CALL TO THE PUBLIC/ANNOUNCEMENTS Chief Vidaurri noted that he attended a presentation put on by the Sons of the American Revolution 2004 Outstanding Law Enforcement Officers in Southern Arizona. Marana Police Officer Bobby Derfus was awarded the outstanding Officer of the Y ear Award for 2004 for the Marana Police Department. Chief Vidaurri introduced Officer Derfus and noted several of his achievements over the past year. VIII. STAFF REPORTS There were no questions regarding the staff reports. IX. GENERAL ORDER OF BUSINESS A. CONSENT AGENDA 1. Resolution No. 2005-15: Relating to Liquor Licenses; approving a recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor License & Control for a No. 12 (Restaurant) liquor license submitted by Texas Roadhouse Holdings, LLC, located at 8450 N. Cracker Barrel Road. (Jocelyn Bronson) 2. Resolution No. 2005-14: Relating to Transportation; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Marana and Pima County for the sharing of costs involved in the provision of public transit services to certain areas of Pima County and the Town of Marana. (Jim DeGrood) 3. Resolution No. 2005-13: Relating to Subdivisions; approving a Final Plat for the Re-subdivision of Gladden Farms Blocks 13, 14, and 15. (Barbara Berlin) A motion was made by Council Member Escobedo to approve the Consent Agenda, seconded by Council Member Blake. The motion carried unanimously. B. COUNCIL ACTION I. Update: Municipal Complex (Marc Thompson. D.L. Withers). Mr. Reuwsaat introduced Keith Dumais, construction manager for D.L. Withers, who presented the signage that was chosen by the building committee. Keith also noted that March 15th was still the target date for completing the building, or at least for moving furniture. He also noted that the first floor was about done. The second floor was painted and the third floor would be painted tomorrow. The Council chamber itself was being dry-walled today and the roof was dried in, so that would be coming along quickly. Regarding site work, Barnett would be opened Monday. Grier Road would be closed down on Tuesday. They were going to try to have Grier done by the end of April, depending on the weather. Mayor Sutton noted that he had taken a mini-tour of the building and was very impressed MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 1,2005 with it. Mr. Reuwsaat thanked Keith for his part in moving the building along, and noted the tentative move-in schedule for the Court and the Police, including dispatch, which would require a one-day turnover. 2. Presentation: Municipal Complex Ribbon-Cuttin2 and Dedication Ceremony (Mike Reuwsaat). Mr. Reuwsaat noted that the dedication of the new facility has tentatively been scheduled for Founder's Day. The inclement weather experienced this winter has made it unfeasible to hold the event in the courtyard where a lot of the activities were going to occur on Founder's Day. Mr. Reuwsaat asked for Council's recommendation on where to move the dedication, noting that the date would determine the tone and tenor. The first option was to hold it the first Council meeting of May, on a Tuesday night. Basically, there would be a ceremonial Council Meeting with ribbon cutting and fireworks, with the events ending at about 8:30 p.m. A second option would be basically, the same format, but it would be held on a Friday or Saturday evening. The advantage to that being that more residents may come to a Friday or Saturday event than to a Tuesday night. Mayor Sutton noted that members of the Legislature would probably be more available on a weekend but also that Cinco de Mayo was that weekend, which might compete with the dedication event. After a brief discussion as to the pros and cons of the options, the Mayor moved to hold the dedication the night of May 3. The motion was seconded by Council Member Escobedo, and the motion carried unanimously. 3. Information/Presentation: Proposed art work and landscape architecture for Cortaro Farms Road. UPRR to Star Grass Drive (Harvev Gill). Council Member Escobedo introduced the project manager for the Cortaro Farms Road, Mr. Leonard Fuentes for CPE Consultants, who gave an update on the art work and the landscaping. Mr. Fuentes gave an overview of the status of the roadway project, including the art and landscaping elements associated with the project. He introduced artists, Nina Borgia- Aberle and Stephen Grede, and the landscape architect, Rick Schoenfeld They presented the art and landscaping integrated elements of the project. Ms. Borgia-Aberle spoke on behalf of herself and Mr. Grede, and reviewed their tenure with the project beginning in January of 2001, noting that they had met with the citizens advisory committee first and then members of the community at the first open house on April 26, 2001. During this open house, they spoke to many members of the community about their initial concepts and distributed questionnaires. Ms. Borgia-Aberle noted that a copy of the questionnaire was in the paperwork given to the Council Members, further stating that honoring the natural environment as well as many historical references, MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 1,2005 including dairy farming and specific reference to the roadway's namesake, Cortaro Farms, was the focus of their research. The rural aspect and feeling of the area, including the pristine stretches of desert that still existed, added to how they decided to create a cross section of a native flower to enhance the railings that would be necessary along the sidewalks on the north side of Cortaro from east of the railroad tracks to Hartman Lane. An art element would be placed at 10-foot increments along 1,720 feet of railing, or approximately 172 art elements. Their final meeting with the community was on October 8, 2002, when they presented their final design for the cow element and the art element for the railing, including color choices for the railing. The cowart element would be fully integrated with the landscape design and would have lighting, making it visible at night. Mr. Schoenfeld then presented the landscape project as a desert, low-water-use design that relies heavily on native vegetation to this area. The design was driven by the plants that were salvaged as part of native plant preservation plan process. They noted the drainages that would impact major washes. There was also a requirement to have significant tree plantings in the median isle, as well as the shoulders. There would be transplanted ironwood, palo verde, some desert willow, a number of saguaros that are along the alignment. He then showed a typical section with accent plants approaching the medians and concrete pavers as well as sidewalks of decomposed granite. He noted that all planting would be watered by an automatic drip irrigation system. Mayor Sutton noted general agreement with the railing and landscape plan but voiced his about the cow. It was an 80-square-foot cow. In comparing the cow concept with the current Marana monument sign near the Pinal County line, he noted that the existing monument was a descriptive history of Marana, and that most people wouldn't understand the concept of the cow as part of Marana's history. He stated that unless there was a description of why the cow was there, he didn't care for the cow being there. Mr. Schoenfeld clarified for the Council that the cow was included in the design prior to Marana's annexation of the area. When this process was done originally, it was actually done through Pima County, prior to the Willow Ridge annexation by Marana. As part of the IGA with Pima County, CPE agreed not change the landscaping and some of the design, and that was why the artists brought the cow before Council. So this group of artists and people did work with the community, but it wasn't Marana at the time, which was why it is coming before the Council now. Council Member Blake asked that Mr. Schoenfeld define the community that was originally approach. Ms. Borgia-Aberle responded that Pima County design/transportation has a process where they do mailings within a certain number of feet from the roadway, generally within a half mile from the road, so everybody who lived near Cortaro Farms Road was invited to the meetings. That mailing was extended to some other residents who were affected by the project. On the citizens' advisory committee, there were 12 key people in the neighborhood from neighborhood associations, and others who served on the citizens' advisory committee to the County. CPE's design was completed a year and a half ago, so MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 1,2005 it was before the Town of Marana annexed the property. There were two public meetings. The first meeting on April 26, 2001 included about 40 or 50 residents. Prior to that, they met with the citizens' advisory committee. Then they met with the general public after Pima County did a mailing for the open meeting. Mayor Sutton expressed his concern that there was not one Marana resident in that group, in 2001, because Marana had not started construction of home in that area. If there were residents, they constituted a small amount. Based on annexations, there are some people on that road now but weren't included in this process. Mayor Sutton gave direction to staff to get together with the artists and bring the item back at a future date after further public input regarding design, noting that much of what has been done on the project was still viable. Perhaps a design incorporating a collage with a cow and a cotton bloom and the Santa Cruz River and something showing the water our community was built on and based here and the reason they are here would be more appropriate. Mr. Barr agreed to move that process forward, again noting that he would work with the artists and share what was being done artistically with the new municipal complex area so that there was some consistency in the public road art throughout the town. Mr. Fuentes concluded the presentation by updating Council on actual roadway projects. They do have the two roadway projects. One was Cortaro Farms from the railroad to Star Grass Drive. The second project was the intermittent safety improvements at Hartman Lane and Cortaro Farms Road. This intersection improvement was advertised the first week of January. They received bids on January 13th. The low bid was $40,000 less than the engineer's estimate. The low bidder was Dar-Hil Corporation. It was my understanding that their contract was supposed to be executed today. 4.

