Mayor Honea opened the public hearing. Presented by Steve Cheslak. After a brief overview of the project, Mr. Cheslap noted that the applicant met with neighbors twice before the Planning Commission hearing on December 16, 2015. At that meeting, the applicant showed the Commission and staff nine planning areas ranging in size from one to 21 acres with three land uses within those planning areas of employment center, residential and open space. Forty percent of the entire project was open space. They were requesting 851 dwelling units as a maximum, and planning area 2 on the north side was restricted to residential single family to match the Oasis Hills subdivision. At that meeting, the applicant requested to restrict development to a residential use, single family and planning areas 7, 8 and 9. At that time, the Planning Commission made that a rezoning condition. Since that meeting, the applicant has changed the plan and among other things, has reduced the number of units to 693. Staff is recommending approval. Stacey wears, for Norris Design, representing Red Point Development, owner of the property, highlighted a few Ivey points in addition to the study session and the neighborhood meeting in December. This is similar to Cascada and quarries several of the visionary ideas from that plan. His firm was looping at how the planning would complement the Marana Center and other development opportunities for commercial and tie those into Linda Vista Boulevard and Hartman Vistas. Council Member Comerford asked about the timing of the project. Mr. wears stated that the goal of Red Point Development is to move as soon as possible as long as the market stays consistent because of the interest for single family and higher density properties. Robert Chlvers spore, noting that he owns 12 acres south of the eastern portion. His concern and interest is in the many right of ways and easements and ability to provide access to Hartman Estates and surrounding development. Ryan Mahoney addressed Council and noted that staff islet with Mr. Chiver s prior to this meeting and looped at some of the old county - naps that January 19, 2016 Meeting Minutes showed a number of easements, none of which appeared to be rights of way. They were small easements that went along the property lines, and they were small easements that would allow access back into properties such as Mr. Chivers. Part of the planning process is to consider access, and with this project to push to access moving south though the subject property down through to their southern boundary, so that ultimately that would come out at Cortaro. where Mr. Chivers' property sits, he would be able to gain access into that adjacent parcel and ultimately connect in with what we could call a spine road moving down through several properties as they develop so that we don't get into a landlocked situation. Mayor Honea asked if Mr. Chivers currently has access to his property. Mr. Mahoney responded that Mr. Chivers takes access on a variety of easements. As development has occurred, there has been discussion as to the best way to access his property. The reaps actually looked fairly convoluted due to the number of easements, but he believes Mr. Chivers still has access to the property. Staff will keep an eye on this as development continues. David Lutz, county resident, spoke in opposition to the rezoning due to the tax impacts of this project and many others in this area on his property. There being no further comments, Mayor Honea closed the public hearing. Council Member Comerford moved to approve, seconded by Vice Mayor most. 1 assecl unanimously 5-0. A2 Resolution No. 2016 Relating to Heritage; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute a community partner and license agreement between the Town of Marana and the Marana Heritage Conservancy. Presented by Tony Hunter. This is a new agreement between the parties. The main elements of the agreement are for the Conservancy to occupy and use the Heritage House at the Heritage River Park. Staff believes this is an important step in the overall use of the Park, as it will provide an onsite presence in the Park of a town partner to act as ambassador of the town's heritage and culture. He highlighted several features of the agreement including the use of some of the rooms for special events and the ability of the Conservancy to act as docents to visitors to the park during their operating hours. The town will take on the costs of utilities related to the building. other costs would be the responsibility of the Conservancy. This is fully in line with an entire focus area of the Strategic Plan. There being no questions, a motion to approve by Council Member Comerford, was seconded by Council Member Bowen and passed unanimously 5--0. A3 Resolution No. 2016-010 -, Relating to Development; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Foothills /Tapestry Procedural Development Agreement and Conditional Settlement Agreement for the property located west of Thornydale Road, about a quarter mile north of Moore Load, and about a quarter mile east of Dove Mountain Boulevard.
