permanent part of this record. He said that membership had increased, that
tourism signs along 1-10 had been re-installed which had subsequently doubled
the number of visitors to the Chamber office. He noted that the Chamber Board of
Directors' annual retreat had been held on July 30~ at the Lazy K Bar Ranch and
that two goals had been set. He said that one goal was to increase the Chamber's
financial resources and the other was to increase the value of the Chamber
membership to the businesses. Mr. Stolmaker stated that both of the goals were
attainable for 2004-2005. He thanked the Council for their support and commented
that the organization was moving in the right direction. He reminded the Council
of an upcoming joint ribbon cutting ceremony with the Northern Pima County
Chamber of Commerce and the Marana Chamber of Commerce. He said it was

B. COUNCIL ACTION
Presentation: Reconstruction of the Eastbound on-ramp at Cortaro Road
and 1-10 (Harvey Gill)
Mr. DeGrood spoke before the Council regarding this item. He said that
ADOT was in the bidding process for an 1-10 widening project that would
add another lane between the Cortaro Road interchange and the Tangerine
Road interchange. He provided several aerial view maps depicting the
existing conditions at the Cortaro Road and 1-10 eastbound on-ramp as well
as a map showing the proposed widening and the proposed enhanced
striping and marking. Mr. DeGrood spoke in depth about the roadway
improvements and said that Town staff would be meeting with the
contractor to try to get the proposed work accelerated so it would not be
ongoing at the same time that the Silverbell Road work was ongoing.
Council Member Comerford asked if there was a possibility for the
widening of Cortaro Road under the 1-10 bridge.
Mr. DeGrood replied that this was a very expensive proposition and that
ADOT had been working with the Town for programming that project 5 to
6 years in the future. He said that once the receiving lanes on Cortaro Farms
Road were built then it would be particularly noticeable that a widening
under 1-10 would be beneficial. He said that the eastside interchange signal
was being reconfigured and programmed for a split-phase that provided
more traffic capacity.
Vice Mayor Kai asked if the Town was participating financially in the
project.
Mr. DeGrood said that Marana was contributing approximately $200,000 to
the project. He noted that the Town had a history of financial contributions
to ADOT roadway improvements beginning with work performed at
Arizona Pavilions and including the double lane off-ramp at Cortaro Road
where the Town did the dirt work and ADOT did the paving.
Council Member Escobedo asked about the timeframe, particularly the
starting and completion dates.
Mr. DeGrood replied that the entire project from Tangerine Road to Cortaro
Road was an 18-month project which was broken into five phases. He
pointed out that the Cortaro Road eastbound on-ramp project was
scheduled for Phase 2 but that Town staff was seeking to accelerate it into
Phase 1.
Council Member Escobedo asked about work he noticed being done on 1-10
at the Avra Valley overpass and at the Tangerine overpass.
Mr. DeGrood responded by saying that there had been several instances
when oversized vehicles struck the overpass and that large portions of the
concrete had been damaged. He said that these areas were being repaired
and structurally reinforced.
Council Member Honea asked if the Tangerine/I-10 interchange was
included in the expansion project.
Mr. DeGrood said that he believed that ADOT planned to widen 1-10 up to
Tangerine Road where there would be a lane coming off of Tangerine and a
lane going onto Tangerine.
Council Member Honea said that he was interested in the engineering for
the Tangerine Loop as there would be a need for major modification to the
clover-leaf interchange. He asked if the State's work would be compatible
with what the Town had planned.
Mr. DeGrood answered that he believed it would be compatible.
Mr. Reuwsaat asked when work on the additional lanes at the bridges
would begin.
Mr. DeGrood said that a lot of work would be taking place but that he did
not know exact dates at this time. He said that he would report back to the
Council as soon as he received more information and that the Town would
be represented at the pre-construction meetings.
There was no more discussion regarding this item.
Resolution No. 2004-103: Relating to intergovernmental relations;
approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute an intergovernmental
agreement with Pima County and the Pima County Library District for
the Continental Ranch Library (Frank Cassidy)
Mr. Cassidy presented this item to the Council. He said that the agreement
stated that the Town would be involved with the design phase of the
library but that, after that point, the County would run the project as a
County project.
Council Member Comerford remarked on the 15 to 30 month starting
timeframe contained with the agreement.
Mr. Cassidy responded by saying that the time&ames were taken directly
out of the text of the County's bond ordinance.
Mr. Reuwsaat commented that there would be an alternate bid on an
additional 10,000 sq. ft. of shelf space if it could be afforded.
Upon motion by Council Member Escobedo, seconded by Council Member
Comerford, Resolution No. 2004-103 was unanimously approved.
PUBLIC HEARING. Resolution No. 2004-114: Relating to Subdivisions;
Approving a Preliminary Plat for Continental Reserve Block 17 (Kevin
Kish)
Vice Mayor Kai opened and closed the public hearing. No speakers came
forward.
Mr. Kish presented this item before the Council and gave a brief overview
of the proposed project. He said that it was a 123-Iot single-family
subdivision on 34.23 acres and that it was located west of Wade Road and
north of Pima Reserve Drive. He noted that staff recommended approval of
the preliminary plat.
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member
Blake, Resolution No. 2004-114 was unanimously approved.

