Occurring every ten years, the Census seeks to determine the total number of residents living in a given area as well as important data about their lives. In short, the Census is the most complete data set regarding American life available to communities. The Census is also critical in determining eligibility for state and federal funding. Data gathered by the Census, determines the allocation of approximately $300 billion in funding to communities across the country, equal to approximately $3,000 per resident. These dollars are used by the Town of Marana to pay for essential programs such as transportation, social services, and education. The 2010 Census will be mailed to residents on March 1 of next year. Residents who do not respond will receive a second mailing in Apri12010. Residents who do not respond to the second mailing will receive a visit from a Census worker in May 2010 as a final attempt to include them in the overall total. Town staff have been preparing for the 2010 Census for well over a year and continue to participate in regional and local educational efforts. Staff seek adoption of this resolution to formalize the relationship between the Town and the Census Bureau and increase visibility of ongoing promotional efforts. Financial Impact: There is no anticipated impact to the Town budget to partner with the 2010 U.S. Census. However, obtaining an accurate count of residents is critical to Marana's state and federal funding eligibility in future years.

S. Census Bureau is required by the Constitution of the United States of America to conduct a count of the population and provides a historic opportunity for the Town of Marana to help shape the foundation of our society and play an active role in American democracy; and WHEREAS the Town of Marana is committed to ensuring every resident is counted; and WHEREAS more than $300 billion per year in federal and state funding is allocated to communities and decisions are made on matters of national and local importance based on census data, including healthcare, community development, housing, education, transportation, social services and employment; and WHEREAS census data determine how many seats each state will have in the House of Representatives as well as the redistricting of state legislatures, county and city councils, and voting districts; and WHEREAS the 2010 Census creates hundreds of thousands of jobs across the nation; and WHEREAS every Census Bureau worker takes a lifetime oath to protect confidentiality and ensure that data identifying respondents or their households not be released or shared for 72 years; and WHEREAS a united voice from businesses, government, community-based and faith- based organizations, educators, media and others will allow the 2010 Census message to reach a broader audience, providing trusted advocates who can spark positive conversations about the 2010 Census; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, AS FOLLOWS: 1. That the Town of Marana supports the goals and ideas for the 2010 Census and will disseminate 2010 Census information to encourage participation. 2. That the Town of Marana asks local municipalities and organizations to partner together to achieve an accurate and complete count. 3. That the Town of Marana encourages people in Marana to participate in events and initiatives that will raise overall awareness of the 2010 Census and increase participation among all populations.

CIVIC CENTER DRIVE, MARANA, ARIZONA 85653 COUNCIL CHAMBERS, November 17, 2009, 7:00:00 PM To: Mayor and Council Item C 3 From: Frank Cassidy ,Town Attorney Strategic Plan Focus Area: Community Building Subject: Relating to Public Works; approving the acquisition of right-of-way for three roadway crossings over the Cortaro-Marana Irrigation District canal adjacent to the Interstate 10 Frontage Road for the Tangerine Farms Road Improvement District Project, No. 2004- 36, and authorizing the Town Engineer to execute all documents and take all actions reasonably prudent to accomplish the acquisition Discussion: The Tangerine Farms Road Improvement District project crosses the main CMID canal in three locations -- at Tangerine Farms Road, Rillito Village Trail ("Street A"), and Crossroads Trail ("Street B "). The roadway and irrigation channel undergrounding improvements in these locations were completed pursuant to a right of entry. The Town took possession of this right-of- way on December 1, 2006. If approved, this item will approve the Town's purchase of the rights- of-way necessary for the three CMID crossings and will give the Town Engineer authority to complete the purchase, subject to CMID's reservation of easements in all three locations as necessary to continue operation and maintenance of their irrigation works. The rights-of-way necessary for the three CMID crossings total 10,286 square feet of land (6,269 square feet of land for Tangerine Farms Road, 2,017 square feet of land for Rillito Village Trail, and 2,000 square feet of land for Crossroads Trail). Town staff proposes to purchase the right-of- way for a total purchase price of $134,641.60, including principal in the amount of $115,923.22 and three years' interest at 5%, compounded monthly, in the amount of $18,718.38. The proposed deeds and compensation calculation sheets for each of the crossings are attached as backup materials for this agenda item. The compensation is based on a probable land value of $11.27 per square foot -- the amount paid by Westcor in January 2006 for the parcel at Tangerine and Interstate 10, located adjacent to the Crossroads Trail CMID crossing and about 450 feet and 3200 feet, respectively, from the Tangerine Farms and Rillito Village Trail CMID crossings. The date of valuation (December 1, 2006 -- the day the Town took possession) is less than a year after the Westcor sale and before the drastic real estate decline began. The interest rate of 5% is a negotiated rate. Arizona law requires payment of simple interest from the date of possession at the prime rate. The prime rate was 8.25% on December 1, 2006, steadily declined to 5% on April 30, 2008, and has further declined to the current prime rate of 3.25%. If Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 15 of 126 the Town paid simple interest at the prime rate, the calculation of interest would have been much more complicated than a negotiated rate of 5°Io compounded monthly, and would have resulted in a slightly higher total interest payment. This item is proposed to be accomplished by a simple exchange of deeds for payment, instead of by formal acquisition agreement. For this reason, staff proposes that the approval of this item be by motion rather than by formal resolution. Financial Impact: If approved, this item will require the payment of $134,641.60 to CMID. In addition, Town staff anticipates the cost of title fees will not exceed $650. This acquisition is for the Tangerine Farms Road Improvement District, but the Town does not have sufficient funds from improvement district bond proceeds to cover this cost. If approved, this item will be funded from the Transportation Fund.

P 4: Presentation: Relating to Utilities; presentation regarding the evolution and the future of the Town of Marana Utilities Board and Utilities Commission Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 29 of 126 Frank Cassidy presented this item. He stated that the Citizen's Commission has made recommendations on matters relating to the Utilities Department but that the Utilities Board has never really operated as intended. An outside counsel was hired to evaluate the importance of the Utilities Board. and the town learned that a utilities board is required if hydropower will be resold, but if the town will only be an end user, then a utilities board is not required. As a result, the town's expectation is to take the hydropower and use it for its own purposes, not to resell. For this reason, Mr. Cassidy asked for consideration of eliminating the Utilities Board and keeping the current citizen's commission as it is in the best interest of the town at this time. Vice Mayor Kai asked whether the school was intending to acquire ~cnne cif the hydropower from the Town of Marana and if that was the case, would the town need to have a utility board. Mr. Cassidy stated that under our contract it specifically states that the town cannot resell power without consent of the Western Area Power Authority and that he is not aware of any discussions along those lines. Council Member Ziegler stated that at the October Utility Commission meeting there were some members missing and asked staff to tell the comet i scion about the proposed removal of the board prior to removing it. Gilbert Davidson stated thaLtime would be spent with each of the commissioners so that they could be made fully aware of the Council's intent. Council Member Ziegler stated that she did not want staff to spend time with indi~~idual members of the commission she simply wanted the information to be relayed t~~ them at their next commission meeting. Ms. O'Brien noted that she would discuss this item ~~t the e~.~nuiiission's next meeting. ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES PROCLAMATIONS National Communih~ Planning Month MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

Ms. Shafer noted that she had brought this item before Council as an information item previously. She asked for questions. Acting Mayor McGorray opened the public hearing. Ms. Shafer noted that this portion of the hearing is the public Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 34 of 126 process where notices go to the neighbors and signs are posted. If Council is supportive of the annexation, no action is needed on behalf of the Council. After this meeting, the residents would provide annexation signed petitions and 207 waivers for recordation, and an action ordinance would then be presented to Council for approval. Acting Mayor McGorray noted that no action is required. Mr. Cassidy noted that although no action is required, it is a public hearing, and members of the public should have the opportunity to speak. Council Member Post asked Mr. Cassidy what the additional steps are after petitions are signed. Is there another public hearing? Mr. Cassidy responded that there will be no further public hearing. It will be brought back for an action item to adopt the annexation ordinance once sufficient signatures are obtained and if the Council wants to hear from anybody at that time, the Council at its discretion can open it up for discussion, but a public hearing is not required. ` A 2: PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2009.20: Relatin~~ t~> De~~clc~hlnent; approving a rezoning for Marana Mercantile, on approximately 39.09 acres located ti~ cat ~~f the I-10 Frontage Road and north of Marana Road Kevin Kish presented this item to Council and noted that this is a request to rezo~c property on the northwest corner of Marana Road and I-10. It is schcdu led tier Village Commercial land use zoning. The surrounding zoning has Uptown to the west and V i I lages of Tortolita across the freeway to the north, San Lucas across the freeway to the east and then south is the Azone - small lot- which hasn't come in yet. He then showed the approved traffic circulation from 2007. He noted that part of the reason for the continuance. was discussion of the improvements, including fair share. The tentative development plan provides liar a major anchor retail, but the total for the center comprises 283,351 sq. feet of retain circa. The property is designated by the General Plan as Town Center Planning Area. This change in zo~iing for the VC would be in conformance with the Getfei-al Plan. The area is also in the single central business district as designated by the town council last ~-car. The design standards are commercial which are enforceable on the site. There are a I so supplemental guidelines within the appendix of the site analysis. The guidelines meet and exceed the design requirements established by the Land Development Code. 1\'lr. Kish asked for approval subject to the conditions that are presented in the staff report. Ede noted there ~~~as also a public hearing before the Planning Commission in October ?Ull~. Approval v~~as recommended. He asked for questions. Council Member Comerford asl~ed if staff was okay with the conditions and recommendations. Mr. Kish responded ~ ~ es.' The details hay c; been ironed out and the parties are ready to proceed. Mr. Cassidy addressed Council and noted that the development agreement and the rezoning need to be dealt with. together because the conditions of rezoning were shortened in reliance on the development agreement. He asked for one motion for the rezoning ordinance and the resolution approving the development agreement. Mr. Cassidy noted that the public hearing also needs to be opened on the rezoning, but it makes sense to hear all of the items together. He also noted that there have been no additional changes since his last report. He offered a quick rundown of the changes from the July 14 version of the development agreement. Acting Mayor McGorray asked for questions. There being none, the matters proceeded to a vote. Ms. Thalasitis again recommended opening the items for public hearing and then proceed to the vote. There being no speakers, Council Member Clanagan made a motion to close the public hearing, second by Council Member Post. Acting Mayor McGorray asked for a motion.