Kathy Ward, Vice President of Corporate Services and Interim Director for the Greater Tucson Economic Council presented the second quarter contractual report for economic development servIces. Ms. Ward reported on nine real estate searches conducted by GTEC for properties in the greater Tucson region. Marana received copies of all the searches for which fifteen client visits were hosted. No client visits were scheduled in Marana during the quarter due to lack of available properties matching the client requirements. No company announcements regarding locations were made during the quarter. Janis Mitich, with the Marana Arts Council, announced the culminating event for the Founders' Day celebration. The Marana Arts Council was co-sponsoring a trail ride for the arts at Picacho Peak on Saturday, March 26. She encouraged the Council and public to attend, and ended her presentation with a reading of a poem written by her father.

Resolution No. 2005-19: Relating to Development; ratifying the recommendation of approval by the Manager's Design Review Committee regarding design review for the Silverbell Wade Commercial Center (Barbara Berlin) Ms. Berlin presented this item, noting that this was an action recommending ratification of approval by the Manager's Design Review Committee regarding a project for the Silverbell/Wade Commercial Center. This was located at the northwest corner of Silverbell and Wade and was approximately 21,600 square feet of building area, with a height of 22 feet as shown. She had stated during the design review committee process, a couple of revisions were made per the recommendations of the committee. This was the final version, and the action requested of the Council was to either affirm or reverse in whole or in part or modify the design review committee's recommendation. The recommendation was to ratify as shown. Council Member Comerford asked for a point of clarification on the varying heights, the detention/retention basin and the material for the driveway sections. Ms. Berlin stated that the maximum height was 22 feet, so the other areas were lower. She noted that the detention/retention basin was not included for tonight's action and that that item had not gone through review. The driveway was stamped concrete colored stain. A motion to approve Resolution 2005-19 was made by Council Member McGorray, seconded by Council Member Honea. The motion carried 3 to 2. Council Members Comerford and Blake voted no. 1. Presentation on the Perimeter Bicycle Association's "Tour of the Tucson Mountains" (Jim DeGrood) Roy Schoonover was introduced by the Town Manager to present this item to Council. Mr. Schoonover noted that he was a volunteer with Perimeter Bicycling, a 50lC3 nonprofit organization which had sponsored the El Tour de Tucson for 23 years. For 19 years, the tour had been through the Tucson Mountains. He noted that the proposal to Council was to move the 70-mile ride to Marana which would financially benefit the community through the use of hotels and restaurants, as people of all ages come from around the country to attend this ride. Mr. Reuwsaat noted that staff was asked for direction to go ahead and work with the Perimeter Bicycling Association on this event, and that it would provide the kind of MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 15,2005 exposure and the kind of regional event that would add to the good things that were being done in the community. 2. Ordinance No. 2005.05: Relating to development; approving a Specific Plan Amendment for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan (Barbara Berlin) Ms. Berlin gave an overview of the long and varied history of the item, including the earlier inconsistencies with the Northwest Marana Area Plan, stating that staff was requesting approval of a Specific Plan Amendment for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan. She also noted that it was significant that the developer had agreed to withhold portions of the Specific Plan area that fall within the Town Center for which they were planning new design review criteria. The agreement was that they would adopt and incorporate into this plan the Town Center plan, assuming that it would be completed before February of 2006. If that was not the case, the plan as shown before you would take effect. Mr. Reuwsaat emphasized that what was being presented was permission for the owner/developer to go ahead with Blocks 9, 14,23 with R-6 development, and Block 8, subject to Council approval. The rest of the blocks were being held until the Town Center was complete. Council Member McGorray made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 2005.05, seconded by Council Member Comerford. The motion passed unanimously. 3. Ordinance 2005.06: Relating to Rezoning; adopting the Ina/Silverbell Rezoning (Barbara Berlin) Ms. Berlin addressed the Council, noting that this was a continuance of the item that was begun in June of 2004 when the public hearing was held. The issues of right-of- way, utility easements, and other dedications have been resolved. There was an agreement with regard to support for the schools, and rezoning was now before you for final adoption. A motion was made by Council Member Honea to adopt Ordinance No. 2005.06, seconded by Council Member McGorray. The motion carried unanimously. 4.

Cemex was preparing a new Specific Plan which would be brought forward as soon as it was prepared. This would extend the time to May 14,2005. Mr. Reuwsaat noted that the applicant had asked for an extension through December, but since staff had already granted two extensions, a further delay could hinder the progress toward the alignment of Tangerine Farms Road. They need to have this Specific Plan and in for consideration so they have that alignment. A motion was made by Council Member McGorray to adopt Ordinance 2005.07, seconded by Council Member Blake.

