Councilmember Urich SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. AWARDS,PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Coleman presented a 5 -year pin to City Manager Curtis Shook. City Manager Curtis Shook commented Mr.Michael Williams was running late due to a car accident.He asked that his item be moved to later on the agenda pending his arrival. Assistant to the City Manager Michael Munroe briefed the council on the public transit feasibility study for the city.The program began when former Assistant to the City Manager Robert Galloway sought a grant for the study, which was successfully attained.The grant funding allowed the city to retain the services of Dr.Mary Kihl of Arizona State University for the study.A citizens'advisory committee was also formed to assist in formulating the study.Dr.Kihl was here to present the results. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 2 OF 38 Dr.Mary Kihl of Arizona State University gave a presentation on the City of Apache Junction Transportation Study.The plan was to provide alternatives to automobile travel in the city.The city is expanding in both directions. Three percent of the current residents do not have an automobile,and 56% of multi -driver households only have one car available.A household mail -out survey was conducted to determine the mobility needs of the city,using 1,000 households picked at random;303 were returned.The survey represented the population fairly well.They also did clipboard surveys at the junior college,the middle school,the senior center and Golden Vista RV Resort.I t was determined that a lot of trips are taken in the city,with patterns differing according to age groups.The most popular are trips to the grocery store,work trips,visiting friends,other shopping,banking and restaurants. These trips are frequently more than 3 times per week.The elderly residents also frequent the doctor's office or have other health care needs.Ninety-one percent of the respondents travel outside of Apache Junction at least once a month,with 38% of the year round residents traveling outside of the city daily.Only 1%of the winter visitors travel outside Apache Junction daily. She commented on the percentages of trips taken for various reasons. Alternative transportation includes carpooling.She commented on the travel patterns for the middle school children;those that had parents that could take them around in an automobile participated in other activities more than those that did not have that capability.Walking and biking are possible alternatives,but with limited sidewalks,safety becomes a concern.There is a strong interest in public transit as an alternative,with 87%of the survey respondents,65%of the college respondents,68% of the senior clipboard respondents,60%of the RV visitors,and 95% of the middle school respondents indicating they were interested in some type of public transit.No particular type was advocated.They would like something that would be available on a regular,frequent basis.Routing would be of interest to the seniors;most people do not want to walk more than .25 of a mile.Safety is a concern at the station stops.Weekend service was of broad interest,and the college students would like evening service.Wheelchair access was required by 14%of the respondents.There was some interest for Dial -a -Ride;some would be willing to pay a supplement to have it provided.She commented a well- designed public transit system would be helpful to the residents of the city. Winter residents would provide additional fares.Additional stores and entertainment in the city would cut down on outside trips,such as a movie theater.Medical facilities need to be enhanced.It was found that 40% of the students surveyed at the college come from Mesa and need transportation to REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 3 OF 38 and from the school.She summarized that the transit option needs to respond to the needs and the residents of the city;there is a regional travel pattern;there is a significant number of users for a system,but the system must operate on frequent schedules and connect all parts of the city to key destinations. Mayor Coleman suggested having a discussion at a work session on how to proceed with this information.City Manager Curtis Shook concurred. Mr.Michael Williams presented a legislative wrap-up on the 44th legislative session.He commented they monitored all the bills that were of interest to the city.House Bill 2511,introduced by the city,which would allow municipalities to collect school development fees,was finally defeated on the floor of the house.An unfriendly amendment had been added.He believes i t was defeated because of the homebuilders association and the pro -education groups.The latter was worried about the disparity that might be created between high -growth districts and low -growth districts.A study committee is being formed on development fees to find a solution for the low -growth districts.This would all be placed in one piece of legislation next year. There will be a bill introduced by the homebuilders to prevent municipalities from collecting school development fees should they lose their suit.Senate Bill 1126,municipal incorporation,was defeated with the assistance of the city.It was killed in the senate by over 20 votes.This is the result of the battle between Tucson and Casas Adobe.House Bill 2554,the lobbyist gift ban,has language in it that will be affecting local political subdivisions and requires the registering of anyone that wants to talk to a councilmember. They will be trying to take that part of the bill out in the next session. The senate would like a gift ban passed;the house is less willing to do it. The counties and cities were included in this bill;the city will be attempting to remove itself from the bill next year. Mayor Coleman asked if someone would have to register as a lobbyist if they wanted to call him and talk to him about any neighborhood issue. Mr.Michael Williams stated that is what was originally written.Softer language has since been put in,but i t is not what the League considers the best language.There are still some limitations;such as a bonding attorney talking to the council about action before the council would be considered a lobbyist.I t is not constituents,but people working for the city. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 4 OF 38 Mayor Coleman commented they would be consultants to the city. Mr.Michael Williams stated that is correct.They are working to take that language out. Mayor Coleman asked whom they would register with. Mr.Michael Williams stated he thought they would have to register with the city.This was all done in the last hour of the session.He will be meeting with the League to see what changes have to be made.They have included a copy of this in their packet,and he will get a fact sheet to Mr.Stern if the council wishes. Mayor Coleman commented he wanted to make sure the city would be in compliance with the law. Mr.Michael Williams stated it does not go into effect for another month.He has included most of the bills that were introduced in the packet.He finished by stating they enjoyed working with the city,he thought they worked fairly well with the League,and he thought the city was very effective, especially on the incorporation issue.He was told that the bill might have gone into effect if it had not been for Apache Junction's opposition.The city does have some good support,and they look forward to getting something through on the school development fees.The bill may be easier to pass with some of the action being taken by some of the other cities in the state. Glendale or Peoria has recently passed a fee that is 3 times higher than what is currently in the bill. Mayor Coleman commented he believed that was Peoria. Councilmember Eck commented he found i t interesting that they had a problem with the low impact areas regarding the school development fees.If they have a low impact,then the problem is with the school funding.The development fees are of concern to those in high impact areas. Mr.Michael Williams agreed.The fee is being collected to offset the growth in the district.Some legislators do not want to pass something if they cannot take something home to their district.However,they were able to convince a number of people that were absolutely against school impact fees, REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 5 OF 38 such as Jim Weiers.The legislators need to be educated.They used the argument that while a house bought earlier does not cost as much,there was also more room in the schools.Now a house will cost a little more to help build the schools which will offset the overcrowding caused by the additional housing.This argument worked on a number of legislators.The bill went farther than i t ever had before on the floor,and they now know what they need to do to get i t passed.They were also able to prevent the homebuilders from introducing any legislation that would preempt any court decision. Mayor Coleman asked if he thought they were waiting to see what would happen in the courts. Mr.Michael Williams stated there were some who commented they wanted to wait to see what the courts did,but it was not the overwhelming factor.They need to find something that will benefit all the districts.There is a concern that if the high impact districts are fixed,the legislators may not come back and fix the low impact districts later.They will be working on any government relations issues with the congressional delegations or federal agencies that they can assist the city with through the remainder of the summer and the fall. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Ms.Stephanie Franklin-Martos filled out a form but declined to speak in favor of Claire Lansing. Mrs.Claire Lansing,305 N.Plaza Drive,Saguaro Family Fitness Center,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding the sales tax laws on fitness centers.They have owned the business for nine years and only recently were told they should be paying sales tax on services for fitness amenities.They are defined as amusement and entertainment by the city,but that has been changed by the state,where they do not have to pay tax.They have been paying for all of their licenses and permits,and they donate and contribute a lot to the community.They do not make a profit at the center and subsist on their own resources.She disagrees that they are for amusement and entertainment,feeling they are a type of medical center.They have a nurse practitioner and a nutritionist that work out of their building.She requested clarification on their definition,and questioned if they should be defined differently. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 6 OF 38 Mrs.Rayna Palmer,6735 Hohokam Way,executive director of Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce/Main Street Progam,addressed the council to give a status report on the Chamber activities.The Visitors Center has had 18,758 visitors from 1999 to date.This does not include local residents coming in for information.They participate in the Southwest Welcome Wagon program.They average 50,000 calls for information resulting in 4,500 requests for packets. They received 20,000 maps paid for by local businesses;they have been given out to local businesses,real estate companies,the library,and city staff. They are currently doing a second printing of the map.They printed 5,000 copies of a brochure promoting the things that can be done in Apache Junction in September 1999 and they are now on a second printing.They purchased a small ad in the Southwest Airlines magazine at Christmas time.They now have a web site and it gets 700 hits per week;i t includes city information,film commission information and tourism information.I t is being made more business -friendly for the local businesses.Staff attended the Outdoor Symposium in Tucson and handed out the brochure to tour operators.The Learning Channel had a program where the Superstition Mountains were featured. Holiday Traveler Magazine sent out a photographer and a writer to do an editorial piece on Apache Junction and the area.They stayed in the city while working on the piece.The New Yorker Magazine will be coming out next. These editorial pieces generally draw more people than regular advertising. Channel 3 was out in June with Brad Perry;they spent the entire day out here. The Toronto Star was out in February to do a feature presentation on the Superstition Mountains and the OK Corral.They are now doing S.C.O.R.E. volunteers at the Chamber for local businesses,shop local presentations to manufactured home parks,they have received two grants recently,they have given four scholarships,and they received their legislative report card. Mr.Lyle Harlan,482 N.Apache Trail,Apache Trail,addressed the council.He was there to speak on the Main Street Program.He is the incoming president. They have reinstated the economic restructuring committee under the direction of Tony Vehon.The Focused Future Committee will be a part of and give input to the current committee.The program received the Governor's Rural Economic Development Main Street Award for Best Promotional Pieces,receiving a $500 grant.Events