Upon motion by Council Member Comerford, seconded by Council Member McGorray, the
consent agenda was unanimously approved.
B. COUNCIL ACTION
1. Presentation: Casa Seville Specific Plan (Barbara Berlin)
Barbara Berlin gave a brief introduction of the project, located at the Southwest Comer of
Tangerine and Camino de Oeste. She introduced Jon Thomas, the developer.
......~- ....
Mr. Thomas addressed the Council and introduced Linda West, the realtor and marketing
ãgerit for the project. Mr. Thomas showed the Council the concept boards for the project
design. He and Ms. West pointed out washes in the area. Ms. West said that the
development would target baby boomers and retirees. The price per home would be
approximately $500,000 to $600,000. The main access would be off of Camino De
Oeste.
2. Public Hearin2: Ordinance No. 2005.10: Relating to Development; approving a
rezoning of 20 acres of land from Zone "C" to Zone "HI" south of Tangerine Road
and east of Breakers Road (Barbara Berlin)
Ms. Berlin addressed the Council and gave a brief introduction to the item, which was
adjacent to the Breakers Road easement. This project is for development of a landscape
or contractor's yard. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval on
January 26, 2005.
Ms. Berlin responded to questions from the Council, noting that if the owner sold the
property the zoning designation would not change. Ms. Berlin said that the buffer to the
east would be 30 feet because it was between two districts. She also noted that there
were no residential property owners close enough to be affected by the noise.
Discussion was held regarding the Breakers easement. Council Member Honea
expressed concern about the traffic on the road with the Breakers opening soon. Frank
Cassidy, Town Attorney, addressed the Council and stated that the Town did not
maintain the road and did not have the authority to maintain a private easement. In terms
of policing, the Town could be called to accidents on the road. The Town would not
have liability for that easement. It was not required to meet the ToWn's standards.
Council Member Honea said that there was a road that had been put in when Breakers
moved in. He said he thought that if they allowed heavy equipment to come in there they
needed a maintenance agreement. Ms. Berlin stated that construction requirements
would be to adequate standards to the type of usage.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated that he was not aware of a maintenance agreement as a requirement
before. He said that this was only an access easement. Again, Council Member Honea
replied that this could be a fairly heavily used road for several businesses. Mr. Reuwsaat
said that they had discussed an agreement with the Breakers. The Breakers had taken on
some responsibility with the road but there was no motivation for them to take the whole
road.
Mayor Sutton asked if there was anyone who wished to speak at the Public Hearing.
Hearing. There being none, he declared the Public Hearing opened and closed.

MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA TO\VN HALL
APRIL 5, 2005
Jack Neubeck from The Planning Center spoke on behalf of the applicant. He showed
the Council exactly where the project was located. He said that there was a 24 foot right-
of-way that was dedicated to the Town on the Breakers easement. The applicant would
like to see an improvement district done on it. The access would be on another road that
would meet Town standards. The applicant agreed with the conditions as set forth.
Mayor Sutton pointed out that the Town never had leverage to get this road fixed. He
said that someone would have to take the burden. He asked if this was the time the Town
should go in and force an improvement district and develop the road. Half the road being
done was a good start. Mr. Cassidy said that there were hurdles to every option for the
road. He pointed out that there could not be an improvement district if there was a
- -protest of more than fifty percent of the property owners. He said the Town could
condemn it, but that raised questions also, including funding. He said health and safety
could condemn but would not authorize the Town to impose the financial obligation of
the road after the fact. Council Member Comerford said that those affected were the
families that drove on the road to the Breakers. Mr. Reuwsaat said that if the Town were
only working with the Breakers it could be done. If they wanted to get it up to standard
they would have to step up to it and bear the costs. The cost would be approximately
$1.5 million dollars to get the road to Town standards.
Council Member Honea asked that if the right-of-way would then be dedicated back to
the Town and if there was an inherent liability. Mr. Cassidy answered that there would
be. He recommended the Town not accept it. Mr. Reuwsaat pointed out that the
condition said "to Town standards"; the Town would not allow a substandard road to go
in. For tonight, this requirement was adequate enough to go forward. Staff could then go
back and work with business owners on the rest of the road.
Mr. Cassidy pointed out an error in the language. It was a 24 foot wide road, not 24
linear feet. The Council would have to make a policy decision on whether or not to fix
the road. 'Mayor Sutton said he saw it the opposite way: If anything came in with a
permit it would have a fee attached to it and nothing would be done until they paid their
share. Mr. DeGrood said that part of the deterioration of the road was the preparatory
work on the property between the Breakers and the Park and Shade project. That
property had not fulfilled their obligation to the road. Mr. Cassidy said that once they
came for their permit they would have to pay their fair share.
Mayor Sutton asked about the project before the Council. Mr. Neubeck suggested
making some alterations to Condition 2. He said that should an improvement district
form later this would be their contribution. They could also put something in about a
maintenance agreement until it was to the standard the Town would be willing to accept.
Mayor Sutton asked if everyone agreed with the condition as Mr. Neubeck had read it.
Mr. Reuwsaat agreed with the condition. Mayor Sutton said he wasn't sure about the
maintenance agreement; he did not want this developer have to take more than their
share. Council Member Blake asked if this could be tied in to business licenses. Mr.
Cassidy replied that it could not. However, a business could be closed down for being
unsafe through the normal health and safety of the Town. Mr. Cassidy suggested that this
item be continued to the end of the agenda so that staff could work out proper wording.
Upon motion by Mayor Sutton, seconded by Council Member Comerford, the item was
unanimously approved to be continued to the end of the agenda.

3. Presentation: Development impact fees for Townwide Parks and Northwest Marana
Roadways (Jim DeGrood)
Jim DeGrood, Assistant Town Manager, gave a slide show presentation that explained
the next two items on the agenda. He noted that as part of the process, the effective date
would take place 90 days after approval by the Council. He explained that the Town had
looked to see if the standards were too high; and as a result, the fees were lowered.
Alex Jacome, from Southern Arizona Homebuilders Association, addressed the Council
and said impact fees went on the mortgage and were paid for during the life of the
mortgage. He thanked the Town for delaying the item to allow for review. He said they
-retained outside consultants to assist; and noted that several concessions had been made.
He hoped that the Town would continue to keep SAHBA in the loop. He commended
Marana for its foresight and vision and said that staff had been forthcoming. The result
was a plan that was fair, met the requirement of nexus and illustrated the progressive
direction the Town desired.
Mayor Sutton pointed out that this was different than other municipalities; SAHBA had
always been there supporting the Town. It had been a good working relationship.
4. Ordinance No. 2005.11: Relating to Development; identifying the Marana Park
Benefit Area, accepting and approving the technical report identifying park needs
within that area, adopting park development impact fees for that area, and
providing an effective date (Jim DeGrood)
Council Member Honea asked why there was a 90 day delay before the ordinances would
become effective. Mr. DeGrood responded that it was required in the statutes. The 90
days allowed someone under contract or contemplating buying a home to have notice of
the impact fees.
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member McGorray, the
ordinance was unanimously approved.
5. Ordinance No. 2005.12: Relating to Development; identifying the Northwest
Marana Transportation Benefit Area, accepting and approving the technical report
identifying the roadway needs within the benefit area, adopting roadway
development impact fees for that area, and providing an effective date (Jim
DeGrood)
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Vice Mayor Kai, the ordinance
was unanimously approved.
6. State Le2islative Issues: Discussion/Direction/Action regarding all pending bills
before the Legislature (Michael Racy)
Mr. Reuwsaat addressed the Council and explained that Mr. Racy had intended to present
his report to Council in person but that Mr. Racy's son was ill. He noted that the
tracking report had been placed on the dais for Council. Mayor Sutton said that if anyone
had questions they could contact Mr. Racy.
The Town Council went into recess at 8: 1 0 p.m. as staff continued working on the
revision to Ordinance No. 2005.10. The Council reconvened at 8:20 p.m.

Public Hearin2: Ordinance No. 2005.10: Relating to Development; approving a
rezoning of 20 acres of land from Zone "C" to Zone "HI" south of Tangerine Road
and east of Breakers Road (Barbara Berlin) (Continued after the recess)
- ......-...-=-
Mr. Cassidy read the revision to Condition 2 into the record. "Prior to the Town's
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any structure within the rezoning area, the
property owner shall construct a new 24 foot wide paved roadway with a structural cross
section acceptable to the Town Engineer in what is commonly known as the Breakers
Road Easement, from Tangerine Road to the east-west lateral access point for the
proposed project, a distance of approximately 1300 linear feet. The property owner shall
- maiñtain the section of roadway constructed by the property owner to standards generally
consistent with those for public roadways. If an improvement district is formed by the
Town for construction or improvement of a public roadway in the Breakers Road
Easement the property owner shall not protest the formation of the improvement district,
and the property owner's fair share contribution to the improvement district shall be
credited to the extent of the permanent Breakers Road improvements constructed by the
property owner."
Mr. Neubeck said the applicant approved of the condition. Vice Mayor Kai asked what
would happen to the rest of the road. Mayor Sutton said this revised condition would be
leverage to get that done. This would allow the project to go forward.
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Vice Mayor Kai, the ordinance
was unanimously approved as revised.
c. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORT
Vice Mayor Kai reported that he had attended a ground breaking ceremony for a multi-
species con'servation plan that the Federal Government had committed $330 million
dollars. The money would be used to maintain the life on the river and would prevent the
shutdown of the river.
Mayor Sutton thanked stafffor working on the State ofthe Town address. He said it was
well-received by the community and developers.

Sandy Groseclose, Marana Arts Council (MAC) Executive Director, presented the
Council with photographs of the Honea Heights Water Tank which had been
recently adorned with a mural through the MAC Water Tank Beautification
Project. She thanked the Council members and Brad DeSpain for their outstanding
support and assistance on the initial kickoff of this MAC project. Ms. Groseclose
explained that the western motif depicted cattle and a cowboy in silhouette and

Brian Jones, who is also the MAC President. She concluded by thanking the Honea
Heights neighborhood for allowing MAC to begin this project in their area.
Brad DeSpain, representing the Town employees at large, thanked the Council for

Operations Center (MOC). He said that everyone was very appreciative to the
Council for their gift of the holiday luncheon.
Ed Stolmaker, Marana Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, spoke before
the Council to thank them for their support throughout 2004. He said that the
Chamber was moving along in a positive direction and could not have achieved
all of its goals without the Town's solid support.
Darice Larriva-Johnson, the Parks and Recreation department's Recreation
Coordinator for Youth Programs, spoke to the Council regarding an award the
Superstar Student program recently received from The Arizona Parks and
Recreation Association, the Leisure Benefits Professional Branch. She said it was
for the most outstanding program in 2004 and she distributed a handout
describing the program. Ms. Larriva-Johnson explained that the Town was
working in partnership with the Marana Unified School District (MUSD) on this
program and that the primary funder was the Kai Family Foundation as well as
other local businesses.

Mayor Sutton presented a gift basket and proclamation to Karl Horvath, longtime

the first row of the new municipal complex's Council Chambers and would be
inscribed with the following: "In Appreciation of Karl Horvath, Loyal Citizen and
Friend, December 21, 2004" .
Council Member Escobedo thanked everyone for the enormous amount of

B. COUNCIL ACTION
1. PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2004.25: Relating to Development;
approving the rezoning of 845-acres of land from J/R-144" to zone J/F" and
creating the Sanders Grove Specific Plan on property located east of
Sanders Road, south of Hardin Road, east of Wentz Road and north of
Marana (Barbara Berlin)
Ms. Berlin addressed the Council and gave a brief outline of the rezoning
request. She noted that it had been recommended for approval in
November by the Planning Commission. She said that the recommendation
carried with it a number of conditions, several of which had not yet been
fulfilled such as the residential design standards and the completion of the
development agreement. She said that until those items were submitted by
the developer that she recommended continuance of the rezoning request
until January 2005.
Mayor Sutton asked if the applicant's representative would like to address
the Council.
Michael Racy, Diamond Ventures consultant, spoke before the Council
regarding the rezoning request. He reminded the Council of his lengthy
overview of the Sanders Grove project earlier in the month at a study
session. He said that he would like to go over a few things that had
occurred since the December 7th Study Session and noted that an initial
draft of conceptual residential design standards had been submitted to the
Assistant Town Manager. He said that the standards would be refined even
further for full staff review and analysis in January.

MARANA TOWN HALL
DECEMBER 21, 2004
He added that a number of neighborhood meetings had taken place
recently as well as meetings with individual residents and property owners
in the Kirby-Hughes/Wentz Roads area. He said that the topic of
discussion was the substantial changes proposed for the realignment of the
roadway. He noted that discussions regarding new ideas for the
development's incoming traffic were ongoing.
Upon motion by Council Member Escobedo, seconded by Council Member
McGorray, approval to go into public hearing was unanimous.
Joe Parsons, lifelong resident and Marana Stockyards co-owner, spoke
before the Council regarding this issue. He said that he and his neighbors
wanted it on the record that they were not happy with the prospect of
losing Kirby-Hughes Road. He recounted that the area residents were
fearful of the potential cattle truck traffic on Wentz Road when the Marana
Stockyards first opened and that his company had made a point of keeping
the trucks routed down Kirby-Hughes Road. He acknowledged that new
growth was inevitable and that he and other residents had been working
with Mr. Racy on acceptable solutions to the roadway problems. However,
he said that they were still not content or satisfied with the proposed plans
and pointed out that the new route would add approximately 1.5 miles to
each trip translating into an additional cost of $2.50 per mile per truck for
his business. He said that he was looking to Diamond Ventures to offset
some of these expenses. He predicted that the Marana Stockyards had
possibly 15 to 20 more years of operation left with the growth in Arizona
before the ranches were well stabilized. He remarked that the 50noran
Desert Conservation Plan had icnluded the ranching industry a very
important partner in the plan and this fact had also been proven by Pima
County who had purchased several conservation easements in order to
allow the land to stay as ranches. He asked that the Town staff and the
developer study his business operations and not to interfere with the
current residents but allow the trucks the freedom to come and go during
all hours of the day and night. He explained that the cattle business was not
simply an 8 to 5 business and that trucks were being loaded sometimes at
11:00 or 12:00 at night so that they could deliver the livestock in Los
Angeles at dawn the following day. He said that he and other residents had
been working with Diamond Ventures and Mr. Racy to resolve these issues
and hoped that the TOM would be involved as well so that they would be
aware of any deals made between the developer and the property owners.