State Le2islative Issues: Discussion/Direction/Action regarding all pending bills before the Legislature (Mike Reuwsaat) Michael Racy noted that there was a tremendous amount of activity in the Legislature relating to cities and towns, some of which was fairly hostile. He noted that he would try to have a written report to Council prior to meetings, but also stated that things were moving so quickly that the information becomes dated quite rapidly. He noted that the master list used to review and keep track of bills for the Town had about 20 or 25 bills on it. Mr. Racy then asked if he could depart from the usual summary and just discuss some MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 15,2005 critical issues that were going on up there, i.e. municipal tax incentives regarding very large, long-term rebates, sales tax revenues to developers and retail projects that tend to get bid up in competitions between bordering communities; State trust land reform; the regional transportation authority; and franchise agreements with the cable television industry. Mr. Racy concluded his presentation with the invitation for Council to contact him at any time regarding the current status of any legislation. C. MAYOR AND COUNCIL'S REPORT There were no reports. D. MANAGERS' REPORT Mr. Reuwsaat stated that former Town Manager, Mike Hein, had been offered the position of City Manager for the City of Tucson, and offered congratulations and support for Mr. Hein as he moves forward in his career. He also noted that Congressman Kolbe held a Town Hall at the Marana Operations Center on the previous Saturday with well over a hundred people in attendance. Further, he reported on an extensive meeting with State Land with the result that Town staff would be moving forward on perhaps two urban planning processes for property from Saguaro Springs to the BOR park site, and then the main property around the airport. That would allow staff to bring forward an amendment to the General Plan which would positively affect employment opportunities for the community. Jim DeGrood noted that Town staff would be meeting with the Silverbell Action Coalition tomorrow night to make a presentation on Marana efforts to address traffic concerns within the Silverbell corridor. X. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS There were none. IX. ADJOURNMENT A motion to adjourn was made by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member McGorray. The motion carried unanimously. The time being 7:55 p.m. CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that the foregoing are the true and correct minutes of the Marana Town Council meeting held on February 15,2005. I further certify that a quorum was present. Jocelyn C. Bronson, Town Clerk STUDY SESSION MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 15,2005 PLACE AND DATE Marana Town Hall, February 15,2005 I. CALL TO ORDER By Council Member Honea at 5:35 p.m. The study session was held informally and no official roll call was given. Vice Mayor Kai and Council Member Escobedo were excused from the study session. Mayor Sutton arrived at 5 :40 p.m. All other council members were present and seated at the dais. II. GENERAL ORDER OF BUSINESS 1. Presentation: Proposed residential development at The Pines (Barbara Berlin) Barbara Berlin: I am really just introducing Paula Meade from Standard Pacific Homes this evening who will be presenting what you are seeing this evening, which is a concept plan for The Pines Golf Course near Continental Ranch. I have seen some earlier renditions of this. Paula, as you know, has been working with me and several others on developing the residential design standards, which we are still working on, of course. Having some of those in mind, she has been working with the architect, and I will let her explain more about the proposal. Paula Meade, introduced Chris Kemmerly, Tucson division president of Standard Pacific; Gerrie Gray, also at Standard Pacific; John Wood with Presidio Engineering; Mike Grassinger with The Planning Center; and Jeff De Mure, president of Jeffrey De Mure and Associates, who is going to be doing the majority of the presentation tonight. Paula then gave an overview of the proposed residential development at The Pines Golf Course property, hopefully in keeping with the new design standards. She noted that if the proposed plans are received favorably by the Council, Standard Pacific will be required to do a specific plan amendment on the Phase II parcel, including a density transfer, an abandonment of Continental Links Drive, as it used to be known and a few other issues that will change lot sizes, setbacks, and heights of homes. Tonight's presentation is primarily to see if Standard Pacific designs are aligned with the Council's vision. Mr. De Mure, whose credentials include being an architect and a planner, started by applauding Council for taking bold design review steps. Mr. De Mure stated that he premises his work on architecture becoming subservient to a good design when the spirit of the design guidelines and of the community is to, in fact, make a good community. He started with the site plan relative to the golf course, arroyos and mountain views, envisioning them all become a living laboratory of what the desert is all about. The site plan is designed to promote interaction of activities, noting that the entry sequence takes on a special significance because the terminus of that entry sequence is a traffic circle and a recreation center. Mr. De Mure referred to an exhibit to illustrate what that sequence might be, indicating a bridge element to provide circulation for the recreational golfers. He noted that it also becomes a statement to be made because it is the gateway into the additional portion of the community. For MINUTES OF STUDY SESSION FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THE PINES/ IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN HONEA HEIGHTS/ AQUIFER-STORAGE AND LAND-SUBSIDENCE MONITORING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 15,2005 the balance of the community, they had a variety of lot sizes. He then referred to some other exhibits of various elevations within the projects. Mr. De Mure noted that the architecture was an informal agrarian-inspired architecture. For the 6, 000 square foot lots, the design starts from the curb to the entry and then the front door. The whole concept behind this design was one of transparency, one of accessibility, so that neighbors can go from the divided parkway sidewalk up to the front door unencumbered, and the porch sort of reaches out and embraces the street. The garages were recessed back from the living spaces so there aren't any snout houses that were sort of snarling at the road. The colors reinforce those planes that ascend and recess from the street itself. . He noted that three variations on themes of architecture, territorial, southwestern would be employed in the designs. Some had scuffers -- some had collection boxes and downspouts. These were opportunities to introduce color and vibrancy and the things that make a community what it was. These elements would make each home unique. Mr. De Mure further indicated the process of coalescing the house and site to further enhance the community by varying lot sizes from 32 to 45 feet wide, all on the same street as well as a combination of one- two- and three-story homes within the area. These elements begin to blur the lines between that property line being a straight shot right to the back yard. His staff would like to take this concept and use it for the entire site which would create combinations of different home sites and different housing opportunities for the residents ranging in size from 1,300 to 3,000 square feet. He stated that that makes for a good neighborhood, economic diversity and architectural opportunities creates a variety of different folks that can live in a given neighborhood. Mr. De Mure also pointed out that the biggest garage was a two-car garage. He then provided some