Resolution No. 2004-116: Relating to Elections; approving an
Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Marana and Pima
County Division of Elections for the provision of election services for the
period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005.
Ms. Bronson spoke before the Council regarding this item. She said that the
IGA was a standard agreement and only contained updates from previous
Pima County IGAs dealing with election services.
Upon motion by Council Member McGorray, seconded by Council Member
Honea, Resolution No. 2004-116 was unanimously approved.
Resolution No. 2004-119: Relating to Personnel; approving and
authorizing the execution of changes to the loan provisions of the ICMA-
RC 401(a) Defined Contribution plan and the 457 Deferred
Compensation savings plan.
Ms. Howell presented this item before the Council. She explained that there
were two retirement options for the Town employees, one being a defined
contribution plan and the other being a deferred compensation savings
plan. She said that loans were currently available to employees from the
defined contribution plan 401(a) and that this resolution proposed to have
that option removed from the retirement monies to loan availability only
from the voluntary 457 deferred compensation savings plan.
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member
Blake, Resolution No. 2004-119 was unanimously approved.
C. MAYOR AND COUNCIL'S REPORT
Council Member Honea reported that Council Member McGorray and he had
visited the Picture Rocks area to tour the new Marana Health Center's facility
in that neighborhood. He said that it was very nice and quite spacious at 4,200
sq. ft. with 11 offices. He urged everyone to stop by the facility at Rudasill and
Sanders Roads just west of Sandario Road.
D. MANAGERS' REPORT
Mr. Reuwsaat reported that Michael Racy's wife, Michael Lang, was in labor
and that their first child was well on its way. He announced that Mr. Racy had
also recently taken l0th place in the world standings in Aerobatics.

XI.
He continued by reporting that the City of Benson's Mayor, George Scott, and
Town Manager, Boyd Kraemer, had recently contacted him regarding how the
Town of Marana had dealt with its rapid growth. Mr. Reuwsaat commented
that he had accepted an invitation to attend a series of study sessions dealing
with such topics as transportation sales taxes and impact fees. He said that he
would take along staff from the development team to offer suggestions from
Marana's own growing experiences.
He continued his report by announcing that Council Member Blake would
continue representing the Town at the League of Arizona Cities and Towns
monthly meetings and would serve on the Resolutions Committee. He
reminded everyone that there was a community meeting scheduled for
Thursday, August 5th, to hear neighborhood discussion regarding the
proposed mural for the Honea Heights water tank. He said that the meeting
was to be held at St. Christopher's Catholic Church. He went on to say that he
had received an email message from Pima County Supervisor Sharon Bronson,
regarding a proposed consolidated regional economic development
mechanism. He predicted that Michael Hein, Assistant County Administrator,
would be working on this project as it was his speciality. He said that the
details had not been completed and that only a blue ribbon committee had
been assembled to study a more consolidated and efficient method to attract
industry to this region.

Traffic Engineering Division Report
Cortaro Farms Road-Camino de Oests Traffic Signal
Operations Study
The Cortaro Farms Rcad-Camino de Oeste intersection,
which is signalized, falls within an area recenfiy annexed by
the Town. Therefore, at the behest of the Traffic Engineering
Division, a traffic signal operations study was performed by
Kim]ey-Horn and Associates. The purpose of the study was
to determine how to best improve the safety and efficiency of
the signal operations at this location. Our staff is working
closely with the Operations and Maintenance Department's
staff to implement the signing and timings recommended by
Kimley-Horn.
Cortaro Road Traffic Signal Coordination Study
In order to improve the traffic flow on Cortaro Road between
Silverbell Road and 1-10, a study has been conducted to de-
termine how the progression of traffic between those two
points can be enhanced. Kimley-Horn and Associates, in con-
junction with ADOT, have reviewed the need to modify the
signal phasing and timings at the Cortare Road/I-10 Frontage
Roads Intersections. They will also be looking at the need to
improve the coordination between the signals at Silverbell
Road, Arizona Pavillions Drive, and at the 1-10 intersections.
Now that the study has been completed, the installation of the
new signal timings will be coordinated with ADOT. It is ex-
pected that the new signal timings will result in a smoother
and safer traffic flow along this heavily traveled section of
Cortaro Road.
Traffic Signal at SIIverbell Road-Wade Road
Intersection
A traffic signal study conducted at the Silverbeli Road-Wade
Road intersection found that the installation of a traffic signal
is warranted at that location. It is expected that the signal will
be designed during this fiscal year and will be constructed
next fiscal year. The signalization should make this a much
safer intersection for motorists exiting Wade Road, pedestri-
ans crossing Silverbell Road as well as emergency vehicles
entering the intersection from the Northwest Fire/Rescue Dis-
trict's station on Wade Road. Our staff is currently reviewing
the 100% signal plans.
Grant Proposal for Accident Database
The Traffic Engineering Division has prepared a grant pro-
posal to the Governor's Office of Highway Safety to request
funding for the development of a traffic accident computer
database. The purpose of the accident database is to provide
a tool with whiah our staff will be able to retrieve the accident
information needed to effectively conduct traffic engineering
studies. At this time our staff has to spend much time review-
ing large numbers of individual accident reports in order to
perform their studies. With the database, we will be able to
quickly retrieve accident data according to date, time-of-day,
location, type of accident, weather, severity of accident and
other pertinent information that will greatly enhance our ability
to analyze accident causes and recommend corrective meas-
ures. The sooner we can complete our studies, the sooner
that traffic safety improvements can be implemented.
Safe Routes to School Prooram
The Traffic Division has initiated a Safe Routes to School
Program. The program's goal is to develop educational, engi-
neering and enforcement tools with which to help provide
safe trips for elementary and middle school students on their
way to and from school. The program will develop a docu-
mented process so that those immediately involved with the
program (traffic engineering staff, police, school administra-
tion staff, teachers and parents) all understand the proce-
dures and their respective roles in the process. Twin Peaks
Elementary School has been chosen as a piJot school for the
program. Regularly scheduled meetings of the Safe Routes
to School Committee ara being held to develop a safe routes
plan and an educational campaign for the school, The Com-
mittee included the school's principal, the school's Police
Resource Officer, the Marana Unified School District Director
of Operations and Monica Moxley of our staff.
Traffic Sional at Tanoorine Road-
Dove Mountain Boulevard Intersection
The Town is working together with a Dove Mountain
developer to have a traffic signal installed at the Tangerine
Road-Dove Mountain Boulevard intersection. At this time, the
developer's signal designer is working on the 75% plans. It is
expected that the signal design will be completed within the
next 60 days and that the traffic signal will be installed some-
time during the Fiscal Year 2004-2005.