CIVIC CENTER DRIVE, MARANA, ARIZONA 85653 COUNCIL CHAMBERS, November 17, 2009, 7:00:00 PM To: Mayor and Council Item A 1 From: Kevin Kish ,Development Services General Manager Strategic Plan Focus Area: Community Building Subject: PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2009.23: Relating to Development; rezoning of approximately 58.4 acres of land located east of Wade Road and approximately one- quarter (1/4) mile north of Ina Road from `R-144' (single-family residential - minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet) to `R-36' (single-family residential - minimum lot size of 36,000 square feet) Discussion: Rezoning Request The Planning Center, representing Charles D. Cardinal, Penny L. Cardinal, and James E. Duncan, is requesting approval for a rezoning of approximately 58.4 acres of land located east of Wade Road and approximately 1/a mile north of Ina Road within a portion of the southwest quarter of Section 34, Township 12 South, and Range 12 East. The rezoning area is comprised of seven parcels under the ownership of Charles D. Cardinal and Penny L. Cardinal, on their own behalf and as trustees of the Cardinal Revocable Living Trust, and James E. Duncan. The current zoning of the site is `R-144' (single family residential - minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet). The applicant is proposing to rezone the entire 58.4 acres to `R-36' (single family residential -minimum lot size of 36,000 square feet) for the purpose of developing asingle-family residential custom home subdivision. Should the rezoning request be approved, the applicant will subsequently process a preliminary and final plat, landscape plan, and associated improvement plans through the Town for the proposed development. Marana General Plan The future land use plan within the Town of Marana General Plan designates the subject property as Low-Density Residential (LDR) with a density range of 0.51-3.0 dwelling units per acre. This designation is characterized by single-family detached homes on relatively large lots, as well as commercial development and other community uses that serve the residential development. The Tentative Development Plan for this project proposes a gross density of 0.67 residences per acre, which is at the lower end of the allowable density range. Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the adopted General Plan. Land Use The proposed project includes the development of 39 single-family residential lots ranging in size Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 38 of 126 from just over 36,000 square feet to approximately 101,000 square feet. The overall site disturbance shall be limited to forty-five (45) percent of the gross site area after the required dedication for Wade Road. Staff has determined this amount to be acceptable considering the amount of existing disturbance associated with the homesites currently within the rezoning area as well as that area associated with the El Paso Natural Gas Easement that traverses the west half of the property. Four of the seven parcels subject to the proposed rezoning contain existing homesites and/or accessory structures. Three of the existing homesites will remain and will be incorporated into the proposed development, and the remaining structures will be removed from the site. The maximum height of new structures constructed within the rezoning area will be limited to twenty-one (21) feet. The proposed density of 0.67 residences per acre is compatible with the adjacent subdivision to the north, Sombrero Peak Estates_(1.0 residences per acre), as well as the subdivision to the northeast, Continental Ranch Parce151 (1.64 residences per acre). Disturbance envelopes for lots within previously undisturbed areas are proposed to be limited to 18,000 square feet. The remaining privately owned lot area will be designated on the subdivision plats, as well as grading plans, as Natural Undisturbed Open Space (NUOS) and shall remain as such in perpetuity. The common areas, including the natural washes are also proposed to be designated as Natural Undisturbed Open Space. It should be noted that the Sombrero Peak Estates and Continental Ranch Parce151 subdivisions are not subject to disturbance limits. Existing land use and zoning to the west of the rezoning area, across Wade Road, consists of the Mira Vista Resort, zoned `RR' Resort and Recreation, as well as four single-family residential parcels zoned `R-144'. The residential parcels to the south and east of the rezoning area, located within unincorporated Pima County, average approximately three acres in size and are designated as Pima County 'SR' Suburban Ranch zoning. Access and Circulation The projected average daily trip count for this development at build out, based upon rates provided in the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual, is 373 trips. It is anticipated that approximately 30 of these trips will occur during the weekday morning peak hour, and 40 will occur during the weekday evening peak hour. The land use proposal within the Site Analysis document proposes primary access, as well as emergency access, from Wade Road. The existing easement providing ingress/egress from Cortaro Farms Road will be abandoned within the proposed development area during the platting process. Local streets within the development will be public and will utilize the Town's typical residential cross-section including 32 feet of pavement, 2-foot curbs, and 5-foot sidewalks within a 46-foot right-of-way. The existing right-of-way for Wade Road adjacent to this project is 60 feet. The ultimate future right-of-way is anticipated not to exceed 90 feet, as exists north of the project area. The developer will dedicate approximately 15 feet on the east side of Wade road to provide the ultimate half-street right-of-way width of 45 feet. Although the rezoning site analysis has preliminarily addressed the access and circulation issues associated with this project in accordance with the assessment and recommendations of the traffic report, both off-site and on-site circulation will be evaluated thoroughly during the review of the preliminary plat. Infrastructure The rezoning area is proposed to be served by the public sewer system, and is currently tributary to the Ina Road Water Reclamation Facility. This development will tie into an existing 8-inch sewer line located in the Continental Ranch Parce151 subdivision northeast of the rezoning area. The rezoning area will be served by Marana Municipal Water, and is located within the service areas of Tucson Electric Power and Southwest Gas. Northwest Fire District has confirmed that the area is within the District's service boundaries. Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 39 of 126 Environmental The rezonin;; area is traversed by several jurisdictional washes that will be subject to re;;ulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. These will be evaluated further during the review of the preliminary subdivision plat. Although the rezoning area does not fall within a defined Conservation Zone in the draft Marana Habitat Conservation Plan, and the natural washes that traverse the site are not defined by the Plan as significant wildlife linka,Qes, the applicant has agreed with staff that the 404 jurisdictional washes should be protected and preserved to function as linkages to corridors provided in adjacent developments. The tentative development plan depicts a lot layout that is designed to be sensitive toward the natural washes, and the allowable disturbance envelopes have been located accordin;;ly. The rezoning area was not designated as py;;my owl habitat when the owl was listed; however, it does contain foraging resources for the lesser long-nosed bat. If the project impacts a wash that is considered to be jurisdictional by the Corps of Engineers, the Corps will consult with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service on the bat. The proposed land use will not have any negative impact upon, nor be impacted by, the 100 year floodplain. Street crossings are proposed only at washes that have a 100-year discharge of less than 50 cfs. Staff will perform a complete engineering evaluation of the drainage conditions at such time that a Drainage Report is submitted during the review of the preliminary plat. Citizen Participation The Planning Center and property owner (Bud Cardinal) conducted a neighborhood meeting at the Wade Road Fire Station on June 11, 2009 to inform the neighboring property owners and other interested parties of the rezoning proposal and address questions and concerns.The applicant notified property owners within a 600 foot radius of the proposed project site. Those in attendance initiated discussion on the following: 1.) neighborhood desire to preserve the rural character of the area; 2.) proposed disturbance and protection of natural drainage channels and vegetation; 3.) future development's impact to property values; 4.) proposed density and lot size of future development; 5.) off-site impacts, particularly drainage, resulting from future development; 6.) proposed building heights and blocking of viewsheds of the surrounding mountain ranges; and, 7.) impacts to local traffic circulation. Most questions and concerns were addressed by the applicant. The Planning Center offered to respond in writing to questions that could not be answered at the meeting. A number of a-mail exchanges have taken place between the neighboring property owners and the applicant to answer pending questions and concerns. A copy of this correspondence has been included as an attachment to this report. Additionally, Mr. Cardinal met with some of the property owners from Sombrero Peak Estates on August 10, 2009 to follow up discussion of previous concerns. Waiver of Potential Arizona Property Rights Protection Act Compensation Claims To protect the Town against potential claims filed under the Arizona Property Rights Protection Act as a result of changes in the land use laws that apply to the rezoning area by the Town's adoption of this ordinance, staff requires that the applicant waive any rights to compensation for diminution in value by execution and recordation of the attached waiver instrument. The Consent to Conditions as a result of changes in the land use laws that apply to the rezoning area resulting from the approval of this zoning. If the applicant does not forward the waiver in time to record it within 90 days after the ordinance is passed, the ordinance becomes null and void, as if no action were taken to pass the ordinance.

Existing Land Uses 1. Site Location in Regional Context The project rezoning site is located on 58.4 acres of primarily undeveloped land east of Wade Road and north of Ina Road in the Town of Marana. It is currently zoned R-144 (Residential Zone). The rezoning site is comprised of seven parcels located in Township 12 South, Range 12 East, Section 34 and identified as assessor parcels 221-32-011 A, 221-32-011 B, 221-32-018A, 221-32-0186, 221- 32-0126, 221-32-012C, and 221-32-012D. (See Exhibit I.A.1.a: Location and Exhibit I.A.1.b: Regional Context) 2. Existing Land Uses Currently, there are five one- and two-story houses existing on the site which will be incorporated into the development. The remainder of the site is vacant.

Number of stories of existing structures Project Site Single-Family Residential (1-2 Stories) North Single-Family Residential (1 Story) South Single-Family Residential (1 Story) East Single-Family Residential (1-2 Stories) West Single-Family Residential (1-2 Stories) The buildings within the one-quarter-mile radius of the project site are predominately single-family residential one-story structures. a. Pending Rezonings, Conditional Rezonings, and Subdivision/Development Plans Approved There is a conditional rezoning that has been approved within one-quarter mile of the site (Sombrero Vistas Estates). Additionally, located to the west of the site, a development plan for the Mira Vista Resort and Timeshare is under review. Continental Ranch is a master planned community tangential to this project; however, it does not relate to this rezoning as there is no interconnection between the two parcels. The residents of this project (Wade Road) will use services provided by Continental Ranch such as shopping, schools, restaurants, and recreation on a daily basis. b. Architectural Styles Used in Adjacent Projects The vast majority of structures adjacent to the site are southwestern and mission architectural style and a few ranch style. Continental Ranch is built out and has little effect, if any, on this project. Sombrero Vistas, likewise, will have little effect on the project because they are not interconnected. Location of Wells within 100 Feet According to the Pima County Department of Transportation (DOT) Geographic Information Services, 2006, and the Arizona Department of Water Resources there are two well sites located on the subject property (see Exhibit I.A.4: Well Locations). The first well site has been re-drilled and is utilized (and will continue to be utilized) by an existing home. It is located on the southwest side of the site and is registered to Charles and Penny Cardinal (Registry ID #s 565841, 569606, 572459). The second well site is also a re-drilled well site, located on the southeast side of the site and is registered to W. S. Nichols (Registry ID # 601229) and N.M. Meech (Registry ID # 638881). This well is currently utilized for the existing citrus grove orchard. It is unknown as to whether this orchard will remain on the site upon development; therefore, abandonment of the well will be determined upon development of the subject site. ~~ Inventory and Analysis 7 Wade Road Rezoning ses Legend Site Boundary Quarter Mile Boundary ® Existing Subdivisions Development Plan Jurisdiction Boundary NoarH THE _T I CE TER G o' 400' soo~ Locetion.