MARANA TOWN HALL
DECEMBER 21,2004
Kathleen Clark, longtime Wentz and Kirby-Hughes resident, expressed her
concern with the possible closing of Kirby-Hughes Road. She said that it
was an established roadway for the area and was very convenient. She
acknowledged that she realized the current use of Kirby-Hughes Road by
the livestock trucks was also not practical for the subdivision. She said that
the re-routing of the truck traffic to Hardin Road and down Wentz Road to
Kirby Hughes was not feasible to her either. Ms. Clark pointed out that the
road was not constructed for the heavy traffic and that she would not
welcome the truck noise at all hours of the night. She also agreed with the
sale barn owner that the proposed plans were not acceptable. She remarked
that transportation and where the traffic was routed was very important.
Upon motion by Council Member Escobedo, seconded by Council Member
McGorray, unanimous approval to close the public hearing was given.
Mr. Barr said that he, Mr. DeGrood, Mr. Racy, and Mr. Parsons had met
today and discussed regional transportation issues. He said that one of the
things the Town staff recognized was that, in the community's best interest,
the Town wanted to keep as much of the truck traffic away from residential
uses as possible. He said that eventually as the area grew even Kirby-
Hughes Road would be a problem for the truck traffic and he was hoping
to work with all of the interested parties on the Marana Road to Luckett
Road alignment. He said that at the same time the Town realized that this
solution could cause a financial loss to the Marana Stockyards business and
the Town would like to make amends somehow with the Parsons family.
He said that these types of negotiations and planning were still ongoing
and that he recommended continuance of the item until a date certain,
January 18th.
Council Member Escobedo pointed out that he resided in the close
proximity to the area in question and was very interested in being included
in the planning process.
Vice Mayor Kai expressed his concern about the Sanders Grove project. He
said that he thought it was irresponsible and inappropriate for the Town to
close Kirby-Hughes Road. He said that the roadway was the same as Moore
Road or Grier Road and was an east-west connection to Luckett Road
which would eventually be a major north-south connection to Marana Air
Park Road. He asked that the staff take this concern into consideration.
6
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA TOWN HALL
DECEMBER 21, 2004
Council Member Honea voiced his concerns as well and said that he did
not think the Town could impose hardships on established businesses and
families for newcomers to the area. He said that he understood the concept
of the Sanders Grove Plan but that the families who owned properties
around the sale barn would eventually want to develop their properties as
well. He agreed with the Vice Mayor that access to this area was vital. He
noted that cutting off major arterial streets would be like closing Grier Road
because someone wanted to place a development on the other side. He said
that lots of people used that roadway and considered it a major east-west
transportation corridor. He compared Kirby-Hughes Road in the future to
the current Coachline Boulevard in Continental Ranch, a four-lane divided
road. The Council Member said that eventually the Town would need to
accommodate the roadway to carry some of the increased traffic as the
properties further north and east developed. He said the Town needed to
take the project's entire concept into consideration before any further action
was taken.
Council Member Escobedo added that the staff should consider the
possibility of developing Hardin Road as an arterial roadway as well.
Mr. Barr responded that this concept had been discussed and included an
extension of Hardin Road linking to the other three miles of Hardin Road
that was paved and somehow connecting back to the frontage road.
Mr. Racy said that Diamond Ventures would be happy to have anyone
interested in the project to participate in the planning process. He noted
that a fair ongoing dialogue had been established with the area's property
owners and that this repoire was expected to continue. He said that he
thought it was important to look at all of the aforementioned roadways in a
regional context as the Council had and that he agreed with the Vice Mayor
that it would be irresponsible not to do just that. He pointed out that this
had been the practice of the developer over the past 12 months with a team
of engineers and transportation consultants and that Diamond Ventures
was committed to continuing that process. He also added that the Town
had not designated those roadways as arterial roadways at this point and
that this would be a concept to investigate. Mr. Racy said that in the
meeting today the continuation of the Hardin Road alignment was the main
concept discussed. He explained that the road was paved to the west of
Luckett Road and that it did not currently connect but had an offset at
Luckett Road. He said that there were ways to deal with those types of
roadway issues.

MARANA TOWN HALL
DECEMBER 21, 2004
He said that the Hardin Road connection made sense especially in light of
the proposed new Interstate 10 interchange nearby. Once again the
consultant emphasized the need to look at the roadway issues in a regional
context and to determine what sources of traffic generation were present
and what routes were needed to travel back and forth, all the while
recognizing that the 1-10 frontage road might not exist in the long term.
Mayor Sutton said that he thought the Parsons family could be good
witnesses to the Town's stewardship with the residents in northern
Marana. He noted that the $2.50 per mile cost added to their business
expenses would be more than offset by the rise in their property values in
the next 10 to 15 years as the area developed. He said that there would
always be hardships associated with development and that the Town was
cognizant of this fact. He remarked that the Council was looking out for the
welfare of the majority of the residents and business owners in northwest
Marana. The Mayor asked for a continuance on this item.
Upon motion by Council Member Escobedo, seconded by Vice Mayor Kai,
unanimous approval to continue Ordinance No. 2004.25 until the January
18,2005 Council meeting was given.
2. TORTOLIT A VISTAS SPECIFIC PLAN
(a) PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2004.26: Relating to Zoning; a
request by Cottonwood Properties to rezone approximately 230 acres of
land from R-l44 (Single Family Residential, 144,000 square feet minimum
lot area) to IJF" (Tortolita Vistas Specific Plan). The proposed Tortolita
Vistas Specific Plan proposes to restrict the site disturbance to a
maximum of forty percent of the site (92 acres). The property is generally
located south of Moore Road, east of the Oldfather Road alignment and
west of Thornydale Road in Section 31, Township 11 South, Range 13
East. This proposed action would repeal the Tortolita Vistas Specific Plan
as adopted on July 20, 2004 and replace it with a revised Tortolita Vistas
Specific Plan which, among other things, is proposed for a maximum of
155 units (reduced from 400 in the previously adopted plan) and
minimum individual lot sizes of 32,000 square feet (increased from 6,000
square feet in the previously adopted plan); and
Ms. Berlin presented this item before the Council and gave a brief history of
the project. She said that the proposed plan made a number of changes
including reducing the number of permitted houses from 400 down to 155,
making a major change going from a mass graded plan to an individually
lot grading plan. She said that Town staff was currently in the process of
8
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA TOWN HALL
DECEMBER 21, 2004
working on a development agreement but that an ordinance had not yet
been proposed. She recommended the action for continuance.
Mayor Sutton opened and closed the public hearing as there were no
speakers related to this topic.
Mr. Reuwsaat gave a brief background on the item and said that notices
had been sent out to all petitioners and interested parties. He said that with
the repeal of the ordinance the reason for the referendum was gone and
that there would be no need for a vote. He said that there was some
precedence already set for this action at a State level and that the Town was
not forging new legal ground. He said that Town staff needed time to
review the new specific plan and the recommended conditions and to make
any additional comments that might be necessary. He said that the review
process would begin on January 22nd.
Mayor Sutton said that there were some issues that several Council
members had and that these issues would be discussed when the action
was presented before them at a later date.
Council Member Honea remarked that he believed this plan needed to be
repealed even if the action took place concurrently with the new proposal
and that the action should take place at the next meeting or it would need
to be prepared for the May 2005 ballot. He said that he had asked the
applicant for either a written or verbal request to repeal the ordinance,
preferably a written request, so that the Town would be covered for any
vested rights the applicant had. He said that he was not in favor of
amending the ordinance but that he would like to repeal it.
Mr. Cassidy agreed with the Council member and said that if the Town
wanted to avoid the referendum then repealing the ordinance was the only
way. He said that the Town could not amend the ordinance because that
left it in place and subject to the referendum. He commented that if the
ordinance was not repealed then the referendum had to proceed. He
remarked that one of the questions became whether or not the Town did a
total repeal now and then brought the new rezoning through the entire
process, perhaps on an accelerated basis, or whether the Town did the
repeal and simultaneously adopted a replacement ordinance without send
the action through the whole process. He said that in his opinion it could be
accomplished either way. He stated that he believed that the Town still had
jurisdiction the same as it had on July 20th.
9
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA TOWN HALL
DECEMBER 21, 2004
He pointed out that the new action was also subject to referendum and that
a scenario of having both actions as referendums on the same ballot was
possible. He said that the cleanest way to handle this issue would be to do
an entire repeal as a separate action and bring the rezoning forward as a
separate item.
The Town Attorney reported that he was currently in discussions with the
Cottonwood Properties attorney, Rick Roman, and that a method for
dealing with the double referendum issue was being formulated. He noted
that the legal concepts related to this issue were complicated and very
confusing but that there were technical procedures that could be applied.
Council Member Escobedo said that he had many issues with repealing the
original action. He questioned the message that would be sent to the
petitioners in light of the fact that only 31 signatures were required to begin
the referenda process. He said that he did not want to set any precedents.
Mayor Sutton agreed with Council Member Escobedo and said that
everything would have been much simpler if the two parties had worked
this problem out without beginning the referendum process. He said that
he preferred taking this issue to election and defeating the referendum
action. He noted that this would send the message that Marana residents
supported their Council and were opposed to allowing any outside agency
to run the Town.
David Mehl, applicant, stated his appreciation of the Town's patience and
consideration on this project. He said that he understood that the Town
officials were weighing the quality of what would be the final project
presented for their approval. He said that he felt the current agreement
between the referendum petitioner and the developer was a true
compromise, not a loss or a win, and that the end product would be
spectacular. He said that this would not set a precedent for the future and
that everyone was aware of the fact that the Marana residents were willing
to fight for quality developments.
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member
McGorray, unanimous approval for the continuance of Ordinance No.
2004.26 until January 4,2005 was given.

controlling law of the Town of Marana in conflict therewith, and
declaring an emergency a ack Holden)
Mr. Holden spoke before the Council and briefly outlined the changes to
the Outdoor Lighting Code. He said that the primary problem with the old
code was reducing the pole height for outdoor lighting of parking lots for
projects in less than 6 acres down to 20 feet. He said that this would reduce
the glare in any commercial areas abutting residential areas. He said that
several definitions were added to the code that aided in the plan review
process and directed the design engineers toward the acceptable lighting
standards.
Upon motion by Council Member Escobedo, seconded by Council Member
Honea, Ordinance No. 2004.24 was unanimously approved.

c. MAYOR AND COUNCIL'S REPORT
Vice Mayor Kai reported on his attendance at the Colorado Water Users
Association meeting in Las Vegas last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. He
said that the general topic of discussion was the condition of the water in the
Colorado River with projected 2005 water usage was slightly above the runoff
year and that the current levels in Lake Meade would be maintained. He stated
that 27 desalinization purification plants were operating in California and that
the main problem troubling the environmentalist was not the by- product of
brine but the water intake process. He explained that the water purification
process was bringing fish and kelp into the system possibly causing a negative
environmental impact.
Mayor Sutton reported that Congressman Kolbe and Senator Kyl attended a
recent Regional Transportation Authority (RT A) meeting. He said that Mr.
Reuwsaat and himself would be working on acquiring federal support for the
regional transportation issues.
Council Member Honea thanked Council Member Escobedo for a job well
done on the Miracle in Marana event. He said that

B. COUNCIL ACTION
1. Presentation: Casa Seville Specific Plan (Barbara Berlin)
Barbara Berlin gave a brief introduction of the project, located at the Southwest Comer of
Tangerine and Camino de Oeste. She introduced Jon Thomas, the developer.
Mr. Thomas addressed the Council and introduced Linda West, the realtor and marketing
agent for the project. Mr. Thomas showed the Council the concept boards for the project
design. He and Ms. West pointed out washes in the area. Ms. West said that the
development would target baby boomers and retirees. The price per home would be
approximately $500,000 to $600,000. The main access would be off of Camino De
Oeste.
2. Public Hearin2: Ordinance No. 2005.10: Relating to Development; approving a
rezoning of 20 acres of land from Zone "C" to Zone "HI" south of Tangerine Road
and east of Breakers Road (Barbara Berlin)
Ms. Berlin addressed the Council and gave a brief introduction to the item, which was
adjacent to the Breakers Road easement. This project is for development of a landscape
or contractor's yard. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval on
January 26, 2005.
Ms. Berlin responded to questions from the Council, noting that if the owner sold the
property the zoning designation would not change. Ms. Berlin said that the buffer to the
east would be 30 feet because it was between two districts. She also noted that there
were no residential property owners close enough to be affected by the noise.
Discussion was held regarding the Breakers easement. Council Member Honea
expressed concern about the traffic on the road with the Breakers opening soon. Frank
Cassidy, Town Attorney, addressed the Council and stated that the Town did not
maintain the road and did not have the authority to maintain a private easement. In terms
of policing, the Town could be called to accidents on the road. The Town would not
have liability for that easement. It was not required to meet the Town's standards.
Council Member Honea said that there was a road that had been put in when Breakers
moved in. He said he thought that if they allowed heavy equipment to come in there they
needed a maintenance agreement. Ms. Berlin stated that construction requirements
would be to adequate standards to the type of usage.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated that he was not aware of a maintenance agreement as a requirement
before. He said that this was only an access easement. Again, Council Member Honea
replied that this could be a fairly heavily used road for several businesses. Mr. Reuwsaat
said that they had discussed an agreement with the Breakers. The Breakers had taken on
some responsibility with the road but there was no motivation for them to take the whole
road.
Mayor Sutton asked if there was anyone who wished to speak at the Public Hearing.
Hearing. There being none, he declared the Public Hearing opened and closed.
3
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA TOWN HALL
APRIL 5, 2005
Jack Neubeck from The Planning Center spoke on behalf of the applicant. He showed
the Council exactly where the project was located. He said that there was a 24 foot right-
of-way that was dedicated to the Town on the Breakers easement. The applicant would
like to see an improvement district done on it. The access would be on another road that
would meet Town standards. The applicant agreed with the conditions as set forth.
Mayor Sutton pointed out that the Town never had leverage to get this road fixed. He
said that someone would have to take the burden. He asked if this was the time the Town
should go in and force an improvement district and develop the road. Half the road being
done was a good start. Mr. Cassidy said that there were hurdles to every option for the
road. He pointed out that there could not be an improvement district if there was a
protest of more than fifty percent of the property owners. He said the Town could
condemn it, but that raised questions also, including funding. He said health and safety
could condemn but would not authorize the Town to impose the financial obligation of
the road after the fact. Council Member Comerford said that those affected were the
families that drove on the road to the Breakers. Mr. Reuwsaat said that if the Town were
only working with the Breakers it could be done. If they wanted to get it up to standard
they would have to step up to it and bear the costs. The cost would be approximately
$1.5 million dollars to get the road to Town standards.
Council Member Honea asked that if the right-of-way would then be dedicated back to
the Town and if there was an inherent liability. Mr. Cassidy answered that there would
be. He recommended the Town not accept it. Mr. Reuwsaat pointed out that the
condition said "to Town standards"; the Town would not allow a substandard road to go
in. For tonight, this requirement was adequate enough to go forward. Staff could then go
back and work with business owners on the rest of the road.
Mr. Cassidy pointed out an error in the language. It was a 24 foot wide road, not 24
linear feet. The Council would have to make a policy decision on whether or not to fix
the road. Mayor Sutton said he saw it the opposite way: If anything came in with a
permit it would have a fee attached to it and nothing would be done until they paid their
share. Mr. DeGrood said that part of the deterioration of the road was the preparatory
work on the property between the Breakers and the Park and Shade project. That
property had not fulfilled their obligation to the road. Mr. Cassidy said that once they
came for their permit they would have to pay their fair share.
Mayor Sutton asked about the project before the Council. Mr. Neubeck suggested
making some alterations to Condition 2. He said that should an improvement district
form later this would be their contribution. They could also put something in about a
maintenance agreement until it was to the standard the Town would be willing to accept.
Mayor Sutton asked if everyone agreed with the condition as Mr. Neubeck had read it.
Mr. Reuwsaat agreed with the condition. Mayor Sutton said he wasn't sure about the
maintenance agreement; he did not want this developer have to take more than their
share. Council Member Blake asked if this could be tied in to business licenses. Mr.
Cassidy replied that it could not. However, a business could be closed down for being
unsafe through the normal health and safety of the Town. Mr. Cassidy suggested that this
item be continued to the end of the agenda so that staff could work out proper wording.
Upon motion by Mayor Sutton, seconded by Council Member Comerford, the item was
unanimously approved to be continued to the end of the agenda.

