CALL TO THE PUBLIC Mrs.Mary Warga,2905 W.Foothill St.,addressed the council to thank the Planning and Zoning Commission for rejecting the application of Allied Waste pending the findings of an independent consultant.She urged council approval of the consultant request. Mr.Scott Warga,2905 W.Foothill St.,addressed the council to reiterate what his wife had stated.He then gave a brief history on the landfill and some of the complaints against it.He urged for an open meeting between the council, commission,staff and the public regarding the future of the landfill. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT None. PUBLIC HEARINGS PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1001/PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.97-21/DELAWARE AND SOUTHERN PARTNERSHIP )Long Range Planner Kate Morris briefed the council on this item.This item was continued at the July 15 meeting,and since that time they have had two additional revisions to the site plan.She discussed the original preliminary plat shown to the Planning and Zoning Commission,the first revision shown to council on July 15,the next revision given to them since the council meeting with suggestions by staff,and then the final revision taking into account comments from engineering concerning drainage as it flows from Renaissance Point.The Planning and Zoning Commission,on the original plat,had recommended standard streetside setbacks,the reorganization of the open space to a larger tot lot- centered area more or less in the middle of the development,a minimum lot area of 5500 sq.ft.and a minimum lot width of 50'.The final revision before REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 3 OF 27 the council shows a centered park area and no lots smaller than those recommended by the commission. Development Services Director Larry Harmer stated there is a typographical error in Resolution No.97-21.In the draft stipulation number two,the front setbacks,should be 18'instead of 10'. Mayor Coleman stated that was on page two of three and should be noted in the motion.There being no questions of Kate,he asked the applicant to address the council. Mr.Jason Morris,3200 North Central,Phoenix,addressed the council.He gave a brief overview of the zoning constraints they have dealt with on this site.He added the small parcel being zoned for commercial use will allow for the city to expand the area for medical support or medical office use.He stated the site is in conformance with the general plan and the development patterns.They have increased the open space that is not within the retention area.The homes will have tile roofs,bay windows,vaulted ceilings,enclosed two car garages, covered patios,tiled entries and stucco exterior.The community will have a homeowners association to maintain each home and the open space.The perimeter landscaping includes a walking trail system leading to the centralized open space.He stated this development will provide housing opportunities for young families,retirement couples and housing to grow for the city. Councilmember McClain stated at the July 15 meeting he was asked to bring back the original plat seen by the Planning and Zoning Commission and make the adjustments to meet the standards requested by the commission,and that is not what she is seeing. Mr.Jason Morris stated it was agreed at that meeting that due to the stipulations place upon them by the commission that this was the plan they would submit.They met with staff since the last council meeting and discussed what they should be coming back with today.Those stipulations placed on them at the commission level dictated what could be brought back today.The original plan did not have any centralized open space,so changes in the street and lot layout were required. Councilmember McClain stated the commission recommended some lots be lost from the original plan to allow for more open space;there is now the open space where it was recommended but no lots have been lost.There was an interesting flow to it and some larger lots which are now gone.They wanted to see fewer lots so that what was left could be expanded.The other subdivision the commission saw that night they required to have a 55'width,she thought they were being generous with this development when they only required a 50'width.They did not want to see the REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 4 OF 27 larger lots eliminated,but that appears to be what has happened.It now has straight streets with no flow to it. Mr.Jason Morris stated there has been a total redesign since that stage,but it was based upon the stipulations put upon them by the commission.They lost 3 lots since the original plan. Councilmember McClain stated they have lost one lot.She added this plan is so different she does not think they should do anything with it as it has not gone back to the commission.It was originally supposed to go back to the commission until he stated he would bring in the original plan and try to accomplish what the commission had recommended.She stated what they said has not been accomplished. Mr.Jason Morris stated they spoke with some of the commission members at the last council meeting with the council recommending sending it back to the commission.It was brought back a second time that night for two reasons:it was indicated the developer may not come back before the commission or council at all with this plan:and after speaking to at least one commissioner during the break it was learned