Hydrology This portion of the Site Analysis includes discussion on pre-development on-site and off- 1 site hydrologic characteristics. 1. Off-site Watersheds The subject property is located within the foothills of the Tucson Mountains. There are several small washes that cross the property in a south to north direction. The area of the watersheds draining to these washes varies from 0.9 to ' 24.6 acres. The project lies within a balanced drainage basin as designated by the Pima County Regional Flood Control District (RECD). Existing land development densities within the contributing watersheds is low density and all of the washes can be characterized as natural. The study utilized USGS topographic quadrangle maps and aerial mapping data obtained from the Pima Association of Governments (PAG) to delineate the watershed boundaries. Exhibit I.C.1: Off-site Watersheds, shows the perimeter of all off-site watersheds ' that affect, or are affected by the subject property, both upstream and downstream to their logical conclusion. Upstream, the watershed boundaries were delineated to their topographic limits and downstream they were delineated 1 to the north or east property line. 2. Off-site Features that may affect or be affected by the Site ' The there are no significant man-made features within the project environment that affect drainage conditions. All of the washes are natural except where they have been modified at street or driveway crossings. 3. Acreage of Upstream Off-Site Watersheds Approximate areas of upstream off-site watersheds are given in Table 1. The locations of the concentration points for these watersheds are shown on Exhibit I.C.1. 4. On-Site Hydrology a. Regulatory 100-year floodplains ' Regulatory floodplains on the property are limited to the washes draining to concentration points A5 and B2, and between A6 and downstream of 1 the confluence of B5/B6. These are the only locations where the 100-year discharge exceeds 50 cfs. The floodplain limits and erosion setbacks for the washes having a 100-year discharge greater than 50 cfs are shown on Exhibit I.C.2: On-Site Hydrology. These erosion setbacks were delineated based on Town of Marana requirements given in Title 21. 1 ~'t.~ Inventory and Analysis 12 Wade Road Rezoning I b. Areas of Sheet Floodin with Avera a De the 9 9 p The only area of the property subject to sheet flooding during a 100-year flood is in the vicinity of CP-A5 at the northeast corner of the site. The depths of flooding range from 0.5 to 1.0 foot in this sheet flow area. c. Federally Mapped Floodways and Floodplains There are no federally mapped FEMA floodplains on this property (Panel ' 04019C1605K, effective date February 8, 1999). d. 100-Year Peak Discharges The peak discharge rates for the primary watersheds impacting the property are listed in Table 1.

Vegetation Communities According to the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan (SDCP), and as shown in, there are three Special Elements that affect the subject property. The majority of the site is classified as Palo-Verde-Mixed Cacti as well Ironwood. A small portion is classified as Sonoran Riparian Scrub and is also identified as Important Riparian Habitat. The vegetation on the site consists of foothills palo verde, blue palo verde, triangle leaf bursage, creosote bush, velvet mesquite, prickly pear cactus, ocotillo, cholla, barrel cactus and saguaro cactus. Fora detailed description and location map of all unique and significant vegetation on site, please see Exhibit 1.D.1: Site Resource Inventory.. 2. Significant Cacti, Trees, and Concerned Species A Significant Resource Inventory has been conducted on the site. Saguaro cacti (Carnegiea gigantea) ranging in size from 1 to 35 feet and foothills palo verde ' trees (Cercidium microphylum) were found. Ironwood trees (Olneya tesota) and velvet mesquite trees (Prosopis velutina) were not found. According to the Arizona Game and Fish Department's Heritage Data Management System (HDMS), there are four Special Status Species known to occur within a 3-mile radius of the project site. These include Pima Indian mallow (Abutilon parishii), Tucson Mountain Spiderling (Boerhavia megapteria), sparseleaf hermannia (Hermannia pauciflora), and stag-horn cholla (Opuntia versicolor). (See Exhibit 1.E.1: Letter from Arizona Game and Fish Department) 3. Vegetation Densities The density figures are based upon the ratio of canopy cover to bare ground. The site is comprised primarily of low-density vegetation with some high-density vegetation and very little medium-density vegetation. Aerial photographs examination and site visit verification were used to determine the variation of vegetative densities throughout the site. The vegetative densities in terms of approximate percentages are categorized as follows: High Density Medium Density Low Density 76% - 100% 31 % - 75% 0% - 30% (See Exhibit 1.D.2: Vegetation Densities) ~~ Inventory and Analysis 16 t 1 t 1 1 1 1 1 1 Wade Road Rezoning Exhibit I.D.1: Site Resource Inventory Inventory and Analysis 17 t Wade Road Rezoning Exhibit I.D.2: Vegetation Densities 18 t t Wade Road Rezoning E.

Viewsheds Onto and Across the Site North: Southern properties adjacent to the site have distant views of the Tortolita Mountains to the north, Pusch Ridge to the northeast, and Rattelsnake Pass to the northwest. The few existing single-family residences will not have their vistas impacted due to the topography. Their views onto the site will be affected, but will be mitigated by vegetation. East: The few existing residences on the western side of the site will not have their vistas impacted due to their location and/or the topography of the site. However, views onto the site will be affected. West: Eastern properties adjacent to the site have vistas of the Tucson Mountains to the west, in particular, Safford Peak. Vistas may be minimally impacted due to the topography. However, views onto the site will be affected, but will be mitigated by vegetation. South: Some of the northern properties adjacent to the site have distant views to the south of the Tucson Mountains, in particular, Wasson Peak. Vistas may be minimally impacted due to the topography of the site. However, some of the views onto the site will be impacted; other views will be mitigated by vegetation. 2. Areas of High Visibility The project site has areas of high, medium, and low visibility as defined in the table below. The topographic characteristics of this site allow for varying degrees of visibility. The areas of high visibility occur along Wade Road on the west side of the site and have low-density vegetation. The areas of moderate visibility occur throughout most of the site and primarily have low-density vegetation; however, there is a small area of medium-density vegetation in the northeast sector of the site.

Land Use Proposal r Wade Road Rezoning A. Project Overview The request is to rezone 58.4 acres of land on Wade Road in the Town Of Marana from R-144 to R-36. The site is currently made up of a mixture of vacant land, a citrus grove, and five single family residences, all of which will be incorporated into the new development. The proposed residential development will consist of 39 single-family custom and semi-custom home sites ranging from approximately 36,000 square feet to nearly 100,000 square feet. There being only a single access point for the project, residential fire sprinkler systems will be required by the Northwest Fire Department. B. Relationship to Town of Marana General Plan The project site falls under the Low Density Residential land use designation as can be seen in Exhibit II. B: General Plan Designations. According to the Marana General Plan 2007, developments in .this designation are intended to retain an open, semi-rural character. Additionally, the Low Density Residential land use designation specifies that developments in this category are characterized by single-family detached homes on relatively large lots in a density range of 0.51 to 3.0 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density of this development will be 0.67 dwelling units per acre, which falls within the requirement.

Tentative Development Plan After a thorough investigation of topography, hydrology, traffic flow, and cultural and ' natural resources, as detailed in the site analysis portion of this report, it has been concluded that the project will not be constrained by these elements. A tentative development plan which has been designed to compliment the scale and character of I surrounding land uses can be seen in Exhibit II.C: Tentative Development Plan. Based on the Tentative Development Plan, the proposed area of disturbance is approximately 40.4% of the site. Presently, approximately 16% of the site is disturbed due to development already in place. The total site disturbance (existing and proposed) will not exceed forty-five (45) percent at the time of platting. With the exception of lots 1, 6 and 25, which have already been graded more than 18,000 square feet, and lots 10, 14, 19, 27, 32 and 36 proposed for slightly less than 18,000 square feet, all lots will be limited to a maximum disturbance of 18,000 square feet (see Exhibit II.C: Tentative Development Plan). The project will be phased, with the first phase of the development on the Wade Road end of the property. Areas held in common by the Homeowners Association or a 3rd party shall be designated as Natural Undisturbed Open Space. Privately owned lot area that is located outside of approved disturbance envelopes shall be designated as Natural Undisturbed ' Open Space and will be indicated as such on plats and grading plans. Areas designated as Natural Undisturbed Open Space will remain undisturbed in perpetuity. . D. Existing Land Uses 1. Zoning Boundaries and Existing Land Uses The site consists of 58.4 acres which are currently divided up into 7 parcels, all of which are zoned R-144. Three of these parcels are presently vacant. As indicated in Exhibit II.D: Zoning Boundaries, this project proposes that the entire site be rezoned to R-36 in order to accommodate the anticipated development. 2. Impacts to Existing Land Uses ' There are currently four residences and five out buildings, including one large barn, on site. All of these buildings will be placed on lots and included in the development plan. The surrounding development consists of predominantly single-family residential construction with densities ranging from .61 to 1.23 dwelling units per acre. ' Architectural styles and scale will be designed to blend with the existing development to create a cohesive neighborhood.

Topography 1. TDP Responses to Topographic Characteristics The site has been previously disturbed with the development of single family residential homes and associated utilities and driveways. The existing disturbance of the site is 9.1 acres. The proposed disturbance is 23.6 acres, which includes building envelopes and right-of-way and the existing disturbance. Individual lots will be custom graded within the building envelope. With the exception of lots 1, 6 and 25, which have already been graded more than 18,000 square feet, and lots 10, 14, 19, 27, 32 and 36 proposed for slightly less than 18,000 square feet, all lots will be limited to a maximum disturbance of 18,000 square feet. See Exhibit II.C: Tentative Development Plan and tables below for disturbance percentages and calculations.