this past year included their traditional Christmas activities, Hello Apache Junction in November,the Poets Gathering in October,and the Cinco de Mayo event.The latter will become an annual event.They are responsible for making these events pay for themselves as well as bring some money into the program.Shelly will be working to put the events into REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 7 OF 38 contention for major sponsorship dollars.The Economic Restructuring Committee will be an active member of the redevelopment districts and the single central business district,and .they have been supporters of the capital facilities plan.They are determining the feasibility of locating working artists in the downtown area.The winter market is right,but costs,location and availability are the major issues.Staff expanded and completed in- business inventory.They have worked with the design committee for the Apache Trail corridor study.The design dictionary was completed,and they would like their committee to become part of the design review process. Architectural assistance was provided for Saguaro Fitness Center,Desert Liquor,American Legion and Optima Chiropractic.They have offered to be a part of the façade loan program offering design assistance and design review. The statewide Arizona Main Street Program Annual Report lists all the communities currently enrolled and i t includes the re -investment figures for each program. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail,Apache Junction,Greater Apache Junction Association for Effective Government,addressed the council.He was happy to see that a transit study had finally been completed,though he thought the grant money spent would have better served the city if it had been put towards the transit system.He urged the council to listen to the so-called activists and the people who signed his referendum petition against the capital facilities plan.He thought the study showed a very good sampling,though i t was spread out.Those people who were concerned with safety issues for transportation he believes are afraid of their own shadows.He does not see any safety issues regarding transit.He also urged the city to let the referendum on the capital facilities plan go to a vote,as he does not believe i t has the support the council thinks i t has.The money can then be put towards a transportation system. Mr.Tom Schuelke,1889 S.Palo Verde,Apache Junction,addressed the council. He was concerned that the market days issue was brought up just after the seasonal residents had left.He requested the council to defer action until their return.He was also surprised to .hear the city is expending resources on the collection of school development fees:Students First and new school construction state funding have made that issue moot.He has made that ,case to the local school board and .indicated they need to drastically reduce the development fees.The district is double-dipping.He believes i t is improper for any government to employ .a lobbyist.Council and staff are free to REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 8 OF 38 contact an elected official,but they cannot say they are representing the city as a group.He does not believe i t is proper to spend public funds for lobbying.He urged them to reconsider their lobbying efforts.He commented that the tax code for fitness centers is looking at a lifestyle versus a medical necessity.An individual who works out at a health club instead of using the city streets is making an upscale luxury decision;that person should be taxed.Those that are doing it out of medical necessity should not be taxed,which he does not believe the city does at this time.He suggested clarifying the code to state that medical necessity items would not be taxed. He added the city could check with Medicare and insurance companies to see what items would be considered medical necessities. Mr.Don R.Dials,2400 E.Baseline #294,Apache Junction,filled out a form but elected not to speak. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Curtis Shook commented the first FY 2000-2001 budget workshop hearing was held last night.The next hearing is scheduled for July 11.He stated Mr.Michael Williams had clarified that the lobbyist registration bill that was passed does not require registration until January 2001.He believes the council was wise in hiring this consultant,as he has been getting positive feedback from the League,public information officers and lobbyists from other cities and towns. Mayor Coleman called for a ten minute break. Mayor Coleman reconvened the meeting. PUBLIC HEARINGS PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1132/PZ-03-00, REZONING REQUEST BY GOLDFIELD -FREEWAY LTD. PARTNERSHIP FOR 4 LOTS AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF US 60 AND S.GOLDFIELD ROAD FROM GR TO C3 AND C3/PD )Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias briefed the council on the item.This would rezone the property from general rural to general commercial for a commercial shopping center and retail and REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 9 OF 38 service area.Currently they have a gas station/convenience mart as one end user,proposing to go in on Parcel 19A.Council was provided with a preliminary site plan.Planning and Zoning recommended approval of the C3 rezoning,but based on concerns from surrounding property owners they are recommending that Parcel 32A be rezoned to a planned development.Council had discussed rezoning the entire parcel to C3/PD at the work session in order to control the uses on the property.He had discussed the types of uses with the developer;the ordinance now has a conditional order of approval spelling out the recommended conditions of approval recommended by staff and the commission.If the council wishes to rezone the entire parcel to C3/PD,then council needs to add the stipulation regarding the types of uses allowed.He then listed the uses that would be allowed.It would exclude RV storage,auto and transmission repairs and a car wash.However,the applicant would like to keep the car wash use in so that it can be an accessory to a gas station or convenience store.The applicant provided a list that they would voluntarily exclude.If the council wants to rezone this to a planned development,then every time something new is proposed,it would have to go back through the public hearing process for final planned development approval. Mayor Coleman asked if the suggested list of uses already takes into account the list provided by the developer. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated that is correct.The only uses that would be allowed are contained on the sheet entitled "Suggested List of Uses for C3/PD".The list the applicant gave us was already on that list to be excluded. Mayor Coleman requested the applicant address the council. Mr.Tim Rasnake of Archicon,3707 N. 7th Street,Phoenix,the architectural firm handling the development, addressed the council on behalf of the developer.He commented his client has agreed to the limited uses and what he can put on the parcel. Councilmember Eck asked if they knew what convenience store would be developed there. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 10 OF 38 Mr.Tim Rasnake stated that was unknown at this time. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, Apache Junction,Greater Apache Junction Association for Effective Government, addressed the council.He commented there is a Mobil at Idaho,a Union 76 at Tomahawk,and now they want to put in another convenience gas station at Goldfield.He is concerned about the lights beaming up into the sky.He does not like it.Apartment complexes are turned down all over the city,but gas stations approved,especially those with bright lights.There are condominiums on the south side of the freeway,he would prefer to see apartments here.He asked if gas and convenience marts are the only things that can be done off the highway. Mayor Coleman asked if he was asking the council or the owner that question. Mr.Elliott Fisher stated either one.He asked if this had been brought up to the applicant or if any other use had been proposed.I t seems like a big leap to go from general rural to commercial at all of these corners.I t is a lot of gas stations. Mr.Tom Schuelke,1889 S.Palo Verde,Apache Junction,addressed the council.He asked what the vehicular access would be for the western vehicles. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated 28th Avenue is proposed to be developed.The applicant will have to develop the roadway. Mr.Tom Schuelke commented he wanted to make sure the applicant was paying for the improvements. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He reopened the item to council discussion. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 11 OF 38 Councilmember Eck commented he has never turned down an apartment complex in the city,and he does not think anybody wants to see a bunch of convenience stores.I t is a matter of supply and demand.As the population grows,supplies and fuel are needed.He can recall having to drive 4 miles to go to a convenience store in Gilbert in the past.Two of the convenience stores in the city are the leading stores for their chain in the entire valley,so there is a demand here. Vice Mayor Surra asked if they wanted to delete the car wash from those uses excluded in order to have a car wash with a gas station,and the gas station does not come to fruition,is there a way this could be worded to prevent having just a car wash with no gas station or convenience mart. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated where i t says "convenience store"they could add "with car wash accessory use".That way it would be tied to a convenience store and could not be out there by itself. Mayor Coleman asked if he meant "car wash accessory use only". Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated that was correct. Vice Mayor Surra stated she did not want it with a convenience store but with a gas station or service station. She commented i t should be an accessory use to a service station not to a convenience store.There are all kinds of convenience stores that might decide to locate there without a gas station.She would not want to see the car wash there then. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated in the ordinance,under stipulation one,phase one of the plan regarding the convenience mart/petroleum sales states that the car wash may be accessory use.This way i t is tied to lot number one to that convenience store and that gas station.They would then take it out of the additional stipulations. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 12 OF 38 Councilmember Insalaco commented he wanted to be sure it would be on lot number one only. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated that was correct. Vice Mayor Surra commented she would like it on a separate line so i t is not on the same line as convenience mart. The car wash should be an accessory to the petroleum sales only. City Attorney Joel Stern suggested using the language that it be attached to a facility that sells petroleum products. Vice Mayor Surra stated whatever was the best way to word i t so that it would be clear that i t is not the convenience store that is tied to it. Councilmember Eck asked what water utility area this property is in. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias believed it was in the water district area. Councilmember Eck asked if the district would be able to get water there okay. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated he was not sure. Councilmember Eck commented the lines go down Southern,but he is not sure how far the lines are away from this. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated the lines are as far as the new mobile home park.It was determined the water lines were very close. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 13 OF 38 Councilmember Eck asked how far the sewer was from the property. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated he did not believe the sewer was that far yet. Councilmember Eck asked if the businesses would be going on the sewer district. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated he did not know.That would have to be worked out with the sewer district and public works. Councilmember Eck stated he would only approve this if they were going on the sewer district. City Attorney Joel Stern stated i f the property is not located within 200'of the sewer district lines they do not have to hook up.They can voluntarily pay for an extension of the line to the property if they do not want to get permission from Arizona Department of Environmental Quality for a septic system. Councilmember Eck asked the developer if they knew what they were doing for utilities. Mr.Tim Rasnake stated he did not know as they were concentrating more on this portion of it.He has not had any discussions with public works and does not know what is available. Mr.Skip Graham,P.O.Box 18422, Fountain Hills,the owner of the property,addressed the council.He has talked to them and his intent is to have both sewer and water.He will have to have the water and the sewer district has told him to wait because i t is coming and getting very close.If they have a motel and things like that so they have to have a sewer.He will continue working hard with those districts to get those utilities expediently.If the cost is hundreds of thousands to bring them in,then the project would not be feasible. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 14 OF 38 Councilmember Eck asked if he would have a problem if another condition was added for there to be an adequate connection with the sewer district and the local potable water company. Mr.Skip Graham stated there would be no problem with the water,but there might be a problem with the sewer people.They are questioning easements.His intent is to do that,be he would not want his project on hold for sewer purposes.The convenience store would be limited to a bathroom only for its sewer needs.He is concerned about the economics:if it is reasonable,he will do it.They have indicated to him to be patient because the point is coming where they will have to service the whole area. Councilmember Eck was concerned that they might be thinking that his project would be the one bringing i t on for the area. Mr.Skip Graham stated it would not be fair for him to service the whole area from a sewer standpoint.He wants to be on the sewer,but the problem is the dollar amount to do it. Vice Mayor Surra asked if the sewer district gave him any time frame. Mr.Skip Graham stated they told him to wait until they got the lines in on a larger project nearby and then i t becomes a fraction of the cost once it gets to the eastern side of that property.These conversations took place six months ago,so i t should be getting closer and closer to his property. Councilmember Eck asked if they could legally add anything to the ordinance specifying that the council definitely wants this project on the sewer. City Attorney Joel Stern stated he would not recommend i t at this time. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 15 OF 38 Vice Mayor Surra asked if they could do i t for the other properties since they are not being developed yet and they would be under a planned development. City Attorney Joel Stern stated he would have to research that.He is not positive they could demand that they hook up to a sewer system where their argument could be that i t is not feasible at this time.It could be a taking issue if they are required to expend hundreds of thousands of dollars to connect to a sewer system.The Four Peaks Mobile Home Park is being built right now,and that is the property Mr.Graham is referring to. Councilmember Eck asked how far east the end of the property is from this parcel. Mr.Tim Rasnake stated i t is .25 of a mile. Councilmember Eck commented he would like to see that area go on the sewer. City Attorney Joel Stern commented they could continue the item and give him some time to look at the issue. Councilmember Eck asked if they would they have any more say on the septic or sewer system if they passed the rezoning. City Attorney Joel Stern stated this would be the final opportunity they would have on that issue.They could continue this to the next meeting to give him time to research the issue. Councilmember Eck stated he is aware the developers do not like continuances as time is money.He would like to know how far the line is and the feasibility factor. City Attorney Joel Stern stated the applicant does not know who the end user will be so another month should not REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 16 OF 38 matter.He suggested asking if a continuance would be detrimental to his cause. Mr.Skip Graham stated the only defined use they have is the convenience store.They have a lot of interest so they would like to see that moved along. City Attorney Joel Stern asked i f another month delay would cause any problems. Mr.Skip Graham stated he did not know if they would locate somewhere else.They could go across the freeway. A month could make a difference as there are pads available at this interchange.He could lose potential buyers. Mayor Coleman asked if they could pass it with the stipulation and then have them come back if it becomes a problem. City Manager Curtis Shook commented state law is clear on costs.If the cost of extending the line is two times the cost of the septic than i t is automatic under the 208 plan. City Attorney Joel Stern stated they could include the stipulation but it may not be enforceable.However,he would like more time to address the issue.If it was passed tonight with the stipulation and they had a problem with it,they could come back for an amendment to eliminate the stipulation. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen suggested that i f i t is not feasible at this time,they should dry sewer the site so it can be easily hooked up to when the sewer is available.The septic would then be a temporary solution. There was general discussion about the dry sewer solution. Councilmember Eck asked i f it would be an extravagant expense. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 17 OF 38 Mr.Skip Graham stated it would not. He believes they would want to do that. Vice Mayor Surra asked how that would be worded. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated it could be worded that "part of the improvements of the initial phase will include dry sewer of the site if sewer is not available or cannot be feasibly extended to the site".They are required to improve half of 28th Avenue and the property to the north when they develop that.Part of the improvements to 28th Avenue will be putting a sewer line in place. Councilmember Eck asked if that was certain. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated he believed that would be part of the normal improvements to the street. Councilmember Eck commented he wanted to be certain.The street could be done and the sewer improvements not included.It might be put in three years later.He asked if it could be included in that. City Attorney Joel Stern stated he would need additional time to give a definite answer on this. Councilmember Insalaco commented he was not comfortable voting on this without all the information. Councilmember Eck commented he should have picked up the meeting information earlier so that he could have had all of his questions answered before now.He does like the dry sewer idea.He does not see how they can ask for more than that as the law is specific. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 18 OF 38 City Attorney Joel Stern stated there is some discretion built into the law:it could be impractical.He would have to check. Councilmember Eck commented if it was practical he would do it. City Attorney Joel Stern stated i t is up to the individual to prove that i t is impractical financially.It may be based on numerous things,and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality may see it differently. Councilmember Eck commented he would hate to continue the item. Councilmember Urich stated it might be better to continue this item until they have all the information. Mayor Coleman stated he thought all they needed was to put in the stipulation about the dry sewer and connections being laid so that i t could be connected at a later date. Councilmember Dietz agreed. Vice Mayor Surra commented they should have a stipulation that states that once the sewer comes within the acceptable distance then the city should expect hook up.The preparation for that pending hook up should be part of the development of Phase I.She believes that would cover it.She thinks there is good faith on the developer and she does not want to hold him up a month and be unable to tie down his end user. Councilmember Eck commented he did not think any business would want to go in on a septic rather than a sewer system.It would be in their best interest to be on the sewer system. City Attorney Joel Stern stated i f they have a motion that says if at such time sewer is available,or is within REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 19 OF 38 200'of the property,than the property owner shall hook into the sewer.That would probably be enforceable. Councilmember Eck asked if they could also add the dry tap portion. City Attorney Joel Stern stated they could. Vice Mayor Surra commented they do need to add that the car wash be permitted only as an accessory use to a petroleum sales service station. City Attorney Joel Stern stated that condition is probably enforceable.He believes he has seen that type of condition on some annexation cases. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated i t could say the developer shall provide extension to the sewer system;however,if found to be infeasible for whatever reference or Arizona Department of Environmental Quality,said developer shall provide dry sewer line on site and agree to connect when the sewer is within 200'.

REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 21 OF 38 PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.00-19/SD-98-03/ FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT AND FINAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL FOR ARIZONA GOLDFIELD SUBDIVISION BY KAUFMAN & BROAD ) )Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias briefed the council on the item.The final plat is almost precisely like the preliminary plat for a 296 -unit cluster home development of single family homes.The homes range in size from 1,000 sq.ft.to 2,500 sq.ft.and are of single and double stories.The elevations were presented at the last meeting. The developer has agreed to exclude the more plain -looking models.This development will have private internal streets with parking on one side of the street only.There will be common areas with a large central common area containing a neighborhood swimming pool.There are also other recreational amenities exceeding the minimum number normally requested.It will be a new type of project for the city.The developer was there to answer any questions on any of the issues.The developer has complied with the conditions of approval.The improvement plans and the model homes have all been approved. Councilmember Dietz asked if the road angles had been changed to accommodate the fire district. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated the fire district has reviewed the final plans and everything is to their satisfaction.The non -access easements have been included inside all of the hammerheads to provide fire crew access in emergency situations. Mayor Coleman requested the applicant address the council. Mr.Brad Hare of Kaufman and Broad, 432 N.44th Street,Phoenix,addressed the council for any questions. Vice Mayor Surra asked if the information regarding the maintenance of the private streets by the homeowners was standard information that they already have.She also asked at what point that information would be given to prospective buyers. Mr.Brad Hare stated they record the CC&R's and give the potential buyers a copy to review.They also prepare REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 22 OF 38 disclosure statements that clearly state the ins and outs of the subdivision, including the information on the private roads,the homeowners association and the fee schedule.They are given to potential buyers,and they must initial each page when they get into a deal with them.This way there is no confusion when they come back. Councilmember Dietz commented he recalled when he had to initial all his pages.There are so many of them that the potential homebuyer does not read all of them. Mr.Brad Hare stated he should because things can get hidden in there. Councilmember Dietz commented he wanted to make sure the homeowners would be aware that they would be responsible for the roads. Mr.Brad Hare stated most of their subdivisions are private roads these days.They are pretty good at notifying them of the responsibility. Mayor Coleman stated this reminds him of a town home concept,except the homes are separated instead of adjoined.The hammerheads look more like driveways to the house.He likes the project. Councilmember Dietz agreed.They have a neighborhood area and feel to them. Mr.Brad Hare stated i t has taken a while to get to this point but they are very excited about getting started. Councilmember Eck asked how they would guarantee that the roads would be okay,that there would not be any potholes in ten years or so. Mr.Brad Hare stated the homeowners association will maintain that.They enter into a legal agreement with the homeowners.They subsidize the homeowners associations to kick i t off so REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 23 OF 38 there is no down time until at least 75% of the homes are sold.They put in $10,000 to $40,000 to start the associations so they are fully funded immediately.The fees go into a bank account every month so they are always ahead of the game. Councilmember Eck asked i f it was a gated community.He was concerned that the police department and fire district would not have to punch a code to gain entry. Mr.Brad Hare stated i t is not. Councilmember Urich asked if the homeowners take over when 75% of the homes have been sold. Mr.Brad Hare stated that is correct.They then become one of the homeowners with 25%of the homes left to them.They start to answer to the homeowners at that point. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, stated it was too dense and there were too many giveaways.He added homeowners associations are becoming very unpopular. Vice Mayor Surra commented that i t would be denser to have apartments there than cluster homes. Mr.Tom Schuelke,1889 S.Palo Verde,commented that the .5 square mile from Tomahawk to Goldfield from the freeway to Baseline will be residential.He is concerned that the area across from the residential on Baseline has been designated for big box commercial. Lately big box commercial businesses have been objected to by residents already there.He suggested future residents be advised of what may be going in there. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He reopened the item to council discussion. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 24 OF 38 Councilmember Eck asked if they were looking at the Goldfield highway area as a major commercial center. City Manager Curtis Shook stated there is land in between there.This parcel was originally zoned for trailer homes.This was annexed 3-5 years ago and it was negotiated zoning. Councilmember Eck asked if there were commercial plans for that area. City Manager Curtis Shook stated there is about 120 acres approximately a half mile south of there. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and called for a motion.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1118/PZ-99-16,CITY INITIATED REZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 38 ACRES OWNED BY MCMILLAN MANUFACTURED HOME DEVELOPMENT,LC. )Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen briefed the council on the item.This was originally zoned as residential.The site was annexed into the city in 1995 with trailer homesite zoning.On December 1,1999,an application was received to zone the land as a senior manufactured home park.On December 2,1999,the new general plan went into effect and staff decided there might be a better use for this property.The current general plan shows the area as an employment/retail site.He explained the growing smarter goals accomplished with this rezoning. There is a market here for a major grocery store,and possibly a mini- department store or a Wal-Mart very shortly.There could possibly be a Home Depot -type use,too.Revenue projections showed that if this is developed as a manufactured home park there would be one-time revenues of approximately $190,000.If this is developed as a Wal-Mart it would bring in roughly $35,000,000 in sales per year,equating to $700,000 per year in sales tax revenues.Some residents bordering the property on the west raised some concerns about the loss of views of the Superstition Mountains.There are buffering regulations that would apply to this site.The planning and zoning commission recommended approval of the case. Councilmember Eck asked how many people in the adjacent areas were against this rezoning. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated he heard from one person who was adjacent to the property and he is not sure how many voiced their opinion at the planning and zoning commission meeting,but he seemed to recall only one speaking out there. Councilmember Eck asked if the city is west of that parcel. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 27 OF 38 Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated i t is actually Pinal County. Mayor Coleman requested the applicant address the council. Mr.Sean Lake,10 W.Main Street, Mesa,addressed the council.He had nothing to add and was there to answer any questions. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing as there were no questions for the applicant. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, Apache Junction,addressed the council.He thought it was curious that the city would initiate a zoning change.He was concerned about putting a "super center"at this end of town and changing the whole scheme of things regarding retail areas.He is also concerned about all the development of this nature at this end of the city with no plans for diversity in housing.Everything has been single family homes other than one rental housing.He mentioned a crime -free rental housing using tax credits that received a low score at the last meeting. that the council approved that item. not a low score. 41%. been raised from that. Mayor Coleman asked if he recalled Councilmember Eck commented it was Mr.Elliott Fisher commented it was Councilmember Eck commented i t had Mr.Elliott Fisher stated it was his understanding that they received a low score and the applicant seemed to agree with him that night_He asked who would be doing the work if they have all of REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 28 OF 38 this redevelopment and there is no transportation into Apache Junction;who would be doing the low cost labor. Mayor Coleman requested he keep his comments on the particular item. Mr.Elliott Fisher stated i t is all related.This is a retail development.These are things that have to be considered. Councilmember Eck asked Mr.Fisher what he believed would be the ideal thing for this location. Mr.Elliott Fisher stated he could see town homes or apartments,luxury or lower end housing in the area.There should be more diversity.There are only military -style subdivisions. Mayor Coleman asked why he spoke against the cluster home concept. Mr.Elliott Fisher stated it was because single family homes are higher dollar.There are no other options other than over $100,000. against higher dollar housing in the city. against it,he is for diversity. Mayor Coleman asked if he were Mr.Elliott Fisher stated he is not Mayor Coleman asked him if he thought higher dollar housing would not provide more diversity in the community. Mr.Elliott Fisher stated there were 3,500 single family permits issued last year and no apartment permits.There was one town home development which was upscale. Councilmember Dietz suggested he discuss this with the property owners. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 29 OF 38 Mr.Elliott Fisher stated they are talking about zoning.He wanted to know who was guiding the future and what their direction was.He believes i t is short-sighted if all they are going to do is single family developments. Mayor Coleman stated that is not what this is supposed to be. Mr.Elliott Fisher agreed,but they are talking about retail.I t is all interrelated.The council does not seem to understand that. Councilmember Dietz commented that this would generate funds for the city. Mr.Elliott Fisher commented even i f this is as feasible as they hope,he would like to know where they will get the low cost labor. Mr.Tom Schuelke,1889 S.Palo Verde,Apache Junction,addressed the council.He commented there were no signs posted that he could see regarding this proposed zoning change.He was concerned that the owner did not agree with the rezoning and had no defense. Property rights are fundamental to our society.City -initiated rezonings over an owner's objections should seldom be used and then only under extreme circumstances.He believes this rezoning should be terminated,stating his reasons.He claimed the city views the rezoning as the best expected tax benefit to the city,instead of what is beneficial to the owner.He concluded that all vacant property in the city should be developed commercially.I t is population growth that drives commercial development.Providing new residents a place to live does as much to promote local tax revenue as providing a place for them to shop. Mayor Coleman asked him to summarize. Mr.Tom Schuelke stated he did not believe he had used five minutes as he had timed i t at home. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 30 OF 38 Mayor Coleman commented his timekeeper had informed him that he needed to summarize. Mr.Tom Schuelke stated he had four paragraphs left.He is over halfway through his speech. Mayor Coleman asked him if he were now summarizing. Mr.Tom Schuelke stated he had a couple of other points he would like to raise and it would be faster to let him read his remarks.He continued with city officials not understanding the concept of population growth bringing in commercial.He was concerned that the intersection for this project would jeopardize the flow of traffic in the area.He does not believe a high volume retail center should be located there.He commented the city should try to rezone 40 acres at Tomahawk and Baseline instead.He commented if seasonal residents cause financial problems than they should change the way the city generates revenue. Mayor Coleman thanked Mr.Schuelke. Mr.Tom Schuelke stated he had one more paragraph.He started to continue his speech. Sergeant Woody Haywood advised Mr. Schuelke he was done and motioned him to sit down. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He reopened the item to council discussion. Councilmember Eck commented he thinks this project will create more diversity.People have been complaining about putting in all residential,and now the city is putting in some commercial.The property owner did not come forward to complain;he seems to be happy with what is happening. Vice Mayor Surra agreed that the goal of the general plan was to bring balance to the community,and that is REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 31 OF 38 what is happening with this parcel.The cooperation of the owner of the parcel was a pleasant experience.Verbose commentary does not necessarily have to alter the way the council thinks about what is before them.It only consumes time.She would like to see bigger restrictions or a timer used in the future. Councilmember Eck commented he could see where someone living in the area would like to see 1.25 acre lots with mobiles or homes on them.He enjoys the fact that most of it is still desert. However,time changes things.He commented on the changes in his neighborhood. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and called for a motion.

Councilmember Eck commented he wanted to be sure there would be employee involvement in this project,and that i t not be just management.He wants the work force involved;they should be listened to and solutions should come out of it. Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated he sees this as a fundamental discussion in the beginning. They need to determine what is important to employees.This will be a formal process to elicit those values from the management team,from line workers and everyone in between.They will be discussed numerous times,made into a policy and then be used to train employees to those values.He gave as an example customer service,that it means different things to different people, and how employees are to cope with an angry customer. Councilmember Eck commented he is concerned that the employees get something out of it,that they not leave feeling i t is a waste of time. Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated that will not happen.The Employee Advisory Team is getting together and functional,real decisions are coming out of that group. Councilmember Eck asked who would be taking the information and coming up with the program. Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated that will be a part of the process todetermine the values. Councilmember Eck asked Who would go over the initial values and what would be the next step from there. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 20,2000 PAGE 33 OF 38 Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated Sue will get together with the consultant and the management team,and perhaps the Employee Advisory Team. Councilmember Eck commented if the latter people are to be involved they should be given some responsibility. City Manager Curtis Shook stated i f they are spending this amount of money,then they should be dedicated to making sure the purpose is carried out.They intend to work with the entire organization to develop some acceptable and defined definitions on what their values are. Councilmember Eck commented it definitely needs to be out of the realm of Sue doing this:We were looking for someone .who had actually taught courses when we were hiring for:that position.He asked if this is different from that. Assistant, City Manager George Hoffman stated Michael Wade will be working with us.He has done sexual harassment traininTin the past and has had a very good response from employees.He will be the point person working with,the six employee groups. This is not a situation where management has :determined what was wanted beforehand;there will be :employee participation. Councilmember Eck commented he has been to other projects where employees put in a kit of hours but when it came back to management,they changed everything.He wants to be sure that the employees will be involved and heeded. Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated they are looking for independent employees who exercise independent judgment who do not have to have a supervisor standing over their shoulder.To be effective,their values must go along with those of the organization. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and called for a motion.
