is A & C Properties 11811 N. Tatum Boulevard, Suite 2550, Phoenix, AZ. 85028.
Hurvie Davis: Item 6 was inadvertently placed on the Consent Agenda, it should not be there. It
would be more appropriate to pull that item off the Consent Agenda.
Bobby Sutton, Jr.: Could that just be attached to Item B, put it at the end.
Hurvie Davis: It could because it is associated with Item B.
Mayor Honea: If Council has no problems with it, Item A6 will be taken off the Consent Agenda, it
will be handled along with Item B.
A motion was made by Bobby Sutton, Jr., seconded by Sharon Price and carried unanimously to
approve the Consent Agenda with Items 1 through S.
C. Resolution No. 96-95; The Bluffs at Red Hawk - Request for approval of a single family
detached home subdivision Preliminary Plat located at the northeast corner of Red Hawk
Boulevard and Moore Road in the South 1/2 of Section 35, Township 11 South, Range 12
East. Property owner/applicant is Cottonwood Properties, Inc., 3567 E. Sunrise Drive, #219
Tucson, AZ 85718.
Hurvie Davis: This is a request for approval of a single family detached home subdivision
preliminary plat, 253 detached homes on 97.2 acres. The Planning Commission has approved this
item.
Jerry Flannery: This item did go to the Planning Commission in September. The proposal complies
with the Specific Plan as it exists. Currently it is named the Tortolita Mountain Specific Plan. There
were 1,760 units approved for U S Home and a golf course on that property, this property abuts
that across Red Hawk Boulevard. There are minimal conditions on this, basically Staff is
recommending approval.
A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Bobby Sutton, Jr. and carried unanimously to
approve Resolution No. 96-95, the Preliminary Plat for The Bluffs at Red Hawk, by Cottonwood
Properties., for a single family detached home subdivision, located in the South 1/2 of Section 25,
Township 11 South, Range 12 East subject to the following conditions: 1. Review and approval by

the Tortolita Mountain Properties Limited Partnership Development Review Committee. 2. That the
plant vegetation shall comply with the Salvage and Mitigation Program specified in the Specific Plan.
3. Resolution of issues involving Moore Road right-of-way.
D. Resolution No. 96-96: The Villages at Red Hawk- Request for approval of a single family
detached home subdivision Preliminary Plat located at the southeast corner of Red Hawk
Hurvie Davis: This is similar to the last item. This is the approval of a Preliminary Plat for The
Villages at Red Hawk, 293 single family homes on 63.4 acres. The Planning Commission has
approved this and Staff recommends Council's approval on this item.
Jerry Flannery: The zoning on this property is mixed use commercial. Under mixed use commercial
in the Tortolita Mountain Specific Plan medium density residential is allowed. Staff is recommending
approval with the same conditions as the previous recommendation.
A motion was made by Bobby Sutton, Jr., seconded by Sharon Price and carried unanimously to
approve Resolution No. 96-96, the Preliminary Plat for The Villages at Red Hawk, by Cottonwood
Properties Inc., for a single family detached home subdivision, located in the Northeast 1/4 of
Section 35, Township 11 South, Range 12 East subject to the following conditions: 1. Review and
approval by the Tortolita Mountain Properties Limited Partnership Development Review Committee.
2. That the plant vegetation shall comply with the Salvage and Mitigation Program specified in
the Specific Plan. 3, Resolution of issues involving Red Hawk Boulevard and Moore Road right-of-
way.
H. Resolution No. 96-97 - Vacating portions of Moore Road and Tortolita Road (Known as Red
Hawk Boulevard) right-of-way which are no longer necessary for Town use.
Hurvie Davis: This is a request for the Town to vacate 4.53 acres of right-of-way in the Moore
Road/ Red Hawk Boulevard area. This issue came before Council a year or so ago as it relates to the
realignment of Moore Road at Red Hawk Boulevard. We have been working with the developers to
abandon and vacate that right-of-way on the west side of Red Hawk Boulevard. This item pertains to
the two previous items Council just acted on. Staff is recommending a vacation of that to the
abutting property owners since they realigned Moore Road and dedicated the new right-of-way to the
Town. This is with the condition that we receive the approval from the potentially affected utility
companies. We are prepared to recommend the vacation of Moore Road on the West side. Staff has
no problem vacating this right-of-way subject to the legal descriptions meeting the requirements of
the Town Engineer and the Town Attorney.
