO JULY 17,2001. Vice Mayor Surra SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. Mayor Coleman called for a five minute break. Mayor Coleman reconvened the meeting. OLD BUSINESS UPDATE:0N STREET CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 27 OF 35 )Public Works Director Doug Dobson briefed the council on the item.The Phelps Drive deceleration lane has been completed.They removed and replaced 1,000 feet of Goldfield Road north of Old West Highway.They removed and replaced 1,320 feet of Starr Road near Superstition.They are out to bid for the flatwork on Broadway Road. Striping is scheduled to start July 8,and they will do the striping at night. Councilmember Durbala asked what kind of traffic control will eventually be put in at Ironwood and Baseline. Public Works Director Doug Dobson stated they will do another traffic count. Councilmember Durbala asked if that would be done soon. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated he will be bringing i t back in the first meeting in August.There will be a signal at Baseline and Ironwood.They are looking at eleven warrant studies and the big one he is ‘pushing is the systems warrant. •Councilmember Durbala asked for a traffic study to be put in for 16th Avenue and Winchester.He gets a lot of calls on that intersection. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated they could look at that.Based on the traffic in that area,they would be hard-pressed to need a warrant. Mayor Coleman commented he believes the problem is that there are a lot of dips in the road for the through traffic,and none for the road with the stop sign.The drivers are thinking the cars slowing down for the dips are actually stopping,when they are not. I t scares him to go through there. City Engineer Ron Grittman commented the first two sections of guardrail along Old West Highway have ben put out to bid. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 28 OF 35 Councilmember Eck asked how long the striping would take. Public Works Director Doug Dobson stated it would probably take a couple of weeks. Councilmember Dietz asked if the new striper would be used. Public Works Director Doug Dobson stated the striper is not due to be delivered until September. NEW BUSINESS ACKNOWLEGE RECEIPT AND DISCUSSION OF THE FY 2001-02 MUNICIPAL BUDGET AND SET DATES FOR ADDITIONAL WORK SESSIONS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR ADOPTION OF BUDGET .) )City Manager Curtis Shook briefed the council on the item.He commented the budget follows the council's goals and objectives,to include implementing the capital facilities plan, continuing the streets program,a major revision of the land development code, developing the economy,updating the pay and compensation plan schedules,and the storm water management plan.The budget anticipates a progressive and aggressive approach to these items,and takes a transitory approach as far as personnel,operation and maintenance.The intent is how to build the community and not how to cut back in the community.He is recommending a 2.5% across the board base wage adjustment and a continuation of the merit performance structure of 0 to 5%.Until a new compensation schedule is adopted,they will stick with the current plan.There is continued leakage in sales tax dollars but major inroads have been made on that.The main challenge is to take the projects started and make sure they end with the quality of thought originally given. Mayor Coleman opened the item to council discussion.There was general discussion as to the dates the council would be available,the number of work sessions needed,and the adoption process.Mayor Coleman called for a motion at the end of the discussion. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 29 OF 35 Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2001-2002 MUNICIPAL BUDGET AND THAT THE FOLLOWING DATES BE SET ASIDE FOR ADDITIONAL WORK SESSIONS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR TENTATIVE AND FINAL ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET:THAT THE DATE OF JULY 2 FOR DISCUSSION AND A WORK SESSION;JULY 10 FOR DISCUSSION AT A SPECIAL WORK SESSION;JULY 16 FOR THE TENTATIVE ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET.

Councilmember Eck SECONDED THE MOTION. Vice Mayor Surra commented she thought the motion included final adoption of the budget for dates. Councilmember Durbala stated he did not offer a date as that could be set up at the tentative adoption. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly commented the tentative budget adoption is in the form of a resolution.The date for final adoption is inserted in that resolution. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING CITY OF PHOENIX LANDFILL STUDY ) )City Manager Curtis Shook briefed the council on the item.The City of Phoenix has 8 sites set out for their new landfill.County Supervisor Sandie Smith has spoken to her contact about i t and city staff has had some contact with the City of Phoenix.Several REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 19,2001 PAGE 30 OF 35 concerns have been expressed to their consultant that may have been unknown to them.The landfill site is in the county,not in the city limits.It would have to go through a process with the county board of supervisors.I t is on state land and that can be a lengthy process for anything.The site's southern boundary is about seven miles south of U.S.60 with the northern tip at Ray Road.The east boundary is the CAP Canal and the west boundary is Meridian.I t is in a flood plain.The city's master plan is for the area to be low to mid -residential,and that plan was drawn together with the state planners.They were advised that it may be within the authority of the Maricopa County Flood Control District Dam Authority area.They would be under flowage easements there. Councilmember Eck commented -they have hired consultants in the past,they have been given direction yet they go out and try to find everything possible.He believes the city should be concerned,but he does not want -it blown out of proportion.The chance of their building the landfill here is very remote.He spoke with Phoenix Councilmember Cody Williams and he was not even aware of it.I t is not his intention to build the landfill here:they are considering other sites as the one out by Mobile. Councilmember Durbala commented he would like the. city to send a letter to them statingthat we vehemently oppose, any type of landfill other than the one that is already here that should be closing soon. has sent a letter already. to:send one_that:is more harshly worded.