3. Presentation: Development impact fees for Townwide Parks and Northwest Marana
Roadways (Jim DeGrood)
Jim DeGrood, Assistant Town Manager, gave a slide show presentation that explained
the next two items on the agenda. He noted that as part of the process, the effective date
would take place 90 days after approval by the Council. He explained that the Town had
looked to see if the standards were too high; and as a result, the fees were lowered.
Alex Jacome, from Southern Arizona Homebuilders Association, addressed the Council
and said impact fees went on the mortgage and were paid for during the life of the
mortgage. He thanked the Town for delaying the item to allow for review. He said they
retained outside consultants to assist; and noted that several concessions had been made.
He hoped that the Town would continue to keep SAHBA in the loop. He commended
Marana for its foresight and vision and said that staff had been forthcoming. The result
was a plan that was fair, met the requirement of nexus and illustrated the progressive
direction the Town desired.
Mayor Sutton pointed out that this was different than other municipalities; SAHBA had
always been there supporting the Town. It had been a good working relationship.
4. Ordinance No. 2005.11: Relating to Development; identifying the Marana Park
Benefit Area, accepting and approving the technical report identifying park needs
within that area, adopting park development impact fees for that area, and
providing an effective date (Jim DeGrood)
Council Member Honea asked why there was a 90 day delay before the ordinances would
become effective. Mr. DeGrood responded that it was required in the statutes. The 90
days allowed someone under contract or contemplating buying a home to have notice of
the impact fees.
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member McGorray, the
ordinance was unanimously approved.
5. Ordinance No. 2005.12: Relating to Development; identifying the Northwest
Marana Transportation Benefit Area, accepting and approving the technical report
identifying the roadway needs within the benefit area, adopting roadway
development impact fees for that area, and providing an effective date (Jim
DeGrood)
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Vice Mayor Kai, the ordinance
was unanimously approved.
6. State Le2islative Issues: Discussion/Direction/Action regarding all pending bills
before the Legislature (Michael Racy)
Mr. Reuwsaat addressed the Council and explained that Mr. Racy had intended to present
his report to Council in person but that Mr. Racy's son was ill. He noted that the
tracking report had been placed on the dais for Council. Mayor Sutton said that if anyone
had questions they could contact Mr. Racy.
The Town Council went into recess at 8: 10 p.m. as staff continued working on the
revision to Ordinance No. 2005.10. The Council reconvened at 8:20 p.m.

2. Public Hearin2: Ordinance No. 2005.10: Relating to Development; approving a
rezoning of 20 acres of land from Zone "C" to Zone "HI" south of Tangerine Road
and east of Breakers Road (Barbara Berlin) (Continued after the recess)
Mr. Cassidy read the revision to Condition 2 into the record. "Prior to the Town's
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any structure within the rezoning area, the
property owner shall construct a new 24 foot wide paved roadway with a structural cross
section acceptable to the Town Engineer in what is commonly known as the Breakers
Road Easement, from Tangerine Road to the east-west lateral access point for the
proposed project, a distance of approximately 1300 linear feet. The property owner shall
maintain the section of roadway constructed by the property owner to standards generally
consistent with those for public roadways. If an improvement district is formed by the
Town for construction or improvement of a public roadway in the Breakers Road
Easement the property owner shall not protest the formation of the improvement district,
and the property owner's fair share contribution to the improvement district shall be
credited to the extent of the permanent Breakers Road improvements constructed by the
property owner."
Mr. Neubeck said the applicant approved of the condition. Vice Mayor Kai asked what
would happen to the rest of the road. Mayor Sutton said this revised condition would be
leverage to get that done. This would allow the project to go forward.
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Vice Mayor Kai, the ordinance
was unanimously approved as revised.
C. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORT
Vice Mayor Kai reported that he had attended a ground breaking ceremony for a multi-
species conservation plan that the Federal Government had committed $330 million
dollars. The money would be used to maintain the life on the river and would prevent the
shutdown of the river.
Mayor Sutton thanked stafffor working on the State of the Town address. He said it was
well-received by the community and developers.
D. MANAGERS' REPORT
Mr. Reuwsaat announced some upcoming dates: the April 19, 2005 Council Meeting
would be at Heritage Highlands; May 3 was the dedication in the new chambers and the
Council Meeting would be brief; May 17 was a concurrent election. The polling place
would be in the old Council chambers; the Council would meet in the new chambers. On
June 7 the Council Members recently elected would be sworn in.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL at TANGERINE ROAD/DOVE MOUNTAIN
BLVD. INTERSECTION
The Town is working together with a Dove Mountain
developer to have a traffic signal installed at the Tangerine
Road/Dove Mountain Blvd. intersection. The signal design
phase has been completed and the Project has been
advertised and awarded. It is anticipated that the signal will be
in place some time this summer.
ALL-WAY STOP CONTROL AT THE SANDARIO ROAD/
TWIN PEAKS INTERSECTION:
-,:,-
The results of a traffic study found that the installation of an
all-way stop control is warranted at the Sandario RoadfTwin
Peaks Road intersection. It is anticipated that the installation
of the required traffic signs and pavement markings to
establish the all-way stop will be completed in early June
2005. In order to properly advise motorists about the
upcoming traffic control change at this location, advance
notice signs will be installed on all legs of the intersection
approximately one month prior to the all-way stop installation.
We expect that the overall traffic safety at the Sandario Road/
Twin Peaks Road intersection will be greatly improved by the
installation of the all-way stop control.
-
TRAFFIC SIGNAL at SILVERBELL ROAD-WADE ROAD
INTERSECTION (completed project)
A traffic signal study conducted at the Silverbell Road/Wade
Road intersection found that the installation of a traffic signal is
warranted at that location. The signalization will make this a
much safer intersection for motorists exiting Wade Road,
pedestrians crossing Silverbell Road, as well as emergency
vehicles entering the intersection from the Northwest Fire/
Rescue District's Station on Wade Road. The signal was
activated and
became fully
operational on
6 January,
2005. A
ribbon-cutting
ceremony,
sponsored by
the Continental
Ranch
community,
was held on 23
January, 2005.
SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PROGRAM
The Traffic Engineering Division is in the process of
finalizing the Town of Marana's Safe Routes to School
Pilot Program at Twin Peaks Elementary School. The
Town of Marana's Safe Routes to School Programs'
goal is to develop educational, engineering and
enforcement tools with which to help provide safe trips
for elementary and middle school students on their
way to and from school. Via the Pilot Program at Twin
Peaks a documented process was developed so that
those immediately involved with the program
(Department of Public Works' Traffic Engineering
Staff, police, school administration, teachers and
parents) all understand the procedures and their
respective roles in the process. Town Staff will
continue to work with the Safe Routes to School
Committee for Twin Peaks to implement a safe routes
plan and an educational campaign for the school. The
Committee includes the school's Principal, the
school's Police Resource Officer, the Marana Unified
School District's Director of Operations, and Scott
Leska of the Department of Public Works Staff.
CORTARO FARMS ROAD/HARTMAN LANE
INTERIM SIGNAL PROJECT
The Town's Cortaro Farms Road Project, which will
widen the road to four lanes with a raised median from
the Union Pacific Rail Road tracks east to Star Grass
Drive, involves two phases. During Phase I an interim
traffic signal will be installed at the Cortaro Farms
Road/Hartman Lane intersection, along with an east-
bound left-turn lane on Cortaro Farms Road and
southbound right-turn lane on Hartman Lane. This
Project, which should greatly enhance the traffic
safety at that location, has been awarded to Dar-HiI
Construction. Utility Pole relocation is complete; water
line and signal installation have begun.

HABITAT CONSERVATION PLANNING:
The Town of Marana's Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) considers six
species in total. There are specific strategies for four of these species.
These four species include the Tucson Shovel-Nose Snake, the Ground
Snake, the Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy Owl, and the Burrowing Owl.
The conservation measures used in the strategies for these four species
also acted as conservation measures for two additional species, the
Lesser Long-Nosed Bat and Pale Townsend's Big-eared Bat.

CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT:
~-
The Environmental Division and the
Planning Department are working
together on trying to organize the
application for the Town to be
designated as a Certified Local
Government (CLG). This certification is
through the State Historic Preservation
Office. It requires a Cultural and
Historical Preservation Board to be
active in surveying and inventorying
the cultural and historical resources in
the Town, as well as in reviewing
development issues that would affect
the Town's cultural and historical
features.
The CLG process requires us to
develop an overlay of the general
areas of the Town containing cultural
and historical features that should be
considered for preservation during the
planning review process. The
features chosen by the Town to be
preserved will eventually include a
historic district and will establish a
visual and tangible lesson on the rich
history and culture of the area for
future generations of residents and
visitors to learn about and to
appreciate. Certification under this
program would offer the Town
opportunities to receive grant funding
for preservation projects in the Town.
This Project is currently on hold due to
staff workloads.
SUNFLOWER CITIZEN'S
ADVISORY COMMITTEE:
Environmental Staff met with a
citizen's group from the
Continental Ranch area on
January 27,2005. These citizens
are interested in the creation of a
Citizen's Advisory Committee,
along the lines of the one that the
City of Tucson is now organizing.
This will be a good move, as often,
the municipality can get volunteers
on these committees who are
retired from a career with years of
expertise in an area that is very
useful.
STATUS:
The Environmental Division has
spoken to PDEQ and transmitted
results of that conversation to the

BERRY ACRES LOMR:
BLM CONFLICT RESOLUTION:
Town of Marana is working with the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
and various stakeholders on
addressing recreational shooting
issues on the BLM, Forest Service and
other Public lands.
Status: Planning continues for the
second public workshop, tentatively
scheduled for 7 May, 2005.
EXPANDED TORTOLlTA PRESERVE
CONCEPT:
The Town of Marana's Tortolita
Preserve consists of 2400 acres. The
Town of Marana is looking to expand
the existing 2400 acres of Preserve
land by an additional 16,200 acres.
The Town has started a dialogue with
the Unites States Fish and Wildlife
Service, the Bureau of Land
Management, and the Arizona State
Land Department. This Project would
benefit the residents, the environment,
and potentially assist with the recovery
of an endangered species
STATUS:
Continued on-going coordination
between Town staff and State Lands
staff to see what is a feasible option
for acquiring state land for
preservation of open space.
This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) will potentially remove the majority of the Berry
Acres Subdivision from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
floodway. The properties will remain in the floodplain designated as a Zone AE, but will
allow for development and redevelopment in the area.
STATUS:
This LOMR became effective March 10,2005. The Town of Marana is working with the
Pima County Flood Control District and affected residents for the acquisition of
properties that are still located in the floodway.

ARIZONA POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION
SYSTEM:
This project was initiated by a federal mandate in which
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)
was given primacy. Six minimum control measures have
been defined for compliance, they are as follows:
1. Public Education and Outreach
2. Public Involvement and Participation
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
5. Control of Post-Construction Site Runoff
6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping.
,~
STATUS: The Environmental Division of the Town is
finishing up Storm Water outreach at surrounding
schools. The last Outreach program was presented to
a140 5th graders at Ironwood Elementary School. The
Program reached a total of 23 classes, and 533 children.
Of that 533, 411 children from Marana Middle science
and social studies class were presented with Stormwater
Pollution Prevention information. Teachers enjoyed the
presentations and look forward to future collaborations.
Arizona Water Protection Fund grant opportunities are
available. The Town is working with Consultants for grant
application submittals.
SANTA CRUZ VALLEY NATIONAL HERITAGE
AREA:
The vision of a National Heritage Area designation
for the Santa Cruz Valley in Southern Arizona is
gaining momentum due to a convergence of local
efforts to conserve natural resources and open
spaces; to preserve historic structures and
archaeological sites; to educate the public about the
history and cultures of this region; to increase
national recognition of the region; to develop heritage
tourism and bring other economic benefits to local
communities; and to improve cultural ties across the
U.S.-Mexico border.
STATUS: The Town of Marana showed support of
the application and designation of the Santa Cruz
Valley Heritage Area by passing Resolution No.
2003-133 at the Town Council Meeting on October
21, 2003. Preservation and development is ongoing.

