AGENDA ITEM: IX. A. 3
TO:
Mayor and Council
FROM: Jane Howell, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Discussion and Direction: Request for a parks superintendent, one additional laborer to act as a
trades helper for facilities maintenance
DISCUSSION:
The following positions were not included in the recently approved budget but are requested as an
out-of-cycle allocation.
Parks within the Town are a priority reflected in various commih~ents to CIP and park improvement
projects. These commitments require overview of development and construction of the projects,
including insgection and budget oversight. Staff exl~cts to recruit a c andid~te with a Bachelor's
Degree in Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning or a related field who has considerable knowledge
of principles and practices of municipal park issues and progressively resp~sible experience in
supervising and directing parks improvement projects. The parks superintendent would perform
these duties under the direction of Ron Smith, Parks and Recreation Director and also be responsible
for developing operational policies and procedures, including on-going preventive maintenance for
park facilities, athletic fields and trails.
The current facilities maintenance technician, George Pesina, Sr., does internal trades-related repairs
and maintenance as well as remodeling and construction for all Town facilities. Currently, George
receives operational support in the form of inmates who are assigned to him but the Town continues
to increase its needs for remodeling, painting, etc. A maintenance worker dedicated t o facilities
maintenance will expand the ability of George to respond to facilities maintenance work orders.
Estimated fiscal impact of the two requests would be as follows:
Parks Superintendent: $52,570 minimum + $15,771 benefits + $3,000 work station -- $71,341
Facilities Maintenance Worker: $22,509 rain + $6,753 benefits + $500 uniforms, etc. -- $29,762
Total estimated fiscal impact for the two requests: $101,103
RECOIVIlVIENDATION
Staff recommends authorization to hire a parks superintendent and facilities maintenance worker,
with an estimated fiscal impact of $I01,103.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I move to approve the hiring of a parks superintendent and a facilities maintenance worker.

This project was presented to the Planning Commission on July 30, 2003. The Planning
Commission is forwarding this preliminary plat to the Town Council with a unanimous
recommendation of approval.
Gladden Farms Block 6 is located within the Gladden Farms development and is located
directly south of Moore Road and east of the new Lon Adams Road, within Section 34,
Township 11 South, Range 11 East.
This Preliminary Plat consists of 112 single-family detached home lots on 24.71 acres.
Included in this subdivision are Lots 1 through 112 and Common Areas "A" through "C".
This project is zoned R-6, which requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. The
average lot size is 6,270 square feet with typical lot dimensions of 55'xl 10'.
This project will contain both single and two-story homes. The subdivision is limited to
30% or four (4) two-story homes along Lon Adams Road, per the Northwest Marana Area
Plan. Additionally, general note #38 restricts the overall number of two-story homes to a
maximum of 50% of the total number of homes and no more than two (2) consecutive two-

the R-6 zone.
The Northwest Marana Area Plan requires a minimum separation between structures of 15
feet. General note #39 has been added to this plat that requires any homes in excess of 25
feet to have a mandatory 20 feet separation between houses. Additionally, general note
numbers 40, 41, 42 and 43 address the Town Council concerns that were expressed with

Resolution No. 2003-99: Plma Farms Village Pr~llmi..ey Plat: A request for approval of a
preliminary block plat consisting of four blocks on approximately 156 acres located at the
northeast corner of Pima Farms Road and N. Scenic Drive, in a portion of Section 29,
Township 12 South, Range 12 East.
DISCUSSION:
The Pima Farms Specific Plan was adopted by the Town of Merana January 19, 1989. This
project is a portion of that Specific Plan that was not developed on the Continental Reserve
Block Plat.
This application was considered by the Marana Planning Commission at its regular meeting
of August 20, 2003, and a recommendation for approval with conditions, was passed
unanimously.
This project consists of approximately 156.5 acres located at the northeast comer of Pima
Farms Road and North Scenic Drive, in a portion of Section 29, Township 12 South, Range
12 East. This project proposes to create four blocks for future development or
conservation.
Specific Plan:
This property i s t he portion o f t he P ima F arms Specific P lan that was previously in the
designated Critical Habitat for the Cactus Fermginous Pygmy Owl. As such, it was not
included in the Continental Reserve Platting project. The Developer has subsequently
consulted with U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and proposes to comply with their recommendations.
This project will be subject to the requirements of the Pima Farms Specific Plan. Within
that Specific Plan special buffers are required for the west and south property lines. The
Specific Plan calls for a 100-foot area of undisturbed vegetation buffer to be maintained
along Scenic Drive, and a 50-fuot undisturbed buffer along the remaining perimeter of the
site along the south property line. In addition, there is a Development Overlay Zone that
requires a maximum building height, increased open space requirement, and other
requirements that will be included in the CC&R's. The maximum density per acre allowed
is 3 to 6 residences per acre, as designated in the Pima Farms Specific Plan.
Transportation:
The Preliminary Plat shows two ingress/egress locations offofPima Farms Road. In
addition, there will be a connection to Twin Peaks Highland, the subdivision to the north,
giving residents a northern route to Silverbell Road. The developer will be responsible for
improving Pima Farms Road from a point just west of Sand Done Place (to which point it
has already been improved by Continental Reserve) to Pima Farms Village's westernmost
access street (called access "A" in the Traffic Impact Study). The roadway improvements
should match the cross-section for the improvements already made on Pima Farms Road.
The Marana Traffic Division has approved this plat.
Trails and Trailhead:
Block 2 of this Block Plat will remain ondeveloped with the exception of the construction
of a Trailhead for the public trails that access the Saguaro National Park West. The final
design for the Trailhead facility has not been decided yet, as the developer is engaged in on-
going discussions with the neighbors to the south to accommodate their concerns as much
as possible.
There will be a public trail that extends down thc west side of the most westerly wash, that
will connect with Pima Farms Road, and a trail on the west property line of Continental
Reserve. This will be a continuous trail system to the Saguaro National Park West. The
trail plan has not been completed at this time, so more trails may be proposed at a later date.
Grant of Easement:
A Grant of Easement has been agreed to by the owner/developer and Lazy K Bar Guest
Ranch (LKB) for the exclusive use oftbe equestrian trail or trails within Block 4. This
easement allows unlimited use for the owners, guests, patrons, agents, employees and
permittees of LKB for the trails and the land just adjacent to the trails. A Conservation
Easement, managed by a third party, will cover most of Block 4. A pedestrian trail, outside
the Conservation Easement, will be built down the west side of the wash adjacent to Block
4. This trail will be used by the homeowners of Pima Farms Village, as well as the Public.
Lands within the fenced conservation easement area will not be accessible to the public or
the homeowners in Pima Farms Village.
Archaeology:
An archaeological report from Old Pueblo Archaeology Center identified two
archaeological sites on the property that would require surveying and mapping. Their plan
has been accepted by Arizona State Museum, and the work is onderway at this time.
