Berlin, AICP, Planning Director SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-121: Relating to Development; approving and authorizing an amended final plat re-subdivision of lots 266, 268 and 269 and Common Areas "A" and "B" for The Preserve II at Dove Mountain. DISCUSSION The original final plat for The Preserve II at Dove Mountain, which includes lots 183 through 305 and Common Areas "A", "B" and "D", was adopted by the Town Council on August 17, 2004 by Resolution 2004-126. This request is to re-subdivide lots 266, 268 and 269 and Common Areas "A" and "B" with the elimination of lot 267. Cottonwood Properties is requesting this amended final plat partial re-subdivision in order to accommodate the subdivision to the north, Quail Crossing II at Dove Mountain as recorded in Book 55, Page 23. The residents of Quail Crossing II thought that lots along their southern boundary would not border against or be near lots in The Preserve. The master developer of Dove Mountain made a request for this change in order to accommodate the property owners in Quail Crossing II. This proposed partial re-subdivision increases the amount of common area open space between lots in the two subdivisions, as well as removing one lot from The Preserve II at Dove Mountain. ATTACHMENTS Summary of application, locator map, final plat and revised final plat. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approving an amended final plat partial re-subdivision of The Preserve II at Dove Mountain, Lots 266, 268 and 269 and Common Areas "A" and "B". Staffhas reviewed the application for compliance with the original final plat for The Preserve II at Dove Mountain adopted by Resolution 2004-126, the Dove Mountain Specific Plan, the Marana Land Development Code and the Marana General Plan. This final plat is in substantial conformance with all required development regulations and conditions of zoning. SUGGESTED MOTION I move to approve Resolution No. 2005-121.

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Barbara C. Berlin AICP, Planning Director SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-123: Relating to Development; approving and authorizing a preliminary plat for Gladden Farms Block 19. DISCUSSION ReQuest and Commission Historv The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval for a 46-1ot single family detached home subdivision on approximately 15 acres within the Gladden Farms Development. This project was presented to the Planning Commission on June 29, 2005. The Planning Commission is forwarding this preliminary plat to the Town Council with a unanimous recommendation of approval. Location The proposed subdivision will be located in Block 19 of the Gladden Farms block plat, which is west of Lon Adams and north of Tangerine Farms Road. Zonine: and Builder Information The zoning for Block 19 is R-8 (Single Family Residential with a minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet). The smallest lot size within this project is lot 23 at 8,243 square feet with an average lot size for the subdivision of 8,601 square feet. Gladden Forest L.L.C. does not currently have a builder for Block 19. Once a builder has committed to this Block, staff will review the proposed floor plans and elevations for conformance with Town Standards, the Northwest Marana Area Plan and the Gladden Farms Design Standards. Transportation This project will have one access from Lon Adams Road and will also internally connect to Block 17 to the north. Park ReQuirements and Benefit Fee Area Per the Marana Land Development Code, only subdivisions of 50 lots or more are required to provide on-site recreation. This subdivision only has 46 lots and is therefore not subject to that requirement. However, the developer is proposing an on-site recreation area for a portion of common area "C-1".

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Barbara C. Berlin, AICP, Planning Director AGENDA TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2005.18: Relating to Development; approving and authorizing amendments to Land Development Code Title 05.10.07-.12; Zoning and Title 8.06; Residential Design DISCUSSION History The appearance of new neighborhoods has been one of Mayor and Council's foremost policy concerns for the past several years. In January 2004 they added residential design requirements to the general requirements title of the Land Development Code, but at the Council/management retreat in September 2004 directed staff to prepare a more comprehensive set of design standards. The planning director met with a committee of developers and builders representing SAHBA over a period of months beginning in October and the planning, public works, and building department staffs all contributed to the draft standards. The Planning Commission considered the draft ordinance for recommendation following a public hearing June 29,2005 and forwarded it to Council for consideration. Subsequently, individual Council Members offered several modifications to that draft. Senior management met with SAHBA members August 15 to present the proposed ordinance and to obtain their comments. Following a study session presentation August 23 staff made several corrections/modifications as follows: . Effective date for residential standards: 90 days from adoption (January 1, 2006). . Refined definition of four-sided architecture. . Expanded allowable front dwelling fayade elements. . Modified required architectural variety for developments with fewer than 30 lots. · Modified garage set back from house from 10 to seven feet.