TITLE 16-EFFLUENT RE-USE PLANNING:
The Title 16 process began several years ago as a
regional effluent re-use planning effort, which was
initially coordinated by the Tucson Regional Water
Council. Title 16 is a funding mechanism available
through the Bureau of Reclamation that offers 50%
Federal matching funds for planning and 25%
Federal matching funds for construction of water
infrastructure projects that meet the programs
criteria.
STATUS: This Project will take much of the
agriculture on the south side of the river off
groundwater, protect water quality in our aquifers,
and provide a reliable, low-cost water supply for the
agricultural economy. We will also have the
backbone of a non-potable supply system on the
south side of the Santa Cruz, which will be able to
supply turl and exterior use if that area urbanizes in
the future. We are currently working with the
Bureau of Reclamation on providing water
consumption estimates for parks and turl areas
along the pipeline.

PROPOSED MITIGATION LAND
DEVELOPMENT:
The Environmental Division is currently
developing a log and map of the existing
and proposed mitigation lands for the Town
of Marana. The purpose of this Project is to
provide information and support for the
Tortolia Fan Overlay and the Town's Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP) and future
developments within the Town of Marana.
This map will provide information on the
maximum percent disturbance and the
binding agreement that requires the
mitigation.

SCENIC DRIVE RESTORATION:
Environmental Staff has met concerned citizens
interested in work to restore portions of the Scenic Drive
wildlife corridor.
--
STATUS: The Environmental Division is in the scoping
stages of this Project. Meetings with local residents and
other interested parties have identified specific areas of
concern.
TRES RIOS DEL NORTE:
This Study is a cooperative effort between the City of
Tucson Water Department, Pima County Flood
Control District and the Town of Marana in
conjunction with the United States Army Corps of
Engineers. The purpose of this Study is to evaluate
approximately an eighteen mile stretch of the Santa
Cruz River from Prince Road to Sanders Road for
potential projects such as habitat restoration, water
supply, flood control, and recreation.
STATUS: The Town of Marana is working with staff
of other governmental agencies to develop the best
overall plan for the Town. A 75% product is expected
for the F-5 study around June 2005. The F-5
document is not expected to be 100% until the first
quarter of 2006.

Visitors' Center
The Chamber is carpeting the visitors' center area. With the increase in
traffic and a good possibility that we will be in this building for a few more
years it is important that we freshen up the look of the Chamber. The
building is the first contact many people have with Marana and it needs to
reflect the proper image.
Events and Activities
Bowling Tournament. The Chamber had their second annual bowling
tournament on February 5. The major sponsor for the event was Empire
Properties, with the Town of Marana providing additional support. Over
$500 was collected for children's books for the Marana Health Center
"Outreach and Read Program".
State of the Town address. The Chamber sponsored the 2005 State of the
Town Address. Due to the considerable efforts of Chamber members and
Town staff, the event was sold out and very well received. The Chamber
would like to sponsor this as an annual event.
~
Programs
B3 Program - Growing Communities One Business at a Time.
Much of the effort in building a community, centers on bringing in new
business and sustaining existing businesses to keep them viable. It is
estimated that as much as 80 percent of the opportunities for new jo bs comes
from businesses already existing in a community.
The Marana Chamber has partnered with the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber
to gather this information :trom the Marana Businesses. The B3 Pro gram
utilizes periodic surveys and interviews along with the innovative
technology to devise a rating of companies in our community. Five
companies have been interviewed to this point. This information will be
available at the end of the year.
It should be noted that an integral part of this program is that you have a
face-to- face meeting with the CEO or owner of each company. This contact
demonstrates to the businesses that the Town of Maran a cares about them
and wants to hear what they have to say.
In closing, the Marana Chamber of Commence would like to thank the
Mayor, council and staff for their support of the Marana Chamber of
Commerce.

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: IX. A. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Barbara C. Berlin, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-40: Relating to Development; approving a
final plat for Continental Ranch Parcel 39.
DISCUSSION
Pulte Homes is requesting final plat approval of a 51-lot single family detached home
subdivision on approximately 10 acres within Continental Ranch Parcel 39 east of Coachline
Boulevard and approximately one-half mile north of Twin Peaks Road.
The land use designation for Parcel 39 is School (S) per the Continental Ranch Specific Plan.
Under section V.C.lO of the Plan, "If any ofthe seven designated school site parcels revert back
to American Continental ownership, their successors and/or assigns, those properties will be
zoned at the lowest residential density of adjacent parcels". The lowest residential density of the
adjacent parcels is MD, 3-6 rêsidences per acre; therefore, this project will be developed at the
Medium Density Residential (MD) standards.
The Continental Ranch land use designation Medium Density requires a minimum lot size of
4,500 square feet. The minimum lot size of this proposed subdivision is 5,175 square feet, and
the average lot size is 5,973 square feet. Twenty-six of the lots within this subdivision are
greater than 6,000 square feet. The lot sizes within this subdivision are consistent with the
surrounding established subdivisions, and staff finds the proposed lot sizes appropriate.
Pulte Homes is providing a minimum of 9,435 square feet of improved recreation area to meet
their on-site park requirement and the adopted Park Development Impact Fee of $2,884 per
dwelling unit, payable at building permit issuance. Pulte Homes will also pay the established
impact fee of $2,435 per dwelling unit as part of the Marana South Transportation Benefit Area.

DISCUSSION
The property owner is requesting final plat approval for a seven-lot single family detached home

Marana South Transportation Benefit Area and will be subject to the established impact fee.
The subdivision will take access off of Ina Road, creating a cul-de-sac to serve the lots. An
emergency access will be provided that connects this project with the Silverbell Place
subdivision. This access will be from the end of the cul-de-sac through an easement into the
adjacent Silverbell Place subdivision,
The lots are restricted to a maximum grading area of 18,000 square feet (General Note number
18). The Yuma Mine Wash is located to the rear of lots 1 through 4 and is being dedicated as a
public access and drainage easement by this plat. A 100- foot W AP A (Western Area Power
Administration) easement runs along the easterly property line, affecting lots 1 through 6. The
lots will be served with public sewer and water.

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: IX. Á. 3
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Mike Reuwsaat, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-42: Relating to Health; supporting legislative
changes to Arizona law to promote improvements in the
availability of health care professionals and quality of health care
in the Town of Marana and the State of Arizona.
DISCUSSION
The Town of Marana has been asked by the neighboring communities of Oro Valley and
Sahuarita to join them in supporting legislative changes to Arizona law to improve health care
availability and conditions in the state.
Due to retirements, relocations and the increased liability and insurance costs, Arizona is losing
health care providers faster than they enter the practice and the citizens of Marana and the entire
state suffer declining health care quality. Since accessible and affordable health care is a vital
part of any community, there is a clear need for health care reform in Arizona to address this
Issue.
As more Arizona municipalities sign resolutions to this effect, it will send a message to State
Legislators that the health care quality issues must be addressed quickly and decisively.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2005-42.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2005-42.
RESOLUTION NO. 2005-42
RELATING TO HEALTH; SUPPORTING LEGISLATIVE CHANGES TO
ARIZONA LAW TO PROMOTE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE A V AILABILITY
OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AND QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE IN
THE TOWN OF MARANA AND THE STATE OF ARIZONA.
WHEREAS, preservation of the public's health, safety and welfare is a primary
responsibility of the Marana Town Council; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Marana has strong relationships with medical care
providers, such as the Marana Health Center and Northwest Medical Center; and
WHEREAS, neighboring states have enacted legislation to retain and attract
physicians and health care providers; and
WHEREAS, Pima County physicians and other health care providers have
relocated to neighboring states; and
WHEREAS, an increasing number of Arizona physicians are retiring early,
leaving the State or leaving the practice of medicine altogether due to increased liability
and insurance costs; and
WHEREAS, new physicians and other health care providers are not entering
practice in the State of Arizona fast enough to compensate for physician losses; and
WHEREAS, the State of Arizona ratio for physicians and health care providers
falls well below the national average; and
WHEREAS, health insurance premiums continue to escalate annually
compounded by the reduced number of qualified Arizona physicians; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Marana pays for employee medical coverage and 66%
of dependant medical coverage for full time employees and part time employees after one
year; and
WHEREAS, access to quality health care is an important consideration of
businesses expanding within, or relocating to the Town of Marana.
TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: IX. A. 4
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-43: Relating to Development; approving and
authorizing the execution of the Fourth Amendment to Gladden
Farms Development Agreement; and declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
The First Amendment to the Gladden Farms Development Agreement provided for the aban-
donment of Sandario Road between Moore and the Heritage House with title passing upon com-
pletion of Heritage Park Road and Gladden Farms Drive. The abandonment was supposed to be
accomplished through an exchange of right-of-way as part of a resubdivision of some of the
blocks of Gladden Farms.
The resubdivision of Gladden Farms Blocks 13, 14, and 15 has now been approved and recorded.
However, since the resubdivision only depicted blocks located south of Tangerine Farms Road, it
arguably did not abandon of Sandario Road between Tangerine Farms Road and Moore Road.
Moreover, the First Amendment to the Gladden Farms Development Agreement provided that
ownership of the old Sandario Road right-of-way would be effective only after completion of
Heritage Park Road and Gladden Farms Drive. These factors have placed a cloud on the title to
the old Sandario Road right of way south of Moore Road.
The Fourth Amendment to the Gladden Farms Development Agreement presented for approval
addresses these issues. It allows title for Sandario Road to transfer immediately, and obligates the
Developer to maintain access from Moore Road to the Heritage House via Tangerine Farms
Loop Road right-of-way and a temporary construction easement until Heritage Park Road and
Gladden Farms Drive are completed.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2005-43, approving and authorizing the execution
of the Fourth Amendment to the Gladden Farms Development Agreement.
ATTACHMENT(S)

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO
GLADDEN FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE GLADDEN FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("this
Fourth Amendment") is made by and between the TOWN OF MARANA, an Arizona municipal
corporation (the "Town"), and GLADDEN FOREST, L.L.C., an Arizona limited liability company
("Developer"). The Town and the Developer are collectively referred to in this Fourth
Amendment as the "Parties" and are sometimes individually referred to as the "Party."
RECITALS
A. The Developer owns the development project commonly known and referred to in this
Agreement as "Gladden Farms," which is the land that is the subject of the document entitled
"DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE
AGENCY, INC. AND GLADDEN FARMS, L.L.C." recorded in the Pima County Recorder's office at
Docket 11738, Page 1900 (the "Original Agreement").
B. The Parties amended the Original Agreement with the execution of the First Amendment
to Gladden Farms Development Agreement dated February 17,2004, and recorded in the Office
of the Pima County Recorder in Docket 12242, Page 1055 (the "First Amendment").
C. The Parties amended the Original Agreement and the First Amendment with the execution
of the Second Amendment to Gladden Farms Development Agreement dated July 20, 2004, and
recorded in the Office of the Pima County Recorder in Docket 12350, Page 5025 (the "Second
Amendment").
D. The Parties further amended the Original Agreement, the First Amendment and the
Second Amendment with the execution of the Third Amendment to Gladden Farms
Development Agreement dated December 21, 2004, and recorded in the Office of the Pima
County Recorder in Docket 12455, Page 1506 (the "Third Amendment"). Together, the Original
Agreement as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third
Amendment is referred to in this Fourth Amendment as the "Gladden Farms Agreement".
E. Paragraph 3.4 of the First Amendment requires the Developer to submit a partial re-
subdivision of the Gladden Farms Block Plat, one purpose of which was to eliminate Sandario
Road south of Moore Road and showing it as abandoned in favor of the Developer pursuant to
A.R.S. § 28-7203 in exchange for the right-of-way dedicated pursuant to the Gladden Farms
Block Plat and the new Heritage Park Road dedicated pursuant to paragraph 1.2.1 of the First
Amendment.
F. The partial re-subdivision required by paragraph 3.4 of the First Amendment was
accomplished by the Final Block Plat of Gladden Farms Blocks 13, 14 and 15, approved by the
Town on February 1, 2005 and recorded on February 4, 2005 in the Pima County Recorder's
office at Book 59, Page 31 of Maps and Plats (the "Gladden Farms Re-P1at").
{00000664.DOC /}
FOURTH AMENDMENT TO GLADDEN FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
- 1 -
G. General Note 25 ofthe Gladden Fanns Re-Plat provides: "By the approval of this plat, the
Town of Marana hereby abandons Sandario Road (Twin Peaks-Marana Extension, Book 5 of
Road Map Pg 84) within the NEl/4 of Section 33 and the NW1/4 of Section 34, T 11 S, R 11 E
pursuant to ARS 28-7203 in exchange for new rights-of-way dedicated by this plat."
H. Paragraph 3.4.1 of the First Amendment provided that ownership of the abandoned
Sandario Road right-of-way would pass to the Developer after dedication and construction of
Heritage Park Road and Gladden Fanns Road and after the extension of certain utilities
necessary to serve the Heritage House.
I. Paragraphs 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 of the First Amendment required completion not later than
December 31, 2004 for the construction of Heritage Park Road and Gladden Fanns Road and the
extension of certain utilities necessary to serve the Heritage House.
J. The Third Amendment extended the time for completion of Heritage Park Road to July 31,
2005 as a result of delays arising from negotiations concerning the disposition of Cortaro-
Marana Irrigation District improvements affected by the construction.
K. Because construction of Heritage Park Road and Gladden Fanns Road is not yet complete
and because of the limited land area depicted on the Gladden Fanns Re-Plat, the status of the
abandonment of the portion of Sandario Road from Moore Road to the south right-of-way line of
Tangerine Fanns Loop Road is unclear.
L. The Parties desire to address temporary access and utility conditions existing prior to the
completion of Heritage Park Road and Gladden Fanns Road so that the abandonment of
Sandario Road from Moore Road to the south right-of-way line of Tangerine Fanns Loop Road
may be fully effective and so that the Developer may sell the underlying land free and clear of
any possible cloud on title resulting from the fonner existence of Sandario Road south of Moore
Road.
AGREEMENT
Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual promises and
agreements set forth in this Fourth Amendment, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Article 1. Heritage House Access
1.1. Temporary Access Easement. Developer hereby grants a temporary access easement for
vehicular and utility access over, along and under the land described in Exhibit A attached to and
incorporated by this reference in this Fourth Amendment (the "Temporary Access Easement
Land"), which easement shall remain in full force and effect until Gladden Fanns Road and
Heritage Park Road are completed.
1.2. Maintenance of Vehicle Access to Heritage House. From the date of this Fourth
Amendment until Gladden Fanns Road and Heritage Park Road are completed, Developer shall
maintain a dirt road reasonably passable by conventional motor vehicle from the intersection of
Tangerine Loop Road and Moore Road, over the Tangerine Loop Road right-of-way, and over
the Temporary Access Easement Land to the Heritage House.
1.3. Elimination of Condition on Passage of Title. Paragraph 3.4.3 of the First Amendment
is hereby modified to delete the clause stating that "ownership of the right-of-way shall not pass
{00000664.DOC /}
FOURTH AMENDMENT TO GLADDEN FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
- 2 -
to the Developer until the Developer has perfonned its obligations under paragraphs 1.1, 1.2 and
1.3" of the First Amendment.
Article 2. Clarification of Third Amendment
2.1. Time Extension Applicable to Gladden Fanns Road and Utilities. The Parties hereby
confinn that the extension of time for construction of Heritage Park Road to July 31, 2005 as
granted by the Third Amendment also applies to the construction of Gladden Fanns Road and
the extension of utilities addressed in paragraphs 1.1 and 1.3, respectively, of the First
Amendment.
Article 3. General Terms and Conditions.
3.1. Effect on Original Agreement and First Amendment. Except as expressly modified in
this Fourth Amendment, the tenns, provisions and obligations of the Gladden Fanns Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.
3.2. Counterparts. This Fourth Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. The signature pages from one or more counterparts may be removed from such
counterparts and such signature pages all attached to a single instrument so that the signatures of
all Parties may be physically attached to a single document.
3.3. Severability. If any provision of this Fourth Amendment is declared void or
unenforceable, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Fourth Amendment, which shall
otherwise remain in full force and effect. If a law or court order prohibits or excuses the Town
from undertaking any contractual commitment to perfonn any act under this Fourth Amendment,
this Fourth Amendment shall remain in full force and effect, but the provision requiring the act
shall be deemed to pennit the Town to act at its discretion, and if the Town fails to act, the
Developer shall be entitled to tenninate this Fourth Amendment.
3.4. Governing Law. This Fourth Amendment is entered into in Arizona and shall be
construed and interpreted under the laws of Arizona, and the Parties agree that any litigation or
arbitration shall take place in Pima County, Arizona. Nothing in the use of the word "litigation"
in the preceding sentence shall constitute a waiver of paragraph 5.4 of the First Amendment,
requiring disputes to be resolved by binding arbitration.
3.5. Interpretation. This Fourth Amendment has been negotiated by the Town and the
Developer, and no party shall be deemed to have drafted this Fourth Amendment for purposes of
construing any portion of this Fourth Amendment for or against any party.
3.6. Recordation. The Town shall record this Fourth Amendment in its entirety in the office
of the Pima County Recorder no later than ten days after it has been executed by the Town and

MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: IX. B. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Thornton, P.E., Manager, Engineering Division
SUBJECT: Relatim! to Real Estate: Presentation of the recommended
improvements, costs and schedule for roadway improvements
within the Honea Heights Neighborhood.
DISCUSSION
Staff will make a presentation of the recommended improvements, associated costs, and
proposed schedule based on the direction given at the February 15, 2005 Council Study Session
in four phases as follows:
1. The sanitary sewer mainlines will be constructed under the direction of Pima County. The
construction Notice to Proceed (NTP) is scheduled to be issued by the County in July
2005. Construction of the sewer mainlines is expected to require nine months to complete.
2. Immediately following construction of the sewer mainline, the Town will issue a NTP to
complete the pavement improvements. The pavement improvements consist of two inches
of asphalt over six inches of lime-treated aggregate base. The lime-treated aggregate base
will be completed by the County as a part of the first phase above. Treating the aggregate
base with lime will ensure that the roadways within the subdivision will be left in a stable
condition until the asphalt can be placed. The pavement improvements are anticipated to
begin in the second quarter of 2006, with completion of construction occurring in
approximately three months. It is not recommended that pavement improvements begin
prior to completion of the sewer mainline as the Contractor could damage the newly
placed pavement with heavy equipment.
3. It is recommended that RCS Connections be completed over three years due to budget
limitations; however, if full funding is available, the RCS Connections could be completed
earlier. Town Staff is in the process of evaluating this phase to see if a portion of the work
could be completed utilizing Town forces. This could potentially reduce the cost of
construction and the associated time frame.
4. It is recommended that the sidewalks be constructed following completion of the RCS
Connections. This is due to the possibility of the sidewalks being damaged by the RCS
Contractor who will be utilizing heavy equipment. Conceptual sidewalk locations are
shown on the attached map.

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: IX. B. 2
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Barbara C. Berlin, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2005.02: Relating to Development; approving a
rezoning for a veterinary clinic at 8300 N. Silverbell Road.
DISCUSSION
Kim Perkins, D.V.M. is seeking approval to rezone a 2.2 acre site generally located south of
Somerton Drive on Silverbell Road from "C" (Large Lot Zone) to "CO" Commercial (Office) for
the purpose of developing a 4,900 square foot single story veterinary clinic.
The site was annexed in 1987 (Ord. 87.11) as part of the Continental Ranch II annexation and
received translational zoning of "c" (Large Lot Zone). After annexation and translational zoning
Town Council approved and adopted ordinance 88.09 establishing the "Continental Ranch
Specific Plan." However, the subject property remained outside the specific plan with "c"
zoning. The minimum lot size for development in the "c" zone is twenty-five (25) acres. Thus,
this parcel, improved with a single family house, became a legal non- conforming lot. No further
development may occur without a rezoning.
The Mayor and Council continued this item from the January 18, 2005 public hearing and
Council Meeting based on a neighboring property owner's desire to possibly increase the height
of his rear yard wall, questions about other permitted land uses should the veterinary clinic
discontinue operation, and hours of operation. Council also inquired about the possibility of
taking access from the neighborhood, rather than from Silverbell Road, and wanted confirmation
that neighbors were indeed contacted. Following the January 18th public hearing there was
additional outreach to neighborhood residents and contact with the Continental Ranch HOA.
Staff explored further the matter of screening the property by increasing the existing wall height
for properties adjacent to the subject property. Staff made several field visits to the subject
property to determine the approximate height of the rear yard walls. The information collected
concluded that approximate rear yard wall heights range between five and six feet. The
Continental Ranch Specific Plan and the Continental Ranch HOA state the maximum wall height
may not exceed six feet. Staff received a letter from the Continental Ranch HOA stating, "The
association only allows 6 ft. high walls and at this time does not see a concern that would require
a waiver of this rule."
041905 PCZ-04039 Veterinary Clinic Rezone.doc
Page 1 of2
In response to the outreach, staff received letters from the Continental Ranch HOA and several
property owners who reside adjacent to the subject property who originally had concerns
regarding the rezoning but now are supportive of it (please refer to the attached letters).
Regarding the possibility of locating access to the site from the residential street behind the
property, staff concluded this would improve neither safety nor traffic flow and recommend that
access remain right-in and -out from Silverbell.
The veterinary clinic is a permitted use in the "CO" zoning district and the Silverbell Road
Corridor Overlay District (SRCOD). The matter of re-use or change of occupancy would be
contingent upon the proposed use and its relation to the permitted uses of the "CO" zoning
district and the overlay district. A change of use would require a new certificate of occupancy.
The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:30am - 6:00pm and Saturday
8:30am - 1:00pm. Should Dr. Perkins desire to extend hours of operation before 5:00 a.m. or
after 11 :00 p.m. a conditional use permit is required as per the SRCOD.
Should Town Council approve and adopt this rezoning the subsequent procedural step is review
of a site plan, including building design. The plan is subject to requirements of the SRCOD.
The SRCOD requires additional design and development standards such as a 25-foot transitional
landscaped buffer yard for all commercial lots adjacent to residential zoning districts; a planned
sign program; screening; quality building materials; and compatible design with surrounding
development and overall site layout. The site plan is subject to review and approval by the
SRCOD Manager's Design Review Committee and Town Council; and Planning Commission
reviews of the development plan which follows design approval.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS
1. Any use of the parcel in addition to the clinic and storage must be approved by the
Planning Commission and Town Council.
2. Building height of the clinic shall be restricted to single-story construction.
3. There shall be no residential use permitted on the property.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Ordinance No. 2005.02 with the recommended conditions.

Re: Proposed Veterinary Clinic - request for comment
Dear Town of Marana,
The Continental Ranch Community Association's Architectural Committee reviewed the
preliminary/conceptual plans for the veterinary clinic to be located on Silverbell, just north
of Wade Road. Upon review, the committee has the following comments/concerns.
1. Request the buildings not be two-story to lesson the impact on the surrounding
homes.
2. Would like to see the proposed plan to dispose of fecal matter that will eliminate
flies, bugs and smells including the location of the dumpster.
3 . Would like to know the purposed use for the back building, closes to the homes.
4. Feels the location is not appropriate for large animal care due to the direct location
of existing homes.
The committee is aware of a concern of one neighbor who wants the wall between their
property and the vet clinic raised to 7 feet to eliminate view. The association only allows
6 ft. high walls and at this time does not see a concern that would require a waiver of this
rule. The committee looks forward to seeing the final plans and obtaining the answers to
their questions and concerns. They do feel the clean up and change on the parcel would
positively impact the association.
UcerelY,

Comments. Well- # 27 -L GWSI Site-ID: 32212911106.450.1. On. 9118147. Cortaro Water Users Association
submitted a Registration of Well form for a well that was drilled in June of 1936 by Roscoe Moss
Company (AÐWR lie. NE>. 97). "fhe-fofmiAdicated-thaHhe-well-was-driIIed-to-a-deptI\-of-23ô-ft-
and was cased with 20" diameter stovepipe from the surface to TO. Depth to water at time of
constructlon was75-ft and 95-ftJn 1947 _ Well was perforated with ten 1/2" )(4-112" cuts. per foot
from 65-206 feet. The pump information listed on the form indicated that the well was equipped

County APN 226-25-006A referenced. On 2/1/04, a letter was received at ADWR that cast doubt
as to the current status of this well and well 5.5-600646. According..IO the. author of tbis letter
(Joe Paul Johnson) and a subsequent correspondence from Kim Perkins, DVM, well 55-604852
was actttally abandoned-on- 9i29i94-as-a- result-of a-Notiœof-lRtentioo-toAbaOOoi1- (NOlArform-

I-C. HYDROLOGY
1. Off-site Watersheds
The project site is not affected by any offsite watersheds. Drainage is to the north and east. Runoff
to the south and west of the project site (i.e., on the other side of Silverbell Road) is collected
within the Continental Reserve drainage systems and delivered to a culvert crossing located
southeast ofthe project site (based on review of the Drainage Addendum to the Master Drainage
Report for Continental Reserve, Stantec, January 2003). Runoffwithin Silverbell Road right-of-
way is collected within the roadway and delivered to the pavement drainage system. Exhibit I-C.l
shows the PAG year 2000 aerial photography with topography for the area surrounding the project
site. According to the Pima County Critical & Balanced Basin Map (1987), the project
site is not located within a designated balanced or critical basin.
2. Significant Off-site Features
The only off-site drainage feature that affects the project site is a small (± lO-foot wide, I-foot
deep) concrete lined channel that drains the low spot of the parcel located at the northeast comer.
The channel drains out into Sayante Way. (see Exhibit I-C.2).

3. Off-site Watershed Acreage
The project site is not affected by any off-site watersheds.
4. Characteristics of On-site Hydrology
a. There are no 100-year floodplain areas on the project site.
b. There are no other areas of flooding, sheet flow or otherwise, on the property.
c. There are no federally-mapped floodplains or floodways on the project site as identified on
FEMA FIRM #040l9C1605K dated Febuary 8, 1999 (see Exhibit I-CAc).
d. There are no locations where the I OO-year peak discharge rate for entering or exiting the
project site has a discharge greater than 50 cfs.
5. Drainage Conditions Along Downstream Property Boundary
The project site generally drains toward the northeast comer of the property with the exception of
a small portion of the south end of the parcel that drains across the south end of the east property
boundary. Runoff collecting at the northeast comer is drained by the small concrete channel
described above in (2). The wash to the southern tip of the property boundary and east of Say ante
Way has been channeled through the Continental Ranch project. Water runoff from the property
onto Sayante Way is diverted to this channel. This channel extends to the Santa Cruz River (see
Exhibit I-C.2), pg. 13.
I-D VEGETATION
Vegetative Inventory, Species, Densities
The project area is situated within the Basin and Range physiographic province and surrounding
vegetation is characteristic of the Arizona Upland Subdivision of the Desertscrub Formation.
Plants identified during the survey consist of mesquite, palo verde, and prickly pear; various
grasses and forbs also are present. No faunal observations were made during the archaeological
survey and no endangered or threatened plant species were noted. The majority of the site has been
graded previously and most of the existing plants are either cultivated non-natives, or volunteers
that sprouted after the land was cleared. The few existing trees are in poor health or dead.
Per the Arizona Game and Fish Department, there is the possibility of several Special Status
Species within 3 miles of the site (see Game and Fish letter, Exhibit I-D.la). Exhibit I-D.lb
illustrates the vegetation on the site. Exhibit I-D.1c is a cultural resources inventory from the
archaeology survey of the environmental setting.
I-E. WILDLIFE
Letter of Review
The letter of review from the Habitat Specialist at the Arizona Game and Fish Department is
included as Exhibit I-D. 1 a. The Department reports the site is located near the proposed critica]
habitat for the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl. However, there are no critical habitats in the project
area (see Exhibit I-E. 1 a). The Picture Rocks Wash, which is west and north of the site is currently
designated as part of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife draft pygmy ow] recovery zone.
With extensive development in Continental Ranch to the north, east and south along with Continental
Reserve to the west, as well as the rem ova] of original vegetation some time ago, this site does not

Re: Special Status Species Infonnation for Township 12 South, Range 12 East, Section 27;
Proposed Rezoning for Animal Hospital.
Dear Dr. Perkins:
The Arizona Game and Fish Department (Department) has reviewed your request, dated January
27, 2004, regarding special Status species infonnation associated with the above-referenced
project area. The Department's Heritage Data Management System (HDMS) has been accessed
and current records show that the special status species listed on the attachment have been
documented as occurring in the project vicinity (3-mile buffer). In addition this project occurs in
the vicinity of Proposed CriticaCHabitat for the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl (along Santa Cruz
River in Section 27). Please contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding survey efforts
and other requirement related to the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl.
The Department's HDMS data are not intended to include potential distribution of special status
species. Arizona is large and diverse with plants, animals, and environmental conditions that are
ever changing. Consequently, many areas may contain species that biologists do not know about
or species previously noted in a particular area may no longer occur there. Not all of Arizona
has been surveyed for special status species, and surveys that have been conducted have varied
greatly in scope and intensity.
Making available this infonnation does not substitute for the Department's review of project
proposals, and should not decrease our opportunities to review and evaluate new project
proposals and sites. The Department is also concerned about other resource values, such as other
wildlife, including game species, and wildlife-related recreation. The Department would
appreciate the opportunity to provide an evaluation of impacts to wildlife or wildlife habitats
associated with project activities occurring in the subject area, when specific details become
available.

