A. 2 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Kevin Kish, Interim Planning Director Resolution No. 2004-39: Relating to Subdivisions; Approving the Sombra de Teeolote Final Plat. DISCUSSION The Preliminary Plat for this project was heard by Cotmcil on January 20, 2004, and was unanimously approved. The project is east of and adjacent to Camino de Oeste and south of Camino del Norte and consists of eight single-family residential lots ranging in size from 53,447 square feet to 117,992 square feet, or 1.23 acres to 2.7 acres. The maximum developable area of each lot is limited to 19,000 square feet, and a plat note has been created to enforce this restriction. The CC&R's memorialize the requirements for grading envelopes and maintenance of the Natural Undisturbed Open Space (NUOS). The total property has a gross square footage of 646,946. The road covers approximately one acre or 43,560 square feet. The total disturbance area is 195,560, leaving 407,826 square feet as NUOS. As a percentage of the gross area, the disturbance is approximately 30%. The homes to be constructed will be custom built to specifications that will be guided by the CC&R's. The homes will be in the three to four hundred thousand dollar range, and architecture will be southwestern style. The neighbors to the south will be protected by NUOS ranging from thirty to over eighty feet inside the property line to any road, wall, or structure. As a condition of approval, dedication of a 45 foot right-of-way on the east side of Camino de Oeste will occur. The owner will also be required to pave Camino de Oeste between Turkey Lane and the entrance to this project. This paving will need to occur in both Pima County and the Town and will be subject to the standards of both jurisdictions. A single cul-de-sac is proposed to serve the eight lots, and will be dedicated to the Town. The street section shows a 42-foot right-of-way, with 14-foot travel lanes and 2-foot rolled curb. The lots are large enough to accommodate all parking, so there will be no need for on-street parking. The R-36 zoning provides for set-backs of 30 feet for the front yard, 15 feet on side yards, and 40 feet for rear yards. To adhere to the disturbance limitations, the owner has opted to set aside NUOS within each lot, utilizing grading envelopes. These envelopes will be in addition to the setback restrictions. A Homeowners' Association will be formed to assume management responsibility for the NUOS within the project. The requirements for the preservation of the NUOS, including the financia responsibilities, and the methods of enforcement are included in the CC&R's. This project will be served by public sewer. The applicants have met with adjacent neighbors and addressed their concerns. Staff has no received any inquiries on this Final Plat. RECOMMENDATION Planning Commission and Staff recommend adoption of Resolution No. 2004-39 approving the Sombra de Tecolote Final Plat. SUGGESTED MOTION I move to approve Resolution No. 2004-39.

DISCUSSION Gladden Farms Block 5 is located within the Gladden Farms development. The site is located directly south of Moore Road, west of the new Lon Adams Road and north of Gladden Farms Drive, within Section 34, Township 11 South, Range 11 East. This Final Plat consists of 129 single-family detached home lots on 25.73 acres. Included in this subdivision are Lots 1 through 129 and Common Areas "A" and "B". This project is zoned Ro6, which requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. The smallest lot is lot number 76 which is 6,000 square feet with the average lot size for the plat being 6,840 square feet. US Home Corporation/Lennar will be the builder on Block 5. US Home Corporation and Lennar will both offer houses in this subdivision. Lennar has four model plans and US Home Corporation is currently proposing five model plans. Only one of the US Home Corporation plans is a two story model. The maximum height of the two-story home will be 25 feet. The subdivision is limited to 30%, or six, two-story homes along Gladden Farms Drive and six two- story homes along Moore Road. General notes 21, 22, 23, 25, and 26 address the Town Council concerns with regard to height and aesthetics. These notes restrict the overall number of two-story homes to a maximum of 50%, with no more than two consecutive two-story homes adjacent to one another or on comer lots, fence returns placed near the back of the homes to allow for more front yard landscaping, no two homes with the same elevation or color scheme shall be permitted adjacent to one another, and the plat must abide by the amendment to Title 5 of the Land Development Code Section 05.10.12.G. The necessary Avigation Easement for Block 5 has been accepted by Town staff and will be recorded with the final plat.

