MEETING DATE: September 18, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: E. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Presentation by applicant for proposed rezoning and minor
General Plan amendment for La Vista Bonita.
DISCUSSION
This presentation will provide a brief overview of a proposed Rezoning and Minor Amendment
to the General Plan that is scheduled as a public hearing item for the October 2, 2007 Mayor and
Town Council meeting. The subject property consists of two parcels totaling approximately
25.46 acres generally located on the south side of Moore Road and west of the Oldfather Road
alignment. The applicant's request was considered by the Planning Commission at a public
hearing on May 30, 2007. The Commission voted to recommend approval; however, the motion
failed by a vote of 2-4, with Commissioners Hestwood and Wostenberg voting to approve.
The applicants, Joseph and Tina Banks, propose a change of zoning of the subject property from
R-144 to R-36 to allow for the development of a 15 lot residential subdivision. The applicants
are proposing a minimum lot size of .995 acres (43,351 square feet). Additionally, the applicant
is proposing a minor amendment to the General Plan to amend the property's current designation
of Rural Density Residential (0-0.5 DU/AC) to Low Density Residential (0.6-3.0 DU/AC) in
order to accommodate the proposed density of 0.58 Dwelling Units per Acre. Since the public
hearing before the Planning Commission, the applicant has redesigned the project and reduced
the number of lots from 16 to 15. The proposed size of the lots adjacent to the single-family
residential to the south has been increased to a minimum of 1.92 acres (83,635 square feet). A
minimum of seventy (70) percent of Natural Undisturbed Open Space (NUOS) is proposed with
this development. Right-of-way dedications will occur along both Moore Road and Oldfather
Road.

1. PCZ-06138 - Chip Shot Rezoning - A request to rezone approximately
25 acres of land from "R-144" (Single Family Residential, 144,000 square
foot minimum lot size) to "R-36" (Single Family Residential 36,000
square foot minimum lot size) for the purpose of developing a 16-lot
subdivision. The property is located south of Moore Road and west of
Old Father Road.
Tim Botton came forward to address the Commission. The site is bounded to the
north by Butterfly Mountain subdivision, to the west by Sonoran Preserve on the
Bajada, to the south by vacant and custom home un-subdivided property and to the

east by Tortolita Vista Specific Plan.
The General Plan future Development Plan designates the property as "rural density
. residential". This designation allows single family detached homes on very large
properties including ranchette and estate lots with a maximum density of 0.5 dwelling
units per acre.
The proposed 16 lots on 23.82 acres equal an approximate density of .67 dwelling
units per acre. Therefore, the increased density' requires a Minor General Plan
Amendment to change the current "RDR" designation to "LDR" (Low Density
Residential) with a target density of 0.6 to 3.0 dwelling units per acre. Based upon the
amendment procedures outlined in the General Plan a one step increase in density
such as i.e. RDR to LDR may be processed as a Minor General Plan Amendment.
Further, the Minor General Plan Amendment request may be processed concurrently
with a rezoning request and approved at public hearing.
Moore Road is on the Town of Marana major rights-of-way plan with an ultimate total
right-of-way width of 150 feet. The project will be dedicating a total of 45 feet of half
right-of-way along the northern boundary of the property for the future improvements
to Moore Road. In addition, the project will be dedicating 30 feet of right-of-way along
the eastern boundary for future improvements to Old Father Road.
The tentative development plan proposes a single point of access which will be gated
by way of Moore Road containing a 36 foot private street section. As per the
Subdivision Street Standards Manual, a 46 foot right-of-way width is required for this
project; therefore, a design exception as listed on tonight's agenda is required for this.
As a note, Northwest Fire signed off on this design exception as a conditional approval
provided the on-street parking is restricted throughout the subdivision.
The project will set aside 70% natural undisturbed open space (NUOS) and 30%
disturbance. The 30% disturbed area will be distributed equally among the 16 lots and
will be monitored throughout the platting process and the permitting process. A native
plant permit shall be submitted during the platting process for the entire project and not
on an individual lot basis.
The owners and their representatives held neighborhood meetings located at Ironwood
Ridge High School on March 20, 2007 and April 9, 2007. In response to resident
concerns from the twa meetings the owners reduced the lot count from the original 19
lots to what is proposed tonight 16 lots, reduced building heights from two stories to
single story (25 foot maximum) and redesigned the lot layout in order to increase
buffering and view sheds for adjacent properties.
Staff has reviewed the request against the requirements of the Marana Land

Development Code and the General Plan. Therefore, Staff is recommending approval
of Case No. PCZ-06138 La Vista Bonita rezoning, subject to staff-recommended
conditions.
Commissioner Winger asked in this packet that you provided I gather from here that
all of the structures have to be one story. Is that correct?
Tim Bolton answered that is correct.
Commissioner Winger responded because in this packet it states on page 41C that
only the perimeter lots have to be one story.
Tim Bolton responded that could be a grammatical change, but it is that the entire
subdivision will be limited to single story structures with a maximum height of 25 feet.
We can update that prior to forwarding it to Town CounciL
Commissioner Winger stated it is on page 41 C and states that the perimeter lots
shall be limited to one story or 25 feet in height. .
Tim Bolton responded that it will be taken care of.
Kevin Kish stated also within the Staff Report we have a condition referencing the
single story/25 foot element as a requirement recommended as part of this approval
on condition number 9. The principal and accessory buildings shall not exceed one-
story or 25 feet in height.
Commissioner Wostenberg asked along those same lines I am also looking at page
24 under Design Exception Report. On the exception that we will be voting on fater it
talks about the new draft standard about 20 foot pavement width, but on page 24 of
the book it talks of a 28 foot pavement width as being a request for the design
exception.
Tim Bolton answered that is correct changes were made prior to the meeting so the
updates were not included. What is shown on the design exception is what is
proposed and we can make those updates as well if we just make note of the page.
Commissioner Wostenberg asked along the same lines the adjacent subdivision
Sonoran Preserve on the Bajada, we had discussed at the Planning and Zoning before
and they had the smaller pavement width at I believe 24 foot and they were also
required to have additional onsite parking for non-garage parking and two garage
parking. I do not see anything in this report about parking requirements. What are
they?
Tim Bolton answered as far as the design exception is concerned it was conditionally

