4.
Mr. Varney gave a general overview of the property and presented staffs recommendation for
approval before introducing the consultant to the applicant, Linda Morales. Ms. Morales,
principal with The Planning Center and representing the applicant. She provided an overview of
the current plan as well as iterations of previous plans brought to the Planning Commission and
the Council. All agreements that were in place last time are still in place. Additionally, an
extension of the water line to the neighbors to the north.
Mayor Honea opened the public hearing. Those speaking in support of the rezoning were Bill
Baffert, Ryan Johnson, Braxton Cooley, Kelly Abbott, Jeff Colson, Christina McVie—
support with conditions as noted in the letter from the Coalition for Sonoran Desert
Protection, Bruce Romano, Pat Lopez--support with conditions as noted in the letter from
the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, Fred Barnett, Richard Neter, and Stephen
Grimm.
Those speaking in opposition to the development were David A. Lutz, Craig Rosson,
Kathleen Wahl, Barbara Rosson, Andrew Steffek, Tom Evitts, Greg Mitchell, Kate
Breakey, Charles Kelly, Barbara Rose, Hardy Smith, Marilyn Newberry, Geraldene
Larrington, Craig LeCroy, Joan Smith, Anne Loftfield, Curt Larson, Ken Scoville, Joyce

Walters, Louise Argall Olm, Niall Murphy, Kevin Kading, Walter Whately, Sue Ann
Christenson, Kerry Milligan,Jackie Day,Jesse Stanley, Soren Welsh, Steve Swidler,Judith
Meyer,Justin Schmidt, and Li Schmidt.
Mayor Honea closed the public hearing to hear from Council. Mayor Honea noted that there
were some things he was interested in that aren't in the agreement such as the water well. Ms.
Morales confirmed that the well will not be used for the project. The project will be hooked up
to the town's water system which is the well down on wade Road. He also addressed a potable
water source for the hiking trail. He wanted both trails—on the north side and the south side.
Next, he stated that the developer had agreed to put a 400-foot extension of the water line from
the Lazy K property to Scenic Drive in the town's right of way whether anyone hooks up to it or
not. Again, Ms. Morales confirmed that that was correct. He also wants no back-to-back lots so
May 16,2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 3
that animals can move through the property. He also referred to a list of lot sizes submitted by
the applicant. Applicant submitted a list of lot sizes, and he is very interested in the larger lot
sizes. He is also in favor Scenic Drive opening up. He hiked up Moonfire Road which is a nice
wide road, but there are a lot of kids playing. We can slow down the traffic on Scenic with
traffic calming measures, and if there is a larger problem, our police officers will be out there.
Scenic Drive would also have a parallel to it for bicyclists, hikers and walkers so that they
wouldn't have to be on the road. Landscape would be xeriscape to blend in with the natural
desert environment. Vice Mayor Post asked about the Coalition's covenant. Ms. Morales
noted that the summarizations that Mr. Lopez and Ms. McVie gave were accurate. At the
Planning Commission meeting last month, we agreed in concept to a covenant that would be held
by a third party that would protect that open space. All along the developer has said that the open
space will be protected with multiple layers. One is the Plan as presented when they come back
with a subdivision plat, and two is the plat itself. We plan to plate the entire property including
the 150 foot buffer around it. Any deviation would require them to come back and redo the plat
as well as the zoning. The third level of protection is the CCR's prohibiting encroachment into
the natural areas. Mr. Lopez and the people he represents indicated that they felt there needed to
be another layer of protection. The developer has no desire to come in and disturb that at any
time. It has never been in the plans to do anything with that Iso foot buffer, so the developer is
fine with the extra layer; however, it is in conflict with the trail. where staff has asked the
developer to put the trail in and connect to white Stallion, they have tried to remain neutral. The
Coalition has said they don't want the trail. In order to have staff support, the developer put the
trail in. So now the developer is in the awkward position of wanting to have the trail, wanting to
have the Coalition's support as well as Mr. Lopez' support, so at some point she will have to put
it back on the Council to say which way to go. The developer will be fully in support of their
decision. Vice Mayor Post stated that he tended to agree with having a trail over the mountain to
the white Stallion, but in the developer's plan, you said you would plat the buffer and open
space which allows it to come back at some future date. Ms. Morales stated that there is always
the possibility of coming back to rezone the property, but she doesn't believe it's realistic to
expect that 178 property owners would agree to compromise the open space which would be
owned by the homeowners' association. In response to Vice Mayor Post's question about the
homeowners' association constituting a third party, Ms. Morales acknowledged that the
association has a board and would have management oversight and control over the open space,
but the close ties to the developer could be called into question. Council Member Comerford
believes this iteration is four times the original rooftops, which does not make this a minor
amendment. She is disappointed with the staff report. She continued with her concerns and
stated she will be voting no.
