CALL TO THE PUBLIC
Mrs.Sandra Browning,879 W.12th Avenue,Apache Junction,addressed the
council regarding Sunrise Shadows Subdivision.She opposes the subdivision.
She requested that the city,when it is voted upon,get in writing from the
developer and owner that there will be no two story homes built on 12th Avenue
or the adjoining mobile home parks.She would also like it in writing that
the city council approved the drainage issue before the final plat is
approved,so that the residents could have recourse if there is flooding.She
is not convinced the plan will protect them.In addition,she requested the
vote be postponed as other neighbors would have attended but they did not
realize the vote was tonight.They should be allowed to voice their concerns.
She stated she was angry enough to contact the media to tell them what the
city council was doing,and complained about the city not giving enough notice
of the vote.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
None.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.98-30/UNIFORM
BUILDING CODE DECLARED A PUBLIC RECORD/
PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1056/ADOPTING 1997
UNIFORM BUILDING CODE BY REFERENCE
)Long Range Planner Kate Morris
briefed the council on this item.She commented the resolution will declare
the proposed document,the excavation and grading section of the 1997 Uniform
Building Code as amended,a public record.The ordinance will adopt the

public record by reference.The item has been discussed at previous sessions
by the council and Dennis Dixon was in attendance to answer any questions in
detail.
Councilmember Eck asked where the
7,500 square feet came from on page four,item ten.
Long Range Planner Kate Morris
stated it is an arbitrary number.It does not appear in the building code and
is a hybrid number for the city code.It arose out of concern for some of the
larger developments completely clearing and grubbing out the property prior to
building permits being issued or actual construction being started.This
allows for the individual homesite to be excavated without needing a permit.
Councilmember Eck asked how it would
affect someone with a half acre.
Long Range Planner stated i t is
dependent on parcel size.If the lot size is 5,000 square feet,they could
clear the whole thing.If the lot is 20,000 square feet,they could chose
7,500 square feet to clear before an excavation permit would be required as
long as they do not bother a drainage course.It is a physical area,not
necessarily a lot square footage.
Councilmember Eck commented if they
wanted to clear more than 7,500 square feet they would have to get a permit.
Long Range Planner Kate Morris
stated that was correct.If a drainage course or draw or any place where
there is water coming through the property is involved,it would be subject to
review and permitting.
Mayor Coleman opened the public
hearing on the resolution.There being no one wishing to speak,he closed the
public hearing on the resolution and opened it up to council discussion.
There being no further discussion,he called for a motion.
Councilmember Dietz MOVED THAT
RESOLUTION NO.98-30,A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF APACHE JUNCTION,ARIZONA,DECLARING AS A PUBLIC RECORD PURSUANT TO ARIZONA
REVISED STATUTES ANNOTATED ("A.R.S.")SECTION 9-802,A CERTAIN DOCUMENT FILED
WITH THE CITY CLERK AND ENTITLED "1997 UNIFORM BUILDING CODE,AMENDED APPENDIX

Councilmember Durbala SECONDED THE
MOTION.
VOTE:Unanimous.
The motion carried.

Mayor Coleman opened the public
hearing on the ordinance.There being no one wishing to speak,he closed the
public hearing and opened the item to council discussion.
Councilmember Durbala commented
there are two parts he would like to see come back within 90 days.He is
concerned with Section 33.09.12,the revegetation,on Page 4,and Section
33.09.14,the wildlife habitat.He would like them approved for now but he
wants them brought back with a little more detail.He does not think this
should be made in the form of a motion,but he wants staff to understand that
these should be brought back.
Councilmember Dietz asked if what
was discussed in the work session could be added at a later date along with
the sections Councilmember Durbala suggested.He would like to see the
property inspected before i t is allowed to be cleared.
Long Range Planner Kate Morris
stated that is coming to them soon.
City Manager Curtis Shook added i t
would be coming back to them in a different form.
Councilmember Durbala repeated he
would like to see the two sections he mentioned come back within a 90 day
period.
Assistant City Manager George
Hoffman asked for clarification as to whether he wanted the Uniform Building
Code to be brought back or just those two topics,which could be adopted under
another ordinance.
Councilmember Durbala stated he
wanted the current ordinance adopted,but he would like those two sections to
come back,whether they are adopted under the desert vegetation plan or as
another ordinance or something else.He wants something more detailed within
a 90 day period.He believes that time period would be sufficient.
Vice Mayor Surra stated that could
not be included in the motion,as it would be a direction to staff.
Councilmember Durbala stated he
would bring it up as a motion if staff does not understand what he is asking
for.
There was general discussion as to
whether it should be a separate motion,included in the motion for the
ordinance,or no motion being needed.It was determined that in order for the
sections to be more detailed at a later date,a second motion would be needed.
The two sections would be included tonight and brought back later.

