PUBLIC HEARINGS PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.99-63/GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA-99-02 AND PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1108/REZONING CASE PZ-11-99 BY FERGUSON/BARNEY/PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. 99-57/PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR A 186 -LOT SINGLE-FAMILY SUBDIVISION,TOMAHAWK,CASE SD -04-99 )Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias briefed the council on the item.The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the general plan amendment and the rezoning with a vote of 4-2,and they recommended denial of the preliminary plat due to private streets and safety concerns.Council continued these items on January 4 to give the developer the opportunity to come back with a plat showing dedicated public streets.A revised preliminary plat was received last night dedicating the streets as public streets,but they are designed at something less than city standards.The city normally requires 50'of right-of-way,the applicant is showing 32'of right-of-way.Sidewalks will been provided.The minimum size lot is 7,000 sq.ft.After discussions with the developer,they decided they would still have 32'right-of-way,but they would include the 4' sidewalk that is inside the property boundaries of the lot.In order to have a 20'driveway,they will measure the setback from the back of the sidewalk, making a 24'setback from the back of the curb.To approve this,it will have to go planned development.Thus,the streets would be dedicated to the city for maintenance,and the city would be responsible for taking care of the sidewalks through an access agreement or utility agreement.It was later agreed that the property line would start at the back of the sidewalk:this gives a 40'right-of-way to the city.The lot size would now go below 7,000 sq.ft.,which can be done in a planned development.The lot configuration is REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 1,2000 PAGE 4 OF 23 the same,only the property line has changed.Staff received another set of revised plans today.The applicant now has 180 lots,the remaining lots being dedicated to recreation purposes.The concept plan shows a playground area with a basketball court doubling as a volleyball court,tot lot area,ramada and benches.Parks and Recreation states it meets the play stations required for that type of area.There are two other open space retention areas in the southwest and southeast corners,making additional play areas.The proposed draft ordinance covers the original CR-3 zoning;staff recommends that some of the conditions of approval be amended and others added if council wants to go with a planned development.The first condition should be changed to a 180 lot subdivision,that the applicant has to meet all the CR-3 standards except that the minimum lot size would be 6,745 sq.ft.,that the applicant dedicate 50'on Tomahawk Road and 50'on Baseline Avenue,that they dedicate 40'wide right-of-way interior public streets,that the open space be accepted as is, that the final plat shall meet or exceed the standards for play stations and visible open space,that there be 8'wide public utility easements inside the front yard setback,and an additional 5'utility and landscaping easement on the corner lots.In addition,they are asking that all of the narrow sides of the lots be considered the front yards.If this is approved,staff would like to get a final drawing of the plat. Councilmember Eck asked if the original setback is only 5'. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated it is a 5'minimum on the side yards;one side can be 5',the other side must be 10'. Councilmember Eck stated a house could have 5'on its right side,and the next house on that side could also have only 5'on its left side,putting only 10'between the houses. stated they could. had brought another plan today. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 1,2000 PAGE 5 OF 23 Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias Councilmember Urich asked if they Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated they got their engineering comments today and they addressed some of the comments.The revised plan shows very little change from this:only one street detail was changed. Associate Planner Paul Michaud stated they had removed the traffic calming devices. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated the obstructions in the right-of-way were removed. Councilmember Durbala asked how much open space there is. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated the guidelines call for 10% open space:in this development there is 5%. Associate Planner Paul Michaud stated 50% of that is usable open space. Councilmember Durbala asked if this meets all the open space requirements in effect for final approval for open space. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated it has the amount insofar as the Parks and Recreation standards open space requirements for a homeowners association maintained area.It may not meet the letter of the law or the planned development standards,but it does meet the homeowners association standards. Councilmember Durbala asked what the amount of open space is so that it may be entered in. Associate Planner Paul Michaud stated there is about two acres of open space,with one acre being usable. Typically in a planned development of this size,there would be four acres of open space with only one acre usable.They are meeting all the requirements except for it being a total of 10% of open space. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 1,2000 PAGE 6 OF 23 Mayor Coleman requested the applicant address the council. Mr.Clyde Barney,230 S.Ranchos Ligante,Gilbert,addressed the council.He feels they meet the requirements of the city,that it will add to the area,and he urged to council to approve the request. Councilmember Insalaco asked if Trend Homes would be constructing the homes in this development. Mr.Clyde Barney stated they would. Councilmember Eck asked if they would stay consistent with the 5'and 10'side yard setbacks so that there would be at least a 10'gap between the homes. Mr.Clyde Barney stated there could be 10'or there could be 20'.They are recommending 5'on the street side yards. Mr.Reed Porter,Gilbert,AZ, representing Trend Homes,stated the maximum width of the homes is 40';the lot is 64'wide,so there will be more than a minimum of 5'.Typically,i t will be 10'and 10'on each side,possibly 10'and 15'on the smaller homes. Councilmember Eck asked if he thought there would be any 10'gaps between homes. Mr.Reed Porter stated he did not believe there would be any 5'and 5'setbacks together.The homeowners tend to want more space between their homes. Councilmember Eck commented he was concerned about the fire department for when there is a fire. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 1,2000 PAGE 7 OF 23 Mr.Tom Schulke,1889 S.Palo Verde, Apache Junction,addressed the council.He would like to see a right turn lane at the southwest corner of this development,which is Baseline and Tomahawk.This intersection could have a little more traffic than normal due to its close proximity to the freeway.If they approve this the way it is, and it later proves to be a high volume intersection,it would be too late to change it.He urged that a wall not be built up to the corner. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing on the item and reopened the item to council discussion. Councilmember Urich asked if they could legally still have only a 5'setback on the left. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated the zoning would allow a minimum side yard setback of 5'.Past experience in other subdivisions showed they very rarely went to 5',but they could. Vice Mayor Surra asked if it would be possible to calculate a percentage that can be placed into the stipulations that says that a building cannot occupy more than a certain percentage of the actual square footage of the lots. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated the CR-3 zones allows for a maximum 40% lot coverage. Councilmember Eck suggested adding a setback condition since they are going planned development. Vice Mayor Surra stated that would not give the flexibility for the different sizes of homes.She suggested they change the minimum for the side setbacks.She asked if the widest home was 40'. Mr.Reed Porter stated that was correct. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 1,2000 PAGE 8 OF 23 Vice Mayor Surra commented that on a 64'wide lot,they could stipulate to a certain setback without interfering with the home designs. Councilmember Dietz suggested a 10' setback on each side. Mr.Reed Porter suggested stipulating that no 5'side yards could be placed side by side. Vice Mayor Surra stated they could say they would have to have a 10'minimum on each side.I t still would not disturb their design pattern. Mr.Reed Porter stated that was correct. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated they are normally required to have a 15'side yard street side on a corner lot but the interior could be 5'.They would need to ask that there be a minimum of a 10'side yard for the interior.Corner lots are usually wider. Vice Mayor Surra stated she assumed the corner lots were larger. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated the corner lot is about 4 feet wider,so it should fit. dedication on Baseline would be. stated they are dedicating 50 . Councilmember Eck asked what the Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias Councilmember Eck asked if that would be a single lane of traffic to the stop sign. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated it will be two lanes each way plus a center turn lane. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 1,2000 PAGE 9 OF 23 Councilmember Eck asked if there was a right turn lane. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated i t is not a deceleration lane.The city engineer had told him the city does not require deceleration lanes which require extra right-of-way for a residential project.It would only be required for a high intensity,high traffic generating commercial project. City Engineer Paul Stears stated that was correct.He commented the city is requiring a 50'right-of-way on the section line road,which will give the city enough room for a dedicated left turn lane and two thru lanes.This only uses 37'.If a deceleration lane is needed later,they would still have room to add it later. Councilmember Eck commented the left turn lane would be going into the landfill,plus there would be two additional lanes. City Engineer Paul Stears stated that is correct.It will have the dedicated left turn lane when Baseline is built up to its ultimate width. Councilmember Eck asked if the right turn lane would be at the city's cost. City Engineer Paul Stears stated it would and it would be years down the road. Vice Mayor Surra commended staff for bringing the information back to council within this very short time frame. Councilmember Dietz asked if the fire district had determined if the fire hydrants were adequate. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated the fire district had commented on the original street design and the number of fire hydrants that would be needed and those items were addressed on REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 1,2000 PAGE 10 OF 23 the revisions.He added this is a general plan amendment so it will require a 5-2 vote to be approved.