In response to comments from Mr. Lopez about the open space covenant as presented in the
Coalition's letter, Council Member Bowen stated that he didn't have a problem with the
covenant. He likes the Plan, will vote for it. Speaking on behalf of 178 people who will love
living here and who aren't represented tonight, he believes the Plan is not the wasting of a jewel,
but the development of one. Council Member McGorray expressed her opposition to the Plan,
noting that she doesn't like the entryway and doesn't want to see the development. She would
not be voting for it. Council Member Ziegler stated that she voted for the project the last time
and intends to vote for it this time. She thanked The Planning Center for making a plan she
would be proud to have in the town. She was also glad they took the Coalition's
recommendations to make that open space as big as they could.
May 16,2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 4
Council Member Bowen moved to approve ordinance No. 2017.013 as presented by staff, and
then asked Mr. Cassidy if he could add the covenants as part of the motion. Mr. Cassidy
responded affirmatively and stated there are a lot of different options, and he has some suggested
language if Council wants to discuss that. Council Member Bowen continued with the motion
and they could decide how to proceed after that. Motion seconded by.Mayor Honea. Mayor
Honea asked Ms. Bronson to poll the Council. Aye: Mayor Honea, Vice Mayor Post, Council
Member Bowen and Council Member Ziegler. Nay: Council Member Comerford and Council
Member McGorray. Passed 4-2.
After the vote, Council Member Ziegler stated she was not in favor of the covenant but she
wouldn't let it stop her, and discussion ensued. Mr. Cassidy then clarified that the motion was
approved but it did not include the covenant and asked Council Member Bowen if he wanted to
add the covenant. Council Member Bowen stated that he would like to add to the motion a
covenant as presented by Mr. Lopez and the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Preservation an
additional condition, second by Vice Mayor Post. Mr. Cassidy stated that the way you would
put it into the documentation would be to add a condition#18 that says "The Property owners
shall enter into an open space covenant with a third party conservation entity in substantially the
form presented by attorney Pat Lopez at the Council's public hearing on this item, to ensure that
the open space areas approved within future development of the Larger Parcel remain as open
space in perpetuity." Mr. Cassidy continued, reminding Council that the Coalition had the 300-
foot provision that would require an amendment to the development agreement. If Council
wants to carry that forward, the covenant would be in conflict with Section 23 of the
development agreement as written, so to make it consistent you would need to add the words "no
closer than 300 feet east of the west property boundary to Section 23." So that would make it
exactly consistent with what the Coalition has asked for. Vice Mayor Post stated that in
response to Council Member Ziegler's concern about the addition of the covenant, over the years
the Council has depended on the Coalition to negotiate for the Council on habitat before
proceeding with any plans, so when they say they would like to see this on this piece of property,
he would tend to agree with their purpose. Council Member Ziegler asked Mr. Cassidy if the
town had ever done this on a piece of property. Mr. Cassidy responded that he didn't think that
the town has, but it is very common throughout the state to have a separately enforceable
covenant. Tucson had a very controversial rezoning years ago where the home builder came in
and tried to overturn it, and the City Council agreed to overturn it, and the neighbors only
protected that rezoning through a covenant which was upheld by the court. Vice Mayor Post
indicated that there will be more opportunity to need to work with the Coalition given the bill
that was just passed and the need for people to find third party groups that can take open space.