they were not interested in seeing this plan again,they were merely making the council aware that the plan they reviewed had some changes in it and was a significantly different streetscape. Councilmember McClain stated the commission members are here and she is sure they would like to speak. Mayor Coleman stated they can hear from them during the public hearing.There were no further questions of the applicant and he opened the public hearing on the item. Mr.Galad Elflandsson,524 W.22nd Avenue,a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission,addressed the council. He stated this is the first time he has seen this plan and in many respects he agrees with Councilmember McClain.It now has the central area but has eliminated a lot of the larger -sized lots,making it very straight with the lots looking much the same.It is not what they had in mind.He believes the commission was looking for something a little more imaginative and instead they got "a letter of the law"as far as the general recommendations were concerned. Mayor Coleman stated it might be "a letter of the law" but their recommendations were fairly specific. Mr.Galad Elflandsson stated that was true,but they were speaking in the spirit of the planned development, which is what is at issue now.It would be easy to meet their stated requirements,but they did not want the larger lots changed as this is what REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 5 OF 27 made the development interesting.They did not want those lots sacrificed to make the open space in the center of the development and have the lot sizes the same throughout the development. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no further comment from the public.He reopened the discussion for the council. Councilmember Urich asked how many editions of the plat there had been. Long Range Planner Kate Morris stated this is probably the eighth preliminary plat they have seen as staff. The first plat originally had 112-115 lots,which was before anything was even scheduled. Councilmember Eck asked if they had fulfilled the requirements that the commission had asked for insofar as footage. Long Range Planner Kate Morris stated this revision meets the square footage and minimum lot width recommendations. Councilmember Durbala stated on the previous council mobile home developments were complaining that the council was trying to keep a certain class of people out of the community by making the lots bigger.He believes this will create the same opinion by requiring these larger lots.He prefers not to keep those people out of the community. He added in regards to smaller lots,they required Meridian Manor,a manufactured home subdivision,to maintain a minimum of 5500 sq.ft for each lot.He just wanted to comment on the smaller lots continually coming up. Vice Mayor Surra stated it appears the problem is not with the developers bringing changes in plans to the council,but that we send out mixed messages about what we want.She would be confused to draw a plan of what the city wants,as it has never been said twice in a row the same,especially with this project.It is tough to meet inarticulated requests,and until we get things that are a little more specific,she feels they have really tried to work with staff to give us what both the commission and the council have requested.She cannot see going back to the drawing board another time. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and called for a motion.

VOTE:6-1 (Councilmember McClain voted in opposition.) The motion carried. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.986/PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.97-26/STEFFEY/LAWTHER MCRAE )Development Services Director Larry Harmer briefed the council on this item.He stated this site has gone through more developers and builders than the last has gone through site plans,and i t happened again last week.The new developer,Stardust Development,has approached staff and would like to do the package from scratch.They wish to go back through the Planning and Zoning Commission for review.They plan to have the commission review their plan in September and be before council in October.As they will have to readvertise this plan,i t is not provident to continue this and be date specific. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item.There being no one wishing to speak,he closed the ipublic hearing and reopened the item to discussion by the council.There being no additional discussion,he called for a motion. Councilmember Urich MOVED THAT PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.986,PZ-4-96,REZONING REQUEST BY STEFFEY/LAWTHER/MCRAE FOR A PROPOSED 45 -ACRE SUBDIVISION TO BE NAMED "IRONWOOD ESTATES"BE CONTINUED TO THE REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 2,1997. Vice Mayor Surra stated she wanted to amend that and MOVED TO LEAVE OUT THE DATE AND ASK THAT IT GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AGAIN AND THEN GET A DATE LATER. Councilmember McClain SECONDED THE MOTION. Councilmember Urich stated she accepted the amendment. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 8 OF 27 City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated if the councilmember who made the motion is in agreement with the motion,a separate vote is not needed. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. Vice Mayor Surra asked whether the resolution had to be continued if the ordinance had already been continued. She was told they did not have to do the resolution. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1003/PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.97-27/QUAIL HOLLOW SUBDIVISION )Long Range Planner Kate Morris briefed the council on this item.She stated this is a request for a zoning change on the 5 acre property and approval of a preliminary plat.It is located on South Idaho north of 16th Avenue,with the main cul-de-sac being along the 14th Avenue alignment.The current zoning is for 20,000 sq.ft. lots,the requested zoning is for a hard zoning of 11,000 sq.ft.minimum lot size.It is for a 14 lot subdivision with lot sizes ranging from a little over 11,000 sq.ft.to just over 14,000 sq.ft.There were some safety concerns on the original plan as the 14th Avenue alignment does not line up on the centerline across Idaho.They have changed it to a curving road and reconfigured the lot sizes there,with the largest lots being just under 14,000 sq.ft.There has been some concern over whether this development will be walled in to begin with.The applicant stated it will not be walled in to begin with;they are proposing the front,decorative monument -type features with landscaping and a privacy fence only along Idaho and the back of the retention area for the first two lots fronting on Idaho.The remainder of the lots will be left for the individual owners to fence as they see fit.Another concern was the property is over 200'from a sewer main,therefore it could not be required to be hooked up to the sewer district.The applicant is working with the Department of Environmental Quality for approval for individual septic tanks on this site.That approval is not complete at this point.However,upon speaking with them last week there were no indications that they had an overwhelming concern.It will have to be finalized between preliminary and final plat.They have received two protest petitions on this development;one was valid.The property owner does not own enough property to constitute 20% of the ownership in the area and therefore does not affect the votes required for passage.The second petition was received after the deadline and is invalid as such.The combined percentages of the two petitions would not have met the 20% requirement.The applicant is aware the council may want to put the plat back through the commission due to the alignment of 14th Avenue being changed,but they would like the zoning considered. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 9 OF 27 Councilmember Durbala asked how small a certain lot was. Long Range Planner Kate Morris stated the lots are reduced on the cul-de-sac and enlarged on the frontage lots. Councilmember Durbala asked how much larger the entrance lot will be. Long Range Planner Kate Morris stated the lots are larger square footage -wise through the rectangular areas and the arced lots in the cul-de-sac are slightly smaller.They are all larger than the 11,000 sq.ft.minimum. Councilmember Durbala stated this was just for the realignment of the street. Long Range Planner Kate Morris stated that was correct.It was directed at safety concerns,wherein cars making left turns across the street from each other could run into each other. This change realigns 14th Avenue directly across from each other as in any intersection. engineer if he has any problems with it. he had no problem with it. his recommendation. it was. Councilmember Durbala asked the city City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated Mayor Coleman asked if this had been City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated Councilmember Eck asked if they had a copy of the corner section for the area to see how the other lots size up. Long Range Planner Kate Morris stated she does not have it on the overhead but she could walk them through it on the aerial. Councilmember Eck stated he was curious as to the size of the lots north of the development. Long Range Planner Kate Morris stated the lots north are about an acre in size,the lot south is close to 2 REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 10 OF 27 acres in size,and the cul-de-sac area has lots close to 3/4 of an acre.This comes out to be approximately 1/4 of an acre. Ms Carol Chamberlain,2145 E. Quince,Mesa,who represented the applicants,addressed the council.She stated they have formed a homeowners association,they are going to have minimum house sizes of 1250 sq.ft.for single level and 1800 sq.ft.for multi- level homes.They will have a wall for noise buffering at the entry.The individual owners will decide if they want to have fenced lots or not,and they will all be individually brokered.The owners will choose their own house plans and elevations.They are trying to make this into a model subdivision for all the other 5-10 acre parcels in the city,showing that there can be some diversity.The smallest lot is 11,074 sq.ft.and the largest is 13,120 sq.ft. Vice Mayor Surra stated she knew it was not mandatory for these lots to become part of the sewer district,but it seemed to her it would add extra cost down the line for the owners to become part of it later.She asked why they had decided not to attempt to go into the sewer line. Ms Carol Chamberlain stated they are over 333'from the lines and the district has no immediate plans to bring the line up Idaho in the near future.There is nothing in the immediate area where they plan on bringing it up there and facilitating the other homes. They will make all the homeowners aware that at some future date the sewer will be available for hook-up. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item. Mr.Daniel Burke,1521 S Idaho, addressed the council.He asked where the water runoff was going to be. There have already been two washes that have been filled in. Mayor Coleman asked the city engineer to address the question. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated the retention basins are on Idaho Road and the cul-de-sac will drain to the west. Mr.Daniel Burke stated part of it is draining on his property right now.When they cleared the land they filled in the two washes. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated they have to finish grading the development layout. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 11 OF 27 Mr.Daniel Burke asked how they were going to do it.He asked if they were going to wall i t in and direct it onto his property,as he is on the corner. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated they would go according to the drawing. Mr.Daniel Burke commented about the storm drain when State Route 88 was put in. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated when Idaho Road was built it was elevated,it blocked off the channel and drainage so they put catch basins and an underground storm drain system in to get the runoff,which is down by his property. Mr.Daniel Burke stated there is another one at the end that comes through his property and comes out on 16th Avenue.That one has now been filled in,which is by the cul-de-sac. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated the existing washes on the property drain down towards this corner,but when they build up their new road,and put a slope from the one end out to the other,it will block any of this water coming down here and into this street and come to their retention basins.The other blocks will still continue to drain down towards you as they always have been,but the water above that point will not get to you. Mr.Daniel Burke stated it did not run on his property to begin with,i t ran off to the side.They have now filled that wash,and the water now runs on his property.He is also getting some water from the storm drains on Idaho. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated he was on the property last week,and the wash Mr.Burke is talking about did not appear to be blocked. Mr.Daniel Burke stated i t had been a 4'deep wash and it is now filled in. City Engineer Gordon Grandy asked the applicant if they had done any grading over the last week. The applicant stated they had not. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated until the construction of the street actually happens,Mr.Burke will continue to get the water coming down through Idaho. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 12 OF 27 Mr.Burke stated he did not mind the water going into the storm drains,he minds the water coming onto his property from where the lots are located.He stated if the developer puts a wall up across there,he would not have anything to worry about. City Engineer Gordon Grandy had no comment. to be aware of the problem. drainage issue had been resolved. engineer if the issue had been resolved. Mr.Burke stated he just wanted them Mayor Coleman stated it appeared the Councilmember Durbala asked the city City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated they have not,but they are still in the preliminary stages.He has not seen any of the design plans,the drainage report has not been finalized and the grading plans for the subdivision have not been reviewed.All of that happens between the preliminary plat and final plat.He stated the final plat will not be sent to council until he is satisfied with the grading. Mr.Gene Wilson,1357 S.Idaho Rd., addressed the council.His property abuts the northeast corner of the development.The wash Mr.Burke was talking about goes across his property, over church property,through the development and onto Mr.Burke's property. If the drainage will allow the water to be carried away by the center street, he has no problem with the development.He is also concerned abouth the size of the homes.He would like to see the area continue to have larger homes built,but not necessarily larger lots.He stated homes of 1250 sq.ft.are not in the interest of the larger and more expensive homes already in the area.He would like to have a minimum square footage of 1700 for a single level home. Ms Helen Shalee,who lives in a house directly north of the proposed subdivision,addressed the council.She is concerned about the water flow on the 3 lots north of the subdivision.She stated the lots south of the subdivision appear to have been taken care of, but there has not been anything mentioned about the ones north of the subdivision. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated he has requested drainage easements to be established on the property lines as the washes may not hit exactly on the property lines.They will be located at various locations to take care of the water coming from the north.The water should flow down whatever walls are erected.There will have to be weep holes REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 13 OF 27 to allow the water to transfer down to the street.The water should then go to the retention basin.If a major storm exceeds the retention basin,the lower outlet is by the drain that the Arizona Department of Transportation put in which will take the excess water down the street and south of town. Ms Helen Shalee thanked him and added it looked like he had been planning it.She commented they enjoy the desert wildlife,and requested everyone who builds walls to leave holes in the bottom for the rabbits,quail and roadrunners to get through for everyone to enjoy. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing and reopened the item to discussion by the council. Councilmember Eck stated he is concerned with Mr.Burke's drainage problems.He asked if the city could guarantee there would not be a drainage problem once this subdivision is developed. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated they can only make assumptions on a certain designed storm:they cannot the predict the future.He cannot assure anyone that they will always be protected from the rain.He stated he will make sure this development complies with the city's regulations on storm drainage control. City Manager Curtis Shook stated the city could not make any guarantees on something like a hundred year storm.In general,the final plat drainage will satisfy all engineering requirements. Improvements will be made that will mitigate any concerns. Councilmember Eck stated most of the homes in the area are bigger homes.He asked if they could require a minimum lot size for the homes. Development Services Director Larry Harmer suggested asking the applicant to see if they have any concerns over adjusting the minimum size.Under the rezoning portion of the request,he believes council would be able to request a minimum square footage of the homes. Interim City Attorney William Farrell stated he would have a problem unless there was a specific reference to lot coverage.There should be a reference as to the minimum amount of lot coverage,but going beyond that is something the city code would not normally provide. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 14 OF 27 Long Range Planner Kate Morris stated they have a maximum percentage of lot coverage,but there is no minimum. Interim City Attorney William Farrell stated in order to guarantee that it would be a zoning violation,the code would have to be amended to provide a minimium. Councilmember Insalaco stated he believed this would come later. Mayor Coleman stated the house sizes would come now. Long Range Planner Kate Morris stated this is a hard zoning,so it is rezoning and the preliminary plat.If there is any discussion,it must be done now. City Manager Curtis Shook stated the basic difference between the planned development and the hard zoning is that the city has more control over the design standards. Vice Mayor Surra stated she is not sure the city has much control over design as there have not been very many different designs coming through.She does not believe in restricting the size of the home going onto these lots.The smaller homes put in with the larger homes prevents the area from looking like a "cookie cutter". Ms Carol Chamberlain stated she has heard the comments about the large homes in the area,and she reminded council there are very few homes in the area east of the subdivision.Directly west of the subdivision are approximately 7,000 sq.ft.lots with homes ranging from 900 sq.ft.to 1200 sq.ft.,of which there are hundreds. see this subdivision. and called for a motion. Ms.McClain stated she was happy to Mayor Coleman closed the discussion Councilmember Insalaco MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.1003 BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND THE READING OF THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE BE WAIVED.

Mayor Coleman recessed the meeting for ten minutes. Mayor Coleman reconvened the meeting. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.97-20/ RENAISSANCE PARK SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT )Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias briefed the council on the item.The property is approximately 38 acres in size with approximately 140 homes proposed.It is located on West Broadway Avenue west of the San Marcos alignment.He briefed them on the history of the project.On the original preliminary plat dated in April the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial as they did not believe it met the intent of the planned development regulations or the way the zoning was approved. When the council saw the plat in July,they wanted larger lots and voted to postpone the case until the developer could show the complete package.There had been concern over usable open space at that time,also.This is the revised plan,keeping the same street layout but changing the lot sizes.The larger lots have decreased in size and the smaller lots have increased in size.The lot sizes are more uniform,and they average approximately 7100 REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 5,1997 PAGE 16 OF 27 sq.ft.This plan shows 139 lots.He stated they have not received an illustration on how the open space will work,however,they are committing to working with the parks and recreation department to meet the stipulations recommended for landscaping and amenities.All the comments and stipulations recommended by staff have been added to the resolution,and they recommend a further stipulation of the deletion of Lot 127 to be used for additional open space.It should enhance the more centralized usable open space and provide for a larger park area.Mr.Ross had committed to front landscaping packages and optional fireplaces,council may want to stipulate those in addition to the stipulation for Lot 127.