Environmental Plannintl Projects
Tres Rios del Notre
This project is a cooperative effort between the City of
Tucson Water Department, Pima County Flood Control
District and the Town of Marana in conjunction with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers. This purpose of
this study is to evaluate approximately an eighteen mile
stretch of the Santa Cruz River from Prince Road to Sand-
ere Road for projects such as habitat restoration, water
supply, flood control and recreation.
Status: The Town of Marana has prepared a comment
letter to the Army Corps of Engineem on the 50% Draft F4
Document. These comments will be submitted for inclu-
sion into the F5 Document. The F4 conference is sched-
uled for November 18, 2003 in Phoenix.
Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area
The vision of a National Heritage Area designation for the
Santa Cruz Valley in southern Arizona is gaining momen-
tum due to a convergence of local efforts to conserve
natural resources and open spaces; to preserve historic
structures and amhaeological sites; to educate the public
about the history and cultures of this region; to increase
national recognition of the region; to develop heritage
tourism and bring other economic benefits to local com-
munities; and to improve cultoral ties across the U.S.-
Mexico border.
Status: The Town of Marana showed support of the ap-
plication and designation of the Santa Cruz Valley Heri-
tage Area by passing Resolution No. 2003-133 at the
Town Council Meeting on October 21, 2003.
Arizona Pollution Dischame Elimination System
This project was initiated by a federal mandate in which Ari-
zona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) was given
primacy. Six minimum contr~.l measures have been defined
for compliance. The minimum control measures are as fol-
lows:
1. Public Education and Outreach
2. Public Involvement and Participation
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
5. Control of Post-construction Site Runoff
6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
Status: The Town of Marana has actively been working with
PAG to get public involvement on a regional level. PAG is
working with local jurisdiction on the development of an Out-
reach Connection web site. This site is being developed to
enable water educators in the Tucson region to share infor-
mation about their oub'each and education efforts. Pima As-
sociabon of Governments (PAG) and the University of Ari-
zona's Sustainability of semi-Add Hydrology and Riparian
Areas (SAHRA) are working jointly on this effort. SAHRA has
agreed to develop the web site, to host it on their site, and to
provide technical support for the site. Each of the participants
will update their Jnformatlon on a regular basis, so that the
website stays current and useable. PAG would coordinate the
website users so that the site is maintained and so that new
users are informed about the site. This website will focus on
water resources and water quality outreach and education.
The topic for the next Stormwater Working Group Meeting
will be to develop a plan for regional outreach and deciding
what activities to pursue. The funds from PAG's Federal
Highways Administration that may be used for this purpose
must be spent before the end of June.
Procedures are beginning to be development for resident
concerns, comments and requests for information. '
A scope of work has been developed for the mapping of the
storm sewer system. Once the Town has an As-Needed Civil
on board this scope of work will be given to the company for
implementation.

AGENDA ITEM:
Kevin Kish, Interim Planning Director
Resolution No.2004-126: Relating to subdivisions; approving a
Final Plat for The Preserve II at Dove Mountain.
DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting approval of a 123-1ot single-family subdivision on 98.76 acres, in a
portion of The Preserve at Dove Mountain Preliminary Plat. The project is located east of Dove
Mountain Boulevard and north of Tangerine Road. The plat consists of Lots 183 through 305,
and Common Areas "A", "B", and "D". Common Area "A" is 4.80 acres of Private Streets.
Common Area "B" is 71.96 acres of Open Space, and Common Area "D" is 0.19 acres of Park.
The details of the park development will be reviewed on a separate landscape plan.
This property is zoned Low Density Residential (LDR) per the Dove Mountain Specific Plan.
The proposed density is 1.25 RAC, which is consistent with the requirements for LDR within the
Specific Plan. The maximum lot size is 13,291 square feet on lot number 293, and the minimum
lot size is 6,000 square feet on various lots. Actual average lot size of this project is 7,555 square
feet.
Ingress and egress to the project will be achieved by two entrances off of Dove Mountain
Boulevard. One entrance is a continuous street (Fallen Shadows Drive) that transverses The
Preserve I and continues into Preserve II. Interior cimulation is accomplished by a loop road and
three cul-de-sacs. New Reflection Drive, Gentle Rain Drive and Fallen Shadows Drive afford

SUBJECT:
Resolution No. 2004-129: Relating to the Marana Regional
Airport; authorizing and appointing the Airport Director as the
official representative of the Town of Marana to file all paperwork
and execute all Federal and State Aviation Grants.
DISCUSSION
In order for a grant to be executed the Federal Aviation Administration and the Arizona
Depamnent of Transportation Aeronautics Division require that a resolution be duly adopted or
passed authorizing an official representative of the Town to file and accept the grant application
and grant agreement. By authorizing and appointing the Airport Director as this individual he
will be able to accept grants that need to be executed in an urgent manner because the FAA has
to "reassign" funds from another airport that did not execute their grant. This will allow the
Town to be more competitive and increase the chances of Federal and State grant funding.