Mayor Coleman closed the discussion
and called for a motion.
City Attorney Joel Stern questioned
whether the public hearing had been held on this item.
Mayor Coleman stated he believed it
had already been held.
Long Range Planner Kate Morris
commented if the desert preservation wildlife habitat issue becomes a separate
document,it can easily be referenced by amending the two sections so that
they cross-reference back.
Mayor Coleman reopened the public
hearing on the item at the city attorney's request.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.

OLD BUSINESS
PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.98-27/
PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR PROPOSED SUNRISE
SHADOWS-SUBDIVISION/CASE NO.SD -97-10
)Councilmember Dietz announced he
would have to abstain from this item due to his previously hearing it as a
member of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Long Range Planner Kate Morris
briefed the council on this item.The commission recommended approval of the
treliMinary plat.Council discussion brought out the community concerns of
-traffic flow,drainage and open space.The applicant then redesigned the
plat,losing 2lots'in the process,to create more open space.She commented
the applicant and his engineer were in attendance.
Mr.Dan Mattie of Beus,Gilbert &
Devitt,3200 N.Central Avenue,Phoenix,addressed the council on behalf of
the applicant.He commented the main changes concerned two lots which have
been eliminated and the Tots reconfigured to accommodate an open space .that
will have .a 12'X 12'ramadaiancka five station tot lot.The commission's
vote was 5 ,2 for approval with five conditions and those conditions are
acceptable to the applicant.He,explained .some of the lot numbers in the
conditions are affected with the loss of: the two lots and the reconfiguration.
Lots 1-4 should still be included.Lots 36-48,should be-includedas the lots
that the applicant will keep as one-story homes.He stated Bill Dykes was
there to represent .the applicant and Kevin Howell from David Evans .&
Associates,Inc: was there for any drainage issues.The'drainage'-areas have
been widened to accommodate vegetation.The total open ,space has been
increased froml3rto 16%.
Councilmember Eck asked where the
two story homes would not be allowed.
Mr.Dan Mattie showed them on the
plat that Lots 1-4 and Lots 36-48 would be one story homes.Those homes are
the ones along 12th Avenue.
a stipulation of the rezoning.
Mayor Coleman asked if that had been
City Attorney Joel Stern stated it
was a condition but the applicant could have decided not to abide by the
condition as i t is base zoning,not a planned development.
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OCTOBER 19,1998
PAGE 6 OF 15
Mayor Coleman asked how they could
make it binding.
City Attorney Joel Stern stated the
base zoning height limit is 25'for any building or house.He added if they
decided to sell it or even to build a two story home themselves,the city
would have to approve the building permit.
Long Range Planner Kate Morris
stated Resolution No.98-27 has been corrected as far as the lot numbers are
concerned.The single story requirement comes with the preliminary plat,not
with the zoning.
Councilmember Durbala asked if the
resolution was passed with these conditions,then that is what would have to
be done.
City Attorney Joel Stern stated that
is for the preliminary plat only.The zoning,which is another issue,allows
two story homes.
passed the
Councilmember Durbala stated if they
resolution,then the developer has agreed to these restrictions.
City Attorney Joel Stern stated that
would be1 true for the preliminary plat.
Councilmember Durbala commented the
developer could not then back out.
City Attorney Joel Stern stated the
developer probably could not,however,he did not want to get into the
litigation aspects at this time.
Mr.Dan Mattie stated he did not
want to get into those aspects either.
City Attorney Joel Stern commented
there are different stipulations from a zoning standpoint that could be taken
advantage of.
Long Range Planner Kate Morris
stated there are a couple of things that could be done to insure that this
happens.They would need specific,required statements on the final plat
itself,indicating that those lots are restricted to a single story only.
Those things could also be recorded within the title,or deed,tract of the
individual lots as they are sold.She added it has been done in the past.
City Attorney Joel Stern commented
once it was recorded that could be a different story,but at this stage that

