Deannexation,and stated that they also met with the CAAG Management Committee
on Friday to review a report requested by the Regional Council which shows how
the proposed Community Development Block Grant criteria which the Management
Committee put together,will effect projects submitted last year,and concluded
that the new criteria will improve the CDBG process,for example,the Apache
Junction project submitted last year,with the new criteria,would have received
a higher point total than was received last year,which may or may not have
improved our position depending on the makeup of the other projects.Mr.Da Vee
also reported that the Economic Opportunities Action Team "Red Carpet"event on
April 6th at Gold Canyon with a presentation handled by John Schoeph,was very
informative,and also stated that the new Public Works/Animal Control Buildings
are making progress,and further that the paving is making considerable
progress.

protection.
Mr.Da Vee replied that the Fire
District does not cover that area,so an amendment or negotiated agreement for

)Assistant Planner Bob Dunn briefed
the Council on the request for rezoning of two combined parcels of 1.43 acres,
located at the northwest corner of Ironwood Drive and Superstition Boulevard,
from C-2 Local Commercial District to C-4 Heavy Commercial District,which is
designated on the General Plan is Commercial,and stated that the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommends rezoning to C-3/PD rather than C-4,and that staff
recommends stipulations should the rezoning be approved,and outlined staff
concerns,which do not support rezoning to C-4 zoning.
Councilman Burgess commented that i t
is interesting that none of the surrounding property owners have objected to the
proposed rezoning.
City Attorney David Alexander stated
that when a zoning is changed,we usually require that everything be brought
into conformance with the new amendment,and that the recommendation to the
Building Department was that the City Council should confirm that by saying they
do not have to go through the Special Use Permit again.
Councilman Burgess stated that he
does not agree with some of the stipulations of the Special Use Permit.
City Attorney David Alexander
replied that i t will be necessary to change the Special Use Permit Ordinance,in
order to accomplish the deletion of those stipulations.
Councilwoman Gardner stated that C-4
would not be appropriate,but C-3 is feasible,and that changes are necessary in
the Ordinance.

this Zoning Ordinance amendment is noted for a future agenda item.

Stachar's present business development is very well done,and exactly as the

hard decision to make,in interpreting the intended uses of an area,but that
C-3 would be -appropriate rather than the requested C-4,especially as
Mr.Stachar may not always own the property and will not be able to control what
goes into the property in the future.

could not agree with taking away five feet more of the parking lot,despite the
staff recommendation.

due to difficulties in finding adequate,affordable housing in the City,causing
a hardship for some,though i t is encouraged for employees to live within the
City limits.Mr.Da Vee recommended living within a 25 minute response time as
adequate for emergency service.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
reported on a random survey of different cities policies.
Councilman Damiano asked for an
amendment to Section 3.35,putting "City Employee Personnel"instead of "Police
Dispatcher Employment",and changing "the Communications Section of"to "any
department",and changing "Police Department employees",to "employees".
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated
that this is in the Police Policies,but those language changes are already in
the basic Personnel Policies,which covers all employees including Police
Department employees.
Mr.Da Vee stated that he would
verify that.
City Attorney David Alexander stated
that the problem is that the Police Department has passed rules that are
inconsistent with the City Personnel Policies,and suggested that the Council
state that should there be a conflict between the two,the City Personnel
Policies will prevail.
Mr.Da Vee stated that the Police
Department is the only Department currently required to reside within the City
limits,and to be consistent this policy should be set for all employees.
Councilman Burgess asked why the
requirement that department heads live within the City limits is not enforced.
Mr.Da Vee replied that this
requirement may be waived by the City Council.
Councilman Burgess stated that the
Council has never been requested to give a waiver,and further that i f an
employee wishes to make their living in Apache Junction,they should be required
to live in Apache Junction,and that portions of Pinal County,including Gold
Canyon,is considered Apache Junction.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
explained that department heads are required to live within the corporate
limits,which does not include Gold Canyon.

Bell stated that Pinal County has suggested,in the interest of getting out of a
park business,that the City take over the Superstition Park,and pointed out
the following areas of concern:the additional expense to the City of
approximately $25,000 annually in it's existing condition;the County has
requested continued use of their maintenance facility and the Department of
Public Safety substation should the transfer take place,which are in conflict
with the original BLM agreement,requiring clarification from BLM;thirdly the
possibility of the closing or realignment of Scenic Street which decisions will
be necessary prior to a transfer as i t could impact the park site;and finally
the Superstition Mountain Historical Society has expressed interest in the site
as a possible location for the proposed museum,which would also require BLM
approval.Mr.Bell requested guidance from the Council as to direction to take
in this matter.
Councilman Burgess stated that the
City should acquire this 40 acre site,and i t should not take additional funds
in maintenance.
