Public Works Director Rich Broman stated the logo was developed by Mrs. Leila Flumerfelt,president of Apache Junction Clean and Beautiful,and as organizations participate in adopting a section of road to clean it up,their name and the number of miles of their section will be put on the sign. Mr.Lee listed three organizations that have applied to adopt a street: Apache Junction Clean and Beautiful;Jaime Hess and Wendy Nelson;and Apache Junction Independent Newspaper.He mentioned other organizations have expressed interest in the Adopt -A -Street program. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 20,1992 PAGE 2 OF 16 Mr.Lee updated the Council on work by the Operations Division at the Broadway and Delaware intersection,Weekes Wash at Superstition Blvd.,and US 60 median. Mr.Lee ,asked the City Engineer to give an update on the Idaho Road project.Mr.Gordon Grandy stated one side of Idaho is paved and is open for traffic;that progress is behind schedule and it will not be done by November 1,1992 due to the lengthy underground construction,but progress is as fast as possible with curb and sidewalks and having the other side ready for paving;that major work south of Broadway includes a box culvert there. COUNCIL.DIRECTION'TO STAFF ON PROPOSED LEGISLATION OR ACTIONS DIRECTION TO STAFF TO CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO CITY CODE REGARDING 4-H SWINE )Councilman Perkins stated he was approached by Mr.Jim Greer regarding the 4-H program.He asked a representative of the 4-H swine program to speak on this item. Mr.Lee Schlunder,55 Acacia Road, community leader for the 4-H Club,stated kids start in December getting their pigs ready to go to the County fair four months later to show and sell the pigs.He stated the project will not annoy the neighbors in any way and mentioned that everybody will be in the General Rural zoning.He stated pigs are against the rules and asked the Council to change the rules and allow them to have the project. Mr.Jim Hire,39447 N.Kennedy Drive in Queen Creek,spoke in favor. Councilman Perkins mentioned the Council has received from the club eight stipulations and they are willing to abide by them and stated is up to the Council to decide whatever they feel like doing at this point. Councilwoman Barker stated she did not have a problem with the 4-H project tf it will be something they can enforce on a four -and -a -half to five months basis. Vice Mayor Eidson expressed support. Councilwoman Alger was agreeable and asked that it.be at least on one acre;any General Rural that is going to allow for that kind of animal to be raised it's going to be at least an acre. She explained that we don't want to have somebody raising pigs for show in a small lot because they are going to have problems with the neighbors. City Attorney Glenn Gimbut commented that legally they can't create a special exception for a particular REGULAR MEETING OFJHE:CITY'COUNCIL OCTOBER 20,: 1992 PAGE '3 OF 16: organization such as 4-H,but rather they would have to decide if there any other similar type of organizations like Future Farmers of America or any other educational type projects. Mayor Damiano, asked Mr.Hire how many pigs do they have in Queen Creek. Mr.Hire answered one pig and up to two. Mayor Damian() asked if this project is approved and the person wants to change the area or land where the pig is going to be on,what will happen. Mr.pimbut answered that if the pig is on a land already with pre-existing nonconforming use,the zoning is changed;however the way this program is designed is that the pig is allowed to be there only for so many months of the year,so this is a pre-existing nonconforming use which will abate within that calendar year. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly asked if by tieing it to the General Rural zone areas this creates a need for the Planning and Zoning Commission to hold a hearing. Planning Division Manager Jim Nakagawa answered he did not think so since they are probably just amending Chapter 6 of the City Code and not amending the Zoning Code,and since the zoning allows for livestock in the GR zone anyway;i t is the City Code provision that does not allow swine in the city. Councilwoman Alger asked if when they amended the Zoning Ordinance when dealing with potbellied pigs they took out all reference to swine and put it in Chapter 6. Mr.Nakagawa answered he believed they took all reference to pigs out of the Zoning Code but they left in wording regarding livestock which refers to farm animals,and traditionally they can consider pigs to be farm animals. Councilwoman Alger replied they excepted swine from there. Mr.Nakagawa confirmed it was deleted and the provision exists in Chapter 6 of the City Code. Councilman Perkins pointed out there is a time frame and the kids need to have their pigs by the end of November, so the Council will need to have this back as soon as possible since their REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 20,1992 PAGE 4 OF 16 first meeting in November is cancelled because of the election;so they should have it back at their meeting on November 17th. Ms.Connelly stated the only problem might be the effective day of the ordinance which is thirty days and she was not sure if they can classify it as a public health safety and welfare to make it effective immediately. Mayor Damiano stated it could be effective by December 17th. Councilman Perkins MOVED THAT THE FOLLOWING DIRECTION BE GIVEN TO STAFF REGARDING CITY CODE AMENDMENTS:TO ALLOW 4-H SWINE ONLY IN GENERAL RURAL ZONES OF ONE ACRE AND ONE PIG PER FAMILY AND TO FOLLOW THE EIGHT STIPULATIONS AS PRESENTED. Councilwoman Barker SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. PUBLIC HEARINGS RESOLUTION NO.92-26,GPA-92S-01,A CITY INITIATED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT REGARDING EXPANDING THE MANUFACTURED HOME OVERLAY;AND ORDINANCE NO.826,PZ-18-91,PARKER/LAKE REZONING REQUEST )Planning Division Manager Jim Nakagawa stated this is a proposal to redesignate many areas in Section 21 that essentially would expand the manufactured home overlay.He stated the Planning and Zoning Commission heard this case on September 22nd and they did not favor expanding more area for manufactured home development and recommended denial;that staff drafted the proposed resolution should the Council wish to approve it and they indicate in the northwest area of Section 21 reserving about 15 acres for conventional homes,if the Council desires to do so. Mayor Damiano opened the hearing to the public and there being no one wishing to speak,he closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Alger asked for clarification on the area reserved for conventional home development. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 20,1992 PAGE 5 OF 16 Mr.Nakagawa replied that based on the field studies conducted that would be a feasible area to reserve for conventional homes,if the City Council desires to do that,or this can be deleted from the resolution. already mobile homes in that 15 acres. Councilwoman Alger stated there are Assistant Planner Rudy Esquivias replied there is one mobile home,one recreational vehicle and one conventional home,the rest of the area is vacant. Councilwoman Alger stated there are mobile homes east and south across from that area.She stated she did not think that area will turn from mobile homes to conventional houses and that many of the mobile homes have been there for twenty years.She further explained the inconvenience of taking the 15 acres and leaving it out and she suggested to do the whole section. Councilwoman Alger. Councilwoman Barker agreed with Vice Mayor Eidson asked if at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting anyone living in that area spoke on this issue and if they were in favor of it. Mr.Nakagawa answered one or two of the speakers had some apartment zoning and they were concerned about what this general plan change might do as far as their zoning but the zoning wasn't being considered for a change,and they would be able to utilize the existing zoning;any change of zone would have to conform with the General Plan,but if there is mobile home development it allows either mobile home or conventional homes anyway,so they would be given a choice. Vice Mayor Eidson asked if he knew of anything like two-or five -acre parcels that somebody bought twenty years ago or so to build a home that will be on this area or anything unforeseen like that. Mr.Nakagawa answered probably not with this general plan;this would give people a choice between building either conventional homes or manufactured homes and without this change they would be restricted to just the conventional house. Councilwoman Alger MOVED THAT RESOLUTION NO.92-26,APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA-92S-01,A CITY- INITIATED PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE 1987 GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP BY EXPANDING THE MANUFACTURED HOME OVERLAY IN SECTION 21 TO COVER ALL OF THE REMAINING MEDIUM DENSITY AREAS,BE APPROVED;AND REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 20,1992 PAGE 6 OF 16 Mr.Nakagawa answered that one of the reasons is to restrict the kind of commercial use here;the second advantage is to be able to look at the design of the project and see whether or not this is something that would be agreeable to them. Councilwoman Alger asked if that is the only way this can be done,if we cannot put in the ordinance that this is the only type of use allowed;then we can tell them basically what is in there,that we are going to allow the wrought iron fence and they have to put the block wall up when residential development occurs. Mr.Nakagawa replied that basically the only time when you can execute conditional zoning,which is what planned development is,is to have a distinct designation such as PD.He explained that having just a straight C-4 designation on the zoning map and when they see that,they are familiar with the whole range of uses allowed in C-4 zoning district rather than the one restricted use for that corner.He added that the fact that we are giving a special consideration to this particular utility company use is probably another factor in looking at this from a planned development zoning stand point. Vice Mayor Eidson agreed with what Councilman Perkins stated previously and that he understands the reasons of the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff for not wanting to grant this but we have to be a City that allows each individual case to have its own merits, and this has its merits for the Council to go in opposition to staff and the Commission. Mr.Lee clarified that staff does support the change. Mayor Damiano asked if they will be required to put in off -sites. Mr.Nakagawa answered for the front portion but not around the corner on Delaware. Vice Mayor Eidson MOVED THAT RESOLUTION NO.92-31,APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA-92S-02,A CITY- INITIATED PROPOSAL TO REDESIGNATE ONE AND ONE-HALF ACRES IN SECTION 30 FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL/CONVENTIONAL HOMES/PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT TO COMMERCIAL/PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT,BE APPROVED AND ADOPTED.