B. 1 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Kevin Kish, Interim Planning Director PUBLIC HEARING - Resolution No. 2004-38: Relating to Subdivisions; Approving the Continental Reserve Block 16A Preliminary Plat. DISCUSSION The project site is located south of Pima Reserve Drive and southeast of Continental Reserve Loop Road, in the Pima Farms Specific Plan. It is in the second phase of the Continental Reserve development. The south property line of the subdivision abuts existing low-density residential uses. The Specific Plan calls for a 75-foot setback fi.om existing properties. On both the east and west sides of the subdivision there is a natural resource easement. The land use for this project is Medium Density Residential per the Pima Farms Specific Plan. That density allows for minimum lot sizes of 4,000 square feet, however the minimum lot size in this project is 6,901 square feet on lot number 16, and the maximum is 14,885 at lot number 38. The average lot size is 8,149 square feet. The required set-backs for MDR are 20' front, 5' side, and 10' rear. The density of this project is approximately 3 residences per acre. There will be a 75' set-back on the south border of the property. Lots 11 through 14 are adjacent to Continental Reserve Loop Road and will be restricted to single story homes. Common area, including open space, drainage and utilities, is provided in the amount of 7.82 acres. All lots in the approximately lower one-third of the project are subject to the requirements of the Development Sensitive Overlay as described in the Pima Farms Specific Plan. Ingress and egress will be provided to the project by two streets entering from Pima Reserve Drive. On-site cimulation is achieved with five cul-de-sacs and four connector streets. The street section shows the street widths at 42', with 14' travel lanes, 2' curbs, and 5' sidewalks. The Plat is subject to the Marana South Transportation Benefit Area impact fee. These impact fees will be collected at the time of building permitting. Staff has reviewed the plat for conformance with the Land Development Code, the General Plan, the Pima Farms Specific Plan, the Continental Reserve Block Plat, and the Continental Reserve Production Homebuilder Design Guidelines. Staff finds the proposal meets all applicable requirements.

DISCUSSION The Town Council conducted a public hearing for this annexation on November 4, 2003, and staff is now requesting Council action. The proposed annexation comprises approximately 422 acres of land bordering the eastern foothills of the Tortolita Mountains and north of Tangerine Road. The Town has received signed petitions representing over 50 percent of the property owners and over 50 percent of the real and personal property value. The 422 acres are zoned Pima County RH (Rural Homestead) and will translate into the Town of Marana zoning of RD-180 (Rural Development). All notification requirements have been properly complied with for this annexation. The annexation meets the requirements as set forth in A.R.S. § 9-471 (annexation statutes). This is the final step of the annexation process for the Town Council. According to the Town's annexation requirements, the thirty-day waiting period after the original blank petition was recorded ended November 10, 2003. The Council can now approve the ordinance annexing the area into the Town of Marana. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 2004.01, the Saguaro Ranch East Annexation.

B. 3 MAYOR AND COUNCIL Frank Cassidy, Town Attomey Resolution No. 2004-42: Relating to Development Agreements; Approving and Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a First Amendment to the Saguaro Ranch Pre-Annexation Development Agreement. DISCUSSION This item relates to an agreement affecting a portion of the Saguaro Ranch East Annexation area which is on the agenda for separate consideration at tonight's meeting. This item would authorize the execution of a First Amendment to the Saguaro Ranch Pre-annexation Development Agreement with the developer of the Saguaro Ranch project, extending the benefits and burdens of the Saguaro Ranch Pre-annexation Development Agreement to those portions of the Saguaro Ranch East Annexation Area that are owned by the developer of the Saguaro Ranch project.