Mayor Honea asked if after the citizens take control of the HOA, does the covenant stay there
forever. Mr. Cassidy responded that as Mr. Lopez has written it, it would be a permanent
document. Mayor Honea asked for a vote. The Mayor announced that the motion passed on a
voice vote. He is in opposition because he thinks the HOA could handle it and he doesn't like
getting a bunch of people involved.
Mr. Cassidy continued by addressing the mayor, saying that there were a couple of other things
that were discussed that aren't actually part of the documents yet, but Council had asked the
applicants about, so Mr. Cassidy asked for clarification on some of the documents. one is about
the water system. He thinks if you are going to make the well and the water line part of the
ordinance, he recommends that you adopt the language which is in addition to draft paragraph 4
of Section 4 which says: As represented and offered by the property owners during the
May 16,2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 5
Council's public hearing on this rezoning: (a) the Water Infrastructure Phasing Plan shall include
extension of the potable water main within the 400 feet north of the north boundary of the larger
parcel; and (b) if requested by the Water Director they would have to dedicate the well. This also
requires a slight change to the development agreement because the development agreement is
partially a modification of a 2001 agreement, and under the 2001 agreement, they weren't going
to give us that equipment, so he would add a section(c) that says the owner waives any claim to
just compensation. Mr. Cassidy also mentioned that section (b) under paragraph 24 of the
development agreement does actually say that during construction the developer would be
permitted to use the well. So if you wanted to modify that and say no, they can't—of course you
would have to consult with the property owner because that's their well, but that would be
something to consider as well. Mayor Honea stated that they wouldn't be able to provide
potable water to any of the housing once they get Marana water in there. The only thing the
well would be used for is dust control or something like that. Vice Mayor Post asked how they
could use it as construction water. Mr. Cassidy said they would have to dedicate it to us by the
final, but under the agreement, the way it reads is no matter what the ownership circumstance is,
they are authorized under the documents to use the well. In paragraph 24 it says "the owner may
continue to use the existing wells on the owner's land referred to in section 6 of the 2001 PADA
for construction and irrigation water until completion of the development of the owner's land."
So that's notwithstanding who would own it. Council Member Comerford asked if this was
conflicting (garbled) to which Mr. Cassidy responded that it's not really. If the water Director
wants ownership, they would still have the right under this document to receive the water for
construction purposes if we left this language in. So you could strike (b) and replace it with the
(c) that Mr. Cassidy read to Council before by saying that they'll just dedicate it, but he thinks
that you would want to consultant with the property owners. I don't know what the plans are in
terms of construction water. I would assume they would go ahead and hook up the water early.
Greg Wexler addressed Council stating that they would need water for the plant material when
they irrigate it and initially some dust control. They will work with the neighbors to make sure
they won't impact them., and as soon as we get the Marana Water, then we'll give the town the
well or they can have it before then. They just need the well initially to get started. You have to
move all the plants and set up a temporary nursery. Council Member Comerford asked for
clarification on the discussion and the vote. Mr. Cassidy responded that the discussion is about
additional conditions on the original vote. Before the first vote was made, Council Member
Bowen asked if they could vote on individual conditions after the main vote on whether to
approve the rezoning. So in answer to that he is suggesting on the subject of paragraph (b) that
we change (b) to say "Section (c) of the 2001 PADA for transplanting native materials and dust
control until completion of the development of the owner's land." Council Member Comerford
asked if that wasn't all covered in the original vote. Vice Mayor Post asked to tighten the
language to get closer to what Mr. Wexler said. Ms. Morales suggested adding "until the water
lines are connected to Marana water", but according to Mr. Cassidy that sort of motivates the
owner not to connect because they have plenty of water. Mayor Honea confirmed for Council
Member Comerford that the Council voted on the primary item, but there were additional things
they were going to act on separately like getting the well site and how much water they could
actually use from their well. Council Member Bowen asked if they could say that nothing can
be started until Marana water lays pipe. Mr. Cassidy agreed that that would be the easiest thing.