statistical data on how the garages were designed, including architecture forward designs. He noted that there would be several single-car garages. A single-car garage, even on a 20-foot- wide home was one-third of the architecture on the streetscape. A three-car garage dominates the streetscape. A two-car garage, when it was a smaller portion of the entire percentage of the home site or the home itself were the kind of elements that add a certain texture and quality to the neighborhood that they were trying to bring. Mr. De Mure continued with his presentation on park sites, safety elements and open space, noting that the designs for the development were meant to integrate with the Council's vision and not compete with existing designs. Council Member Honea raised the issue of three-story homes in the Town of Marana, of which there were none, pointing out that this was a new concept for the Council. He indicated that he did like the design of the buildings and asked for clarification on recessed garages. Mr. De Mure then described the term "architecture forward" and illustrated this design on almost all the homes, varying from 3 to 10 feet, some flush with the porch in the front, some with a two- one-split garage, where there was a side-entry garage and a front-entry garage. On the larger home site, the design incorporates a tandem base to fit three cars. He also addressed the look and MINUTES OF STUDY SESSION FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THE PINES/ IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN HONEA HEIGHTS/ AQUIFER-STORAGE AND LAND-SUBSIDENCE MONITORING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 15,2005 dimension of a porch to be included in the design. Council Member Honea raised the issue of play areas for children -- basketball courts, tennis courts, and picnic tables and things of that nature. Mr. De Mure indicated that programming of the parks element was not part of the presentation, but that he would be happy to come back before Council with a full rendering once design standards were approved. Ms. Meade concurred that tonight's presentation was conceptual rather than concrete, and that the issues of parks and safety and connectivity to trails and other amenities as well as lot size would have to be discussed during further meetings with staff before requesting Council approval of any design concept. Mayor Sutton also recognized this presentation was to gain an indication of whether the builder was moving in the right direction as opposed to asking for blanket approval of the proposal. He, too, was concerned about pedestrian safety and the attractive element of shopping just across Cortaro that would make pedestrian safety in and out of The Pines a priority. And that there should be some park element located on the north side of Cortaro to avoid hazardous crossing getting to and from the new District Park which would be located on the south side of Cortaro near Silverbell. Mayor Sutton then inquired about the demographic of the buyer of the homes at The Pines. Mr. De Mure first indicated that an emerging group of buyers that represents about 40 percent of all the buyers out there. Right now, 70 percent of the builders build for less than 40 percent of the market. There was a huge demand for a different kind of housing, for a different kind of community. This group was called 'cultural creatives'. They sort of go across the board in terms of age and generation and they don't really conform to any specific demographic of being dual income, no kids or being an empty nest, but there was a variety of ages. Ms. Meade indicated that there was possibility for some rear-load design if they want to go to a higher density, similar to an alley concept. It would, require, possibly, a little narrow street in the front, but they hadn't thrown anything out, other than they were obligated to do 6,000 square foot lots in Phase I. It was zoned for that. In this Phase II, they may respond with a totally different type of layout. Council Member Blake asked if the garages could be put in the rear of the homes. Mr. Meade responded that typically, it doesn't work that way. You either had all the garages in the back or in the front. There was a way to mitigate that garage door with a recessed garage door that doesn't just hang there in front, and you had some other architecture that goes with it. But either you go all rear or all front. Council Member Blake then asked about the concept of having side-entry garages and running a drive down the side of the house with an auto court in the back. Mr. De Mure responded that there could be solutions to that issue. After lengthy discussion on the merit of moving the garages and lot sizes as well as providing a diverse design with wide appeal, and again noting that tonight's presentation was preliminary only, Mayor Sutton indicated that there was enough direction from this Council to give the go- ahead to look at a different concept. MINUTES OF STUDY SESSION FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THE PINES/ IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN HONEA HEIGHTS/ AQUIFER-STORAGE AND LAND-SUBSIDENCE MONITORING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 15,2005 2. Presentation: Proposed options for roadway improvements within the Honea Heights neighborhood (H. Thomas Gill) Mr. Gill noted that the Town continued to work with the county to get the sewer in there. The next step was how to put streets back together and provide for pedestrian access. He then presented Kevin Thornton, manager of the CIP Engineering division, and a representative from Sage Landscape Architecture and Environmental to present options and cost data for pedestrian improvements in Honea Heights. Mr. Thornton noted that Town staff, with the help of Sage Landscape/Architecture, prepared three alternatives regarding paving of the Honea Heights neighborhood roads following the construction of the proposed sewer system the county was going to be building here this year. The roads within Honea Heights total approximately three miles in length. Bryan Sager, with Sage, was here tonight. He was a licensed architect with Sage and would be able to provide information on the landscaping options that were being presented here. In addition to the three options presented here, they were able to do other variations on those. Town staff would like direction from the Mayor and Council regarding which option to pursue further or variation upon an option. The design of this project would take place concurrently with the construction of the sewer system. Roadway construction of this project would take place following completion of the sewer system, assuming the funding was available. Option one, basically, consists of asphalt paving, curb, and associated drain improvements, sidewalks, and landscaping. The asphalt paving that they were proposing on this was 32 feet in width, which meets the current subdivision street standards. Parking would be allowed on the street with this alternative. The project cost for this option was the most prohibitive at a conservative $5.7 million. Bryan would discuss the landscaping that they were proposing for this option. Option two that they were presenting tonight consisted of asphalt paving that would match the existing widths that were out there, a stabilized, decomposed granite path, as well as landscaping that was not quite as formal as option one. The existing pavement width out in Honea Heights varies from approximately 20 feet to 24 feet. One problem with this option was it would likely limit availability of parking within the right-of-way, due to the narrow street width, and they would be using much of the existing shoulder area today as a pathway as well as landscaping. The project cost estimated for this concept was approximately $1.1 million. Option three, the least expensive of the options, basically consisted of repaving the existing streets. Once the sewer project goes in, the streets were not going to have an asphalt surface until