Encroachment onto 15% Slopes Areas that contain 15% or greater slopes are confined to the washes that run through the site and will be left undisturbed. ~ ~ Land Use Proposal 41 ii 1 I Wade Road Rezoning F. Hydrology This portion of the Site Analysis includes discussion on post-development on-site and off-site hydrologic characteristics. 1. TDP Response to Hydrologic Conditions The tentative development plan responds to the hydrologic conditions by avoiding 100-year floodplain areas except for street crossings. None of the proposed building envelops are located within a floodplain area and there will be minimal encroachment into erosion hazard areas. The TDP also avoids most of the non-regulatory washes having 100-year discharges less than 50 cfs. As such, the proposed development will not have any affect on the overall drainage patterns. 2. Floodplain Encroachments The project construction (that is residential building pads and streets) will not encroach into 100 year floodplain areas. Street crossings only occur at washes having a 100-year discharge less than 50 cfs. The need for mitigation measures will be limited to riprap aprons downstream of culverts and dip sections. A limited amount of building pad stabilization will also be provided where pads encroach into erosion setback areas and floodplains.

Post-Development Discharges The post-development discharges are .summarized in Table 7 and the location of the concentration points are shown on Exhibit II.F. Post-development discharges at the downstream property boundary will increase by 1 to 15 cfs due to the additional impervious cover associated with residential structures and streets. 4. Upstream and Downstream Impacts It is expected that this project will not have any impacts to upstream or downstream properties. The increases in discharge rates at the downstream project boundary are not significant enough to change downstream drainage patterns, velocities and flow depths. Nor are the extents of the floodplain encroachments significant enough to change flow velocities and flow depths. These preliminary findings will be confirmed with completion and Town acceptance of the final drainage report. 5. Drainage Design Features The drainage design features needed to mitigate drainage and erosion problems are limited to riprap aprons on the downstream side of street crossings. Potential damages to the building pads will be mitigated by providing riprap slope ' protection where pads encroach into erosion hazard areas. All building pads will be elevated one foot or more above 100-year flood elevations. On-site detention will not be provided since that would require significant alteration of the natural ' drainage patterns. Instead, the applicant will file a detention waiver request with the Town of Marana and will pay an in-lieu fee. ' 6. Conformance to Current Policies and Area Plans The drainage design plan for this project conforms to all applicable area plans, basin management plans and policies. The washes crossing this property have been avoided to the maximum possible extent including an avoidance of floodplain encroachments and street crossings of regulatory floodplains. An in- lieu fee will be paid to Town of Marana for waiver of detention requirements within a balanced basin. ' 7. Jurisdictional Waters Westland Resources has prepared a Jurisdictional Waters Evaluation for the site dated April 3, 2008 and has been included as Appendix B: Jurisdictional Waters ' Evaluation. Approved Jurisdictional Waters are shown in red on the TDP and blue indicates those proposed as Jurisdictional. The TDP has been designed in an effort to protect those drainages approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; likewise those proposed as Jurisdictional have also been protected. Any permit(s) necessary for grading in areas of jurisdictional waters will most likely be through the nationwide permit process.

TDP Responses to Existing Vegetative Characteristics The site contains some areas that have been previously graded due to construction of existing development. Native vegetation on the site will remain intact except for areas used for roadways and building pads. Additionally, areas of high density vegetation that lie within Xeroriparian habitat will be preserved in their natural state. 2. TDP Responses to Land Development Code There is plant material on site which can be transplanted. Areas of the site which will be left in their natural state will be augmented with transplanted material and new nursery stock. At the time of preliminary plat, an NPPO will be completed in compliance with the Town of Marana Development Code ' H. Wildlife ' Westland Resources, Inc. has conducted a biological evaluation on the project site to determine the potential occurrence and adverse impact of the proposed development on species that are listed as endangered, threatened, proposed for listing, candidates for ' listing, or covered by conservation agreement by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under the endangered Species Act. The full report can be seen in Appendix B: Biological Evaluation. ' 1. Results of Biological Evaluation i. A screening was conducted to determine the potential occurrence of 21 species of special-interest in Pima County. Based on the location of the site within Pima County, the screening concluded that only one such species, the lesser long- nosed bat (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae [= L. curasoae yerbabueanae]; LLNB), had the potential to occur on the property. Upon further analysis of the site, it was concluded that lack of available foraging resources (saguaros), the distance of the site from known roosts, and the available of other foraging resources throughout the County, the development will not adversely impact the LLNB. Buffers Several landscape and open area buffers are being proposed for this development as shown on Exhibit 11. C: Tentative Development Plan. 1. Buffer Areas and Mitigation Measures A 10-foot landscape bufferyard is proposed along Wade Road. A 10-foot bufferyard is proposed around the remainder of the site. All bufferyards will be vegetated according to The Town of Marana's Land Development Code, Title 17. Plants removed due to the grading of other areas in the project site will be used wherever possible to fulfill landscape buffer requirements. Land Use Proposal 45 ' Wade Road Rezonin J ' J. Viewsheds 1. TDP Impact Mitigations a. Views and Vistas from Off-site ' The orientation of homes on each lot will take into account views from off- site in order to mitigate any potential negative impact caused by their ' construction. b. Areas of High Visibility ' Areas of high visibility lie mostly along Wade Road. To mitigate the impact of the proposed development, a 10-foot buffer yard will be constructed. There will not be any structures within the Wade Road ' bufferyard. Enhanced landscaping will be employed for privacy of rear yards in the area. K. Traffic 1. Traffic Analysis Report a. Pro osed internal circulation and access p The site will have one access point near the southwest corner of the property along Wade Road which will align with the driveway serving Mira Vista Resort. The current ingress/egress easement that provides access from Cortaro Road will be abandoned for the portion within the project site and exchanged by plat. The neighborhood streets will have 32 feet of paving and have a 25-miles-per-hour posted speed limit. There will be an emergency vehicle access easement along Wade Road just north of Sombrero Vista Trail. b. Future Off-site Improvements A 15-foot public right-of-way dedication is proposed along Wade Road. The dedication shall take place during the final plat. The current ' approved (2008-2012) Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) includes one improvement within the 1-mile radius area. This is the Silverbell Road widening from Brad Street on the north to Ina Road on the south. The ' road will be widened to four lanes with a central turn lane and will include curbs, sidewalks, and bike lanes. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2008 and be completed by the end of 2009. c. Projected ADT ' The projected average daily trip count generated by this development was arrived at using a rate of 9.57 trips per dwelling unit which was published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation, ~h ' Edifion for land use category 210 -Single Family Detached. ' Land Use Proposal 46 1 Wade Road Rezoning ' 39 homes x 9.57 trips per dwelling unit = 373 trips, 33 of which will occur during the weekday morning peak hour and 46 of them will occur during ' the evening peak hour. d. Improvements Required for Paragraph 3 ' A 15-foot public right-of-way dedication is proposed along Wade Road. The dedication shall take place during the final plat. e. Responsible party/agency The neighborhood's streets will be public, therefore they will by owned, ' maintained, and improved by the Town of Marana. 2. Proposed Bicycle and Pedestrian Ways ' Streets within a subdivision are assumed to be used by pedestrian and bicycle travel. The streets will be designed in accordance with Marana Town Standards. ' L. Public Utilities 1. Provisions for Sewer, Water, Gas and Electric Service The site has been previously developed and is currently being served by the majority of necessary utilities.

Potential Impact to Police, Fire and Sanitary Pick-up Services The project site and the land surrounding it all contain existing residences that are served by police, fire, and sanitary pick up services, therefore, no negative impacts on these services is predicted. 2. a. Police According to projections, this development will require less than one additional police officer upon build out. b. Fire Service This site will be serviced by the Northwest Fire/Rescue District. The nearest Fire Station is at 8165 North Wade Road, approximately 1 mile away from the projected site. c. Sanitary Pick-Up Service will be provided by a private contractor. Impact on Schools and Parks a. Schools All schools that will serve this development are currently under capacity; therefore, the additional student population added due to this development will not create any adverse effect on the schools they will attend. The predicted effect of the development on the capacity of the schools that will serve the area is detailed in Table 8: Enrollment. Information provided by the Marana school district.

Recreation and Trails ' 1. Provided Recreation Areas Open space will be provided within the development, but no formal recreation area will be provided. 2. Open Space Ownership The open space will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association. 3. Access to Off-Site Trails The Gas Pipeline trail bisects the site as do a number of natural watercourses, all of which connect to off-site trails. ' O. Cultural/Archaeological/Historic Resources 1. Resources Protection A Class III Cultural Resource survey has been conducted and no new sites were recorded, however, there are two previously recorded occurrences on site. These ' two sites, AZ AA:12:875(ASM) and AZ AA:12:928(ASM), are in-use natural gas pipelines which will be avoided and will not be impacted by the .proposed development. ' 2. Development Incorporation of Resources Pursuant to its investigation, Westland. Resources, Inc. recommends ' archaeological clearance for the portions of the project that lie outside the rights- of-way of the two pipelines. 3. Measures for Archaeological Resources Should archaeological materials be uncovered during construction, all activity shall halt until a qualified archaeologist has been contacted and the significance of such materials determined. n 1 Land Use Proposal 55 Wade Road Rezoning Bibliography Aerial Photographs, Pima Association of Governments, 2005.

Follow-on Question: Will you please provide a definitive and verifiable answer regarding the actual depth of the existing property on the North West corner o#'the development? Has the developer recently deeded oi' does he plan to convey an additional approximately 100' X 300' to the current owner of Parce1221-32-0100 to increase the lot depth to 626.24'? This is a critical issue to the Sombrero Peak Estates property owners directly affected by this measurement. Response: No the developer does not intend to convey property to the current owner of the property in question. Without pulling a Title Report for the property, the public record search does not give a detailed description of the property, {County Recorder's search) as to its total lengtla. !fit this point we have the best information available. ~ survey of the Wade Road property at the time of platting will verify the length of property in question.