City Clerk Kathleen Connelly asked if the advertisement for this contained the possibility of a planned development. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated it did not. City Attorney Joel Stern commented he believed they could go forward under the circumstances.The general public was given notice that there could be a change in the zoning,and the council can change the zoning to a planned development. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.1108,AS READ BY THE CITY CLERK,BE APPROVED AND ADOPTED WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS:IN NUMBER 8,WHERE IT SAYS "AS DETERMINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL",I'D LIKE TO HAVE THAT STRICKEN AND JUST PUT "5% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT";AND THEN ON NUMBER 9,WHERE IT SAYS "TO BE DETERMINED BY THE CITY'S PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT",HAVE THAT STRICKEN AND PUT "2 ACRES";AND ADD STIPULATION NUMBER 12. Vice Mayor Surra interrupted with a question whether the usable play space was to be only one acre;two acres is the total open space.

MOTION. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly asked Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias Vice Mayor Surra SECONDED THE Assistant City Manager George Hoffman asked for a break to confer with the city attorney.

Assistant City Manager George Hoffman commented he would be meeting with the city manager,the city clerk and himself. There was general discussion as to whether a recess could be taken with a motion on the floor. Vice Mayor Surra asked if there was a reason why staff could not have this discussion with the council. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 1,2000 PAGE 13 OF 23 City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated she was concerned that this was not advertised as a possibility of a planned development.When this has happened in the past,it was sent back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Vice Mayor Surra commented it was advertised for CR-3,and council has further stipulated that it be a CR-3/PD. She does not see a problem. City Attorney Joel Stern stated he believed they could go ahead,unless they are violating a city policy.He asked what the policy is when something is advertised one way,but i t is being voted on another way. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated he was unsure on the policy.He commented the city is actually being more restrictive with a planned development than what had been advertised.Council has added on restrictions frequently during a vote than what has been previously advertised. Vice Mayor Surra asked if she would like the council to list as one of the stipulations that this be by planned development. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated her main concern is that i t is a different zoning than what had been originally advertised. Vice Mayor Surra stated it was a residential CR-3,but council is requesting it to be developed in a planned development format rather than straight zoning.She does not see the difference as they are getting the same thing;they are actually getting open space which they could not get before. Councilmember Durbala commented it states planned development in the title that she read. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 1,2000 PAGE 14 OF 23 City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated the way this hearing was advertised,it did not reference a planned development.The legal advertising did not reference that zoning. City Attorney Joel Stern, Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen and Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias left the council chambers for a short discussion lasting one minute. City Attorney Joel Stern stated there is nothing in the rules that require this to be sent back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a different zoning.Under state law,the city has the right to rezone it to a different zoning if they want to.I t had been advertised for a zoning change,if they want to zone it differently they can do it,and he would say they are free to go ahead tonight and consider this zoning.