Staff recommends Council approval of this resolution authorizing and appointing the Airport
Director as the official representative of the Town of Marana to file all paperwork and execute
all Federal and State Aviation Grants.

dorsing and authorizing annexation of any and all territory lo-
cated within the Town limits of Marana, Arizona, as they may be
amended from time to time; and declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
Marana Resolution No. 98-23 authorized the Northwest Fire District to annex all areas within the
1998 boundaries of the Town of Marana. Northwest Fire District currently has on its August 24,
2004 agenda the proposed annexation of a portion of Saguaro Ranch which was not located
within the Town limits &the Town of Marana as it existed when Marana Resolution No. 98-23
was adopted.
A.R.S. § 48-262(F) allows the Northwest Fire District to approve a Northwest Fire District
boundary change impact statement and authorize the circulation of District annexation petitions
for areas located within the Town limits only if the Town has by ordinance or resolution en-
dorsed and authorized the annexation.
Proposed Resolution No. 2004-133 would endorse and authorize Northwest Fire District's an-
nexation of any and all territory in the Town limits of the Town of Marana as it currently exists
and as it may be amended in the future.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council grant a blanket authorization for Northwest Fire Dis-
trict to annex all areas within the Town limits of the Town of Marana as it may be amended, by
adopting proposed Resolution No. 2004-133.

RELATING TO NORTHWEST FIRE DISTRICT; ENDORSING AND AUTHORIZING
ANNEXATION OF ANY AND ALL TERRITORY LOCATED WITHIN THE TOWN LIMITS OF
MARANA, ARIZONA, AS THEY MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME; AND
DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
WHEREAS, Northwest Fire District has plans to pursue various annexations of property
located within the Town limits of the Town of Marana; and
WHEREAS, the Town adopted Marana Resolution No. 98-23 on March 3, 1998, authorizing
all Northwest Fire District annexations within the Town limits as it then existed; and

District annexations of property located within the Town limits of the Town of Marana as it currently
exists and as it is amended fi.om time to time; and
WHEREAS, fire protection is lacking in the areas of the Town of Marana that are not within
the boundaries of Northwest Fire District, and it is in the best interests of the citizens of the Town of
Marana that fire protection be made available.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, that all annexations proposed by Northwest Fire District of
property located within the Town limits of the Town of Marana as it currently exists and as it may be
amended from time to time are hereby endorsed and authorized pursuant to A.R.S. § 48-262(F).

Resolution No. 2004-118: Relating to real estate; approving and
authorizing the execution of a communications site lease agree-
ment with Nextel Communications for the non-exclusive use of the
Marana Municipal Complex communication tower.
DISCUSSION
The Town's Information Technology Department has been negotiating with Nextel Communica-
tions for the lease by Nextel of tower space on the new eighty-five-foot communication tower
being constructed to replace the tower immediately adjacent to the current town hall on the Mu-
nicipal Complex campus.
The proposed Nextel lease which is presented for Mayor and Council approval is a thirty-year
non-exclusive lease (five years, with five successive five-year lease extensions) for $1,500 per
month, with 15% upward adjustments each five years. Nextel originally offered $800 per month
based on the relatively low existing population and residential density in the area that will be
served by the site. Other existing tower lease rates of which Town staff is aware include a
$2,400 per month payment by Verizon for a site on Beacon Hill (a prime site located at a high
elevation) and approximately $2,400 per month being paid by Cricket and Sprint at the Marana
Operations Center (a lease negotiated with the previous owner of the tower, and now acquired by
the Town). Because the Marana Municipal Complex campus site does not have the surrounding
density and geographic superiority of either the Beacon Hill site or the Marana Operations Cen-
ter site, Town staff believes that the negotiated rate of $1,500 per month is an appropriate middle
ground for the Nextel lease.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 2004-118, approving and authorizing the exe-
cution of the non-exclusive lease with Nextel Communications for the use of the communication
tower at the Marana Municipal Complex campus.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2004-118.

Resolution No. 2004-125: Relating to real estate; authorizing the
acquisition by negotiation or condemnation of right-of-way for the
extension of Marana Main Street north of Grier Road; and declar-
ing an emergency.
DISCUSSION
Construction of Marana Main Street is currently underway from the intersection of new Civic
Center Drive, adjacent to the new Marana Municipal Complex, to Grier Road. Town staff is cur-
rently finalizing an alignment of Marana Main Street from Ca/er Road to Sandario Road. The
segment of this new Marana Main Street right-of-way located immediately north of Grier Road
is located on property that is currently in litigation between the Hum and Gee families on one
side and an entity called Barrios de Marana I, L.L.C., owned by Rodrigo Diaz-Brown and Jack
Neubeck, on the other. The case is Barrios de Marana I, L.L.C.v. Hum, Pima County Superior
Court No. C20024018, and involves an attempt by Barrios de Marana to enforce a contract to
purchase the property from the Hum group. The case went to a four-day jury trial and concluded
on June 22, 2004, with a jury verdict in favor of Barrios de Marana. The Court entered judgment
in the case on July 30, 2004. According to the attorney for the Hum group, they plan to file an
Iappeal.
If the appeal is filed by the Hum group, the Town will likely need to file a condemnation case in
order to get possession of the property so that Marana Main Street north of Grief can be con-
strutted. Town staff will do its best to negotiate the acquisition of the fight-of-way or at the very
least the right to enter the property by getting an agreement from both sides involved in the liti-
gation. However, Town staff feels that it would be prudent to get authority from Mayor and
Council to file a condemnation case for acquisition of the Marana Main Street right-of-way if an
agreement cannot be reached.
Proposed Resolution No. 2004-125 would authorize Town staff to acquire the Marana Main
Street right-of-way by negotiation or condemnation, so that the Town can get prompt possession
of the right-of-way as necessary to construct Marana Main Street from Grier Road to Sandario
Road.