Berlin, AICP, Planning Director SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2005.19: Relating to Development; adopting a specific plan amendment for The Pines Phase II. DISCUSSION Reauest A request to amend the Continental Ranch Specific Plans land use plan, residential site development and general subdivision standards on approximately 55 acres. The parcels affected by this amendment will be consolidated into one parcel (62E). This amendment will be applicable to parcel62E only. The land use plan amendment will change the land use designation of parcel 62C, "C*" (Freeway Commercial 2.5 acres), and parcels 62, 62D and 73 "RR" (Residential Recreation 52.5 acres), to "MHD" (Medium High Density Residential). The residential site development standards amendment will modify the permitted uses, maximum building height, and building setbacks for "MHD" (Medium High Density Residential) as indicated in the table below. The general subdivision standards amendment will modify the minimum right-of way width and pavement section discussed below. Location The affected portion of the specific plan is located north of Arizona Pavilions Drive, east of the Santa Cruz River, and west ofInterstate 10. Zonim! and Lot Size The Continental Ranch Specific Plan designates parcels 62, 62D and 73 as "RR" (Residential Recreation) and parcel 62C as "C*" (Freeway Commercial). The proposed specific plan amendment changes these to "MHD" (Medium High Density Residential). The minimum lot size in the "MHD" designation is 3,000 square feet. The tentative development plan proposes 303 lots with a project density of six units per acre. Lot sizes will range from 3,000 to 6,000 square feet. The following table illustrates the proposed changes to the specific plan: CURRENT Permitted Uses Building Height Front Setback Parking Single family dwelling with party walls or walled courtyards, town homes. Maximum building height: 30 feet, two stories. Front building setback: 20 feet Parking: A minimum of two on-site parking spaces (including garage, carport and lor driveway) for each dwelling unit shall be provided. PROPOSED Permitted Uses Building Height Front Setback Parking Single family dwellings, attached or detached, with party walls, front porches or walled courtyards. Maximum building height: Parcel 62E shall not exceed three stories and thirty six (36) feet. Front building setback: Parcel 62E, ten (10) feet to livable area, twenty (20) feet to garage and ten (10) feet for a side loaded garage. The garage shall not extend beyond the livable portion of the dwelling when the house is forward. Parking: Parcel 62E shall have the option of tandem parking. The mInImUm interior width dimension of a double garage shall be 19 feet 6 inches. Tandem parking shall have a minimum interior width of 11 feet. Transportation Plan The local streets within the subdivision will be private with on-street parking limited to one side of the street. This amendment proposes to reduce the right-of-way width of 50 feet to 46 feet. In addition, the applicant requests a design exception (accompanied with this proposal provided approval is granted) from the Town of Marana adopted street standards by reducing the required pavement width from 32 feet to 26 feet and increasing the maximum width of 5 feet for landscaping and sidewalk area to 8 feet (refer to exhibit HIC.1, page 9 Continental Ranch Specific Plan Amendment) Northwest Fire District issued a letter granting approval for the proposed street width in and ensures it will enforce parking restrictions on the proposed private streets (Appendix C, page 18, Continental Ranch Specific Plan Amendment Proposal). Considering the availability of on street parking, driveway parking and the trend for households to have more cars than occupants, staff recommends the following requirement as a condition of this specific plan amendment: the applicant shall provide a parking plan for Phase HB with the submittal of the preliminary plat. The parking plan shall indicate where units do not provide two spaces in the driveway and one space on street and compensate with additional spaces either on- street or in a visitor parking lot. 091905 SPA-05052 The Pines Phase II Specific Plan Amend -2- Parks and Recreation Amenities The subdivision includes two active recreational facilities for both Phase IIa and lIb. Phase lIb will include a swimming pool with shade structures and parking. Phase IIa will include play equipment with a turf area and parking.