the Town comes back in and replaces that. The cost for this option was estimated at approximately $600,000. Mr. Sager then gave an overview of each of the main options, identifying trees, shrubs and open spaces on each - formal and informal plantings. He also noted that the ground treatment could be asphalt, left natural or with some decomposed granite spread, which was standard. Council Member McGorray asked about the option with the decomposed granite, stating that she MINUTES OF STUDY SESSION FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THE PINES/ IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN HONEA HEIGHTS/ AQUIFER-STORAGE AND LAND-SUBSIDENCE MONITORING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 15,2005 noticed only two shrubs between the walkway and the street. Would the planting be continued all the way So the walkway wasn't right adjacent to the street? Mr. Thornton responded that with this option, there was the ability to meander the walkway as well as further down there were a few more plantings, but they were hard to see at this distance. Between the road and the pathway, they want to keep the shrubs low, but there would be shrubs there. The decomposed granite would be similar to what you see along Dove Mountain Blvd. After a general discussion regarding sidewalks and public meetings regarding the streets in Honea Heights, Council Member Comerford asked how on-street parking would be necessary. Council Member Honea responded that most of the lots in Honea Heights were large, varying from about 15,000 feet to a half acre. On the east end of the neighborhood, the lots were fairly large in general, so there was not a lot of need for on-street parking or for vegetation as there was a lot of vegetation existing there now. That would eliminate about $275,000. Mr. Thornton noted that one of the things that added to the cost was curbing, and they had to deal with drainage a lot more than if they leave it as it exists today. They could do a sidewalk option with this for not too much more. There was a difference between the DG and the sidewalk, but it was not a huge difference as far as cost goes. Mayor Sutton asked for a cost per item on the options. The costs of additional right-of-way were pretty expensive too. He also inquired as to what promises had been made to the residents without requiring Council approval. Mr. Barr noted that there wasn't a hard promise for sidewalks. They talked about the opportunity to go in there. They had always talked about when you go in and you move the new sewage system in there, they had the opportunity to re-build that neighborhood. That was what they were talking about right here. If the costs were minimal between DG versus asphalt versus concrete sidewalks, you can go with the concrete and put them on one side. Mayor Sutton: I think they can work something out, so look at the cost per item that they were talking about on these, break it down. When that comes back to our agenda and they start meeting more, they would figure it out. 3. Presentation: AQuifer-Stora2e and Land-Subsidence Monitorin2 in the Tucson Active Mana2ement Area Report (Brad DeSpain): Mr. DeSpain introduced David L. Schmerge and John Hoffman from the US Geological Survey, noting that the Town had become cooperators with other water entities in the Tucson region and basin to do a land subsidence monitoring and Aquifer-Storage. Mr. Schmerge described an overview of the using gravity measurements. Noting that this was the first time he had presented any information to Council, he also spent some time describing the equipment. The goal of the presentation to Council was to look at the storage changes that they had seen in MINUTES OF STUDY SESSION FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THE PINES/ IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN HONEA HEIGHTS/ AQUIFER-STORAGE AND LAND-SUBSIDENCE MONITORING MARANA TOWN HALL FEBRUARY 15,2005 the Tucson basin, including Marana, over the last couple years. I am, also, going to show you the results for land subsidence as well. Generally speaking, what they were seeing in Tucson basin, especially in the northwestern part, was where they predominately seeing the largest storage changes over the several years, including the area of Marana that they were looking at. If I recall, they need the map to see how large the area was, but they saw 100,000 acre-feet of storage loss in the northwestern part of Tucson basin, which would be, for that study area, about half a foot of loss per year. In Avra Valley, on the other hand, for the northern and central part, they were seeing storage increases. For Marana itself, they saw both the largest storage loss, which was in the Tucson basin loss, but they also saw the largest storage increase in the study area, which was at the airport in Avra Valley. There were several re-charge facilities there. The single largest loss was near the Santa Cruz River. There was an equipment malfunction, and Mayor Sutton asked if, in the interest of time, Mr. Schmerge could bring his presentation back the following week. III. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Sutton adjourned the meeting at 6:45 p.m. CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that the foregoing are the true and correct minutes of the study session held on February 15,2005. I further certify that a quorum was present. Jocelyn C. Bronson, Town Clerk TOWN OF MARANA STUDY SESSION 13251 N. LON ADAMS ROAD FEBRUARY 22, 2005, 5:30 P.M. PLACE AND DATE Marana Town Hall, February 22,2005 I. CALL TO ORDER By Vice Mayor Kai at 5:35 p.rn. The study session was held informally and no official roll call was given. Mayor Sutton was excused from the study session. All Council Members were present and seated at the dais. II. GENERAL ORDER OF BUSINESS 1. Presentation: Aquifer-Storage and Land-Subsidence Monitoring in the Tucson Active Management Area Report (Continued from the meeting of February 15, 2005) (Brad DeSpain) Brad DeSpain addressed the Council and introduced David Schmerge of the U.S. Geological Survey. Mr. Schmerge noted that Marana had joined the monitoring program in 2003 and his presentation focused on the results since then. Mr. Schmerge stated that the practical reasons for monitoring were resource management and scientific evaluation. Groundwater depletion causes land subsidence. Gravity measurements are used to measure aquifer storage. Elevation is also a major factor. He gave a brief explanation of the equipment that was used to gather the data. He showed the Council where the tests were completed from Spring 2003 to Spring 2004 and explained the map to the Council. He stated that overall, the rate of loss was about the same - half a foot, and that loss over the entire area and the average loss was half a foot. The loss for the past couple of years had remained about the same, but steadily decreasing. In central and northern A vra Valley there was a storage gain; in southern Avra Valley, where Tucson Water was pumping, there was a storage loss. Overall, it was a gain of about 70,000 acre feet. Mr. Schmerge indicated to Council where the subsidence was occurring. Tucson Water had greatly reduced the pumping of the central well-field so that it was possible that in time there would be an increase in that area. If groundwater depletion was stopped, the subsidence would be reduced. He explained that there was room for more coverage in Avra Valley and that in the future they would look at the area more closely. He indicated that there was a surge in the area of the Pima Mine Recharge facility. Discussion was held about the Cortaro area and the level there. Mr. Schmerge did not have an answer as to why there was so much depletion in that area. 2. Presentation: Vanderbilt Farms Community Facilities District (Roy Cuaron) Mr. Cuaron addressed the Council and gave a brief introduction. He said that this item was intended come before the Council on March 15,2005. He noted that the applicants had experience in developing master planned