B. 4 TO: ~ FROM: SUBJECT: MAYOR AND COUNCiL Frank Cassidy, Town Attomey Resolution No. 2004-41: Relating to Development; Approving and Authorizing the Execution of an Amended and Restated Development Agreement with Best Associates II, LLC Regarding the Saguaro Springs Development Project DISCUSSION In 1998, the Town of Marana and Best Associates II, LLC, entered into a development agreement relating to the Saguaro Springs development project. In the intervening years, several changes have been made with respect to the project, the surrounding infrastructure requirements, and Town policies toward development. In connection with the approval of the Saguaro Springs final plat, which is also on tonight's agenda, the Developer is requesting Council approval of an Amended and Restated Development Agreement for the Saguaro Springs development project. This Amended and Restated Development Agreement is the product of long negotiation between the Developer and Town staff. Among other things, the Amended and Restated Development Agreement differs from the original agreement by (i) requiring the Developer to structurally reconstruct a portion of Twin Peaks Road that was not included in the original agreement and to overlay other portions; (ii) referencing now-completed improvement plans that clearly establish the extent of the required improvements to Airline Road, Lambert Lane, and Twin Peaks Road; (iii) eliminating a special $1,000 per unit general transportation fee in favor of the now-adopted $2,435 per unit transportation development impact fee for the Marana South Benefit Area, to be used for the future Twin Peaks Interchange; and (iv) requiring the Developer to make drainage improvements not included as part of the original development agreement. Many other revisions have also been made to conform to new information and clearer expectations about the development that have been made possible with the passage of time, the further study of the property, and interactions with other affected parties. For example, the Amended and Restated Development Agreement includes provisions that carry for, yard the Developer's obligations arising out of its newly negotiated agreement with the Arizona Portland Cement Company. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2004-47, approving and authorizing thc execution of the Amended and Restated Development Agreement with Best Associates II, LLC, relating to thc Saguaro Springs development project.

DISCUSSION This item accompanies the Saguaro Springs final plat and amended development agreement items on tonight's agenda. This resolution would authorize the execution of an amendment to the water utility service agreement that would simply extend for three years the term of the agreement and would allow the developer to obtain reimbursement for connections made during the extension period.

B. 6 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Kevin Kish, Interim Planning Director Resolution No. 2004-15: Relating to Subdivisions; Approving the Saguaro Springs Final Plat. DISCUSSION The applicant is requesting the approval of a Final Block Plat consisting of 10 blocks, with Common Areas "A through "D" and 9 Lots, with Lots "A" and "B" for public dedication, on ap- proximately 790 acres. This plat includes residential blocks, residential lots, a proposed school site, drainage and open space blocks, with lots to be dedicated for public utilities, dedications of necessary fights-of-way. The property is generally located east of Airline Road between Lam- bert Lane, Twin Peaks Road, and the Tucson Mountains. The Town Council approved the Preliminary Plat on March 21, 2000, by Resolution No. 2000- 25. The Developer then decided to change the nature of the project by removing the golf course. Since this change made significant differences in the drainage, block distribution, and develop- ment plan, an Amended Preliminary Plat was required. The Town Council considered and ap- proved the Amended Preliminary Plat on May 1, 2001, with one condition. The Final Plat was heard by the Planning Commission on April 25, 2001, and passed with a recommendation for Town Council approval. This Final Plat is the item before you tonight. This Plat reflects changes that were necessitated by applicant agreements with Arizona Portland Cement and the Town. The school site and the park site were previously located on Block 9. The school and park sites will now be adjacent to one another within Block 5. Airline Road no longer hms into Block 1. Instead, access is provided by two driveways off Lambert Lane. The streets and the drainage structures are essentially the same with the exception of Block A, which has been expanded somewhat. The streets are all to be public streets and will be dedicated to the Town. A portion of the plan is located in FEMA flood zone AO. This area may be subject to flooding and all land in this area will be restricted to uses that are compatible with floodplain management as approved by the floodplain administrator. The bulk of this property (652 acres) was rezoned on February 18, 1997, by Town Ordinance No. 97.04 creating the base for this Master Planned Community. The remaining acreage was annexed and rezoned in 1999, (Ordinance Nos. 99.05 and 99.14, respectively) integrating these BL U 040406 Saguaro Springs Final Plat. doc FJC:KK 4/1/2004 8.'43 AM parcels into the overall project. As a condition of rezoning, the project may not exceed a maxi- mum of 2,509 residences. (See General Note No. 15) This property lies within zoning districts R-6 (single family residential, minimum lot size 6,000 sq. fi.), MH (Manufactured Housing), R-36 (single family residential, minimum lot size 36,000 sq. fi.), and C (Large Lot Zone). The site is currently vacant farmland. Plans for the property include single family residences, a recreation site, and an elementary school site within Block 5. The drainage system has been widened and will implement a pedes- trian pathway that goes through the entire community. An agreement to allow drainage to pass under the Arizona Portland Cement conveyer has been completed. The trail system has been re- designed so bicycles and pedestrians can go underneath the major roads without having to cross them. There are 5 to 6 miles of trails that the developer will build and give to the community. In addition, the retention/detention was moved on-site and softball and soccer fields will be con- structed within the detention sites. Although Block 1 is zoned MH (Manufactured Housing), the Developer has committed to build single-family site-built housing on that block. RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff recommends approval of the Saguaro Springs Final Plat with the following condi- tions: 1. A Data Recovery Plan acceptable to the Arizona State Museum shall be in place prior to approval of any grading of identified archaeological sites. 2. In conjunction with the first preliminary plat, a comprehensive design guideline docu- ment shall be submitted for review and approval by the Town. SUGGESTED MOTION I move to approve Resolution No. 2004-15 with the recommended conditions.

