Resolution No. 2000-91 ~ Woehlck Horse Variance: The Council will be sitting as the Board of Adjustment for this item. Request by Gerald and Jay Woehlck for approval of a Variance from Section 05.10.02.D. # of the Marana Land Development Code to reduce the minimum setback for horse corrals from 200' to 50' for the northern boundary only of their property located at 5050 W. Angel Drive, southeast of the corner of Dove mountain Boulevard and Tangerine Road within a portion of Section 1, Township 12 South, Range 12 East. Assessor's Parcel Number: 216-02-006B. The applicants are Gerald and Jay Woehlck, 7542 N. Old Father, Tucson, AZ 85741. Mr. Reuwsaat stated that the approval of this resolution did not allow horses back onto the property but did allow the variation of the corral setbacks. He said that, after the house was built and accessory uses were accepted, horses would be allowed. Dorothy Sharnetsky, resident, spoke before the Council regarding her objections to horses or corrals being allowed on the Woehick property before a single family residence had been constructed and occupied. She said that she had no objections to the request for removal of the property from the Tangerine Hills Specific Plan or to the rezoning of the parcels to the R-144 designation. A letter written by Ms. Sharnetsky has been made a permanent part of this record. Gerald Woehlck, applicant, said that the horses were moved to a property just north of his property which he believed to be grandfathered in as horse property. Dorothy Taylor, resident, stated that the property north of the Woehick property was not grandfathered in as horse property and she had never seen any livestock on this property in over 30 years of living adjacent to it. She remarked that she had no objections to having the two parcels in question removed from the Specific Plan and being rezoned to R-144 but that she did have an objection to the approval of the horse variance request. She added that there should be a time limit set for the beginning of construction of the residence and that the corrals needed to be removed until the home was completed and occupied. A letter written by Ms. Taylor has been made a permanent part of this record. Council Member Ziegler said that the approval of Ordinance No. 2000.15, just prior to the hearing of this item, had been a Council action in response to specific requests by the Taylors, Sharnetskys, and the Woehicks. She remarked that the approval of Resolution No. 2000-91 did not mean that the Woehlck's could have horses on their property at this time. She said that the horses would be allowed back onto the property only after the Town Code requirements for the R-144 designation had been fulfilled and the Woehlcks had obtained a certificate of occupancy for their home. 4 MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN HALL OCTOBER 3, 2000 Mayor Sutton clarified that this resolution was approving a reduction in the minimum setback for corrals from 200' to 50' for only the northern side of the Woehlck property. Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member Kai, Resolution No. 2000-91 was unanimously approved. 5. Purchase of 1000 Acre Feet of Incentive Recharge Central Arizona Project Water for the Year 2001 (Brad DeSpain) Mr. Reuwsaat briefly explained this item and said that it was a good arrangement for Marana. He said that this water was being offered to the Town at a third of the cost and would be banked for future uses. He recommended the approval of this purchase. Upon motion by Council Member Harn, seconded by Council Member Kai, the authority to purchase 1000-acre feet of incentive recharge CAP water for the year 2001 was unanimously approved. C. Mayor and Council's Report Council Member Harn commended Jocelyn Entz, Diane Mangialardi, and Sandy Groseclose for all of the hard work each had put into the planning of an upcoming memorial service for 19 Marines killed in the Osprey Helicopter crash last spring. This service will be held on October 6, 2000 at the Marana Northwest Regional Airport and will host the families of these Marines as well as many Marana residents, military personnel, local dignitaries and other government representatives. Council Member Ham also reported that it had been a pleasure to work with Mr. Reuwsaat since he was hired as the Assistant Town Manager and that he had already proven to be a great help to her on several projects.