SUGGESTED MOTION I move to approve Ordinance No. 2005.19. -4- 091905 SPA-05052 The Pines Phase 11 Specific Plan Amend TOWN COUNCIL MEETING INFORMATION MEETING DATE: TOWN OF MARANA September 19,2005 AGENDA ITEM: J.4. TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2005.20: Relating to Utilities; Amending the Marana Town Code by adding new Chapter 16 entitled "Utilities Board," Cre- ating the Utilities Board of the Town of Marana and setting forth the Duties of the Board; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances; and providing for severability DISCUSSION Outside counsel, Michael Curtis, has recommended the creation of a Utilities Board, to maximize the Town's chances of being awarded Parker-Davis electrical power for use in connection with Town utilities and facilities. Consistent with that request, this proposed ordinance would create a seven-member Town of Marana Utilities Board, consisting of the Town Utilities Director, a Council-appointed wastewater representative, the Town Operations Director, the Town Finance Director, a Town Assistant Manager designated by the Town Manager, a Council-appointed Town resident, and one member of the Council appointed by the Council. The proposed ordi- nance also provides for Council to appoint one of the Board's members to act as chair. Council appointments to the Utilities Board are recommended in connection with a separate resolution on tonight's agenda. The Board would manage and operate the water, wastewater, street lights, electric and other utility functions of the town, subject to Town Council direction and decision- making on matters involving utility rates, the budget, capital acquisitions, and approval of certain contracts. Day-to-day operations would continue to be the responsibility of the Town Utilities Director under the supervision of the Town Manager. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2005.20, establishing the Town of Marana's Utili- ties Board. SUGGESTED MOTION I move to adopt Ordinance No. 2005.20. {OOOOI270.DOC I} FJC/cds 9/12/05 TOWN COUNCIL MEETING INFORMATION TOWN OF MARAN A MEETING DATE: September 19, 2005 AGENDA ITEM: J.5. TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-124: Relating to Utilities; Making Town Council Appointments to the Town of Marana Utilities Board. DISCUSSION If the Council adopts Ordinance No. 2005.20 on tonight's agenda, establishing the Town ofMa- rana Utilities Board, it will be necessary for the Council to appoint three of the Utilities Board members - the wastewater representative, the citizen representative, and the Town Council rep- resentative. The Council will also need to appoint a Utilities Board chair. Proposed Resolution No. 2005-124 would appoint former Pima County Wastewater Director George Brinsko as the wastewater representative. Mr. Brinsko has several decades of experience in the field of wastewater management, and is the most qualified imaginable candidate for the position. The proposed resolution appoints Steve Wacker as the citizen representative. Mr. Wacker has many years of experience working for electric utility companies and acting as a consultant re- garding electrical utility matters. He is well qualified to sit as the citizen member of the Utilities Board. The proposed resolution would appoint Bob Allen as the Town Council representative to the Utilities Board. As the newest member of the Town Council, a position on the Board Utilities would give Mr. Allen a unique opportunity to oversee Town utility functions. The proposed resolution is silent as to the Utilities Board chair and invites Council's insertion of the Chair's name from the dais. If the Council desires, this resolution may be amended to appoint individuals different from those set forth in the draft resolution. The names set forth in the draft are simply Staffs recom- mended appointments to the Utilities Board. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends making appointments to the newly-created Town Utilities Board. SUGGESTED MOTION I move to adopt Resolution No. 2005-124. (00001273. DOC /) FJC/cds 9/12/05 TOWN COUNCIL MEETING INFORMATION TOWN OF MARANA MEETING DATE: September 19, 2005 AGENDA ITEM: J.6. TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2005.21: Relating to Real Estate; approving an ex- change of real property located in the Gladden Farms Develop- ment Project; authorizing the Mayor to execute a real estate ex- change agreement with Gladden Forest L.L.C., and any other documents necessary to accomplish the exchange. DISCUSSION The Marana Public Arts Center located in the Heritage Park has a very small setback from the southern boundary of Block 13 of the Gladden Farms Project. This proposed exchange would transfer an irregular-shaped strip of property along the south edge of Blocks 7 and 13 of Gladden Farms and a generally triangular-shaped parcel at the southwest comer of Tangerine Farms Road and Heritage Park Drive to the Town, consisting of about 2.438 acres, in exchange for an identi- cal-sized parcel of land previously dedicated to the Town as part of the Gladden Farms Block Plat (specifically, a portion of Block A) located at the south edge of Block 25 of Gladden Farms. This exchange will give the Marana Public Arts Center some "elbow room" from the homes to be built within Blocks 7 and 13 of Gladden Farms and will give a view-shed area from Tangerine Farms Road into the portion of the Heritage Park where the Marana Public Arts Center is lo- cated. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2005.21, authorizing the Gladden Farms Exchange Agreement.