B. 7 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney Resolution No. 2004-43: Relating to Roads; Approving and Au- thorizing the Mayor to Execute an Intergovernmental Agreement with Pima County for Design and Construction of Improvements to Cortaro Road. DISCUSSION This proposed resolution would approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an intergovernmen- tal agreement (IGA) with Pima County for the design and construction of improvements to Cor- taro Road, widening Cortaro Road to a four-lane divided cross-section from the Union Pacific Railroad Crossing to Camino de Oeste and tapering to the existing two-lane cross-section at Star Grass Drive. Under this IGA, Pima County will pay toward the Town's construction $7,000,000 of the $8,200,000 of County bond funds approved in the November 4, 1997 special election for the improvement of Cortaro Road from the Union Pacific Railroad Crossing to Thomydale Road. The Town's construction of this segment of Cortaro Road is feasible at the estimated cost of $7,000,000 only with the direct participation of the developer of the proposed Willow Ridge pro- iect, which is the subject of a pending rezoning application that was considered and recom- mended for approval (6-1) by the Town of Marana Planning Commission at its regular meeting on March 31, 2004. Because of this, Resolution No. 2004-43 authorizes the Mayor to execute this IGA only after the effective date of the Willow Ridge rezoning. If for any reason the Willow Ridge rezoning is not approved or does not become effective, the Mayor will not be authorized to and will not execute the IGA on behalf of the Town. If the Council approves Resolution No. 2004-43, it and the unexecuted IGA will be forwarded to Pima County for consideration and approval. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2004-43, approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute an IGA with Pima County for the design and construction of improvements to Cortaro Road. SUGGESTED MOTION move to approve Resolution No. 2004-43.

DeGrood, P. E., Assistant to the Town Manger for Special Projects Presentation on Preliminary Infrastructure Requirements for Northern Marana DISCUSSION A preliminary analysis of the infrastructure improvements that will be necessary to support the anticipated residential, commercial, and employment growth in Northern Marana has been conducted. This analysis is primarily focused on the transportation and parks needs for the area, but will be expanded to include the cost of general government, drainage, potable and non- )otable water supplies/systems and schools. This presentation is intended to update the Council on preliminary results of the study and to take input on future direction and/or areas of study refinement that are desired by Council. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that further refinement of the infrastructure needs study, and an expansion of the scope of the study occur, to be followed with the preparation of a development impact fee ordinance that will ensure that development equitably bears the cost of the new infrastructure demanded in the area. Staff further recommends that the findings and recommendations of the study be presented for comment at a council workshop. SUGGESTED MOTION I move we direct staff to continue with the infrastructure needs study, expand the scope of the study, and schedule a Council workshop to discuss the study findings.

Phase I of the Town's Conservation Planning process was concluded in May 2003. The result of this first phase was a list of species recommended by the Technical Biology Team for consideration as part of a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). An overview of the Phase I process was presented at the July 15, 2003, Town Council meeting. Phase II of the HCP planning process, which began in September 2003, consists of two elements: (1) evaluating the impacts of urban development and the Town's capital improvement projects on each of the target species identified in Phase I and (2) developing strategies for mitigating these impacts in a manner that meets the requirements of the Endangered Species Act. This presentation will review the tasks completed to date during Phase II and confirm the timetable for the remainder of Phase II including the expected date for a working dratt of the Town's HCP.