A Cultural Resources Inventory of
Approximately 2 Acres for a Proposed Veterinary Clinic
in the 8300 Block of North Silverbell Road in Marana, Arizona
A cultural resources inventory on privately owned land in the 8300 block of North
Silverbell Road in Marana, Arizona, was conducted by Aztlan Archaeology, Inc., for Dr. Kim
Perkins. The purpose of the inventory was to locate and describe any cultural resources that
might be adversely affected by the proposed construction of a new veterinary clinic. Tasks
completed as part ofthis project consisted of a Class I overview (i.e., records check and literature
search) and a Class III archaeological survey (100% coverage). The fieldwork was conducted on
January 27, 2004, by Laural Myers (field director). The field survey was conducted under the
authority of Arizona Antiquities Act Permit No. 2004-2bl.
Project Area Location
The project area consIsts of approximately 2 acres of privately owned land in the
8300 block of North Silverbell Road in Marana (Pima County), Arizona. This location is in the
NWV.NWV.SWV. of Section 27, Township 12 South, Range 12 East; the township and range are
located with respect to the Gila and Salt River Baseline and Meridian, on the U.S.G.S. Jaynes,
Arizona 7.5 Minute quadrangle map (1968, photorevised 1975). The project area location is
shown in Figure 1. '\..
Environmental Setting
The project area is situated within the Basin and Range physiographic province and
surrounding vegetation is characteristic of the Arizona Upland Subdivision of the Oesertscrub
Fonnation (Brown and Lowe 1994). Plants identified during the survey consist of mesquite
(Prosopis sp.), palo verde (Cercidium sp.), and prickly pear (Opuntia sp.); various grasses and
forbs also are present. No faunal observations were made during the survey and no endangered
or threatened plant species were noted.
Elevation within the project area averages 2,135 feet above mean sea level, and the soil
is a silty sandy loam. Disturbances within the property consist of cattle, erosion, dirt roads, and
minor trash dumping. The area also is within an abandoned plowed field; the furrows were still
visible in 1981 (Murphy 1982).

offer habitat value to native species. In addition, with the channeling of the Picture Rocks Wash,
wildlife movement has been restricted to the immediate channel area west and north of the site (see
Exhibit I-E.lb and letter from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Exhibit I-E. Ie).
I-F. VIEWSHEDS
1. Views and Vistas from Adjacent Properties Looking Onto and Across the Site
The predominant view from the property is of Safford Peak to the southwest. Pusch Ridge is visible
in the far distance northeast of Silverbell Road. The Tortolita Mountains and Rattlesnake Pass are
also visible in the distance northeast and northwest of the site, respectively (see Exhibits I-F.la
and I-F.lb).
2. Site Visibility
The site gently slopes from southwest to northeast. This site is visible along the Silverbell frontage.
Housing developments along the northern, eastern and southern boundaries obstruct any view from
the property in these directions.
I-G. TRAFFIC
1. Off Site Streets
Exhibit I-G.l indicates the streets affected by this development. Traffic to and from the development
would typically travel on Silverbell Road and use Cortaro Road to either connect to or travel under
Interstate 10. The proposed development is located on an arterial. There are no intervening arterial
streets.
2. Arterial Street> Silverbell Road
a. Silverbell Road appears to have 200-feet of right-of-way (RoW) for the majority of its length
within one-mile of the site (see Exhibits for I-G.2a).
b. The existing RoW width (as it appears on Assessor documents and as Town staff understands
it) does not confonn to minimum requirements (see Exhibits under I-G.2a for clarification)
COo The Town of Marana owns the public RoW. If the RoW is as the Assessor's infonnation
claims, the present property owner most likely owns the property within the required
Silverbell RoW (see Exhibits under I-G.2a for clarification).
d. The Assessor infonnation shows a discontinuous RoW for Silverbell Road along the rrontage
of the project site (see Exhibits under I-G.2a for clarification).
e. Silverbell Rd. has four travel lanes and bike lanes in each direction. The design speed is 55
miles per hour. The theoretical capacity is 31, 1 00 vehicles per day at a Level of Service D.
f. The average daily traffic (ADT) reported by PAG is 20,800 vehicles.
g. The existing pavement condition appears to be adequate and maintained by the Town.
h. The Town has a programmed project for the signalization of the Silverbell/Wade
intersection within Fiscal Year 2004-2005.
3. Intersections
Somerton Dr. is the existing intersection within one-mile likely to be used for the proposed project.
4. Bicycle and Pedestrian Ways
There are bike routes and a sidewalk along Silverbell Road and Continental Reserve Loop. They

Tucson, Arizona 85716
Dear Dr. Perkins:
Thank you for your correspondence of January 9,2004. This letter documents our response to
your request for information re.garding the potential effects to the cactus ferruginous pygmy-ow]
associated with the proposed development of a veterinary clinic on Silverbell Road in Marana,
Pima County, Arizona. This project falls within Survey Zone 1 for the cactus ferruginous
pygmy-owl (Glaucidium brasilianum cactorom) (pygmy-owl), a species that is listed as
endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.c. 1531 et seq.).
"-
This zone indicates an area where there is a high likelihood of occurrence of pygmy-owls within
suitable habitat.
The development of this project site could potentially result in two types of impacts to the
pygmy-owl. The first type of impact is related to the removal of vegetation in an area that
supports pygmy-owl habitat components suitable for nesting or connectivity. The second type of
impact is related to potential noise disturbance resulting from the actual development activities,
Intense, unfamiliar noise's and an increase in human activities can adversely affect nesting or
dispersing pygmy-owls. Noise disturbances could result in altered nesting or dispersal behavior
resulting in increased risk of mortality. These impacts could occur if construction occurs during
the nesting or dispersal seasons.
We have evaluated the information you provided us regarding this project, and we reviewed
aerial photography of the project vicinity. Based on this information, we believe that this project
will not affect the pygmy-owl with regard to the impacts described above. Habitat components
on the site are unsuitable for both pygmy-owl breeding and dispersal. In addition, the
surrounding land uses have essentially isolated this project site from adjacent areas of potential
pygmy-owl habitat. Based on our current understanding of pygmy-owl occupancy and
movement patterns, we do not expect this site to be currently occupied, nor is it probable that it
would be utilized by pygmy-owls in the future.
Should circumstances regarding this project change from the information provided to us, we
recommend that you contact us for further review. If you have additional questions, please

RE: Archaeological Records Check for parcel 22625007 A and -6A, located in the town of Marana in T12 S R 12E
S27, Gila & Salt River Baseline and Meridian
Dear Dr. Perkins:
On January 12th, 2004, we received a request for an archaeological records check of the above
referenced property. Students from the University of Arizona inspected the parcel in 1981, and
one site-AZ AA:12:266(ASM)--was found. Since that time, the parcel has not been surveyed
and the site has not been assessed. The ASM therefore recommends an archaeological surface
inspection to assess the presence and condition of the site (or other as yet unknown resources),
and make recommendations about the need for further work. A list of archaeological contractors
is available on our website at
http://www.statemuseum.arizona. edu/profsvcs/pennits/penni ttees. asp
Archaeological surface inspection required under city or county ordinance, or a federal regulation,
will require a written report describing the results of the surface inspection and will include
recommendations. The archaeologist you select should prepare your report using the standards
titled: Standards For Conducting and Reporting Cultural Resource Surveys. Most contractors in
Arizona have a copy of these standards. You are responsible for providing the report to the
appropriate office requiring the inspection. When surface inspections are required on private
lands under city or county ordinance the archaeologist will also submitted copies of your report to
the appropriate archaeological site file office. If you have selected an archaeologist from the list
provided, that contractor knows where and when to submit reports.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me,
Sincerely,
L ¿§e1^-

AZ AA: 12:266, a small Hohokam artifact scatter, appears to have been destroyed by a variety of
impacts since the time of its original identification in 1981, as no surface evidence remains of
this site either within the project area or in the adjoining property. No additional fieldwork is
necessary; archaeo!ogical clearance is recommended.
No other eligible cultural resources are adversely affected by the proposed undertaking, and
archaeological clearance is recommended for the project area.

Part II - Land Use Proposal
II-A PROJECT OVERVIEW
The following land use proposal develops design concepts derived from the preceding inventory
and analysis of the site's unique characteristics.
The proposed zoning for this development is CO (Commercial Office). This zoning is consistent
with the adjacent uses and zones.
II-B TENTATIVE SITE PLAN
The Tentative Site Plan Illustrates the design concept (Exhibit II-B. 1). The project will be a one
story office. Signage and outside building lighting as per the Silverbell Road Corridor Overlay
Regulations. Existing house will be used for hospital storage, i.e. records, x-rays, and equipment.
II-C EXISTING LAND USES
1. Zoning boundaries and existing land uses on adjacent properties (Exhibit II-C.l) pg. 48.
2. The proposed office is appropriate for Silverbell Road and offers opportunities for neighboring
planned developments in tenns of local employment and services.
II-D TOPOGRAPHY
1. Approximately Yz the site will be graded with the exception of those areas, which can be preserved
as landscape buffers.
2. The manmade 15% slope on the site will be impacted by site grading. On-site grading will not
affect existing manmade drainage features off-site.
3. The cross slope of the total pre-project area of the site is less than 15% making it unnecessary to
take advantage ofthe allowances provided for in Title 19.
II-E HYDROLOGY
1. The Tentative Site Plan does not affect any wash or floodplain area with a 1 DO-year discharge
greater than 100 cfs in a natural condition. Therefore no modifications to washes will occur in
conjunction with this development so there will not be any impact on overall drainage patterns.
2. None ofthe project features will encroach into a 1 DO-year floodplain area so mitigation is not
required.
3. The proposed project will result in a minimal increase in runoff ( 1.8 cfs increase for lOO-year
event). Therefore, there are no drainage impacts as proposed under the Tentative Development
Plan and the drainage impacts map has been omitted.
4. This project will not result in any impacts to off site land uses both upstream and downstream of
the proposed development. There are no drainage/erosion problems on the site, therefore no
special features are provided. Drainage of the site will be to the northeast comer as currently
occurs. The existing concrete channel at the northeast comer will drain the site as it currently does.
Drainage of the site is shown on Exhibit II-EA.

5. Engineering features are not required to mitigate drainage and erosion impacts because there are
no washes affecting this site and onsite drainage is minimal. There are no basin management plans
for the project area.
6. The Tentative Site Plan conforms to all applicable area plans and adopted Town of Maran a
drainage policies. This project has no impact upon the Continental Ranch Master Drainage Plan
because the project will not result in any changes in flow patterns or downstream peak discharge
rates.
II-F VEGETATION
The majority of the site has been graded previously as shown on Exhibit I-D.lb, pg. 19. Existing,
healthy vegetation shall be salvaged for use onsite or preserved in place when feasible. All native
plants impacted by development will be dealt with in accordance with the Marana Development
Code Title 17, and in accordance with the Arizona Native Plant Law.
II-G WILDLIFE / BUFFERING / LANDSCAPE
Threatened or Endan!!ered Species
There is no critical habitat on the site.
Buffers
Several landscape buffers are required for this development. One fifteen-foot wide buffer yard
is required along Silverbell Road, a twenty-five foot wide buffer yard along the north and east
boundaries for such transitional yards (Exhibit II-G. 1).
Landscape
Guidelines for landscaping buffers, off-street parking areas and roadways will be met per the
Town of Marana Land Development Code, Title 17. The landscape buffers will contain the
following minimum planting materials; six (6) - 15 gallon trees, fifteen (15) - 1 gallon shrubs
and ten (10) - 1 gallon ground cover / accent plants per 1500 square feet of area. Existing
natural desert may be utilized to meet or exceed these planting requirements. Landscaping
standards for off-street parking areas will have a minimum of fifteen (15%) percent of the gross
parking area (includes all paved access and parking areas). All landscape areas within ten (10')
feet of the perimeter of the gross paved parking area may be included in the 15% gross parking
area. A fifteen (15') foot minimum width landscape buffer will be between the parking area and
the public right-of-way. This area shall include a minimum three (3') foot tall decorative masonry
wall. At a minimum, every group of ten (10) parking spaces will be separated with a raised curb
landscape planter island measuring a minimum five (5') feet in width by the length of the parking
stall, containing a minimum of one (1) canopy tree and two (2) groundcover plants per planter
island. Every one-hundred fifty (150) square feet oflandscaped area will have a minimum of one
(1) tree, five (5) shrubs and groundcover plants as required per the Land Development Code.
Plants will be selected from the Official Regulatory Plant List under Title 17.

Exhibit II - 1.1
~,''''*
According to the State of Florida Department of Transportation's "Q!1ality/Level of Service
Handbook" (2002) the theoretical capacity of a 4~lane divided roadway can be assumed to be
31,100 vehicles per day under a Level of Service D. The Town's "Sub~Regional
Transportation Study" for the Continental Ranch area (CLA February, 1997) states that this
segment of Silverbell Road has a capacity of 36,700 vehicles.
Projected Traffic
Trip generation rates for a broad variety of land uses are set forth in Trip Generation, Institute
of Transportation Engineers, 7th edition, 2003. In the absence of the specific proposed land
use, a land use of Medical~ Dental Office Bailding (Land Use Code 720) was assumed. The
trip rates are:
W eekday (Daily) trips:
AM peak hour (generator):
PM peak hour (generator):
36.13(*) trips per 1,000 sqft
22.35(**)
22.19(**)
500/0 in, 500/0 out
660/0 in, 34% out
400,i) in, 60o,i) out
* As determined by applying the Average Rate of 36.13 (the Fitted Curve Equation produces a negative
number)
** As determined by applying the following Fitted Curve Equations:
AM: T =3.49(X) + 5-25
PM: T = 4.43(X) + 0.48
Where X = 4.9
Application of. the above trip rates (based upon the proposed building square footage)
produces the following trip table for the Silverbell Road Animal Hospital:
AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour
Area Daily Trips In Out Total In Out Total
4,9°0 177 15 8 :u 9 13 22
Trip Generation Table
Peak hour trips to/from this development will be assigned to the street network according to
the adopted directional distribution concept. Since no phasing of the animal hospital is
proposed, the existing traffic volumes were not increased to represent growth in background
traffic.
Directional Distribution
Given the greater residential population to the north it is estimated that a reasonable
directional distribution of trips is 7o~percent to/from the north on Silverbell Road, and 30~
percent to/from the south on Silverbell Road.
Proposed Access
Two driveways are proposed to be separated by approximately 190~feet (centerline~to
centerline). Both driveways are to be right~turn only, for ingress/egress. A separation of
230-feet (centerline-centerline) is required by the Town of Marana based on Pima County's
Draft "Subdivision and Development Street Standards". Town staff have indicated they are
Civil Engineering· Public Works · Traffic · Water Resources
54
Exhibit II-I. 1

.
..
applying the Draft standards to new development proposals. A minimum of 230~feet of
separation should be provided.
The northernmost driveway is proposed to be approximately 430~feet south of the Somerton
Drive median opening (according to recorded plats and Figure I) based upon the 230~foot
driveway separation described above. This separation is considerably greater than the City
of Tucson's "Transportation Access Management Guidelines" requirement for a separation
of at least 30o~feet.
Conclusions
Additional maneuvering area is available within the Silverbell Road bicycle lane (when not
occupied). As discussed with Town staff, predicted peak hour volumes are not considered
sufficient enough to warrant auxiliary lanes on Silverbell Road.