A motion was made by Bobby Sutton, Jr., seconded by Ora Harn and carried unanimously to
approve Resolution No. 96-97 approving the vacation of 3.43 acres of Moore Road and Tortolita Road
immediately West of Tortolita Road known as Red Hawk Boulevard with the clarification of meeting
the legal descriptions.
E. Marana Chamber of Commerce - Quarterly financial reports and documentation of the
development of tourism and business expansion by the Marana Chamber of Commerce.
Hurvie Davis: A year or so back the Town entered into an agreement with the Chamber of
Commerce to support their activities in terms of economic development and tourism for our
Community. The Town agreed to give the Chamber a grant in quarterly installments, a condition of
that was they report to the Town on the progress and activity related. They also were requested to
provide financial reports as well. Mr. Davis has been receiving the reports on the activity. He can't
remember if the Town received the financial report or not. It is before Council this evening as part of
the packet. We are prepared to try and answer any questions that Council might have regarding any
of the activities Council might have. We would also like input on how the Council would like to
handle this matter in the future.
Mayor Hones: Were reports being forwarded to Council or were they just being filed,
Hurvie Davis: He would review them and then put them in the Council's room at the Town Hall.
Maybe copies should be made for each of the Council Members.
Sherry Millner: She was very impressed with the report, it told Council what the Chamber is doing.
She would like to just receive a copy of the report.
Mayor Hones: We could have the Chamber of Commerce put in with the applicable Staff reports
when they come in on a quarterly basis.
F. Marana Park Rest Room Project - Update.
Hurvie Davis: Mr. Harvey Gill, assistant to Mr. Atler has been ram rodding this project. He is out
sick today and is unable to attend the meeting tonight. Council may wish to continue this item. Mr.
Gill did discuss this item with Mr. Davis and basically what we're talking about is redoing the rest
rooms in the Park.
Ora Harn: She doesn't see any reason for putting this item off, it has been put off long enough.
A motion was made by Ora Ham, seconded by Sharon Price and carried unanimously to direct the
Public Works staff to proceed with the selection of a modular rest room facility that will be in concert
with the future architectural improvements to the Marana Park. Direct Public Works staff to enter
into a supplemental agreement with PayKar Construction, Inc. to provide a modular rest room
facility and the incidental work thereof. Direct the staff to transfer the additional funds from the
Capital Improvement Program necessary to cover the cost of the modular structure and incidental
work thereto.
G. First Reading • Revised Disciplinary Action Policy and Grievance Procedures Policy found
in the Marana Personnel Policy Manual.
Jane Johnson: Ms. Johnson gave Council an overview of this item.
Ora Harn: She thinks this is an excellent idea.
Hurvie Davis: This is a continuation of a Public Hearing that was on the last Council Agenda. There
was a lot of discussion at the last Council meeting and staff was directed to go back and meet with
the developer. Staff met with the developer for two and a half hours today on this matter and we are
not ready at this time to recommend to the Council any specifics as to how this thing would proceed.
We still have differences. When parties met last week staff left the meeting with the understanding
that there was one issue that was remaining that was not agreed upon. As a result of the meeting
that was held today it seems like there are more issues that are still unresolved, That is his
assessment of it. What the Council could do this evening is to agree or approve in concept perhaps
the Specific Plan with conditions and so forth that the Council wishes to see. And then direct staff to
go back and prepare an Ordinance for the next Council Meeting. The Ordinance that is before
Council this evening is not satisfactory, another Ordinance was worked on the latter part of last
week, which was thought to have basically resolved most of the issues. Then another Ordinance was
prepared which put the Town at odds with the two that were already out.
Dan Hochuli: We tried to prepare the documents for Council's packet. On Wednesday of last week
there was a meeting and as a result of that meeting some new agreements were reached. Another
ordinance was prepared, another draft of the Ordinance with different conditions was prepared that
was hoped to have addressed all the agreements that were made. If it is the pleasure of the Mayor
and Council Mr. Hochuh has a copy with the revisions that was prepared by his office last Friday. He
could distribute it tonight but he thinks Staff is recommending this Ordinance as drafted.
Mayor Hones: The Town has been unable to reach an agreement, He thought an agreement had
been reached at the last meeting. One thing that the Mayor has become very discouraged by is the
Council directly negotiating contracts and agreements at a Council meeting off the dais. It is his

MARANA TOWN COUNCIL

opinion that the Staff has Council's direction and these should be negotiated with Staff. It should
come back to the Council once it is all prepared for approval
Sharon Price; She doesn't appreciate the last minute negotiating on either side. Why is there such a
hold up on this issue.