Follow-on Question: Will you please specify if the "increase in the Natural Open Space" beyond the 10' shown in the Tentative Development Plan will actually be on individual lot properties in the project or separate space? Response: The additional Natural Open Space will be contained within the lots. The gradable area for the building pad of these lots has been pulled closer to the street. 2b. Follow-on Question: Will the developer commit to planting shrubs and trees, to a double density that will offer a wall of vegetation privacy within 4 to 5 years? Response: Yes 2c. Follow-on Question: Subsequent to reconfiguring the lots, will 100' plus Natural Open Space you ~nentian be located within the northern boundary of the affected lots in the project, or will be a separate space? Response: Yes; the natural open space is contained within the fats affected. 3a. Follow-on comment and question: In view of The Planning Center's representation of Mr. Cardinal in the proposed Wade Road Rezoning effort, it would seem that you would be the point of contact for discussions of this nature. .However, in the event Mr. Cardinal desires to act directly in this matter please provide reliable contact infartnation for him so that the affected Sombrero Estates Propezty owners may access him. Response: As we are not Real Estate Agents we cannot act on his behalf regarding 8~e purchase of property. Mr. Cardinai maybe reached at 575-0600. Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 - Page 64 of 126 4a. hollow-on Question: As with your response to our June; 12, 2009 question 5 regarding CC&R's it is requested that you place the developer "on notice" regarding our objections to the ir. ;tallation or erection of storage sheds and other aut structures by residents in the proposed project and request that the CC& R's reflect this prohibition. Response: So noted? 'The CC& R's will be similar to or the same as the CC&R's for Sombrero Peak Estates. Sa. Follow-on Comment and Ouestion: In an effort to ensure preservation to the maximum possible extent of views of the Tucson Mountains ridgelinc subsequent to development of this project, it is once again requested that the Development Plan be modified to litnit a maximum building height of l 8'. Response: In this and not knowing what the future market conditions will bring the builder needs flexibility to construct homes that the market will demand. We have stipulated to holding the ridge pole in the case of a gable roof or the parapet in the case of a flat roof at 21 feet. However, we can place the house on lots in such a manner that will not currently interfere with views; however, as the new homeowners plant trees in their landscaping views may be blacked as these trees mature. 6a. Follow-on Ques#ion: Specifically, will the CC&R's or any other'I'own of Marana Code prohibit the keeping of horses or other livestock on the properties within this project? Response: Yes. The Town of Marana Code prohibits horses except in areas zoned R-144 (3.3 acre lots). The R-144 zone permits horses at the rate of I per acre. 7. Additional Question: What is the estimated selling price range for the proposed 1,800 to 4,500 square l,~mes proposed for this project? Response: At this point it is hard to tell what the market will do, but it is estimated that the selling price including the lot will be somewhere between $600,000 and $]million. 8. Additional Question: To preserve the heavily traveled wildlife corridor running through the proposed project, is it intent of the developer to install vehicular traffic bridges over wash areas intersected by roads, in lieu of using culverts or other means? Bridges are by far the desired means. Response: As the full hydrology reports have not been colnmissioncd to know definitively the flows in the major wash which will be Grassed, we cannot say if a wildlife friendly box culvert or bridge will be necessary or possibly a dip crossing may be all that is required for this crossing, depending an the Town of Marana requirements at the time a plat is presented far review. `That information will not be available until the platting process when a full drainage repot! will be required.

Church St., Suite 6320 Tucson, AZ 85701 Attention: Mr. Bob Conant Dear Mr. Conant: On June 12, 2009, the homeowners most directly affected by tlae proposed Wade Road-Cardinal Rezoning provided you with a statement regarding our categorical opposition to this initiative. However, we also provided a list of concerns and questions regarding your Tentative Development Plan. We received your response on June 26, 2007 -- thank you. In this letter, we reiterate our categorical opposition to the proposed Wade Road-Cardinal Rezoning initiative, discuss several of your written responses to our concerns and questions, and present two additional questions for your review and comment. The land shown in your Tentative Development Plan is currently zoned R-144 Residential, which is intended to protect the existing rural character and low density in our residential neighborhood and protect this environmentally sensitive area of the Town of Marano-these are important public purposes. Those of us who purchased homes here relied on the zoning and land planning in effect at the time to preserve the rural setting, beauty, and value of our property. In fact, this is why we purchased. We request that you modify your development plans to comply with the current zoning and withdraw any application for rezoning. Comments and questions regarding your responses to specific numbered questions and concerns in our June l2, 2009 cor~•espondence are presented below: 1. Question No. 1 pertains to the depth of the existing property on the North West corner of the development. The depth is shown as 626.24/.35' on the Tentative Development Plan, but is depicted as considerably less on tl;e map of the Project Site included in the May 27, 2009 letter notification from The Planning Center. While your June 26, 2009 response states: "According to all the information w~e have the length i,s 62G.24.feet ", further investigation reveals the current Assessor's Record Map for Section 34, Township 12, South, Range 12 East shows the depth of this property to scale at only 326'. This is approximately one half of the property depth you have stated. a. Follow-on Q~~estion: Will you please provide a definitive and verifiable answer regarding the actual depth of the existing property on the North West corner of the development? Has the developer recently deeded or does he plan to convey an additional approximately 100' x 300' to the current owner of Parcel 221-32-0100 to increase. tl~e lot depth to 626.24`? This is a critical issue to the Sombrero Peak Estates property owners directly affected by this measurement. Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 71 of 126 2. Question No. 2 requested: (a) that the 10' landscape buffer running the entire length of the North boundary shown in the Tentative Development Plan be increased to 2S'; {b) that this buffer area be planted with shnibs end trees to a double density that will offer a wall of vegetation privacy witl~in 4 years; and {c).that in addition to the 25' buffer, an additional 25` Natural Undisturbed Open Space (NUOS} be included. While your Julae 26, 2007 response indicates that you "...will nlaintain the 10 foot landscape br.;fifer per• the Mcu-ana Developr~lent Code arld ^zcrease the Ncrnrral Open Space ", it does not state what the increase in the Natural Open Space will be, nor does it state if the increase in the Natural Open Space will actually be within the northern boundary of the proposed lots, or if it will be separate space. Your June 26, 2007 response also states that you "...can pla,lt so that it nautr~res ila 4 to S years depending on the plan nutteriul arsed ". While it is understood that you can do this, there is no commitment to do so. Additionally, your June 2b, 2007 response states: "Because we are re-conr~lrring the lots in yzrestion which will incl•euse the Natural Open Space to 100 feet plus ". While this is great news, it door not define whether the 100 feet plus Natural Open Space you mention will be located within the northern boundary of the affected lots. a. Follow-on Question: Will you please specify if the "ilzcrease in the Natural Open Space" beyond the 10' shown in the Tentative Development Plan will actually be on individual lot properties in the project or separate space? b. Follow-on Question: Will the developer commit to planting shrubs and trees, to a double density that will offer a wall ofvegetation privacy within 4 to 5 years? c. Follow-on Question: Subsequent to reconfiguring the lots, will the 100' plus Natural Open Space you mention be located within the northern boundary of the affected lots in the project, or will it be a separate space? 3. Question No.4 discussed our desire for deeding of the 20' x 626,24' ribbon of property shown along the northwest edge of floe Tentative Development Plan to the three adjacent Sombrero Peak Estates property owners. Your June 26, 2009 response advised that: " l)lscussiorzs oa7 this piece of prnpertu shoLrld be held with Mr. Cardinal, "1'he Plarzrlirag Center is riot a party to such disczssions ". a. Follow-on Comment and Question: In view of The Planning Center's representation of Mr. Cardinal in tlzc Proposed Wade Road-Cardina] Rezoning effort, it would seem that you would be the point of contact for discussions of this nature. However, in the event Mr. Cardinal desires to act directly in this matter, please provide reliable contact information for him so that the affected Sombrero Estates Property owners naay access him. Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 72 of 126 4. Quesiion No. 6 pertains to our concern regarding the statement in the Tentative Development Plan that a minimum setback of 20' must exist between main buildings and 10' between maintenance and access buildings, which would suggest that installing or erecting storage sheds and other out structures would be allowed. Your June 26, 2009 response indicated that these types of structures would be allowed " arnless the3% are prohibited by the CC&R s fo-- the project ". a. FOLLOW-oII Question: As with your response to our June i 2, 2009 question S regarding CC&R's, it is requested that you place the developer "on notice" regarding our objections to the installation or erection of storage sheds and other out structures by residents in the proposed project and request that the CC&R's reflect this prohibition. 5. Question No. 9 discusses our concec-n regarding the maximum building height of 25' as stated in the Tentative Development Plarx and suggests this extreme height is not in keeping with a more standard 18' height for single story dwellings. Your June 26, 2009 response notes that the 25' height reflects the standards set forth in the Marana Development Code and advises the intent of the developer to build single story houses in this project with a maximum height of 21' to give the builder some flexibility to accommodate the ceiling heights requested by the buyer. a. Follow-on Comtnent and Question: In an effort to ensure preservation to the maximum possible extent of views of the Tucson Motmtains ridgeline subsequent to development of this project, it is once again requested that the Development Plan be modified to Limit a maximum building height of 18". 6. Question No. I S discusses our concern regarding CC&R limitations on the type of animals that can be raised, bred, or kept on the properties within the proposed development and assurance that the CC&R's would prohibit the keeping, breeding, or maintaining of animals of any type for commercial purposes. Your Jtme 26, 2009 response to this broad question was simply "Yes ". a. Follow-on Question: Specifically, will the CC&R's or any other Town of Marana Code prohibit the keeping of horses or other livestock on the properties within this project? 7. Additional Question: What is the estimated selling price range for the proposed 1,800 to 4,500 square feet homes proposed for this project? Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 73 of 126 $. Additional Question: To preserve the l~cavily traveled wildlife corridor running through the proposed project, is it the intent of the developer to install vehicular traffic bridges over wash areas intersected by roads, in lieu of using culverts or o+her means? Bridges are by far the desired means. Tt is requested that The Planning Center provide written responses to the concerns and questions addressed in this letter to ail those in attendance at the June 11, 2009 neighborhood meeting sponsored by The Plaru~ing Center.

The subject property is Parcel 221-32-0100. It is possible that Mr. Cardinal is planning to convey a portion of his property to Mr. Reardon in exchange for something. This may explain the additional 300 feet. I would ask Bob Conant if he is aware of such an arrangement. You may also want #o ask Mr. Reardon.