RELATING TO REAL ESTATE; AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION BY NEGOTIATION
OR CONDEMNATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR THE EXTENSION OF MARANA MAIN
STREET NORTH OF GRLER ROAD; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the Town of Marana to acquire fight-of-way for Marana
Main Street from Grier Road to Sandario Road (the "Needed Property"); and
WHEREAS, fee title to the Needed Property is the subject of currently pending litigation
between the Gee and Hum families on one side and Barrios de Marana I, L.L.C., on the other in
the case Barrios de Marana I, L.L.C.v. Hum, Pima County Superior Court No. C20024018 (the
"Barrios de Marana litigation"); and
WHEREAS, judgment was entered in the Barrios de Marana litigation on July 30, 2004,
giving judgment in favor of Barrios de Marana; and
WHEREAS, the filing of an appeal in the Barrios de Marana litigation would make
reaching a prompt negotiated acquisition of the property extremely complicated and problematic.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Council of the Town of
Marana, Arizona, authorizing and directing the Town's staff and attorney to enter into
negotiations and if such negotiations fail, to bring an action under the power of eminent domain
to acquire the Needed Property for its fair market value as determined based on an independent
fee appraisal or based on a determination of just compensation by the Court or jury.
IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that it is necessary for the preservation of the peace,
health, and safety of the Town of Marana that this resolution become immediately effective;
therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this resolution shall be effective

Resolution No. 2004-134: Relating to land development; approv-
ing and authorizing the Mayor to execute a development agree-
ment with Monterey Homes Construction, Inc., and Stewart Title
and Trust, Trust 3240, relating to a 154-acre development located
within the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area; and declaring an
emergency.
DISCUSSION
Monterey Homes is proposing to develop a mixed residential and commercial development on a
154-acre parcel of land located about a half mile west of the new Marana Municipal Complex
and adjacent to the proposed Barnett Linear Park. The development, which will be referred to in
tiffs communication as the "Monterey Homes 154 development", is proposed to consist of seven
blocks, four of which are currently planned for medium density residential uses and three of
which are proposed for future commercial uses which may be converted to residential through
adopted Town procedures. Monterey Homes 154 is bisected by two major roads: the new Tan-
gerine Farms Road runs north and south and the new Clark Farms Boulevard hms east and west
through approximately the middle of the development. The new Barnett Linear Park and drain-
ageway extends onto the northern portion of the Monterey Homes 154 development.
The proposed Monterey Homes 154 development agreement would permit the developer to de-
velop Blocks 1, 2, and 4 of the Monterey Homes 154 development into 6,000 square foot mini-
mum lot sized single family detached homes and would allow the development of Block 3 into
4,500 square foot minimum lot sized single family detached homes. These densities are pro-
posed based on the Monterey Homes 154 development's proximity to the Town core and in rec-
ognition of the significant open space provided as part of the Monterey Homes 154 development.
In Blocks 1, 2, and 4, the proposed development agreement would require a minimum distance
of ten feet between single family detached homes of up to 25 feet in height and 20 feet between
single family detached homes over 25 feet in height. Within Block 3, the development agree-
ment allows for a minimum distance of ten feet between single family detached homes and does
not place a limitation on the construction of two-story homes of up to 25 feet in height.
The proposed Monterey Homes 154 development agreement requires the developer to dedicate a
250 foot right-of-way for Tangerine Farms Road and requires the developer to construct the
segment of Tangerine Farms Road fi.om Moore Road to Barnett Road, including the roadway
itself, a 100 foot landscaped buffer, trail, and drainage facilities. Tangerine Farms Road is antici-
pated to be constructed in two phases, as necessary to serve adjacent blocks. The first phase,
from Moore Road to Clark Farms Boulevard, is required to be completed before the 100th build-
ing permit is issued, and the balance is required prior to the release of posted subdivision assur-
ances.
The developer is also required to dedicate a 90-foot right-of-way for Clark Farms Boulevard, and
to construct the segment of Clark Farms Boulevard located within the development in two
phases. The first phase, fi'om Sandario Road to Tangerine Farms Road, is required to be con-
stmcted before the issuance of the 100th building permit, and the balance of the road is required
to be constructed before issuance of the 400th building permit.
In addition, the developer is required to dedicate up to an additional 95 feet of right-of-way for
Moore Road, including the construction of turn bays and tapers as necessary for the Monterey
Homes 154 development.
The Monterey Homes 154 development agreement also requires the developer to relocate the
CMID canal, if required by separate agreement with CMID, and to excavate the Barnett Linear
Park on and immediately adjacent to the Monterey Homes 154 development.
The developer is required to install both potable and non-potable water delivery systems to each
individual lot within the Monterey Homes 154 development.
The Monterey Homes 154 development agreement also requires the developer to construct a se-
ries of neighborhood parks sufficient to provide 185 square feet ofonsite park improvements for
every residence, but allows these parks to be located in the Barnett Linear Park or within excess
right-of-way for Tangerine Farms Road, Clark Farms Boulevard, or Moore Road adjacent to the
block being served by the park.
Because of the high percentage of land required to be dedicated by the developer for regional
roadway and linear park improvements, the development agreement requires no additional finan-
cial contribution for off-site parks and regional roadway improvements, and allows a credit
against future regional roadway impact fees up to a value of 50% of the developer's cost to con-
stmct Tangerine Farms Road.
The proposed Monterey Homes 154 development agreement also addresses various other issues
that can be discussed in further detail at the request of the Council, including an eight-year pe-
riod of protected development rights during which the regulations that apply to the property can-
not be modified without the developer's consent.