communities. The area is approximately 491 acres, and the infrastructure was expected to be phased in over 15 years. The cost of 1 TOWN OF MARANA STUDY SESSION 13251 N. LON ADAMS ROAD FEBRUARY 22, 2005, 5:30 P.M. the public infrastructure is estimated to be about $10.5 million. Staff would seek a bond authorization for about three times that amount. The Council could expect to see a development agreement similar to Gladden Farms. Mr. Reuwsaat asked Mr. Barr to address the public good regarding this project. Mr. Barr noted that the Council had indicated to staff that it was important to get the infrastructure and public roadwork in a timely fashion, in order to avoid situations somewhat like Cortaro Road. The idea of the Community Facilities District was to accelerate the work. The application was tentatively scheduled for 2006. Discussion was held about the costs that a homeowner would have to pay and how they would be paid - rather than in a mortgage it would be paid in the property tax. It would take the value of the infrastructure out of the house price and into the bond price. There could be a question of tangible benefit and what the residents would actually get for what they were paying for. 3. Presentation of Cortaro-Silverbell District Park and Gladden Farms Neighborhood Park Master Plan (Ron Smith) Mr. Smith addressed the Council and gave a brief introduction, indicating that staff was at the master planning stage for both of the parks. The first was Cortaro and Silverbell, which was very similar to what they had in the past, with the exception that due to archaeological reasons, one side would be left alone. There would be four ball fields, two soccer fields, a group ramada area, open turf, a dog park, a splash park, and open area for if they decided to build a multigenerational recreation center there. Mr. Smith responded to questions and explained what a splash park was. It would be built on a non-slip surface. The kids could play there rather than a swimming pool. Mr. Reuwsaat said that there would be about 450 parking spots; he also pointed out the library site. Mr. Smith said that the construction drawings would take six to nine months to complete; with funding they would be able to start moving the last quarter of fiscal year 2005-2006. Mr. Reuwsaat explained that they still do not have the Corps of Engineers permit. They were presently working on the archeological verification, and staff was looking at other avenues to finance the park. Mr. Smith explained that the Master Plan for Gladden Farms was before the Council also. He said that the park was very simple but also useful. There were a couple of multi-use parks, tot lots, playgrounds, several groves of trees, and restrooms. They were meeting the Town's needs that were part of the Master Planned Santa Cruz Linear Park. Eventually, the Santa Cruz Trail would go all the way through the park. He clarified that the ball fields were not lighted. If they chose to have the fields lighted it would be at the Town's expense and would have to go in before the houses were built. Mr. Smith responded to questions from the Council and said that there were not basketball courts but that there would be ramadas. Mr. Barr pointed out that Gladden Farms had pocket parks in the subdivisions where there were things like basketball courts. Mr. Reuwsaat pointed out that there would be additional transportation infrastructure at the west end. Council Member Honea pointed out that the number one activity he had noticed was basketball. He did not want to have to go back later and upgrade the park. Council 2 TOWN OF MARANA STUDY SESSION 13251 N. LON ADAMS ROAD FEBRUARY 22,2005,5:30 P.M. Member Comerford suggested that they really scrutinize the park. There was nothing wrong with the Town of Marana going back and saying that they also wanted other things. Council Member Honea expressed concerns that this park did not offer enough amenities. Mr. Smith responded to questions and said that Little League ran exclusively at Ora Mae Harn Park. In the future they would have to go to other parks. Council Member Escobedo pointed out that this was preliminary and Gladden Farms had been willing to work with the Town. He said that they could always add amenities. Council Member Blake asked if this was a 40-acre park; Mr. Smith estimated that this was 20-25 acres. Mr. Reuwsaat informed the Council that 6 acres of park were required for every 1,000 residents by the current standards. He said that they would have other opportunities in the immediate area to provide for the other activities. Mr. Reuwsaat explained that staff was looking at increased impact fees for parks and roads for future development of parks. The sooner the impact fee ordinance was approved the sooner the funding would be available. Mr. Smith explained that Gladden Farms' commitment to the Town was as seen. Planning and Parks staff would be working together to look at parcels where they could build the 40 acre parks. 4. Presentation: DeGrood) Regional Transportation Project Priorities for Marana (Jim Mr. DeGrood addressed the Council and presented a slide show that he had previously given at the Regional Transportation Authority's Technical and Management Subcommittee. The committee had requested that every jurisdiction do this. He said that he presented to the committee that the Council had already identified the regional routes. He identified specifically the Twin Peaks Corridor, Tangerine Road, Thornydale Road, Ina Road, Avra Valley Road and Marana Road. These were shown on PAG's five-year program. He briefly explained each of the priorities to the Council. He wanted to make sure that they knew that the Town expected to contribute over $170 million to the projects. Mr. Reuwsaat stated that most of the other jurisdictions were looking at roadway improvements for existing deficiencies. The Town's needs were significantly different. He felt reasonably confident that these were the high priorities that would meet most of the future needs. What they would need to present to the electorate was a sense of the projects that would have an immediate benefit if it went to the voters in May 2006. They were going to focus on the first four projects and then later would look at the other projects. They would bring back before Council a list of final projects. This was the first attempt to show what was on the Town's plate. Staff would update the Council once or twice more during the process. Additional discussion was held on the funding and growth of the Town of Mar ana. 5. Discussion of options for a non-smoking ordinance (Mike Reuwsaat) Mr. Reuwsaat addressed the Council and said that work had previously been done on smoking ordinances and staff had looked at what was done in the community. He said that the example Council had before them was Pima County's smoking ordinance. 3 TOWN OF MARANA STUDY SESSION 13251 N. LON ADAMS ROAD FEBRUARY 22, 2005, 5:30 P.M. Staff had gone through and reformatted the ordinance to bullet the separate sections. He explained Pima County's ordinance and listed some exemptions. He discussed the ordinance as it related to restaurants. One issue was that they did not want the Police to have to enforce the smoking ordinance. He said that they could do an IGA and have the County's health department enforce the ordinance, subject to approval. Discussion was held about the hardship phase. Less than 30% of the restaurants in the Town of Marana were allowing smoking. Discussion was held about Cracker Barrel Restaurant and the smoking area. Mr. Barr said that staff would want to go back to the beginning and get a feel from the business community once direction was received from the Council. Council Member Honea suggested that the first step, since they would be looking into an IGA with Pima County for enforcement it would be a good idea to keep the IGA similar to the County's to facilitate enforcement. Mr. Reuwsaat said staff would move forward at this point and go forward to the Chamber of Commerce and businesses for input. I.