Bob Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 76 of 126 8/31 !2009 Concerns and Questions from Homeowners Affected by the Proposed Wade Road-Cardinal Rezoning The land is curren~ly zoned R-144 Residential, which is intended to protect the existing rural character and low density in our residential neighborhood and protect this environmentally sensitive area of the Town of Marana. These are important public purposes, and those who purchased their homes here relied upon the current zoning and land planning in effect, to preserve the beauty and value of our homes. We request that you modify your development plans to comply with the current zoning, and withdraw any application for rezoning. Notwithstanding the above, we have included a list of concerns and questions we have at this time regarding your Tentative Development Plan. As time progresses, we may submit additional concerns and questions for your review. 1. The Tentative Development Pfan shows a 100' x 626.24135' existing property on the North Wes# corner of the development. This property has an existing structure and is not a part of the proposed development. In contrast, the May 27, 2009 fetter no#ification from The Planning Center includes a small map of the Project Site that depicts this same existing property as significantly lesser in depth than that shown on the Tentative Development Plan. a. Which depiction of the property as to its West to East length is correct? Response: The Tentative Development Plan. b. What is the actual length of the property? Response: According to all information that we have the length is 626.24 feet. 2. The Tentative Development Ptan shows a proposed 10' landscape buffer running the entire length of the North property boundary. a. It is requested that this landscape buffer be increased to 25`. Response: We will maintain the 10 foot landscape buffer per the Marana Development Code and increase the Natural Open Space. b. It is requested that this landscape buffer be planted with both shrubs and trees, to a double density that will offer a wall of vegetative privacy within 4 years. Response: We can plant so that it matures in 4 #0 5 years depending on the plant material used. 1 Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 77 of 126 c. In addition to the 25' buffer area noted above, it is requested that there be an additional 25' Natural Undisturbed Open Space {NUOS} that could be included in the new development property owner's lots. This 50" NUOS would need to left in its natural desert habitat. Response: Because we a re-configuring the lots in question which will increase the Natural Open Space to 100 feet plus. 3. Does the proposed 10' landscape buffer actually encroach on the southernmost property lines of the five Sombrero Peak Estates homes that butt-up to the North property boundary shown in the tentative development plan? If this is the case, it is unacceptable to the five Sombrero Peak Estates property owners. Response: No 4. There is a 20' ribbon of property shown on the northwest edge of the tentative development plan that runs West to East for a distance of 626.24'. a. Should the proposed development be approved, it is requested that this 20' x 262.24' ribbon be deeded to the three adjacent Sombrero Peak Estates property owners. Response: Discussions on this piece of property should be held with Mr. Cardinal, The Planning Center is not a party to such discussions. 5. It is requested that the CC8~R's for the tentative development prohibit open/in view storage of motor homes, boats, trailers, etc. on the property. Response: The Marana Development Cade permits accessory uses {Section 05.10.05C}. If the developer wishes to prohibit such uses the CC&R's will have to reflect such; however, the Town does not enforce CC8~R's. At the time the CC&R's are developed, which will not take place until the Final Plat is developed, long after the zoning has been approved. The developer is on notice regarding yaur concerns. 6. The Notes section on the Tentative Development Plan states: "Minimum Setback: 20' between main buildings and 10' between maintenance and access buildings": a. Does this mean that the installation or erection of storage sheds and/or maintenance, access, or other out structures will be allowed? Response: Yes per the Development Code, unless they are prohibited by the CC&R's for the project. Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 78 of 126 b. It is requested thafi the CC8~R's for the tentative development prohibit storage sheds and the erection of outdoor storage or other buildings/structures. Response: See response to question 5. 7. Does the developer intend to install a common wall along the North property line of the proposed development? lf, so, this is unacceptable. Response: No $. Regarding CC&R restrictions for the erection of fences by property owners in the tentative development: a. What wi#I be the maximum a#lowable height of fences? Response: The Town of Marano under the international Building Code allows fences at a maximum of 6 feet without a building permit. b. What construction materials will be acceptable far fences and how are they to be finished for aesthetics? Response: This will be up to the CC&R's to establish materials. 9. One of the Notes in the Tentative Development Plan stipulates that the maximum building height is 25'. This would suggest the possibility of two story s#ructures or facades reaching 25'. It is requested that the Plan be modified to limit a maximum building height of 1$', which would be more in line with single story dwellings. This would also reduce dramatic interference with views of the Tucson Mountains ridgeline Response: The note reflects the standards set forth in the Marano Development Code; however, it is the intent of the developer to build single story houses in this project. The maximum height to be 21 feet to either the ridge pole or the top of the parapet, this height gives the builder some flexibility depending on ceiling heights requested by the buyer. 1©. I# is requested that the proposed building envelope for lot #8 be moved further to the South and the bui#ding envelope for lot #9 be moved fur#her to the southwest to provide additional space between the proposed dwellings and the two existing Sombrero Peak Estates dwellings located adjacent to these lots. Response: These lots are being re-configured to move them further south. 11. Within each of the proposed lot lines there are alternating dash lines that are not shown in the legend. What do these alternating dash Eines represent? Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 79 of 126 Response: Those lines are the setback lines as established by the Marana Development Code for R-36, the solid black Line is the established building envelope by this Tentative Development Plan. 12. What are your plans for ensuring that the heavily traveled wildlife corridors running through the tentative development will be protected? Response: All Riparian Areas will remain as natural open space and not disturbed during construction. Protection of these areas will be vested with the HOA. 13. Considering that grading, filling, and leveling for construction will most likely result in changes to the existing topography elevation contours, the owners of Sombrero Peak Estates Lot #62 are concerned #hat these changes will result in the direc#ion of significant rain water runoff through the West portion of this property, thus turning i# into a wash. What steps will you take to prevent this? Response: The grading will be such that all drainage off lots will remain on the site. The Town of Marana will not permit lot drainage to leave the site, except within the drainage ways (washes). 14. Stated in terms of acreage, what is the range (from smallest to largest) of the lot sizes for the proposed development? Response:.83 - 2.32 acres 15. Will the CC8~R's for the proposed development contain restrictions regarding the type of animals that can be raised, bred, or kept on the property? Specifically, will the CC8~R's prohibit horses and the keeping, breeding, or maintaining of animals of any type far commercial purposes? Response: Yes 16. Regarding the natural xeroriparian/wash areas: a. What steps will be taken to ensure that no damage will be done to the existing washes? Response: All washes will be fenced with silt fencing during construction. b. What steps will be taken to ensure that no change of direction of the washes wiH occur? Response: The Town Code prevents any directional change in washes. 4 Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 80 of 126 c. Who will assume responsibility if any future problems arise? Response: During the time period of construction the developer will be responsible after build out of the project the HOA. 17. Will homeowners in the new development be allowed to `#ill' the building POD with hard structure, such as, concrete over the whole of the POD? Response: There is nothing from preventing the lot owner to hardscape his lot; however, because each lot will be custom graded he will only be able to hardscape the area of the parcel that is permitted to be graded. 18. What are home size ranges (square feet) for the proposed development? Response: 1,800 - 4,500 square feet 19. What will be the price range for the homes in the proposed development? Response: $600,000 - $1,000,000 20.Considering that the Tentative Development Plan shows a single entry/exit to the proposed development from Wade Road, what are your plans to widen this combined Pima County/Town of Marano road? Response: If required by the Town based an proposed traffic from the project and excel/decal lane may be required. Any other improvements to Wade can only be required across the project's frontage. It is requested that The Planning Center provide written responses to the concerns and questions promulgated in this document to all those in attendance of the June 11, 2009 neighborhood meeting.

Please note that this document is a little different from the draft version I provided to you last evening. I appreciate your input on the community concerns and look forward to the hearing from you soon. Regards, Lyn Alvarez 572-8938 Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 83 of 126 8/31!2009 Concerns and Questions from Homeowners Affected by the Proposed Wade Road-Cardinal Rezoning The land is currently zoned R-144 Residential, which is intended to protect the existing rural character and low density in our residential neighborhood and protect this environmentally sensitive area of the Town of Marana. These are important public purposes, and those who purchased their homes here relied upon the current zoning and land planning in effect, to preserve the beauty and value of our homes. We request that you modify your development plans to comply with the current zoning, and withdraw any application for rezoning. Notwithstanding the above, we have included a list of concerns and questions we have at this time regarding your Tentative Development Plan. As time progresses, we may submit additional concerns and questions for your review. 1. The Tentative Development Plan shows a 100' x 626.24135' existing property on the North West corner of the development. This property has an existing structure and is not a part of the proposed development. In contrast, the May 27, 2009 letter notification from The Planning Center includes a small map of the Project Site that depicts this same existing property as significantly Lesser in depth than that shown on the Tentative Development Plan. a. ~ Which depiction of the property as to its West to East length is correct? b. What is the actual length of the property? 2. The Tentative Development Plan shows a proposed 10' Landscape buffer running the entire length of the North property boundary. a. it is requested that this landscape buffer be increased fo 25'. b. tt is requested that this landscape buffer be planted with both shrubs and trees, to a double density that will offer a wall of vegetative privacy within 4 years. c. to addition to the 25' buffer area noted above, it is requested that there be an additional 25' Natural Undisturbed Open Space (NUOS) that could be included in the new development property owner's Lots. This 50" NUOS would need to left in its natural desert habitat. 3. Does the proposed 10' landscape buffer actually encroach on the southernmost property lines of the five Sombrero Peak Estates homes that butt-up to the North property boundary shown in the tentative development plan? If this is the case, it is unacceptable to the five Sombrero Peak Estates property owners. 2 Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 84 of 126 4. There is a 20' ribbon of property shown on the northwest edge of the tentative development plan that runs West to East for a distance of 626.24'. a. Should the proposed development be approved, it is requested that this 20' x 262.24' ribbon be deeded to the three adjacent Sombrero Peak Estates property owners. 5. It is requested that the GC&R's for the tentative development prohibit open/in view storage of motor homes, boats, trailers, etc. on the property. 6. The Notes section on the Tentative Development Plan states: "Minimum Sefback: 2d' between main buildings and 90' befween maintenance and access buildings": a. Does this mean that the installation or erection of storage sheds and/or maintenance, access, or other out structures will be allowed? b. It is requested that the CC8~R's for the tentative development prohibit storage sheds and the erection of outdoor storage or other buildings/structures. 7. Does the developer intend to install a common wall along the North property line of the proposed development? If, so, this is unacceptable. 8. Regarding CC&R restrictions for the erection of fences by property owners in the tentative development: a. What will be the maximum allowable height of fences? b. What construction materials will be acceptable for fences and how are they to be finished for aesthetics? 9. One of the Notes in the Tentative Development Plan stipulates that the maximum build>ng height is 25'. This would suggest the possibility of two story structures or facades reaching 25'. It is requested that the Plan be modified to limit a maximum building height ofi 18', which would be more in line with single story dwellings. This would also reduce dramatic interference with views of the Tucson Mountains ridgeline 10. It is requested that the proposed building envelope for lot #8 be moved further to the South and the building envelope far lot #9 be moved further to the southwest to provide additional space between the proposed dwellings and the two existing Sombrero Peak Estates dwellings located adjacent to these lots. 11. Within each of the proposed lot lines there are alternating dash lines that are not shown in the legend. What do these alternating dash lines represent? 12. What are your plans for ensuring that the heavily traveled wildlife corridors running through the tentative development will be protected? Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 85 of 126 13.Considering that grading, filling, and leveling for construction will most likely result in changes to the existing topography elevation contours, the owners of Sombrero Peak Estates Lot #62 are concerned that these changes will result in the direction of significant rain water runoff through the West portion of this property, thus turning it into a wash. What steps will you take to prevent this? 14. Stated in terms of acreage, what is the range (from smallest to largest} of the lot sizes for the proposed development? 15. Will the CG&R's for the proposed development contain restrictions regarding the type of animals that can be raised, bred, or kept on the property? Specifically, will the CC&R's prohibit horses and the keeping, breeding, or maintaining of animals of any type for commercial purposes? 16. Regarding the natural xeroriparian/wash areas. a. What steps will be taken to ensure that no damage will be done to the existing washes? b. What steps will be taken to ensure that no change of direction of the washes will occur? c. Who will assume responsibility if any future problems arise? 17. Will homeowners in the new development be allowed to `fill' the building POD with hard structure, such as, concrete over the whole of the POD? 18. What are home size ranges (square feet) for the proposed development? 19. What will be the price range for the homes in the proposed development? 20. Considering that the Tentative Development Plan shows a single entry/exit to the proposed development from Wade Road, what are your plans to widen this combined Pima CountylTown of Marana road? It is requested that The Planning Center provide written responses to the concerns and questions promulgated in this document to all those in attendance at the June i 1, 2009 neighborhood meeting.