is not the case.He reminded the council that a final plat would come before
them before any houses could be constructed.
Mayor Coleman commented that they
have agreed to those stipulations on the record.
City Attorney Joel Stern stated that
was correct,if it is approved.
Mr.Dan Mattie stated they have
agreed to them on record,and they would agree to stipulate to a deed
restriction or change the stipulation in any way to include that.
he provide that in writing from his firm.
City Attorney Joel Stern asked that
Mr.Dan Mattie stated he would.
Mayor Coleman asked the applicant to
explain what is being done with the drainage.
Mr.Kevin Howell of David Evans &
Associates,7878 N.16th Street,Suite 250,Phoenix,addressed the council.
He explained that City Engineer Gordon Haws and their drainage staff had gone
through the upstream drainage areas.The upstream drainage area that
contributes to this area ranges from 3 to 4 miles.Based on the analyses,
which include some of the shopping centers on Main and how they flow through
and reach the swell up by the trailer court with another one up by Broadway
Avenue.The latter is much larger.The calculated volume is 258 cfs through
the large one.The smaller one is being left in its existing state as natural
as possible,though they are adding some and extending some culverts,plus
changing the entrance to one culvert as it crosses 12th Avenue.The smaller
one runs 128 cfs for a 100 year storm.It currently runs from the trailer
court across their site and back into the trailer court,then back into their
site and into a graded intersection where it then flows into a drainage way.
After speaking with the surrounding residents,they are going to regrade the
drainage ditch on the neighbor's side which has had rock shifted and sediment
deposited.The rock will be grouted in place and depressed so that water will
not be impeded when it crosses the grade.They will provide a cross-section
of a ditch that will range between 2 and 3 feet along the area shown on the
plat.It will be behind vegetation of trees and shrubs suggested by a
neighborhood group.It will have grouted river rock in areas and dumped rock
in others with a retaining wall along the rear yards.The depth will range
from 18"to 2',depending on the location in the run.Another run will range
from 25'to 31'going north/south.It is a standard trapezoidal channel,
coming down 4 to 1,having a flat bottom and going back up at 4 to 1;it will
average an 18'depth and carry 128 cfs.He showed the locations of the
culverts being added.The water that falls on the site will find its way to
Tract B for retention.The physical overflow will be at the drainage way.

UPDATE ON CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
)Assistant to the City Manager Bob
Galloway briefed the council on this item.He described the process taken
thus far,with requests for qualifications being sent out and 8 firms
responding.After the capital facilities plan committee met,requests for
proposals were sent to four of those respondents.Three firms replied and the
committee interviewed them.He reminded council that this would not
necessarily go to the lowest bidder,but to the firm that provided the best
program features.
As no vote was necessary,Mayor
Coleman closed the item and moved on to the next item.

the council on the item.This contract would allow for the Main Street
Program to receive the funding already approved by the council and set the
standards the program must meet in order for the funds to be allocated.