2. Infrastructure Improvements.
2.1. Regional Public Infi'astructure. The public infrastructure
described in Section 2 of this Agreement will be provided by Developer in order to
serve the planned development of the Property, but will also facilitate and support the
ultimate development of the larger land area that includes the Property (the
"Regional Public Infrastructure"). The Town acknowledges that portions of the
Regional Public Infrastructure will be provided as part of the early phases of
development of the Property, prior to the time when such public infrastructure
facilities and services would otherwise be required to serve completed phases of the
development within the Property and, therefore, prior to the time Developer might
otherwise be required to provide or contribute to the cost of same and prior to the
time the expense of such public infrastructure facilities and services othenvise would
be justified by the phasing of development of the Property. Developer is willing to

will provide water service to the Property. Developer and the Town are currently
negotiating a "Water Service Agreement," which sets forth the varions agreements
of the Parties relating to, among other things, the development, construction,
dedication, ownership, and design of the water system which shall serve the Property,

Service Agreement shall be entered into prior to recordation of the Final Plat for the
Property. The Town will act on the Water Service Agreement as soon as reasonably
possible.
2.2.1. Non-Potable Water. Developer shall construct and install a
non-potable water delivery system to individual lots on the Property. The Town shall
not require the installation of individual non-potable water meters for each lot.

may be required to install additional non-potable water meters for those areas
designated as "common areas" on the Preliminary Plat.
2.2.2. Transfer of Grandfathered Water Rights. The Owner shall
transfer to the Town, as prescribed by the Arizona Department of Water Resources,

to the Town on the appropriate Department of Water Resources form. In exchange,
the Town shall provide designation of assured water supply and water service to the
4
Property. The Parties shall determine if the transfer of such IGR Type I or Type II
water rights is required and further identify and describe the nature of the rights to be
transferred as part of the preparation of the Water Service Agreement.

100% of Tangerine Farms Road as provided in Section 2.3.1 which shall become part
of the Town's Regional Public Infrastructure as defined in this Agreement and shall
provide a beneficial use to the Town beyond that provided to the future residents of

6
137139.12
approximately 50% of Tangerine Farms Road is reasonably related to and intended to
offset the burden that the development of the Property imposes on the Town. The
Parties further acknowledge that Developer's ennstruction of the remaining
approximately 50% of Tangerine Farms Road exceeds the improvements reasonably
related to the burden that the development of the Property imposes on the Town.
Accordingly, notwithstanding any T own requirements t o the contrary, t he value o f
Developer's construction and dedication of the remaining approximately 50% of
Tangerine Farms Road, as provided in Section 2.3.1, shall be deemed to be a
contribution made by Developer toward the capital costs of necessary public services

accept dedication of such improvements and assume all maintenance, repair and
replacement obligations for such improvements, except for any areas that may be

2.4. Recreation Improvements. It is Developer's intention, which the
Town acknowledges and relies upon, to incorporate significant open space,
recreational and drainage improvements, including (i) neighborhood pocket parks
located and constructed at Developer's discretion on the Property, (ii) the Tangerine
Buffer Improvements, and (iii) landscaping in, on and around the Barnett Road
Channel, and a regional trail located within the Barnett Road Channel as described
herein (the "Barnett Linear Park") that shall be incorporated into the Town's
regional park system. The neighborhood pocket parks, the Tangerine Buffer
Improvements, the Barnett Road Channel landscaping and the Barnett Road Linear
Park shall be referred to collectively as the "Recreation Improvements." The
Recreation Improvements s hall b e reviewed and approved b y t he T own P arks and
Recreation Director and Development Services Administrator in consultation with