That would be by deleting (b) but the problem is that requires them to invest in connecting the
water line before (garbled—overspeak). The other thing is what happens if there is a dust control
issue during transplanting. That means they can't plant or they have to bring a water truck. So
yes, you can replace (b) with this language. Council Member Bowen said to make that a
May 16,2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 6
motion, seconded by Mayor Honea. Mayor Honea announced that the motion passed on a
voice vote. Mr. Cassidy said that since we changed the development agreement, Section 3 of
the ordinance needs to be revised slightly by adding language that says "as modified pursuant to
Council action during the public hearing on this item.".Motion to approve by Council Member
Bowen, second by Council Member Ziegler. Mayor Honea announced that the motion passed
on a voice vote. Council Member Comerford excused herself at 9:50 p.m.
Mr. Cassidy said there was also an item regarding the parking on Scenic Drive. The language
for the parking on Scenic Drive was based on the old plan where there was a path along the
north, and that hasn't been modified, but the old language said"for 150 linear feet south of the
north boundary Scenic Drive would be widened so that you get parking along Scenic Drive."
There was a speaker tonight who lives across the street who suggested that there not be any
parking along Scenic Drive. If you wanted to go with that, you would delete paragraph 6 of
Exhibit D to the development agreement, but the other option would be to go ahead and leave 6
but move the location of that parking to conform to the fact that the trail is now on the south end.
And you could say that the 150-foot widening for parking would be south of the Pima Farms
Road entrance. Mayor Honea said there is parking on Scenic Drive on the north end now at the
roundabout. Mr. Cassidy that was correct, but under the development agreement, the
roundabout is being abandoned back to the property owner. Ms. Morales stated that the concept
plan pegged five spaces coming off of Scenic, which is what she talked about with staff. There
was some discussion originally about putting it as part of the entry where the gate would go and
then realized there would be some traffic conflict. But the property owner is amenable to
wherever the Council feels is an appropriate location. A little further down Scenic is another
little pull-out that people use to park off-site, and a lot of people park at the lot at Sanctuary
Cove. So since there are a lot of parking opportunities,that's kind of why staff landed on five or
six spaces in the vicinity. Mr. Cassidy stated that if you do that, he suggests deleting paragraph
6 of Exhibit D that he showed Council. Ms. Morales also noted that it's in the specific plan as a
requirement so it wouldn't go away; it wouldn't have to go in the development agreement.
Motion to delete paragraph 6 of Exhibit D to the development agreement by Vice.Mayor Post,
second by Council Member Bowen. The.Mayor announced that the motion passed by a voice
vote.
Mr. Cassidy noted that the last item for consideration is not in the documents and concerns the
back-to-back lots and the size of the lots. If Council wanted to make that part of the ordinance,
you would need to revise Section 4, the conditions of the rezoning in paragraph 2 which talks
about the preliminary development plan that is presented. To add the prohibition on back-to-back
lots, Mr. Cassidy suggests that Council add (a) no back-to"back lots are permitted (that is, the
rear property lines of lots shall not touch) and then the lots shall be a minimum of 6,000 square
feet and lot sizes shall conform to a table he prepared based on a document that was shown to
some of the Council during the process about what size the lots would be. They would have to do
at least the minimums but they can do larger under Mr. Cassidy's language. And then (b) carries
forward the representation about the number of lots of certain sizes. They can have more larger
lots under this language, but they can't have more smaller lots. Motion to accept Mr. Cassidy-s
language by.Mayor Honea, second by Vice Mayor Post. Mayor Honea announced that the
motion passed by a voice vote.
Note: The language provided to Council by Mr. Cassidy regarding the various supplemental
motions is attached to these minutes and incorporated herein.