Dave Atler: He believes that all parties involved know what the Council wants. A great deal of time
was spent preparing an Ordinance that the Town felt reflected the desires of the Council from two
weeks ago. That Ordinance was faxed to the applicant; they reviewed it and requested a meeting last
Wednesday.
Dan Hochuli: He had the Ordinance that was prepared by his office following the meeting last
Wednesday. He felt the meeting ended with only one issue that was not resolved. This Ordinance
was prepared which was believed at the time to contain all the agreements of the parties except one
provision which the parties were still disputing which was whether the connector road would go all
the way through or stop at the edge of Parcel 62. Then Mr. Hochuli learned there were a number
of other issues brought up by the developer. Then at a meeting today the developer withdrew some of
those concerns and other concerns were discussed. At about 5:30 p.m. tonight another fax was
received from the developer with some changes.
Dave Atler: If it a question of language in the Ordinance he thinks the parties can still get there. Mr.
Hochuli sent the developer a letter last week that suggested if there is any language issues that they
perhaps get with that on an attorney -to -attorney basis. Clearly he has no problem with that but at
this point the issue on when the phasing happens still has to be decided.
Bobby Sutton, Jr.: Mr. Davis mentioned one option would be to approve the concept; how hard is
that to do with a Specific Plan Amendment.
Dan Hochuli: If the consideration is to proceed that way tonight, he feels the starting point would
be the ordinance that Mr. Hochuli made copies of which the Council hasn't seen. Council would
need to review this Ordinance and understand it. He thinks the problem with agreeing to it in
concept tonight is that he doesn't think that would accomplish anything. The Council cannot amend
the Specific Plan by a motion, it gets amended by an Ordinance. Approving something in conceptual
form does not give the developer what it desires which is a concrete amendment to the Specific Plan,
but perhaps it gives some more direction as to where staff should go on this issue. Mr. Hochuli feels
staff already has direction from the Council.
Mayor Honea: He asked Council to continue the item and direct staff to go back and work with the
applicants some more and see if they can bring Council an Ordinance that can be received prior to
the Council Meeting.
Ora Kern: Another option might be to take a recess and read what the Ordinance says.
Mayor House: Mayor Honea does not want to argue over issues from the dais; he feels it is
unprofessional and it is not the Council's position to do that.
Sharon Price: Has the developer seen the Ordinance that Mr. Hochuli has tonight.
Dan Hochuli: Yes they have. The ordinance that he is referring to was discussed with Mr. Griffin,
the developer's attorney on Thursday and was faxed to him on Friday. Mr. Griffin made amendments
to that and faxed it back to Mr. Hochuli's office on Monday afternoon.
Herb Rai: He concurs with Mayor Honea, he also feels staff needs to spend some more time
resolving some of these issues. It is very important to have it done the right way instead of rushing
through it.
Pat Griffin, Attorney for Southwest Value Partners: He thanked Town staff for working with him.
He stated that he received the first copy of any Ordinance on Friday at 11:00 a.m.; it was distributed
to his clients. He understood the direction from Town Council was to work this through and get

MARANA TOWN COUNCIL

somethin¢ resolved so that it didn't have to be nettotiated in front of the Council. It is down to one
issue which is the phasing of the connector road. To put it bluntly his client does not want to build
the leg of the connector road unless or until the development requires it. They will agree to build a
connector at such time as a certificate of occupancy is sought for the land upon which the connector
road would sit. They will assure that the connector road will be built at that time. They will dedicate
the right-of-way for the connector road all the way through to the Twin Peaks connection today. By
delaying this item again it would jeopardize the whole project and he doesn't feel that is necessary.
He would object to a continuance. SVP accepted the proposal that Mr. Hochuli has with the
modifications that are written in and underlined.
Dan Hochuli: Before the meeting Mr. Hochuli asked Mr. Griffin if Mr. Dolgen agreed with these
as Mr. Griffin gave them to Mr. Hochuli and he stated yes, with one change. He didn't even think
that this client had agreed to these until just now.
Pat Griffin: What Mr. Dolgen asks is if he can deposit the cash into an account given to the Town
for part of the road building costs if he felt the road should not have been built at that particular
time because there was no traffic out there. He has agreed to the sequencing and his idea was that if
he doesn't actually build it could he just give the Town the money to build it.
Dan Hochuli: The modifications that Mr, Griffin is speaking of were faxed to the Town Hall at 5:17
p.m. this afternoon, he tried to discuss them with staff this afternoon. He would suggest that with a
project of this magnitude and with long lasting repercussions, for Council to rush this project
through with staff not having adequate time to review the changes would not be beneficial. However
if Council would like they could attempt to respond to these issues now, but it is difficult to do that.