construct a series of neighborhood pocket parks to provide 185 square feet of on-site
park improvements for every residence which neighborhood pocket parks shall be
completed prior to the release of the assurances posted to assure completion of the
improvements set forth on the final plat for each development Block as depicted
generally on the Concept Plan. At Developer's option, subject to Town approval,
certain neighborhood pocket parks may be located in the Barnett Road Channel or
within other excess right-of-way for Tangerine Farms Road, Clark Farms Boulevard
or Moore Road and immediately adjacent to the development Block to which it shall
provide recreational uses. The neighborhood pocket parks shall be dedicated to the
Town only if they are located in the Barnett Road Channel or within other excess
7
137139.12
right-of-way for Tangerine Farms Road, Clark Farms Boulevard or Moore Road, in
which case Developer agrees to dedicate such neighborhood pocket parks but agrees
to retain ail maintenance, repair and replacement [and insurance?] obligations for
such neighborhood pocket parks.
2.4.2. Off-Site Recreation Improvements. The Tangerine Buffer
Improvements (as described herein) and the Barnett Linear Park and Barnett Road
Channel landscaping (collectively the "Off-Site Recreation Improvements")
comprise approximately 12.7 acres. Developer's construction and dedication of the
Off-Site Recreation Improvements and the real property on which they are located is
deemed to satisfy certain Town dedication and enntribution requirements as further
discussed below.
2.4.2.1. Barnett Linear Park. The Barnett Linear Park consists
of approximately 6.9 acres and will include landscaping and trail improvements, a
cross-section depiction of which is attached as Exhibit "C". These improvements
shall be constructed concurrently with the development of any Block of the Property
adjacent to the Barnett Linear Park and shall be completed prior to the release of the
assurances posted to assure completion of the improvements set forth on the finai plat
for each development Block as depicted generally on the Concept Plan. Upon
construction and dedication by Developer of the Barnett Linear Park and its
improvements as provided in this Section 2.4.2.1, the Town shall accept dedication of
the Barnett Linear Park and its improvements and assume all maintenance, repair and
replacement obligations, except for any areas that may be used for drainage from the
Property.
2.4.2.2. Dedication. The Town has established the following
formula to determine the amount of land to be developed and dedicated for the
purpose of off-site park or recreation improvements: six (6) acres of developable
park land per 1000 residents at 2.67 people per residence. Because Developer intends
to develop approximately 600 residences on the Property, Developer is required to
develop and dedicate 9.6 acres of developable park land. Developer's agreement to
develop and dedicate a total of 12.7 acres of developable park land shall be deemed to
satisfy the Town's dedication requirement as described in this Section 2.4.3.2. The
Town further acknowledges that Developer is providing an excess of 3.1 acres of
developable park land.
2.4.2.3. Contributions. The Town has also established a
requirement that a developer shall make a contribution or shall provide park and trail
system improvements with a totai vaiue equivalent to $1,000 for every residence
developed. The Off-Site Recreation Improvements shall have a vaiue of
approximately $532,000.00 Additionaily, the additional 3.1 acres of developable
park land that Developer intends to develop and dedicate to the Town has a vaiue of
approximately $172,000.00. Accordingly, Developer shall be deemed to satisfy the
Town's enntribution requirement as described in this Section 2.4.3.
8
2.4.3. Future Improvement Obligations. The construction (and
dedication where applicable) of the Recreation Improvements located both on-site
and off-site pursuant to this Section 2.4 is reasonably related to and intended to offset
the burden that the development of the Property imposes on the Town. To the extent
that the value of the Recreation Improvements, including dedicated real property and
the physical improvements constructed thereon, exceeds the Town's current on-site
and off-site recreation, open space or park improvement requirements, contributions,
impact fees or assessments, the Town shall grant to Developer a credit against any
and all future on-site and off-site recreation, open space or park improvement
requirements, contributions impact fees or assessments that may be adopted by the
Town to be imposed or assessed upon the Property and all the subdivisions within the
Property consistent with A.R.S. § 9-463.05.
2.5. Retention/Detention Requirements. The construction and
dedication of the Off-Site Recreation Improvements as described in this Agreement
shall satisfy all retention requirements for the residential portion of the Property,
except for approximately 28.5 acres of additional retention area required as shown on
the Concept Plan. Upon the Town's completion of the Barnett Linear Park channel
outside the Property and providing positive drainage into the Santa Cruz River,
retention requirements will not be imposed on the Property.
2.6. Santa Cruz River Levee Assessment. Prior to the issuance of a
building permit and pursuant to Marana Ordinance No. 99-02, Developer shall pay to
the Town an assessment of $500 an acre for the 154 acres of the Property totaling
approximately $77,000, as Developer's fair share contribution to the construction
costs associated with the lower Santa Cruz River Levee.
2.7. Fire Protection. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy
for any dwelling unit, Developer shall complete the process of having the Property
annexed into a fire district if the Property is not already so annexed. The fire district
must be capable of providing fire prevention, fire suppression and other emergency
services, and must be approved by the Town, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
3. Cooperation and Alternative Dispute Resolution.
3.1. Appointment of Representatives. To further the commitment of
the Parties to cooperate in the progress of the Development, the Town, the Owner and
the Developer each s hall designate a nd appoint a representative t o a ct a s a 1 iaison
between the Town and its various departments and the Owner and/or the Developer.
The initial representative for the Town (the "Town Representative") shall be the
Planning Director, the initial representative of the Owner shall be Greg Wexler and
the initial representative for the Developer shall be Lisa S. Hoskin or a substitute
representative to be selected by the Developer. The representatives shall be available
at all reasonable times to discuss and review the performance of the Parties to this
Agreement and the development of the Property.
9
137139.12
3.2. Timing. The Town acknowledges the necessity for prompt
review by the Town of all plans and other materials (the "Submitted Materials")
submitted by Developer and/or the Owner to the Town hereunder or pursuant to any
zoning procedure, permit procedure, or other governmental procedure pertaining to
the development of the Property and agrees to use its best efforts to accomplish such
prompt review of the Submitted Materials whenever possible.
3.3. Default; Remedies. If any party hereto defaults (the "Defaulting
Party") with respect to any of such party's obligations hereunder, then any other
patty hereto (the "Non-Defaulting Party") shall be entitled to give written notice in
the manner prescribed in Section 6.1 to the Defaulting Party, which notice shall state
the nature of the default claimed and make demand that such default be corrected.
The Defaulting Party shall then have (i) twenty (20) days from the date of such notice
within which to correct such default if it can reasonably be corrected by the payment
of money, or (ii) sixty (60) days from the date of such notice to cure such default if
action other than the payment of money is reasonably required, or if any such non-
monetary default cannot reasonably be cured within sixty (60) days, then such longer
period as may be reasonably required, provided and so long as such cure is promptly
commenced within such period and thereafter diligently prosecuted to completion. If
any such default is not cured within the applicable time period(s) set forth above in
this Section 3.3, then the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to begin the
mediation and arbitration proceedings set forth in Sections 3.4 and 3.5. The Parties
hereto agree that due to the size, nature and scope of the development, and due to the
fact that it may not be practical or possible to restore the Prupetty to the condition
which existed prior to Developer's development and improvement work, once
implementation of this Agreement has begun, money damages and remedies at law
will likely be inadequate and that specific performance will likely be appropriate for
the enforcement of this Agreement. This Section 3.3 shall not limit any other rights,
remedies, or causes of action that either party may have at law or in equity.
3.4. Mediation. If there is a dispute under this Agreement which the
Parties cannot resolve between themselves, the Parties agree that there shall be a
forty-five day moratorium on arbitration during which time the Parties agree to
attempt to settle the dispute by nonbinding mediation before commencement of
arbitration. The mediation shall be held under the commemial mediation rules of the
American Arbitration Association. The matter in dispute shall be submitted to a
mediator mutually selected by the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree upon the
selection of a mediator within seven days, then within three days thereafter the Parties
shall request the presiding judge of the Superior Court in and for the County of Pima,
State of Arizona, to appoint an independent mediator. The mediator selected shall
have at least five years' experience in mediating or arbitrating disputes relating to real
estate development. The cost of any such mediation shall be divided equally between
the Parties. The results of the mediation shall be nonbinding on the Paxties, and any
Party shall be free to initiate arbitration after the moratorium.
3.5. Arbitration. After mediation pursuant to Section 3.4, any
dispute, controversy, claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to this
10
Agreement shall be settled by submission of the matter by the Parties to binding
arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association and
the Arizona Uniform Arbitration Act, A.R.S. § 12-501 et seq., and judgraent upon the
award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in a court having jurisdiction.
[DOES THIS MEAN NO LAWSUIT IS PERMITTED? commence an action at law
or in equity in the Pima County Superior Court]
4. Protected Development Rights.
4.1. Purpose. Developer has made a substantial commitment of
resources for public and private improvements such as but not limited to the water
system, Recreation Improvements and transportation improvements. One of the
purposes of this Agreement is to establish legally protected rights for the
development of the Property in a manner which is consistent with the Development
Parameters and this Agreement in order to ensure reasonable certainty, stability and
fairness to the Developer and the Town over the t*sm of this Agreement. Toward this
end, Developer, the Owner and the Town agree that the zoning designations and land
use provisions established by the Rancho Marana Specific Plan and the Development
Parameters, including but not limited to the permitted uses, density and intensity of
uses, and maximum height and size of buildings, shall remain in effect and shall not
be changed without the agreement of the Owner and Developer for eight (8) years
following the Effective Date of this Agreement.
4.2. Future Impact Fees. In consideration for the transportation
improvements described in Section 2.3 and the recreation improvements described in
Section 2.4 and funded and/or constructed by Developer pursuant to this Agreement,
in the event that the Town adopts an impact fee for the same infrastructure for which
Developer has contributed land and/or made improvements and/or paid a voluntary
fee pursuant to this Agreement, Developer shall be entitled to a credit for such
contributions as set forth in A.R.S. § 9-463.05.
5. Notices and Filings.
5.1. Manner of Serving. All notices, filings, consents, approvals and