)Assistant to the City Manager Bob
Galloway briefed the council on this item.He commented they had received 4
bids for services from quality engineering firms.Willdan Associates has
extensive experience in governmental engineering services and all of their
clients are government based.Stantech is also a good firm but they currently
have two private contracts before the city and there could be a possibility
for conflict of interest.The other two firms have limited governmental
experience.Staff recommended the bid be awarded to Willdan.
Mayor Coleman opened the item to
council discussion.There being no discussion,he called for a motion.
Councilmember Urich MOVED THAT THE
AGREEMENT WITH WILLDAN ASSOCIATES TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT
NOT TO EXCEED $50,000 BE APPROVED SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL BY THE CITY

COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF ON PROPOSED LEGISLATION OR ACTIONS
CONSIDERATION AND DIRECTION TO STAFF
TO SCHEDULE A COUNCIL/STAFF RETREAT
)City Manager Curtis Shook briefed
the council on this item.He commented staff has had an agressive agenda and
they have accomplished a number of things.Staff is requesting a retreat in
order to review the work programs and some of the issues that have come
forward.They will be seeking direction on two or three things that are most
important to the council.
Councilmember Eck asked if the
retreat would have to have a set agenda.
City Attorney Joel Stern stated
anything can be discussed as long as it has been agendized and is relevant to
city business.
Councilmember Eck asked if they
would have to come up with the agenda items now.
City Attorney Joel Stern stated they
did not have to now,but they might want to discuss what they would like to
see on the agenda.
Vice Mayor Surra commented this
could be a preliminary item that could go on a work session,wherein they
could use that time to discuss it and put together an agenda.
Councilmembers Urich and Dietz
agreed.
Vice Mayor Surra commented there may
be too many items and they may have to split them up into additional retreat
days.If they discuss it at the work session,they will have a better idea as
to what they should talk about first.
City Manager Curtis Shook commented
there are also questions on structure,such as whether they wanted outside
facilitators or in-house facilitators.He asked if they see this as a work
shop item,a Monday work session or a Tuesday voting session.
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OCTOBER 19,1998
PAGE 111 OF 15
Vice Mayor Surra suggested a work
session to determine what they want on the agenda,even if it was a separate
work session from the regular one.At that point they could decide whether to
use outside or in-house facilitators and for what parts of the retreat they
would be needed.
City Manager Curtis Shook stated he
would put this on the next work session for discussion.
City Attorney Joel Stern stated once
they have decided,they will need a motion to set the date.
Vice Mayor Surra added they could
then decide if they need one or two-dates.
Councilmember Durbala asked if they
would be giving direction to staff on the night following the work session as
to what they would want to discuss at the retreat.
Vice Mayor Surra commented it would
be a good time to brainstorm for what items they,wanted to see on the agenda.
Councilmember Durbala recalled that
the last couple of agendas just stated they were council retreats and they
were open to everything.
Mayor Coleman stated they had
specific items.
Councilmember Durbala asked how they
managed to discuss to a lot of different things if there were specific items
on the agenda.
City Attorney Joel Stern stated the
open meeting law requires any items up for discussion by agendized.
City Manager Curtis Shook commented
they could refer back to the language of the previous agendas and have the
information for them by Monday morning.
Councilmember Durbala recalled the
first group bringing up things that some of the council had never thought
about.
Vice Mayor Surra commented that was
because the agenda item was for them to give an in-service to the council on
planning and zoning,development services and their own perspectives.
Councilmember Durbala suggested just
listing the departments and that way everything could be talked about.
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OCTOBER 19,1998
PAGE 12 OF 15
Vice Mayor Surra stated she did not
believe they would have time to discuss all of that.That particular one was
done over the course of several days.
Councilmember Eck thought the work
session would be a good idea and they will need to prioritize their agenda.
Nothing will be accomplished unless they concentrate on particular items.
Councilmembers Insalaco and Dietz
agreed.
City Manager Curtis Shook commented
staff wants to spend its time accomplishing things in the areas set out by
council and they have been successful because council has agreed that only two
or three things can be done well.
Mayor Coleman closed the discussion
and called for a motion.
Vice Mayor Surra MOVED THAT AN
AGENDA ITEM FOR OUR WORK SESSION INCLUDE A PLANNING OF ITEMS TO BE ON AN
AGENDA FOR A COUNCIL/STAFF RETREAT.
Mayor Coleman asked if that should
also be put on the regular agenda.

commented it should be on the subsequent night.

BE ON THE SUBSEQUENT NIGHT FOR DIRECTION TO STAFF.
