AWARDS,PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Coleman read a proclamation designating May 17-23 as "National Public Works Week"and gave the proclamation to the city manager on behalf of the public works department.

CALL TO THE PUBLIC Ms Celia Bachman,201 E.Southern,Apache Junction,addressed the council. She stated she was proud to have served with Midge Conway on the planning and zoning commission and complimented her on the work she did on behalf of the community.She added she is dismayed that some of council and the staff have created an atmosphere where people like Midge can no longer contribute.She commented she has witnessed mocking comments and mannerisms by staff and Councilmember Durbala during Midge's remarks about her neighborhood,not wanting to live in a city of walled communities and the lack of code enforcement.Ms Bachman stated she believes the voices of moneyed outsiders speak more loudly than the volunteers on the boards.She added the people who live there want to build their future.She challenged the council to discuss in public what was discussed in private,and requested the public be allowed to attend these meetings.She asked the council to divulge any phone calls they have outside the public,and why Councilmember Durbala can predict the outcome of votes before the vote occurs.She queried how much discussion takes place in executive session under the guise of legal concerns,and i f there were really legal concerns involved.She commented i t is rare to have council discussion at the public meetings.She added she is weary of behind REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 7,1998 PAGE 2 OF 16 the scenes manipulation,the lack of communication between the council and the planning and zoning commission,misleading staff presentations,the superior attitude of the council and their reliability on the city manager and the development services director for information.After stating the city manager lives in Gilbert,she commented she believed all key managers and planners should be required to live in the city.She queried who really ran the city, as the public meetings and work sessions of the council do not include much in the way of strategic planning,discussion and direction to staff,and wondered if it occurred in private.She called for clear and open leadership,public meetings,public disclosure,leaders who will listen to citizens,an atmosphere where citizens can provide input without fear of criticism or retaliation,and an atmosphere of respect for the citizens.As she believes she can no longer trust or assist the staff and most of the council,she tendered her resignation from the planning and zoning commission. Mrs.Midge Conway,902 S.Ocotillo Drive,Apache Junction,addressed the council to compliment them on being one of the first to put in development fees for police and fire and the first to put in development fees for schools. She then commented she has advocated controlled quality growth since she has lived here.According to an article in the Arizona Republic today,the state is talking about putting managed growth on the ballot,with a survey showing 69% of the people are for it.She then announced that Jean Perkins'husband had died Saturday and requested a note of sympathy. Mr.John Pein,6326 E.20th Avenue,Apache Junction,thanked the council, especially the mayor,for stopping the move to keep horses in backyards only. He also asked them to think about Article 15,which contains numerous items he considers arbitrary and unreasonable.This is to protect residential property from noise,direct illumination,unsightliness,odor,smoke and other objectional influences.It also appears to remove any general rural zoning, which will prevent 4-H kids from having any animals.As ambiguous as the definitions are,"objectional"people,trucks,motor vehicles,and recreational vehicles over 10,000 lbs.could be illegal.Though they are trying to keep horses out of zoning,Article 15-10 puts horses back in with the comment stating "Equine Regulations.Many comments question the open- ended allowance of the number of horses."The article also states one cannot have an air conditioner or swamp cooler on the roof,but you can have a satellite dish.To him it makes no sense.He has been told it was staff driven and does not believe it has come from council.This should be discussed among the community before something like this gets out.He added this article allows for commercial boarding stables under conditional use permits,but i t is very difficult to get financing with a two year permit. Criteria has to be established and followed.The special interest groups should have some input during the process instead of at the end.This would do away with any problems. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 7,1998 PAGE 3 OF 16 City Manager Curtis Shook reminded everyone of the second Town Hall on Saturday,April 18.It will be at the John Calvin Church,east of Idaho on Southern Avenue.This will help develop a capital facilities plan for city buildings,playfields,community centers,pools and other recreational types of activities to be built over the next 5 to 10 years.They hope to get a broad expanse of people with as many attending as can.

Mr.Joseph Sereno of the Chevron Foodmart addressed the council.He stated the corporation insures they abide by all policies and maintain strict adherence to all laws governing alcoholic beverage sales.They go through an extensive training program with all new hires at all locations before going out to assist the public.Corporate security does security reviews to help them maintain compliance.The managers are all required to attend the Arizona Department of Liquor training,basic and managerial.The Chevron Foodmarts have never been cited by liquor control statewide to date.He commented they took over the site on March 2 from Herb Jordan and he will continue to operate the service station section.

Mr.Joseph Sereno stated they intend to maintain that landscaping and improve on it with some flowers.

RECONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO.1027/ SUPERSTITION FALLS MANUFACTURED HOME PARK ) )City Manager Curtis Shook briefed the council on the item.He summarized the planning and zoning commission and council actions on the item.He then stated the city attorney could explain i t further if needed as he had drafted the ordinance. City Attorney Joel Stern commented he did not draft the ordinance.He stated there are some language ambiguities in paragraphs five and six in the current ordinance.The question with REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 7,1998 PAGE 6 OF 16 paragraph five is whether stucco and tile homes would be permitted on the property and paragraph six relates to the color scheme.Council should determine the language in the paragraphs.He suggested that if council's wishes get complicated,he would like to take some time after the public meeting to take their comments and adjust the language,or a councilmember can make a motion that is fairly straight forward.If he is to do the language, he would like a ten minute recess at that time. Mayor Coleman asked the applicant to address the council. Mr.Ralph Pew,10 W.Main Street, Mesa,addressed the council.He urged the council to reconsider the ordinance and amend it to accurately reflect what was intended on February 17,which is approval of the Superstition Falls zoning case and a deletion of the requirement for the homes to have an exterior finish of stucco and tile.He recommended deleting the first sentence of condition five and clarifying condition six to read that the applicant will provide multiple color schemes within the park to the exterior finish of the homes to prevent a monotonous appearance of color and design.He stated he would assist Mr.Stern in the language if necessary. Mayor Coleman asked if he still believed the warranty would be voided if they put the stucco and tile on at the site. Mr.Ralph Pew commented he has not learned any facts that have changed his mind.The homes are built at the factory,if the stucco and tile is put on afterwards at the site,it would void the warranty.If they were put on at the manufacturer's facility,i t probably would not violate that warranty. City Attorney Joel Stern asked what warranty they are talking about. Mr.Ralph Pew answered it is the warranty from the manufacturer that warrants the unit from typical hazards, wear and tear and faulty manufacturing.Their concern is that with this exterior being changed after delivery,the manufacturer may not warranty it any longer as they did not apply that finish.He added there were many other reasons why they thought it would be a bad idea to require stucco and tile. Mayor Coleman commented he likes the look of permanency at Meridian Manor.He is not sure the stucco and tile is a bad idea.He understands the concern about the cost and that it should possibly be considered,but he would prefer the stucco and tile. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 7,1998 PAGE 7 OF 16 Mr.Ralph Pew stated this is an issue of preference and appearance.They believe their proposal is compatible with the industry,what consumers want today and what is already in the area. He again encouraged them to delete the stucco and tile. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item.There being no one wishing to speak,he closed the public hearing and called for any further discussion by council. Councilmember Urich stated she drove around in Apache Junction and Mesa trying to figure out what she wanted to see at the project location.She feels she cannot require residents having to pay $10,000 more in order to have stucco and tile exteriors.She is concerned about that.She is in favor of the project,but she is not in favor of the stucco and tile exterior. Councilmember McClain agreed with Councilmember Urich.She stated if people want the choice,they can go to Meridian Manor.However,she believes they like the vinyl exteriors.She went through some of the vinyl finish homes and commented they are beautiful units. Councilmember Eck asked if Meridian Manor is a rental. General consensus was that you have to purchase the home and lot. Councilmember Eck commented he thought that was the difference.He added if someone wanted to relocate their home and they have stucco and tile,they are virtually eliminated from relocating that home.He likes stucco and tile,but in this situation the vinyl siding is preferred. Councilmember Insalaco stated he believed that the upkeep on the vinyl siding would be easier,as it just washes off.It seems to last for years. Councilmember Durbala asked if he could ask some questions of Mr.Pew. City Attorney Joel Stern advised the mayor that the public hearing would have to be reopened. Mayor Coleman reopened the public hearing. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 7,1998 PAGE 8 OF 16 Councilmember Durbala asked Mr.Pew if he recalled saying there would be money set aside to repair any of the units,possibly by setting aside some of the rental money. Mr.Ralph Pew stated he did not remember saying that,but if the record states that,he will correct himself. What he believed he indicated is that the park owner has a lot of experience in these parks and they prepare themselves for units coming into disarray. They have the funding capacity to take care of those problems.They do not have a reserve fund taken from the rent. Councilmember Durbala commented he was not sure what it was,he just recalled there was some type of fund available to fix any problems.He wanted to make sure there was some type of policy to make sure these units would be repaired. Mr.Ralph Pew stated there will be a lease agreement between the unit owner and the park owner that will require maintenance of the units and their appearance to be maintained correctly.I f not,there are certain rights vested in the park owner to deal with that tenant.Also,if the unit owner makes exterior changes to the unit,there will be some arrangements wherein they would either be evicted or they would have to make some kind of financial arrangement to fix the unit and bring it back into compliance. Councilmember Eck recalled there was some type of fund that if a unit was run down ten years from now there would be some way for the park to protect itself. Councilmember McClain stated i t would be a ten day notice. Mr.Ralph Pew stated it would be analagous to a self insurance program.The park would have the funds to either evict the person and unit or repair and collect back from that party. He is not familiar with any fund being collected to repair the homes. Councilmember McClain restated it would be a ten day notice that would be given to the tenant. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing and reopened the item to council discussion. Councilmember Durbala commented the reasons he brought this back have already been said by other councilmembers. His main reason was his concern for these units being relocated if they had the stucco and tile finish.It would be very costly and create a lot of damage to the home.He believes they should have vinyl and asphalt.He REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 7,1998 PAGE 9 OF 16 stated if the majority of the council agrees,they should take a ten minute recess and ask the city attorney to form the language for the ordinance amendment. There was general discussion on whether a ten minute recess should be taken or have one of them make a motion. Mayor Coleman called for a ten minute recess. Mayor Coleman reconvened the meeting.He asked for any further discussion from the council.There being no further discussion,he called for a motion. Councilmember Urich MOVED THAT, AFTER RECONSIDERATION,THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS BE MADE TO ORDINANCE NO.1027: SECTION 1,ITEM 5,THE FIRST SENTENCE BE STRICKEN,AND THE SECOND SENTENCE READS "ALL ACCESSORY STRUCTURES,ADDITIONS,AWNINGS AND CARPORTS SHALL COMPLIMENT THE EXTERIOR FEATURED ON THE MAIN UNIT";ITEM 6,LINE THREE,STRIKE THE WORDS "AT LEAST LISTED WITH". City Attorney Joel Stern stated he had some more adjustments to the ordinance.He stated it could be used as part of the motion or instead of,and continued with PARAGRAPH 5,STRIKE THE FIRST SENTENCE;SECOND SENTENCE "ALL ACCESSORY STRUCTURES,ADDITIONS,AWNING AND CARPORTS SHALL BE OF SIMILAR CONSTRUCTION AS THE MAIN UNIT AND SHALL COMPLIMENT THE EXTERIOR AS FEATURED ON THE MAIN UNIT";AND PARAGRAPH 6 WILL BE CHANGED TO THE FOLLOWING:THE OWNER OF SUPERSTITION FALLS MANUFACTURED HOME PARK WILL ENSURE THAT DIVERSITY IN THE APPEARANCE OF THE MANUFACTURED HOMES WILL EXIST BY OFFERING A VARIETY OF SIDING AND TRIM COLOR PACKAGES FOR THE MANUFACTURED HOME UNITS;AND WILL REGULATE THE LOCATION OF SUCH COLORS SO THAT A MONOTONOUS OR UNIFORM COLOR SCHEME DOES NOT EXIST THROUGHOUT THE PARK. Councilmember Urich stated she so moved. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly requested the city attorney to repeat the portion for paragraph 6. City Attorney Joel Stern reread the motion on paragraph 6. Councilember Urich stated she so moved as to his corrections. Councilmember McClain SECONDED THE MOTION. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 7,1998 PAGE 10 OF 16 Councilmember Durbala questioned whether they would have to add the word "vinyl"into any part of the motion or if the owners could go either way,using stucco or vinyl. could do what they wanted. put vinyl and asphalt in the motion,then asphalt.He commented the motion allows or stucco and tile.He wants to have it the vinyl and asphalt in the motion. accept that amendment. does not want this brought back again,so to get the vinyl and asphalt into the mot motion and second on the floor. suggested they start all over.

Councilmember Durbala SECONDED THE MOTION. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 7,1998 PAGE 11 OF 16 Mayor Coleman stated when she said the second sentence,she should have meant the second line. Councilmember Urich restated paragraph 5.THE MANUFACTURED HOME UNITS PLACED IN THE PARK SHALL HAVE AN EXTERIOR VINYL FINISH AND ASPHALT ROOF TREATMENT.ALL ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, ADDITIONS,AWNINGS AND CARPORTS SHALL BE OF SIMILAR CONSTRUCTION AS THE MAIN UNIT AND SHALL COMPLIMENT THE EXTERIOR AS FEATURED ON THE MAIN UNIT.