Up until right now Mr. Hochuli understood that the developer was not willing to pay for the last
section of the road.
Sherry Millner: Council is doing just what the Mayor stated he did not want to do.
Mayor Hones: He doesn't want to negotiate this issue, and he is not going to negotiate.
RECESS
Hurvie Davis: What staff has been concerned with is the phasing of this connector road from
the loop road all the way to the future Twin Peaks alignment coming across the Santa Cruz River
over to the Interstate. We have no traffic interchange now but the Town has been working with
ADOT to put a traffic interchange hopefully up for the Twin Peaks alignment, tie in Linda Vista from
the east and Camino de Manana for a full interchange serving both the east and west sides of the
Interstate. What staff has been talking to the developer about for the last week or so is rather than
require him to put all this roadway in all the way up to the northern most point of their property,
which is Parcel 61, how to phase that in. We talked about coming up to the clubhouse, or bringing it
up to the maintenance area. We really were not talking about bringing it all the way up to the
northern limits of Parcel 62A. What the developer is saying now is that prior to the issuance of any
certificate of occupancy within the residential section of Parcel 62, this is the residential section of
Parcel 62, the Cortaro Twin Peaks connector road, shall be constructed to Town standards in its
entirety from the loop road which is on the south end to the northern most portion of Parcel 62. It
would prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy for this residential portion. The
remaining section may be somewhat difficult to develop until Twin Peaks Road comes through
at some point. What staff has been working on the last few minutes, and he thinks an agreement
has been met, is prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy within Parcel 61 or the
construction of Twin Peaks Road, whichever is first, that they would provide financial assurances
that the roadway would be connected up to the northern most end of their property at Parcel 61. So
if any development comes in Parcel 61 they will have posted financial assurances in a form
satisfactory to the Town that the roadway would be constructed here.
Jerry Flannery: Item A, and he will just read it into the record in case those in the audience
haven't heard them: A Development Plan, Preliminary Plat, Final Plat and Landscaping Concept Plan
shall be submitted to and approved by the Marana Planning Commission and Town Council for each
development within the commercial industrial park interlinking all to an orderly and consistent
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA TOWN COUNCIL

design. This is a fairly standard comment when preliminary plats or development plans come in.
They have to meet the requirements of landscaping, dedications and the same. All of those have to
go through the Planning Commission and the Town Council per the Specific Plan, Item C, the loop
road, the Cortaro Twin Peaks connector road, shall be dedicated in phases through the Development
Plan and platting process. Item D, the Cortaro Twin Peaks connector road right-of-way shall be sixty
feet in width. Item E, prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy for the golf course
development, the Cortaro Twin Peaks connector road shall be constructed to Town standards from
the loop road to the northern most entry point of the golf course development. Item F, prior to the
issuance of any certificate of occupancy within the residential section of Parcel 62, the Cortaro Twin
Peaks connector road shall be constructed to Town standards in it's entirety from the loop road to
the northern most portion of Parcel 62. Item G, at the time the Development Plan or Subdivision
Process the owner/developer will dedicate the necessary right-of-way through Parcel 65. That entails
this area as the loop road intersects Cortaro, this extension of this loop road through and to the
industrial parkway will be continued through Parcel 65. Dedicate the necessary right-of-way through
Parcel 65 lying south of Cortaro Road and said alignment is to connect Business Park Drive with the
intersection of a loop road at Cortaro Road. And the owner/developer shall also construct the
required improvements to complete the roadway to Town standards prior to the issuance of any
certificate of occupancy in Parcel 65. Item H, any change of the proposed used from the area
identified as golf course as depicted on the concept plan will require the approval of the Planning
Commission and the Town Council. That is a requirement that would be in place anyway, if they
went to change that use in any event, they would have to go through the Planning Commission and
the Town Council, but we specifically called that out.
Dave Atler: Mr. Atler went over more of the information that was put together during the recess. The
connector road shall be constructed to Town standards in its entirety from the northern most
portion of Parcel 62 to the northern most portion of Parcel 61 upon the first to occur of the following.
#1 Twin Peaks Road is extended across the Santa Cruz River or #2 any development in Parcel 61 in
which the roadway will be completed prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy.
Mayor Hones: He has a problem with that. The bridge being built across the Santa Cruz is very
expensive; there is a possibility that that may not happen for quite some time. However, the Twin
Peaks alignment on the other side of the River, the side that this Parcel is on, could be done without
the bridge. The road was suppose to be built completely through the property.