Unanimously ' `sinner Michael Wiles, 1. PCZ-08031: Wade R©ad R Wing - A request by The Planning Center, epresenting the Carditaal Revocable Living Trust, to rezone approximately acres ofi and from 'R=144' (single family residential -minimum lot s- 144,000 square feet) to 'R-36' (single-famiiy residential -minimum lot si` ~ 36,000 square feet). The property is generally located east of Wade ~~ d and'approximately 1/4 mile north of Ina Road. Brian ~ came f -and to address the Commission. The purpose of the rezoning is to accom •. toad, elopment of single family residential home sites of approximately 39 Tots. The Town's G eral Plan designates this area as low-density residential which allows for a density range of .51-3.0 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is proposing a density of .67 residences per acre with this development which is at the lower end of the range. The proposed density is less than, but very compatible with the density to the north in the Sombrero Peak Estates and the subdivision to the east of that which is the R gular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 91 of 126 2 MINUTES REGULAR MEETING OF THE MARANA PLANNING COMMISSION August 26, 2fl09 Marana Municipal Complex Continental Ranch Parcel 51. Taking into consideration the existing development that is on this site, this site does consist of four existing home sites which will remain. The EI Paso Natural Gas Easement traverses this site on the southwest corner. Taking into consideration this disturbance, Staff has determined that a disturbance limit of 45% would be warranted and the developer will be shooting for a target disturbance of 40%. The primary and emergency access proposed for this siteY ~~propased off of Wade Road. The projected average daily trips 4ADT) far a de~t~~apient of approximately 39 lots would be 373 trips. Thirty of these would occur d~i'ing th~rw!~ekday morning peak hour and 40 which would occur during the evenin eekciay peak~~tar. The developer is also dedicating 15 feet of r' , -of--way along the easfi-sde of Wade Road to result in a half street right-of-way ~ Hof 45 f which is consisteht~~vith what we currently have to the north. The rezoning area will be served,;by Pima County's ~ nal wastewater sewer system. The sewer is going to be pulled ire-~#rom the Continent ch Parcel 51 subdivision to the northeast.

Chairman Fogel asked do you have a list of concessions, if there were, that the developer made during his meetings with the neighbors. Brian Varneyanswered I don't have a list, but I know what most ofi them are. Some of the concerns were the proximity of the disturbance envelopes along the northern boundary. Initially, these disturbance envelopes were pretty close to the northern property boundary. The neighbors from Sombrero Peak Estates had requested that the developer propose the envelopes be located further south to provide more natural undisturbed open space between the grading pads and the adjacent development. ;3 R guar ounce eetmg - ovem er 009 -Page 92 of 126 MINUTES REGULAR MEETING OF THE MARANA PLANNING COMMISSION August 26, 2009 Marano Municipal Complex These pads are proposed for roughly 18,000 square feet, so everything around them is going to remain natural undisturbed open space. The neighbors wanted as much space as possible between them and the new hams sites. Some of the other concerns were the proximity of the lots to the natural drainage areas and the riparian areas that go through the development. The Town had also requested that the lots be pulled away from these areas. The adjacent property owners wanted as m~~ch natural open space left in the development and specifically in the drainage areas r~= There was also a concern regarding the building heigh maximum height is 25 feet. Some of the neighbors td view sheds may be blacked to the mountains.

That is usually something that is ubdivision is done. That won't be done until the Commissions questions. Just to-..:clarify the drainage runs south to north. Chairman Fogel stated so it slopes to the north. Bob Conant responded yes. You will not hear this very often, but the applicant is going to propose a 12th condition to the project. That condition is the height of structures within the project shall be 21 feet from finished grade to the ridge pole in the case of gabled roofs and/or the top of the parapet in the case of flat roofs. We have agreed to that with the neighbors to the north.

We were to mimic t `~ project that he built immediately to the north, Sombrero Peak. Commissi ~ d stated I have a question of Staff. Was there any consideration to the intersec - f Wade and Ina Raad on this as far as traffic flow? Brian Varney responded I am going to defer that question to our Traffic Engineering Manager, Fernando Prol. Fernando Prof stated yes there was. In the traffic report they looked at it. Traffic impact from this subdivision will be minimal on that intersection and at the intersection of Silverbell and Wade Roads. guar Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 94 of 126 ~' MINUTES REGULAR MEETING OF THE MARANA PLANNING COMMISSION August 26, 2049 Marana Municipal Complex Chairman Fogel opened the hearing to the public. Judith Meyer came forward to address the Commission. I am here as the president of the Tucson Mountain Association, which is the neighborhood association of record for the land at issue and has been since 1934. It is the oldest neighborhood association in Arizona and it serves the area bordered to the north by Twin Peaks-Road where Silverbell Road curves around. Our mission is to preserve :and provide for the scenic quality of the area and also to protect natural habitat and to preserve the biological diversity of the area and do all things necessary and cjsirable'to-protect the health and well being of our members and the native flora a ut~a. A couple=of our members asked us to become involved when this projec - me p. x The Town of Marana has endorsed the S - Dese onservation Plan ~n~lfich we are gratified about.

We' are compromising our children's and our grandchildren's future. Are they going to haue~the critical habitat and the wildlife that we have. The Staff repork:~comments that it is consistent with the General Plan and the Planning Code just means that it is not illegal. If is actually equally consistent or more consistent with the plan and with the zoning code to keep the current zoning. The purpose of that zoning in part is to preserve environmentally sensitive areas. That is in Section 05.10.03 A. Why do this? Why increase the density of this area. This is the closest Marana gets to the Nationa( Park. There is denser development to the north. This is graded to lower density to preserve habitat.

I want to address something different than what our president addressed. That is the question that you actually brought up which was related to the wildlife corridors and the impacts.

Actually it curves and ends into Wade Road. So there is really no big north/south access there far the wildlife. There is some movement up through that center. On the other two, one is very small and does not go all the way through and that is to the northwest side. The other one to the right is very small and it ends in smaller lots to the north. Those are half acre lots. The larger green ar ends up in one, acre lots. If you were to trace it down toward the middle, there is arrow green space. If you were to look at the blowup of the aerial maps surro ng this property, you would actually find that is the corridor that the wildlife is goin a mast. Yet the lots butt up right next to it and at the very south side of this pr rty it - not really allow for much access of the wildlife going back and forth going rth an g h. Please consider that as you look at this. Really, if we halt"larger lot size, t uld allow for, particularly through that central corridor down"through the middle oft ~ - veto meat, it would.allow for that ingress/egress. We think that modification would be -' " elpful. Also, if you look to the east, west and south, the densityiis_skubstantially le surrounding this. That is part of the concern of adjacent properryuotiners"to the north as well as others surrounding this area, be ause you are puffing in much, much higher density.

I would just like to comment in response to some of the items that were brought up by the Tucson Mountain Association president and vice-president. 1 have lived on that property R gular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 97 of 126 ~: MINUTES REGULAR MEETING OF TIIE MARANA PLANNING COMMISSION August 26, 2009 Marano Municipal Complex for more than 20 years. I have been building in Tucson for 40 years, I am a conservationist and was one before it ever became popular. I can tell you that with the proximity to transportation, employment centers and the retail segment which is 2-3 miles away, this is certainly not a detriment to the fauna and flora. It is actually an enhancement because people are going to come to the area. If we keep spreading out 3.3 acres all aver the place, further and further away from the employment, transportation routes and retail centers, it really damages theyenvironment. This large ~,., channel, this open riparian area, I have watched it for overt years and there is some r „s.>,,F.;, wildlife movement, but as you go north it gets restricted~rtd~~;ot,;much unusual wildlife travels through there. On the south end it goes info a`~home. t~--not nearf as well ~` Y traveled as one would think. Again, that is from u~syears of`;t~kt~erving and watching aN of this property. I feel like we have respond a neighbors ta~~.ve adjacent to ~~..1 the property. One other thing on the west, I k the vice-president o~~~t1~e;;Tucson Mountain Association mentioned it, it is a res an 'n fact, mast of`ft~eswest side is zoned resort. They are going to put timesha do uildings on tl~~ west side. It is certainly not out of keeping. We kept the de wn as low as possible. Contrary to the president of the Tucson Mountain Associatio as always our intent to develop this as sensitively as we could. That-is what we have I encourage that you approve this rezoning request.