Vice Mayor Eidson asked if at Azure Skies is there going to be a two-way stop or four-way stop. Mr.Grandy answered a two-way stop. Councilwoman Alger asked why on Windsong are we only removing the westbound stop sign. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 20,1992 PAGE 10 OF 16 Mr.Grandy answered that the Windsong and Main Drive intersection other than the T configuration is a cul- de-sac to the south and it's a short street,with Windsong in the east -west direction being the main direction of travel.He explained that when the mobile home park was built on the northeast corner they put a stop sign in conjunction with their construction and it wasn't really warranted;that there are two stop signs there now;that legally the way out of the cul-de-sac doesn't have to stop.He suggested to give priority of direction of travel to the east -west on Windsong and make both directions on Main Drive to stop. Mayor Damiano opened the hearing to the public and there being no one wishing to speak,he closed the public hearing.

Councilwoman Barker agreed it needs to be put in writing as a priority to be done as soon as possible and agreed with Councilwoman Alger's proposal.

Mr.Mike Whitehead,Engineering Manager of Arizona Water Company,3805 N.Black Canyon,Phoenix,spoke in favor of the general plan amendment. Mr.Bob Rush,property ,supervisor for Bonita Vista Mobile Home Park,stated the park is straight south from the water company yard;they rent 307 spaces year round;and the residents approved this a hundred percent;they believe it will be an asset to the area to help clean it up. Councilwoman Alger asked if they will be putting landscaping on the sides of the proposed wrought iron fence. Mr.Whitehead answered yes. Councilwoman Alger asked why is the well site not included. Mr.Chris Ochs of Arizona Water Company answered they don't use it for any storage at this time;it's too small and the electrical panels,the facilities and the plumbing extends throughout most of that parcel so it's impossible to store anything there; most of the storage is done on the largest parcel to the east and also the cost involved of the sidewalk and curb around Delaware was taken into consideration;that they would not object to doing all sides in the future,if a project should occur to the north but at this time they would rather not. Councilman Perkins expressed support and suggested to make Ironwood Drive commercial all the way to Southern Avenue,like Mesa and other cities have done with their main thoroughfares, and this will be a step in that direction. Councilwoman Alger asked why are we asking for planned development. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 20,1992 PAGE8 OF 16