Thomas Gill, Jr., Director of Public Works AGENDA TITLE: Relating to Floodplain Management: Presentation of a request for a variance from Title 21, Floodplain and Erosion Hazard Management Code, for property located at 14475 W. Imogene Place. Continued from the meeting of August 16, 2005. DISCUSSION A request has been made by Mr. Michael Burbage, 14475 W. Imogene Place, seeking a variance from Title 21 of the Land Development Code, (The Floodplain Ordinance). Mr. Burbage seeks to remove two mobile home structures from his property that total 1748 square feet and construct a site built home of no more than 1748 square feet. Mr. Burbage desires to construct this new home 75 feet back from the Imogene Place right of way. This request requires a variance: The floodway of the Santa Cruz River, which after a detailed study was remapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) on March 10,2005, covers Mr. Burbage's property. The attached exhibit is based upon recent GIS shape files that have been incorporated into the Town's GIS system. The floodway by FEMA definition is the stream channel and that portion of the adjacent floodplain that must remain open to permit passage of the base flood. Floodwaters generally are deepest and swiftest in the floodway, and anything in this area is in the greatest danger during a flood. Marana Land Development Code Title 21 Section 21.08A also does not allow residential uses in the floodway. Floodplain Ordinance, Section 21.08C permits the Town to require a study by a registered professional engineer showing that the proposed use will not increase the floodway elevations during the base flood and will not divert, retard or obstruct the flow of flood waters. The Code of Federal Regulations, Section 44-60.6(a) Section 1 provides: "Variances shall not be issued by a community within any designated regulatory flo0 dway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result." Mr. Burbage's letter asserts that he cannot afford to hire an engineer and therefore requests a variance from this requirement. Mr. Burbage's property is already jeopardized by its location within the floodway. Construction of a site built home would increase the property's value and the consequent loss to Mr. Burbage Burbage Floodplain Variance 8/1612005 KEB should even a minor flood occur. Additionally, the likely increase in floodwater elevations upstream would increase his neighbors' flood hazards. FEMA and the Town have strict guidelines on the granting of variances. Variances should a) be the minimum relief necessary; b) not be based upon financial considerations; and c) not result in increased flood elevations. Mr. Burbage's request is not the minimum relief necessary. The Town of Marana has been working with Pima County Flood Control District to make the Floodprone Land Acquisition Program (FLAP) available to residents whose properties still remain in the floodway after the LOMR. Mr. Burbage has been advised of this program and an appraisal was conducted. To date, Mr. Burbage has not wanted to participate in this program. Mr. Burbage's inability to afford an engineering study to ensure that flood heights will not increase is not a valid reason to waive a study. Without the study it cannot be determined what the increase in flood elevations would be. If a variance were granted contrary to the Floodplain Ordinance and FEMA regulations, FEMA could impose probationary penalties upon the Town, including increased flood insurance premiums for all Town of Marana residents who purchase flood insurance and difficulty in accessing Federal flood relief funds if flooding occurs. Ultimate long term implications for variances in the floodway could be suspension by FEMA of the community. If this were to occur, no new flood insurance policies would be written, all current flood insurance policies would not be renewed, and all federal loans (including FDIC insured loans) would be recalled for immediate payment of their outstanding balances. There are other areas of the Marana Land Development Code that Mr. Burbage would require relief from in order to construct a new residence. Title 21 Section 21.12A-1.a requires a 500 foot erosion hazard setback from the Santa Cruz River's 100 year floodway/primary channel bank. The property is also located in Marana land use Zone D - floodway. To allow residential construction, the property will need to be rezoned. Depending upon the new zoning designation, a variance from front building setback may be necessary to avoid the flood way. Mr. Burbage has requested a continuance for this item. ATTACHMENTS (Not Included) Letter from Mr. Burbage dated June 6,2005 requesting variance and including an enlargement of a LOMR map. Exhibit ofMr. Burbage's property showing existing trailers, right of way, and floodway prepared by Marana GIS department. Exhibit shows a scanned representation of the floodway from previous information and the latest digital representation of the floodway provided by FEMA. -2- RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Floodplain Management Board deny the variance since it does not meet the requirements set forth in the Floodplain Ordinance. The health, safety, and welfare of Mr. Burbage, surrounding residents, and the Town in general would be compromised by the granting of a variance. SUGGESTED MOTION I move to approve the applicant's request for a continuance. -3-