CALL TO THE PUBLICI ANNOUNCEMENTS Jane Howell addressed the Council and said Lisa Jones, HR Manager, would introduce the newest Human Resources employee. She distributed a brochure MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL MARCH 1, 2005 that he had put together for job fairs. Lisa Jones introduced Tommy Yamasaki, Human Resources Analyst. He started work on January 24, 2005. Tommy is working on a master's degree. He came to Marana from private industry; he had also worked for the University of Arizona. Ron Smith addressed the Council and gave an update on the Founder's Day Event, March 18 through March 20, beginning with the Marana timed rodeo. The title sponsor is Northwest Hospital; Wells Fargo Bank, a contributing sponsor, will bring their stage coach which Council Members can ride on. Entertainment starts at noon and lasts until 8:00 pm. Sunday there will be barrel racing and mounted shooters. Mayor Sutton asked if he was introducing a new employee. Mr. Smith said that Kristy Diaz- Trahan, the new recreation superintendent, would be introduced at the next Council meeting. Mike Mencinger addressed the Council and introduced a new employee, Patrick Cochran. Mr. Cochran introduced himself to the Council. He had been a resident of Marana for 23 years and would be bringing expertise in the field of HV AC. Jocelyn Bronson addressed the Council and introduced a new employee, Tim Mattix, the new Records and Elections Coordinator. He comes from the City of Tucson and is working on revamping the records management process. Mayor Sutton noted that there will be a Town election March 8, 2005. The Council Members in the election, with their strong history, vision and support from the community, would be running unopposed, but that referendum was based on the previous vote, and he urged residents to vote and support the community. The Town Clerk addressed the Council and said she had flyers of the polling locations in Marana for distribution after the meeting. She said she had been doing some voter outreach at various civic meetings. VIII. STAFF REPORTS There were no staff reports. IX. GENERAL ORDER OF BUSINESS A. CONSENT AGENDA There were no consent items presented to the Council for consideration. B. COUNCIL ACTION 1. For information only: Announcing the Marana Police Department's MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL MARCH 1, 2005 participation in a multi-disciplinary Drug Enforcement Administration Tucson Task Force by the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with the United States Department of Justice. (Richard Vidaurri) Chief Vidaurri addressed the Council and announced that Marana had been asked to participate in the Drug Enforcement Tucson Task Force. Marana would lose an individual for a three-year assignment, but would gain a tremendous amount of training and an additional squad, if not a number of individual officers, from around the City that would be part of the project. 2. For information only: Announcing the award to the Marana Police Department of a law enforcement block grant from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (Richard Vidaurri) Chief Vidaurri addressed the Council and said the Marana Police Department had been awarded a grant from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission in the amount of $4,286. They were now part of the Northwest Expansion Victim Witness Program of the Pima County Attorney's Office, and would use the grant money to purchase one of the digital radios currently in use. 3. Resolution No. 2005-24: Relating to Police; approving and authorizing the execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement with Pima County concerning a Regional Special Weapons and Tactics Team. (Richard Vidaurri) Chief Vidaurri addressed the Council and said that the Marana Police Department would be participating in the Pima County Regional Special Weapons and Tactic Team (SWATT). In the past it had been difficult for small agencies to get funding to develop their own SW A T team. This would be the largest SWAT team in Southern Arizona. There were over 100 members from around the County. This showed the partnership that Marana had involved itself in in the community. The Marana Police Department had assigned four members to the team but would gain an additional 100 members to respond to a major crisis within the Town limits. Town Manager Reuwsaat asked if there were four officers assigned to it. Chief Vidaurri answered that three officers and one supervisor would be assigned. Council Member Escobedo asked if those officers assigned to the unit would continue working in Marana. Chief Vidaurri answered that SWAT participation came secondary to actual duty, to answer calls for service. MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL MARCH 1, 2005 Upon motion by Council Member McGorray, seconded by Council Member Escobedo, Resolution No. 2005-24 was unanimously approved. 4. Resolution No. 2005-23: Relating to Sales Tax; authorizing reimburse- ment to Pima County of Town of Marana sales tax for the purchase and installation of a package wastewater treatment plant for the Marana wastewater management facility. (Roy Cuaron) Mr. Reuwsaat addressed the Council and said that Pima County had issued an award for the purchase of a needed packaged wastewater treatment plant. They asked for a waiver on construction sales tax to cut the cost for them. Staff would research the sales tax actually paid and received by the Town for the purchase/installation of that plant. This was for the benefit of the citizens, and a part of the good relationship with Pima County. Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member Blake, Resolution No. 2005-23 was unanimously approved. 5. Ordinance No. 2005.08; Relating to Annexation; extending and increasing the corporate limits of the Town of Marana, Arizona, by annexing certain Cortaro Farms Road right-of-way located adjacent to existing Town limits and between Cerius Stravenue and the centerline of Hartman Lane in Section 26, Township 12 South, Range 12 East, Gila and Salt River Meridian. (Frank Cassidy) Frank Cassidy addressed the Council and said this annexation of Pima County right-of-way was on Cortaro Farms Road, between the railroad tracks and Hartman Lane. This would facilitate the construction of the roadway. Upon motion by Council Member McGorray, seconded by Council Member Blake, Ordinance No. 2005.08 was unanimously approved. 6. PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2005.09: Relating to Development; rezoning 845 acres of land from /lR-144" to zone /IF" and creating the Sanders Grove Specific Plan on property located east of Sanders Road, south of Hardin Road, east of Kirby Hughes and north of Marana Road. (Barbara Berlin) Barbara Berlin addressed the Council and said this item rezoned 845 acres from R-144 to F and created the Sanders Grove Specific Plan. This item had been continued from the meeting of December 21, 2004 due to transportation and traffic issues as well as residential design. Both of those issues had been addressed. For transportation, Kirby Hughes Road had been reinstated from Wentz Road to the 1-10 Frontage road. There would MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL MARCH 1, 2005 be a third party review of the proposed street layout in coordination with the town center planning completed before any plats were issued. The residential standards were expanded and embellished thoroughly. She recommended that item 21 be removed from the proposed ordinance because the developer was entering into a voluntary agreement with Marana Unified School District. Mayor Sutton asked if anyone wished to speak. Seeing no one he moved the public hearing opened and closed. Council Member Honea asked if he should modify the motion to include the revisions. Jaret Barr addressed the Council and explained that the Council had revisions before them. The revisions as a whole could be mentioned in the motion. Council Member Honea said he wanted to add participation in affordable housing. The Council and senior staff had talked about affordable housing and about large developers including a specific number of affordable housing in their projects. He wanted to put a fee on each lot for the affordable housing and community development program. The fee would go to the older communities that would be surrounded by the new, massive developments. They would collect the revenue and buy lots or purchase houses that needed to be refurbished through a non-profit organization to help upgrade older communities. Mr. Barr answered that staff could bring forward a study or some material based on other affordable housing programs throughout the region and the country. Staff had discussed ways to provide incentives to build more affordable housing in the area, to make sure that families that had lived in the area for generations would be able to stay. A clause could be added to the motion that though the specific plan was approved they were not precluded from the fee or study in the future. Mr. Reuwsaat addressed the Council and said this would be town-wide, and would allow staff to update neighborhoods that were contiguous or close to the projects. Michael Racy, on behalf of Diamond Ventures, addressed the Council and said that Diamond Ventures was willing to work with the Town of Marana on a community wide application of affordable housing. Mayor Sutton asked the Town Attorney if the verbiage was clear. Mr. Cassidy said they needed to add something that said nothing about the approval would keep the Town from applying a new affordable housing program to the plan. MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL MARCH 1, 2005 Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member McGorray, Ordinance No. 2005.09, with the inclusion of the revisions and the verbiage regarding the affordable housing program and the removal of condition 21, was unanimously approved. 