permission shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
6.22. Force Maieure. If any party hereto shall be unable to observe or
perform any covenant or condition herein by reason of "force majeure," then the
failure to observe or perform such covenant or condition shall not constitute a default
hereunder so long as such party shall use its best effort to remedy with all reasonable
dispatch the event or condition causing such inability and such event or condition can

MAYOR AND COUNCIL
Frank Cassidy
AGENDA ITEM:
Authorization to settle the condemnation case, Town of Marana,
Continental Ranch Community Association, Pima County Supe-
rior Court No. C20035689.
DISCUSSION
The Town filed a condemnation case on October 10, 2003, to acquire two common areas located
adjacent to the Santa Cruz River for the construction of the Santa Cruz River Shared-Use Path
and associated landscaping and other amenities. The Town commissioned an appraisal report by
Baker, Peterson, Baker & Assoc., who appraised the property the Town is taking at $86,900.
The Town Attorney's Office believes the appraisal approach was flawed, for reasons explained
in the Executive Session item which accompanies the Council's consideration of this settlement.
Nevertheless, for the reasons discussed in Executive Session, the Town Attorney's Office be-
lieves that the Continental Ranch Community Association's offer to settle this case for $81,900
should be accepted.
If the settlement proposal is not accepted, immediate steps will need to be taken to set this case
for trial and to proceed with this litigation.
RECOMMENDATION
Town staff recommends that this condemnation case be settled for $81,900.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to authorize the Town Attorney to accept the Continental Ranch Community Associa-
tion's offer to settle the condemnation case entitled Town of Marana v. Continental Ranch
Community Association for $81,900.