Just because you want something rezoned, does not mean yo:~,~should-'get it rezoned just for someone's profit. It will be profit in this and it won't be your~amt~E and ours. It is not only the integrity but, think also in terms of what is happening inMarana. Believe me, I have seen it happen. Marana has Saguaro Springs; the models have been torn dawn, it is so undeveloped and cleared off over by Twin Peaks. I used to ride that everyday to teach at Marana High School. It is a shame. It is not developed. This is not the time that people are going to come. If you are familiar with Canoa Names, who is the builder of the development north of Wade Road, drove through there today looking for something. I could not count the tumble weeds. It is undeveloped, but available lots. We don't need more. The whole area around here R guar Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 98 of 126 9 MINUTES REGULAR MEETING OF THE MARANA PLANNING COMMISSION August 25, 2004 Marana Municipal Complex is filled with lots that have not been able to be sold. Why clear off more of our desert an the chance that more people might move into Marana. Believe me that was my goal years when I moved into first subdivision in the Marana School Distric#. I was so excited that there was a subdivision and we could live in Marana. For years we road the school bus to Marana because the teachers had a school bus. That is how old the history of Marana goes back. This is the integrity of this city is once we annex you, what becomes of you. Is there a need in this city far more dense housing? 1 don't>-_.think so. Dean Reardon came forward to address the Commissio~~. l.am not much of a public speaker, but [have been out there myself since 1977`S:~I` built~ti~e house and lived there r,~. consistently ever since.

That is a little late at that point. It would be nice to see everything done and presented the way it is going to be and not maybe we will and maybe we won't or yes we can. It is too late once it is done. We can't just have the desert replaced once it has been destroyed. We certainly don't need anymore empty Tots and confusion in this day and age with the economy the way it is. Wildlife; ~ ave bob is with kittens, javelina and two week to 3 month old javelina.

I don't want #o go anywhere and I don't want to have to do it again.

Kevin Kish answered yes. State statutes require a noticing radius of 300 feet from the project area which was completed. When Mr. Cardinal did his citizen participation to have the neighborhood meeting, according to the Staff Report he did a 600 foot distance for notification. gular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 100 of 126 MINUTES REGULAR MEETING OF THE MARANA PLANNING COMMISSION Augast 26, 2009 Marana Municipal Complex Chairman Fogel asked were they notified by mail.

Brian Varney respond dually ~ia~e`copies ofi the plats for both of those suf~divisions. The minim size in parcel 51 of Continental Ranch is 14,001 square feet with an average cif 21,6 ~ 4 re feet. Comrr~issioner Adragna staled I would imagine the other one is smaller than that. Brian Varney stated also I should clarify that the specific plan allows 4,000 square foot lot sizes. The`'plat has a minimum of 14,001 and the Sombrero Peak Estate north of the project area teas a minimum lot size of 25,550 square and the average is 38,000 square feet. , Chairman Fogel asked so the ones to the north are just about the same size. Brian Varney responded most of those lots are right around 1 acre is size. The minimum in size is right around 1 acre. The minimum is 25,500 and the average is R gular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 101 of 126 12 MINUTES REGULAR MEETING OF THE MARANA PLANNING COMMISSION Augusf 26, 2009 Mara~~a Municipal C©mplex 38,000.

Frank Cas ~ c ~ e forward to address the Commission. There is going to be a huge variation rice to sewer an area depending on the geology. An example is the west side of T son, one of the reasons it did not develop until late, was that it is so rocky and very hard to sewer. It mostly developed in larger than 1 acre developments. There is a huge variation. t think we can get you a general cost for what a typical cost for sewering a development. Chairman Fogel responded OK.

CIVIC CENTER DRIVE, MARANA, ARIZONA 85653 COUNCIL CHAMBERS, November 17, 2009, 7:00:00 PM To: Mayor and Council Item A 2 From: Suzanne Machain ,Human Resources Director Strategic Plan Focus Area: Not Applicable Subject: Resolution No. 2009-191: Relating to Personnel; approving a temporary personnel policy regarding employee leave; and declaring an emergency Discussion: In response to the outbreak of the seasonal and H1N1 influenza virus, the town has taken certain actions to address some of the associated issues with the pandemic. This year, experts report that the H1N1 flu virus may cause a more dangerous flu season, with many more people becoming ill. In considering response strategies to the flu, employers must balance a variety of objectives when determining how best to decrease the spread of influenza and lower the impact of influenza in the workplace. A communication campaign is important. The town has taken measures to continually communicate messages about the flu to employees through e-mails, employee newsletters and posters, to include messages about reducing transmission among staff through social distancing and sneezing/coughing etiquette. The town has also installed hand-sanitizer dispensers and hands-free towel dispensers throughout the town facilities which will help prevent the spread of germs. Additionally, the town hosted the annual seasonal flu shot clinic and continues to disseminate information about upcoming flu shot clinics in the region. One of the best ways to reduce the spread of influenza is to keep sick people away from well people. Health experts recommend that workers who have symptoms of influenza-like illness stay home and not come to work until at least 24 hours after their fever has resolved. The town will encourage sick workers to stay home without fear of losing their position or status with the Town. Additionally, workers may need to be absent due to childcare obligations. Schools may dismiss students and childcare programs may close, particularly if the severity of the flu increases. The town will permit employees to take time off for this purpose as well. Because the town is committed to protecting the health and safety of all employees, the Mayor and Council is being asked to consider adopting a resolution that will temporarily relieve certain of the town's personnel policy limitations and/or restrictions for purposes of the pandemic influenza. President Obama declared a pandemic influenza outbreak in October 2009. Therefore, it is recommended that this temporary policy be made effective immediately upon adoption and remain in effect through the flu season. The end of the flu season is unknown and is expected to be a factor through January and beyond. Due to the uncertainty of the date, it is Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 110 of 126 recommended that this temporary policy remain in effect for as long as the Town Manager deems it appropriate, based upon information from public health officials regarding the duration of the pandemic influenza outbreak. The temporary policy measures are as follows: Chapter 4 -Employment Benefits Current Policy followed by recommendation: Section 4-1-5 Request for Vacation Leave A. Eligible employees may request to use vacation leave after 180 days of employment. It is recommended that eligible employees be permitted to use vacation leave as the leave is accruing for absences related to illness of the employee or a covered immediately family member, where sick leave for such absence would normally be used/approved. Employees would be able to use leave time accrued in the same pay period as earned. This will help ensure that employees who are ill will stay home because their income is protected. Section 4-2-4 Permitted Uses (Sick Leave) A. Eligible employees may use sick leave after 30 days of employment. It is recommended that eligible employees be permitted to use sick leave as the leave is accruing. Employees would be able to use leave time accrued in the same pay period as earned. Section 4-3-3 Request for Personal Leave A. Eligible employees may request to use personal leave after 30 days of employment. It is recommended that eligible employees be permitted to use personal leave immediately as needed for absences related to illness of the employee or a covered immediate family member where sick leave for such absence would normally be used/approved. Each employee is granted two days of personal leave each calendar year. Section 4-10 Leave Donation Eligible employees may receive contributions of leave from other employees as outlined in this policy if the employee is unable to return to work due to his or her own catastrophic personal illness or injury or the catastrophic personal illness or injury of an immediate family member. It is recommended that leave donations be permitted for non-catastrophic illnesses during this time period in order to include the pandemic influenza as an illness eligible for donated leave.

An action strategy associate with the goal is to create a naming program to give historically significant names to parks and public facilities. Subject: Presentation:_Relating to Parks and Recreation; naming process for the new district park under construction at Silverbell and Cortaro Discussion: During the month of September, the Town of Marana Parks and Recreation Department conducted a contest to allow Marana residents the opportunity to nominate a name for the new district park being constructed at Silverbell and Cortaro Roads. The contest was publicized through local media, the town's Web page, social media outlets, and parks and recreation program sites. Information regarding the historical significance of the park site was presented. Participants were asked to offer naming suggestions that related either historically or geographically to the site. Ninety-one suggestions were received by email, USPS mail, and hand delivery. As advertised, the list was narrowed to five nominations by the Parks and Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission at its regular meeting on October 15. Those suggestions and their historicaUgeographical significance are: PARK NAME SIGNIFICANCE Bojorquez Ruins Park Site of the Bojorquez Ranch Ancient Trails Park People of many cultures have past along this route for generations. Simply put in the news article, the area was a "...crossroads and meeting place..." The name is clear and simple, plus could easily be combined with a logo or graphic that depicts the history. For example Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 117 of 126 an intersection of 2 roads that appear as a cross (no religious Crossroads Park reference) and within the quadrants of the Crossroads, four very distinct graphics. One graphic could show a crop, another a Hohokam emblem, etc. Legacy District Park Remembering where we came from and leaving our own trail for future generations. i The story teller is a Native American elder; future stories will be told Story Teller Park about experiences at the park; thousands of stories are housed at the library, interpretive areas of the park will tell stories of the past. The Town of Marana Parks and Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission requests the Town Council to narrow the list of proposed names to three finalists. The public will then be asked to vote for their favorite name that will become the name of the new district park at Cortaro and Silverbell.

Suggested Motion: Regular Council Meeting -November 17, 2009 -Page 118 of 126 HELP US NAME THE PARK Make a little history by helping the Town of Marana name its newest district park. Think of a name that describes the history or geographic significance of the park location at the corner of Silverbell and Cortaro roads. The Town of Marana Parks and Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission will review the list and submit finalists to the Marana Town Council. The Council will shorten the list to three or four names for a public vote. The winning name will be revealed at the park's grand opening in February. The park site has been a crossroads and meeting place for thousands of years. As early as A. D. 750, the site was the location of a Hohokam farming village. The Santa Cruz River flows north from Mexico and joins monsoon rains from the Tucson Mountains flowing in the Yuma Wash; a perfect location for growing crops and families. Spanish explorer Juan Batista de Anza passed through the park site in 1775 on his journey with 300 travelers to Northern California. The Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail runs along the park on the east side and the Anza Auto Route passes along Silverbell Road to the west. The Mormon Battalion marched by in 1846, and the Butterfield Stage Coach passed by from 1858 to 1861 carrying passengers and mail from St. Louis to San Francisco twice a week. The park site was once part of the Bojorquez-Aguirre Ranch, a large ranch and 40,acre farm that operated on the site from the 1880s through 1940. Silverbell Road carried people, materials, and supplies past the park on the way to the Silver Bell Mine since the 1870s. The park is part of a trade route that has existed since prehistoric time.