7. Resolution No. 2005-25: Relating to Capital Improvement Projects; approving and authorizing the Loan Repayment Agreement between the Arizona Transportation Board and the Town of Marana for Project No. 2002-58; Thornydale Road, Orange Grove Road to the Canada del Oro Wash (Harvey Gill) Harvey Gill addressed the Council and said that the Public Works Department had applied to the Arizona Transportation Board for a help loan in the amount of $7 million to advance the construction of Thornydale Road. The principal and interest repayment would be made over a five- year period with two payments per year. The Town had successfully programmed $6.8 in the tip toward repayment of the principal. The remaining principal and interest would occur in the CIP over the next five years. The interest would be approximately $616,000 based on an interest rate of 3.5% and the unpaid balance each time a loan payment was made. The interest rate was based on 3.5%, but he understood that the interest rate when it closed would be less than 3.5%. Mr. Reuwsaat said this was part of the five-year transportation program the Council had approved. Mr. Gill said the plans would be completed this year and the notice to proceed would go out January 2, 2006. Upon motion by Vice Mayor Kai, seconded by Council Member Blake, Resolution No. 2005-25 was unanimously approved. 8. Resolution No. 2005-17: Relating to Development; approving a Preliminary Plat for Ina and Silverbell (Barbara Berlin) Barbara Berlin addressed the Council and said the subdivision was at the southwest corner of Ina and Silverbell. The Planning Commission recommended approval on December 15, 2004. Vice Mayor Kai asked if it was a septic system or part of Pima County's system. Ms. Berlin answered that they would be hooked up to the County. Vice Mayor Kai asked if the streets would continue to carry through or if that would be addressed later. Mr. Reuwsaat answered that the neighbors did not want that access. This was a requirement to meet the needs of the adjacent neighborhoods. MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL MARCH 1, 2005 Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member McGorray, Resolution No. 2005-17 was unanimously approved. 9. Resolution No. 2005-21: Relating to Development; approving a Preliminary Plat for Gladden Farms Block 21 (Barbara Berlin) Ms. Berlin addressed the Council and said the Planning Commission recommended approval on January 26,2005. Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member Blake, Resolution No. 2005-21 was unanimously approved. 10. Resolution No. 2005-22: Relating to Development; approving a Preliminary Plat for Gladden Farms Block 2 (Barbara Berlin) Barbara Berlin addressed the Council and said the Planning Commission recommended approval on December 15, 2004. Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member McGorray, Resolution No. 2005-22 was unanimously approved. Mr. Reuwsaat informed the Council that these blocks were part of phase II of Gladden Farms. Staff would have discussions with Vanderbilt Farms to look at interim improvements. There were numerous meetings to expedite the loop road being built. 11. State Legislative Issues: DiscussionjDirectionj Action regarding all pending bills before the Legislature (Mike Reuwsaat) Mr. Reuwsaat reported that the referendum bill was moving through. There was additional legislation to raise court fines and take 75 % of the increase from the Town. Mayor Sutton asked if the Council needed to know anything now. Mr. Racy answered that the referendum signature bill was moving to caucus and the floor fairly soon. The television franchise bill slowed down but was still a problem. The RTA bill that targeted the Southern Arizona RTA was never heard. c. MAYOR AND COUNCIL'S REPORT Council Member Escobedo reported that a group of international facility managers met at the new municipal complex. They had toured what was completed. MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL MARCH 1, 2005 D. MANAGERS' REPORT Mr. Reuwsaat reported that the courts and police moved in to the new facility, and the employee morale escalated with the new work environment. He said that he, Brad DeSpain, Frank Cassidy, and an outside attorney would be meeting with ABWR staff on cap allocation and would then go to Phoenix to talk about the assured water supply and replenishment issues related to the non-potable water system. He said that Vern Swaback would be having meetings at Dove Mountain, in northern Marana, and at Continental Ranch to discuss and get community input on the Town Center. Council Member Escobedo recommended people drive down Civic Center Drive to get an idea of what it would look like when completed. X. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS There were none. XI.

CALL TO ORDER By Mayor Sutton at 9:20 a.m. The study session was held informally and no official roll call was given. II. GENERAL ORDER OF BUSINESS 1. Proposed Residential Design Standards discussion and Town Center Planning discussion by Vern Swaback & Associates Mr. Reuwsaat introduced the topics for consideration at the study session and noted that both items agendized would be discussed concurrently as one item. According to Mr. Reuwsaat, the purpose the study session was to present options and then solidify what Council wants to see occur with residential design standards. Then the consultant would redraft what is currently before Council and bring it back for further review and discussion. Mayor Sutton reiterated that the study session was to resolve what Council likes and doesn't like in terms of building design for the town core as well as for all future developments in Marana. At this time, Vern Swaback recapped the history of his experience with standards and developer interests. Mr. Swaback stressed that Council's vision will represent commitment to the future; Council must direct the path of growth, not vice versa. What must dominate is a long-term vision of a sustainable community, noting that the demands of the community include diversity. Another factor should be to provide shared amenities, which can lower costs but not quality. Jeff Denzak, an associate with Swaback & Associates, further emphasized that agreed-upon standards are the foundation for future progress. The Swaback presentation focused on ideas to help bring the Council's VISlOn together to eliminate the standard production house of all street-fronted garages and to integrate creativity into the unique community. The proposed standards would incorporate parks and open spaces into the overall design rather than use leftover or unusable parcels for park sites. Other features of the sustainable community plan included paths and trails to link neighborhoods and perimeter landscaping and walls as part of buffer zones that screen properties. Streetscapes and vehicle and pedestrian circulation patterns were also addressed as a necessary component to design standards. Further discussion was held regarding the need to prevent houses from looking boxy. Mr. Barr indicated that there was discrepancy between the elevations and the floor-plans which needed to be addressed. At this point in the session, Ms. Berlin indicated that staff must now deal with some important internal management issues in terms of when they would have an ordinance to go to public hearing. Mr. Reuwsaat said there was no reason they couldn't have them (consultants and developers) work with staff. It would be tough to come to a prescriptive set of standards where a TOWN OF MARANA STUDY SESSION MARANA TOWN HALL MARCH 12,2005 developer could come in and determine whether or not it would work. It was further noted that with the first few projects especially they would have to put the resources to it to make sure they were done right. As part of the issues they had identified it would include more information in terms of the architectural components so that they would have examples of what not to do. Mr. Reuwsaat said that they went with the NRP A standard. The concept was a combination of smaller nodes and the larger regional. The bottom line was that they would have to look at the standards. Mr. Denzak summarized the study session, noting that Swaback would provide the Town with copies of to day's information, of the consensus questions that the group agreed with, and they would continue to work with Town Staff as well as developers if requested. They would have a meeting coming up that would include information on Town Center elements such as transportation corridors. III.