1-4 cars per hour 'except lunch hour..
t"-
I'm a native of Arizona, from the southern part of the state, Bisbee. I worked for
Phelps Dodge Copper Corp. in the Morenci smelter from 1974-79. It was during this
time I realized my destiny to help God's creatures so I moved to Wichita Falls, Texas
where I assisted three veterinarians, 1979-83. I returned to Tucson only to find myself
working in the anesthesia department of the operating rooms at University Medical
Center assisting in elective and trauma surgical cases while earning my undergraduate
degree at the University of Arizona. In 1989, I started my graduate studies at Colorado
State University obtaining a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1993. The past eleven
years r have practiced small animal general and emergency medicine beginning in Sierra
, '"
Vista, Arizona and returning to Tucson in 1997. r have an adopted son 28 and a daughter
18.
Benefits:
Close proximity to major neighborhoods
Professional, courteous and caring
State ofthe art equipment
Job opportunity
Improved land site while creating a professional office
Services:
Retail, wellness exams, vaccinations, general medicine, dentistry and surgery
This is a survey considering your approval or disapproval for rezoning the property

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: IX. B. 5
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Roy Cuaron, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-46: Consideration and possible adoption of a
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the Town of
Marana, Arizona, a municipal corporation of Arizona, ordering
and declaring formation of Vanderbilt Farms Community
Facilities District; approving and authorizing the execution and
delivery of a District Development, Financing Participation
and Intergovernmental Agreement (Vanderbilt Farms
Community Facilities District); and declaring an emergency
DISCUSSION
This action item is related to the November 3, 2004 Mayor and Council study session on
community facilities districts (CFDs) and the proposed Vanderbilt Farms CFD.
This resolution authorizes the execution of a District Development, Financing Participation and
Intergovernmental Agreement (Vanderbilt Farms Community Facilities District) (the "CFD
Agreement") concerning matters related to the creation of the Vanderbilt Farms CFD. It also
takes all steps necessary to order and declare formation of the Vanderbilt Farms CFD. The
Mayor and Council of the Town of Marana will serve as the Board of Directors of the Vanderbilt
Farms CFD (the "CFD Board"), the Town Manager will serve as the CFD Manager, the Town
Engineer will act as the CFD Engineer, the Town Attorney will act as the CFD Attorney, and
other Town officials will act in their same capacity for the CFD. One or more of the CFD
positions may eventually be contracted to outside personnel; for example, it is likely that an
outside engineering firm will be substituted as CFD Engineer, to accept and inspect public
infrastructure acquired or constructed by the CFD.
By a resolution of its own, the CFD Board will schedule an election in the near future to
authorize the sale of a total of $31,500,000 in bonds over the life of this CFD. The CFD
Agreement allows control by the Developer until the first $10,500,000 in bonds are issued or
twenty years, whichever occurs first. It is anticipated that this first $10,500,000 in bonds, if the
CFD Board decides to sell them, will be used to reimburse the Developer for public
infrastructure constructed by it, in and for the benefit of Vanderbilt Farms, including certain
infrastructure addressed in Exhibit B to the CFD Agreement, which must be provided by the
Developer. The remaining bond authorization will be available to fund later public infrastructure
projects to the extent they benefit Vanderbilt Farms.
These documents anticipate a maximum secondary tax rate of $2.80 per $100 of assessed
valuation, which includes $.30 per $100 for operation and maintenance expenses. The actual rate
{00000661.DOC /}
Vanderbilt Farms CFD
4/13/200510:52 AM RC/FJC
could go higher, if for some reason the total assessed valuation within the CFD falls or some
other unforeseen event makes it necessary to raise the tax rate to cover the bond obligations.
The Developer's financial obligations under these documents or as a result of forming this CFD
include (a) non-refundable application fee of $75,000, (b) an annual obligation to pay up to
$100,000 in CFD operation and maintenance costs, to the extent such costs are not covered by
the $.30 per $100 operation and maintenance tax, (c) deposit $25,000 with the Town to cover
initial costs of the CFD prior to the levy of the $.30 per $100 operation and maintenance tax,
(d) the obligation to provide standby contributions to cover any difference in the amount
necessary to pay annual financial obligations with respect to all outstanding bonds and the
amount generated by a tax rate of no more than $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation, and (e) the
obligation, at the CFD Board's discretion, to deposit twice the maximum annual debt service for
any fiscal year (in addition to the reserve fund in the amount of up to one year's debt service paid
out of bond proceeds, at the discretion ofthe CFD Board).
Michael Cafiso and Mark Reader, bond counsel and financial advisor respectively, will not be in
attendance; however, both have been instrumental in providing guidance and direction on this
matter and may be contacted if additional assistance or information is needed.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2005-46.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2005-46.

Issue No. 12
April 1, 2005
Cable Bill Passes Senate Committee
Rally & Press Conference Planned for Monday
After a very long committee hearing, H. 2563, Cable Television; Services passed the Senate
Finance Committee yesterday. Our thanks to Scottsdale Councilmember Wayne Ecton,
Surprise Information Technology Director Randy Jackson and Tucson Principal Assistant City
Attorney Tobin Rosen for coming to the Capitol and waiting over four hours for this bill only
to be denied the opportunity to be heard in the committee.
The bill's passage now sets the stage for a Senate floor vote next week. All indications are
that the vote next week will be extremely close. With the stakes so high and vote so close,
both sides have been relentlessly lobbying on the bill.
As a reminder on the harmful effects of this legislation, H. 2563 will limit your license fees to
the lesser of 50/0 or 1 % plus your TPT rate once your current license agreement expires and
preempt your ability to require in-kind services as part of your next license agreement. In
the event that you do negotiate for in-kind, you would be required to credit the value of the
in-kind at fair market value against the level of license fees owed by the cable company.
All cities and towns are invited and encouraged to attend a rally on Monday, April 4th at
12:45 pm on the lawn in front of the House of Representatives to oppose H. 2563.
Additionally, we strongly encourage each city and town to work with their local media on
coverage of the press conference and to invite any public, education and government (PEG)
channel users to the rally. Please contact Barb at the League for more information. In
addition to attending the rally, please keep up the pressure on your senators on this bill. We
will keep you posted as soon as we know when it is scheduled for Senate floor debate.
Tax Incentives Bills Moving Through House
Committees
There was a lot of activity regarding the tax incentive bills this week as all three received
committee hearings, some of which were very contentious. The two primary bills,
S. 1201 sponsored by Senator Ken Cheuvront and S. 1274 sponsored by Senator Jay
Tibshraeny were considered in both the House Ways & Means and Counties, Municipalities
& Military Affairs Committees.
S. 1201, which preempts tax incentives in urbanized Maricopa County with exemptions for
infrastructure, redevelopment, historical district and brownfields projects, appeared to be
defeated in Ways & Means as the initial vote was 4-4 after very lengthy testimony and
debate. However, after heavy lobbying from some of her colleagues, Representative Ann
Kirkpatrick was persuaded to change her vote and requested a reconsideration of the bill
resulting in a 5-3 vote. The debate on the bill was equally contentious in Counties,
Municipalities & Military Affairs, where after an hour of debate, Senator Cheuvront requested
that the bill be held rather than voted on, presumably because its defeat in the committee
was looking more likely.
After some lengthy behind the scenes wrangling, it appears that Senator Cheuvront has given
up on S. 1201 as he has allowed a strike everything amendment completely unrelated to tax
incentives to be considered on the bill next week. However, he has not given up on the
concept as his preemptive language will be offered as a strike everything amendment to
H. 2499, sponsored by Representative Steve Huffman, which will be considered back in the
Senate on Tuesday in the Appropriations Committee.
- continued -
Lengthy testimony and close votes also occurred with
S. 1274, which mandates the process to be used when
awarding local tax incentives including a super majority
council vote, a preemption on using emergency measures
and third party auditing provisions. The bill passed 5-3 in
Ways & Means and 7-4 in Counties, Municipalities &
Military Affairs. The bill is now ready for consideration by
the House Rules Committee along with S. 1287, another
Senator Tibshraeny bill that is specifically limited to the
emergency measure preemption.
The debate on these bills has been very spirited and
contentious from day one. We are faced with a bipartisan
effort to limit our local tax incentive authority. The fact that
many republicans and democrats alike are supporting one or
both of these bills means that there is a very strong
possibility that at least one of these bills will pass. While
this week's activity suggests that S. 1274 is the most likely to
be enacted, Senator Cheuvront has made it very clear that
he has not given up on passing the language in S. 1201, now
likely to be added on to H. 2499. Please contact your
legislators and once again express your opposition to these
bills which will erode some of your local tax authority.
Committee Hearings
Nearing End
The House and Senate are approaching an important
deadline in the legislative session this week and are
anticipated to adhere to it, with only a few exceptions. At
the beginning of each session, the Senate President and
Speaker of the House set deadlines for the last date that bills
can be heard in the opposite chamber. This year the
deadline is set for Friday, April 1 st. Although there is
pressure in each chamber to extend the deadline for a week
because of the delay caused by budget work, the President
and Speaker appear to be staying firm with this deadline.
The Speaker is allowing House committees to meet for one
extra day next Monday and the President has not made a
similar announcement yet.
This deadline means that the Legislature has now shifted
into the next phase of wrapping up the legislative process.
After this deadline, any bill that has not received a
committee hearing is considered dead and the focus will
shift to floor action on bills and conference committees to
work out differences between House and Senate versions of
legislation. So far, only a few budget-related conference
committees have been scheduled, but more are expected in
the next week or two as the House and Senate work their
way through floor action and return bills to their chamber of
origin.
With the deadline passing this week, we would like to
extend our thanks to all the city and town elected officials
and staff that have taken the journey to the Capitol this year
to offer your expertise in committee testimony. As always,
your travel and effort made a big impact with the legislators
and helped League resolutions pass out of tough committees
and assisted in defeating some really bad bills.
As the number of live bills continues to dwindle, the
Legislature's as well as our focus will shift more and more
toward the passage of the state budget. We will be
watching closely to ensure that state shared revenue is not
considered as a possible means of augmenting state
revenues and will keep you updated on any new
breakthroughs between the Governor and Legislature on
budget negotiations.
Seeing Double? Harmful
Billboards Legislation Pops
Up in Both Chambers
This week, cities and towns were treated to not one, but
two, strike everything amendment that would cause serious
negative impacts on your ability to regulate the billboard
industry. This legislation is being pursued by Clear Channel
Communications, which has hired a team of lobbyists to
support their bills. If the team of lobbyists isn't a big enough
obstacle for local governments to overcome, the legislation
was introduced in identical form in both chambers and
assigned to the two committees where it had the highest
potential of passage.
The strike everything amendment cover many different
areas and would directly affect an Arizona Supreme Court
ruling regarding the City of Tucson and Clear Channel.
Rather than phasing out nonconforming billboards when
they fall into despair, the legislation would allow major
repairs and reconstruction so that the structure meets the
code standards that were in place at the time of original
construction rather than current code standards. This will
allow the noncompliant billboard use to remain in
perpetuity. The amendment also allows billboards to get
around lighting codes by deeming billboards to be in
compliance of codes if they meet the lighting standards that
were in place when the billboard was built.
The legislation was introduced as strike-everything
amendments to S. 1193 and H. 2144. The amendment to
S. 1193 was heard in the House Federal Mandates &
Property Rights Committee on Monday and passed by a
vote of 3-2. Our thanks to Representative Tom Prezelski for
his insightful comments on the bill's negative effects and for
his no vote on the bill. We are disappointed that
Representatives Chuck Gray, Judy Burges and David Burnell
Smith all made comments regarding problems and
unanswered questions they had with the bill, but still voted
in favor of it, encouraging Clear Channel to pursue
amendments on the House floor. The Senate Government
Accountability & Reform Committee passed the same
amendment to H. 2144 on Wednesday. It passed by a vote
of 3-0 with Senators Jack Harper, Bob Burns and Thayer
Verschoor voting in favor.
Both of these bills now make their way to the Senate and
House floors. Because they were introduced so late and
there are clearly a number of unanswered questions
regarding the legislation, we hope this will be an incentive
for strong opposition on the floor. Please make sure to
contact your legislators regarding these bills and let them
know how negatively they will impact your ability to
regulate billboards.