Dan Hochuli: Mr. Hochuli wrote down some language that might address that concern and resolve
some of these issues. He would suggest that under condition #2 the first of the two alternatives,
which says now Twin Peaks Road is extended across the Santa Cruz River, which the Mayor
suggested, could be amended to read Twin Peaks Road is constructed north of Parcel 61. These are
two new conditions that would be added to the Ordinance. If Twin Peaks is constructed at this end
of the property then the connector road will continue through.
Bobby Sutton, Jr.: Once there is something to build it to they complete the road.
Mayor Hones: The present Twin Peaks alignment will bisect this piece of property
Hurvie Davis: The answer to that question is unknown at this time. It will not be known until some
geometric work is done. The new interchange with the Interstate is going to have to line up so that
the traffic is perpendicular to the Interstate itself. From there you curve off to tie in with Twin Peaks
Road across the River.
Sherry Millner: When she was elected to this office she told the Public she was for well planned and
controlled growth. In honoring what she said she cannot approve manufactured housing being
placed so close to Continental Ranch. She will approve the other portion however, and continue to
vote for the apartments and golf course, but she will vote no because of the manufactured housing.
A motion was made by Ora Barn, seconded by Bobby Sutton, Jr. and carried with Mayor Honea
and Sherry Millner voting Nay to approve the adoption of Ordinance No. 96.36 with the following
additional conditions, owner/developer shall post assurances in a form acceptable to the Town for
the construction and completion of the Cortaro Twin Peaks connector road from the loop road
through the northern most portion of Parcel 61. #2 the Cortaro Twin Peaks connector road shall be
constructed to Town standards in its entirety from the northern most portion of Parcel 62 to the
northern most portion of Parcel 61 upon the first to occur of the following. Twin Peaks Road is
constructed north of through Parcel 61; #2 any development on Parcel 61 (in which case the
roadway will be completed prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy).
6. Resolution No. 96-91; Continental Ranch Parcel 64 - Request for approval of a Preliminary
Subdivision of portions of Lots 10, 11 and 12 of Pepperttee Ranch Business Park located at
Hurvie Davis: This item is connected to the last issue on the Agenda
Jerry Flannery: This Preliminary Plat went before the Planning Commission in August, 1996. At
that time the Planning Commission was presented with the Plat with some changes. Those changes
have since been sent to Staff and reviewed. Staff has conditions outlined in the Resolution that we
have provided to the developer. As far as Staff is concerned this is what we are recommending.
Dave Atler: In the Resolution item #10 which reads Cortaro Road will need to be expanded to a four
lane facility within five years as stated in the TIA since this development is projected to increase
traffic on Cortaro Road by 8,210 trips within three years. Which appears to be a major contributor to
the need to expand the existing roadway. That is not a condition that we are requesting at this time,
that SVP contribute to any expansion on there. We may in the future and reserve that right. This is
simply to call attention to the Council the traffic concerns that are in the area.
A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Bobby Sutton, Jr. and carried unanimously to
approve Resolution No. 96-91, the Preliminary Plat for Continental Ranch Parcel 64 by Southwest
Value Partners IV LP, for a re -subdivision of Parcel 64, within the Peppertree Ranch Business Park
located in Section 26 and Section 27, Township 12 South, Range 12 East. Such approval shall be
conditional upon the resolution of all outstanding issues mentioned in the staff recommendation as
stated above.
I. Mayor and Council's Report.
Mayor Hones: Yesterday Mayor Honea and Mr. Davis went to visit with Channel 13 staff and the
new station manager. He believes that this year's Founders' Day is the best one the Town has had in
four or five years. Charlie and Israel did a fabulous job on the Park; he had several people comment
on what a fine job was done.
Sherry Millner: Council Member Millner thanked Sun West for the wonderful job they did at
providing the breakfast for the Founders' Day Celebration.
Ora Harn: She was invited to the University of Arizona to do a walk through; it was real interesting.
Mayor Hones: At the Founders' Day Breakfast, Woman of the Year and Man of the Year were
announced. They were Council Member Ora Harn and Town Manager Hurvie Davis.
J. Manager's Report
Hurvie Davis: Last week Mr. Davis, Mr. Atler and Mr. Despain met with Mr. Huckleberry and a
number of his staff members in regards to bank protection on the Santa Cruz River. We are trying to
keep this item moving forward. We started out with a discussion on assessments to benefiting
properties. The project is moving along and hopefully will be under construction by May of next year.
However, we are working on the easement agreements for the levee itself, hoping to get dedication of
the easements. That is not going as well as we would like it.