Development Fees
Reporting Mandate Passes
Senate Committee
Unanimously
A bill that we reported about in last week's Bulletin that
requires cities and towns to report on the assessment and
use of development fees passed the Senate Government
Accountability & Reform Committee unanimously this week.
The bill is being pursued by the Central Arizona
Homebuilders Association.
As originally introduced by Representative John Nelson,
H. 2066 would have required the information to be
provided to various state offices including the Governor and
Legislature and preempts the ability of municipalities to
collect impact fees if they have failed to submit reports to
the State. Representative Nelson eventually decided to
scale down the mandates and preemption by amending out
the reporting requirement to the State and replacing it with
language that requires the additional information to be filed
with the city or town clerk.
While much information regarding development fees is
already compiled by cities and towns, the bill would likely
mandate some new reporting for most municipalities as the
intent of the bill is to obtain greater specificity in how
development fees are used such as a specific list of capital
projects funded by each development fee. The amount of
time provided to compile the new reporting requirements
will also be problematic. Make sure to contact your
senators in opposition to this bill.
The bill moves next to Senate Rules and caucus and then to
the Senate floor.
One Down, One to Go on
Photo Radar
This week, cities and towns were able to defeat one of the
worst photo radar bills that was introduced this year, yet
were unable to stop another one from moving forward. The
defeated bill is H. 2260, Photo Enforcement Traffic
Complaints, which would have required cities and towns to
demonstrate at a hearing on a photo radar citation that the
defendant was driving the vehicle and the photo
enforcement device was in proper working order at the time
of the violation. It also would have placed additional
mandates on police departments to manually sign photo
radar complaints, which is a provision that would have been
a giant step backward as technology advances. Along with
other provisions, the bill would have made it extremely
burdensome for any city or town to use photo radar.
H. 2260 was considered in the Senate Transportation
Committee on Tuesday. It failed by a vote of 2-2 with
Senators Rebecca Rios and Victor Soltero voting against.
We thank them for their strong support of cities and towns
this session, as this committee has consistently voted down
bills that would harm local governments' ability to address
transportation safety.
Unfortunately, the House Transportation Committee passed
a bill on Thursday that would preempt cities and towns from
using photo radar on freeways. S. 1164: Photo Radar;
Controlled Access Highways would harm efforts by the city
of Scottsdale in coordination with DPS to use photo radar
on the Loop 101 Freeway. The future effects of the ban
could be felt by many municipalities that are concerned
with the safety of freeways within their borders. The
Committee passed the bill by a vote of 3-2. Thank you to
Scottsdale Councilmember Kevin Osterman for testifying in
Committee about the bill's negative impact. Our thanks
also go to Representatives Meg Burton Cahill and Tom
Prezelski for their comments against the bill. S. 1164 moves
next to House Rules and caucus.
Last Minute Surprise on
League Bond Resolution
On Wednesday, S. 1380, Local Obligation Bonds; Amount
passed the House Government Reform & Government
Finance Accountability Committee unanimously. This bill is
a League resolution brought forward by the City of
Scottsdale, which removes the limitations on General
Obligation bond premiums and will allow the additional
revenue from the premiums to be used as part of the debt
service on the bond, lowering the interest owed by the
municipality.
Despite the universal support this bill has received in the
Senate and House, S. 1380 was reassigned at the last minute
yesterday to the House Natural Resources & Agriculture
Committee and a strike-everything amendment to the bill
has been posted, which would erase the bond language and
change it to a bill on solar energy. This has apparently been
done with the blessing of the bill sponsor, Senator Dean
Martin. This is particularly disappointing, considering this
was a rather non-controversial League resolution and was
moving along smoothly. However, with the end of
committee hearings approaching, last minute surprises can
always be expected.
Transit Audit Bill is
Resurrected
A bill that would needlessly expand the auditing
requirements for the Maricopa County Regional
Transportation Plan has been brought back after failing in a
House committee earlier this year. The original bill,
H. 2292, Regional Transportation Plan; Performance Audits,
failed the House Transportation Committee by a vote of 3-6
on February 17'h. However, those legislators that were
against the Maricopa County Regional Transportation Plan,
specifically the light rail portion of the Plan, managed to
revive the legislation in a more favorable committee this
week.
- continued -
LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN
April 1 , 2005
PAGE 3
The legislation was introduced as a strike-everything
amendment to H. 2122 in the Senate Government
Accountability & Reform Committee by Senator Thayer
Verschoor. It is odd that although Senator Verschoor is
chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, which
would be the appropriate committee to discuss the Regional
Transportation Plan, he pursued the amendment in this
committee. We suspect it is because the amendment had a
much better chance of passing the Government
Accountability & Reform Committee.
The legislation passed the Committee by a vote of 4-1 with
Senators Jack Harper, Bob Burns, Thayer Verschoor and
Albert Hale voting in favor and Senator Richard Miranda
casting the lone "no" vote. H. 2122 moves next to Senate
Rules and caucus. Please make sure to let your senators
know that the current Transportation Plan audit
requirements are adequate and that new standards and
audits do not need to be added.
Tax Code Commission
Continuation Bill Headed to
Governor's Desk
On Tuesday, the House unanimously approved S. 1080,
which continues the Municipal Tax Code Commission for
another 10 years. This Commission provides oversight for
the Model City Tax Code and must approve changes to that
code before they can be implemented. Nine city and town
elected officials serve on the Commission.
Because S. 1080 was not amended in the House, it does not
need to go back to the Senate for a final vote. With its
passage on Tuesday, the bill will go to the Governor's desk
for approval. With the Legislature in session, the Governor
has five days to act on the bill. We have spoken to the
Governor's staff and have no reason to believe that she will
not sign the bill into law.
Anti-Inclusionary Zoning Bill
Passes House Committee
The House Government Reform & Government Finance
Accountability Committee considered and passed an anti-
inclusionary zoning bill on Wednesday that directly
contradicts the efforts of the League's fair housing resolution.
S. 1477: Local Planning; Residences; Fee Prohibition forbids
a county, municipality or special taxing district from
requiring that certain housing be designated for sale to a
specific class of pu rchasers.
S. 1477 passed the Committee by a vote of 6-2. Our thanks
to Representatives Phil Lopes and Ted Downing for their
arguments in favor of local control and against this
preemption and for voting no on the bill. S. 1477 moves
next to House Rules and caucus.

Issue No. 13
April 7,2005
Senate Amends and Passes the Cable Bill
Despite an all-out lobbying campaign against the cable bill by local governments, schools and
other public access television stakeholders, the Senate this week amended and then passed
the cable bill, H. 2563. This is particularly disappointing, considering a very positive press
conference that was held on Monday to oppose the cable bill.
There was a floor amendment offered by Senate President Ken Bennett and was very similar
to the compromise that was previously offered during earlier negotiations. The amendment
gave the legislation a delayed effective date of July 1,2007; a cap of 4% on license fees
provided that any jurisdiction whose license expires before July 1, 2010 would get a phase in
of the lower fee over three years with a reduction of one-third each year; two PEG channels
would be provided without charge and any other in-kind services could be negotiated with
the cable company but could not be required as a condition of license renewal.
The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 16-12 with some very curious votes. In an interesting
turn of events this afternoon, Senator Linda Aguirre, who originally voted for the bill, made a
motion for the bill to be returned from the House for reconsideration. This is because after
H. 2563 passed the Senate, it was immediately transmitted back to the House for the bill's
sponsor to reject or accept the Senate amendments. It is up to House Speaker Jim Weiers
whether or not to return the bill to the Senate. If the bill is returned to the Senate, any
senator that voted on the prevailing side (in favor of the bill) can make a motion to have the
bill be reconsidered. This means that there is potentially another shot to kill H. 2563 in the
Senate, while another vote in the House is definitely needed in order to pass the bill with the
Senate amendments.
We would like to sincerely thank Avondale Mayor Ron Drake, Chandler Mayor Boyd Dunn,
Mesa Mayor Keno Hawker, Paradise Valley Councilmember Virginia Simpson, Peoria Vice
Mayor Pat Dennis, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, Prescott Valley Councilmember Tom Steele,
Scottsdale Mayor Mary Manross, Tempe Vice Mayor Mark Mitchell, Winslow Mayor and
League President Jim Boles and Yuma Mayor Larry Nelson for making the trip to the Capitol
to attend the press conference. In addition, a big thank you to all of the city and town staff
members for helping with and attending the event.
We will keep you posted on any new developments on H. 2563. Although it passed the
Senate this morning, the motion to bring it back to the Senate means that the cable bill's fate
is not sealed yet. As new developments on the bill could occur quickly and the House,
Senate and Governor could all take action within the next week, please contact your state
elected officials to express your opposition to the bill.
Senator Cheuvront Resurrects his Tax
Incentives Preem ption
Senator Ken Cheuvront was able to salvage his tax incentives legislation in the Senate this
week as a strike-everything to H. 2499 after he gave up in the House last week on S. 1201,
where it was held in the Counties, Municipalities and Military Affairs Committee and the bill
was used as a vehicle for a strike-everything amendment on a different issue. H. 2499,
originally sponsored by Representative Steve Huffman, was amended with a strike-everything
amendment in the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, where it passed
u nan i mously.
- continued -
The strike-everything amendment offered by Senator
Cheuvront contains nearly the same provisions as S. 1201,
including a preemption of tax incentives in urbanized
Maricopa County with exemptions for infrastructure,
redevelopment, historical district and brownfields projects.
However, the one difference is that H. 2499 now contains a
conditional enactment and will take effect unless the
Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) develops and
implements a regional plan to eliminate excessive incentives
approved by the joint Legislative Budget Committee before
August 2006.
The bill went through Senate caucus on Wednesday and is
expected on the floor shortly. In addition, S. 1274 is
expected to be voted on by the full House soon. S. 1274 is
the bill sponsored by Senator jay Tibshraeny that mandates
the process to be used when awarding local tax incentives
including a super majority council vote, a preemption on
using emergency measures and third party auditing
provisions.
Please contact your legislators and once again express your
opposition to these bills, which will erode some of your local
tax authority.

Senator Bob Burns continues to wage his anti-city campaign
to cut revenue sharing. His earlier bill to do so was pulled
by the underlying sponsor so he came back today in his
Appropriations Committee with another strike-everything
amendment to zero out from the urban revenue sharing
program any city with a population over 100,000.
Unfortunately, a majority of his Committee agreed with him
so the bill now moves to the floor of the Senate for a vote.
The latest version of the cut is on H. 2624, which until today
was a bill which had the State paying back the highway user
revenue fund for last year's raid on the state portion of the
vehicle license tax. It is ironic or perhaps "par for the
course" that Senator Burns actually used a bill we supported
for his vehicle to decimate the urban revenue sharing
program.
The bill reduces urban revenue sharing (the city share of the
state income tax) to all cities over 100,000 in population
beginning in 2006-2007 until 2014-2015 when no city or
town in that population category would receive any of the
funds. The bill does not specify how much the funds would
be cut each year during the phase down. The legislation
directs the joint Legislative Budget Committee and the
Governor's Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting to
jointly compute an amount for distribution to these cities
which provides for an annual uniform reduction. The bill
also includes a provision calling for a minimum distribution
for towns under 1,500 in population of $100,000 per year
from both sales tax and income tax sharing.
The bill couples the cut in revenue sharing with a reduction
in state income taxes on both the individual and corporate
side. This no doubt is good politics, but it also avoids the
need for an extraordinary vote in the Legislature since the
bill will result in no net gain of revenue to the State.
The immediate effect of the cut is on the large cities and
towns, but Senator jake Flake put it best when the first
version of the revenue sharing cut was in caucus earlier in
the session. He indicated that although the bill did not
directly impact cities and towns in his District, that his
mayors understood "divide and conquer" and that he
vigorously opposed the bill. We hope all of you regardless
of size will join him in his opposition to this bill and call your
Senators to oppose H. 2624.
Billboards Legislation Still
Lurking Around House and
Senate Floor
The very harmful legislation that was introduced as nearly
identical strike-everything amendments in the House and
Senate last week is still alive, although it has not advanced to
the House or Senate floor yet. Both bills, H. 2144 and S.
1193, were skipped on their respective floor debate
calendars this week, which could mean that further
amendments are being prepared, or that the bills lack the
votes to pass.
The bills cover many different areas and would directly
affect an Arizona Supreme Court ruling regarding the city of
Tucson and Clear Channel. Rather than phasing out
nonconforming billboards when they fall into disrepair, the
legislation would allow major repairs and reconstruction so
that the structure meets the code standards that were in
place at the time of original construction rather than current
code standards. This will allow the noncompliant billboard
use to remain in perpetuity. The amendment also allows
billboards to get around lighting codes by deeming
billboards to be in compliance of codes if they meet the
lighting standards that were in place when the billboard was
built.
Please continue to keep in touch with your senators and
representatives on this bill and let them know that you are
opposed to last minute attacks on local governments'
authority to regulate billboards.
Tax Refunds Bill Clears
Senate
This week the Senate approved a bill that would change the
way cities and towns handle sales tax refunds and the
interest rates charged on delinquencies or paid on refunds.
This issue was originally considered at the Municipal Tax
Code Commission, but supporters of the concept decided to
pursue this change at the Legislature instead.

H. 2055, Municipal Sales Tax; Refunds principally affects
the 12 cities that collect and administer their own sales tax,
rather than contracting with the State Department of
Revenue. It specifies a different procedure for the payment
of refunds prohibiting cities from requiring the taxpayer to
give the money back to their customers. It would also
specify that the interest rate charged or paid by cities would
be calculated using an IRS index rather than the standard
1 % charged today.
Amending the model city tax code at the Legislature is a bad
idea. First, it further erodes local taxing authority and the
ability of local officials to determine local tax policy. In
addition, it creates confusion when state law preempts local
code provisions because state law then says one thing while
the code says another.
On one good note, the bill was amended to remove the
retroactive effective date. Originally, H. 2055 would have
applied to any pending litigation on June 30, 2005. The bill
will now only apply to future refund cases.
H. 2055 passed the Senate by a vote of 18-11 and now
moves back to the House for the sponsor, Representative
Steve Huffman, to accept or reject the Senate changes. If he
accepts the changes, the bill will have a final vote in the
House and if he rejects the Senate changes, the bill will be
sent to a conference committee.
Sine Die Potentially a Week
or Two Away
While that may seem hard to believe, the word from both
House and Senate leadership is that they are looking at a
final adjournment date within a couple weeks. Reports
from the budget negotiations with the Governor have been
positive, and Senate President Ken Bennett reported on
Wednesday that they are "close to being close" on the
budget. The only details that President Bennett would
reveal is that he is negotiating on four key issues to keep his
caucus on board, which are no additional bonding,
spending within the State's means, not taking money from
the "Rainy Day Fund" and no additional borrowing.
Earlier in the week, House Speaker Jim Weiers announced
that the House would be working on Friday in an attempt to
finish action on bills by April 15th, the target Sine Die date.
However, on Wednesday, he said that the House will not be
working on Friday. Both the President and the Speaker
have been very committed to the April 15th Sine Die date,
however, given the cancellation of Friday's meetings, this
date might be pushed back by a week or two. All
indications remain that legislative leadership is aiming to
adjourn as soon as possible.
We will keep you up to date should any budget
breakthroughs occur.