MARANA. PLANNING COMMISSTON

approved by Northwest Fire. Parking will be restricted for on-street parking. Being
that they are relatively large custom home lots, we could make the provision to
compensate for the lack of on-street parking.
Commissioner Wostenberg responded that the Sonoran Preserve on the Bajada
even though it was R-8 zoning they were done as R-36 for septic tie-ins as well. I
believe for consistency throughout the Town we should be looking at similar parking
requirements.
Kevin Kish stated I believe the Commission added the condition on the Sonoran
Preserve on the Bajada because of that concern as well for that standard. If
Commission chooses it can add that condition tonight- onto this as well.
Mike Steele from Tierra Planning Services came forward to address the Commission.
As Tim outlined for you we are proposing what for you is probably a fairly small project
of 16 lots. The lots range from 1 to slightly under 2 acres. It is proposed to be a
private road development with a single gated entrance off of Moore Road. There will
be no connection to the adjoining neighborhoods.
The project also as Tim mentioned is a mandatory set aside of the 70% of that site for
permanent natural areas.
We do want to take a second to thank the Staff. We have been working on this for a
while. We have worked with several different departments and also with some of the
neighbors. We believe that today the design on this project has improved from where
we started several months ago.
We also think that because of the way it is designed that it is compatible with the
neighborhoods to the east and west along the Moore Road Corridor in regards to
density, value and design.
I will point out that before we started design on this site we spent a fair amount of time
on field investigations on this property. We looked at the archeology on the site, native
plants, and washes and designed the site specifically to try to minimize impact on
these issues. For example we did find as a result of the archeology studies that there
are Native American sites on this property. We designed the road systems to avoid
these. o
As Tim mentioned we had two different neighborhood meetings on this property. At
the first meeting there were quite a few things discussed and as a result of that first
meeting the owner asked the design team to redesign the site. The major design
changes are we did voluntarily agree to limit the height of all the structures to one story
or 25 feet. We increased some of the lot sizes by decreasing the tofal lot count. We
originally proposed 19 lots for the site and we decreased it to 16 lots. We also moved

the road system and cul-de-sacs further north closer to Moore Road away from the
homes to the south of us and some of the farger lots were put on the south side of the
site because there are existing homes just to the south and that was a concern.
The redesign that we worked on as a result of the second meeting is reflected in the
documents that you looked at this evening.
We have reviewed the Staff Report and the recommendations and concur with them.
We have no objections to any of the conditions proposed by Staff on this case.
Commissioner Schisler stated that he would Iike to commend you on listening to the
neighbors and making the changes. I noticed on your plans that there are not any
ironwood trees. Are there going to be any?
Mike Steele answered I cannot tell you off hand from the surveys that we did whether
there are any. I don't recall having those listed as major plants on the site.
Commissioner Schisler responded I did not see any on them. I was wondering if
they faded out closer to Tangerine. There are neighbors in the area that are
concerned about the ironwood trees.
Mike Steele stated if we have them, we will protect them.
Commissioner Schisler asked has Tucson Water responded to your assurance to
water availability.
Mike Steele stated we do have a letter from Tucson Water that is good for one year.
Commissioner Schisler asked on the drainage it looks like there is not a whole Iot
being done. Is Staff satisfied with the layout and drainage?
Aaron Suko answered yes sir. There are some fairly significant washes going
through the site and they have done the lot layout to account for those. There will be
minimum impact upon the buildings. Of course we will further refine this during the
development and the improvement plan review process.
Commissioner Wostenberg asked the applicant has stated that they accept the Staff
Conditions, what about potential for the parking conditions.
Mike Steele answered if somebody could give us specifics about it and what is being
proposed we would be happy to respond to that.
Commissioner Wostenberg stated on the adjacent parcel to the west we had
required them to have the two-covered parking and four non-covered parking which

will be on site because the street did not allow for any parking on the street. We want
to account for any guests or gatherings.
Mike Steele responded what has been being proposed on this site are custom home
designs and our assumption is that there will be fairly large garages to begin with. In
our initial conversation we did not see any problem accommodating the four car count.
Vice-Chairman Post opened the hearing to the public.
Bill Kazaros came forward to address the commission. The reason I am here is
because I want to speak against the proposed rezoning. 1 have property that is just
south of the proposed rezoning area. I did go to a couple of those meetings that the
applicant had for the neighbors to comment, but it was pretty much this is what we are
going to do and we are not interested in what you have to say. It was very much this
is just to let you know what we are going to do. The big problem I have is that the
subject property is not in conformance with the homes south of there. That is where I
have a home site. My concern is that when that project is built, it is not going to be as
it is being proposed tonight. It was mentioned having parking space for four cars for a
substantial home. You have a big house, the roads coming in, septic tank, leach field
- and only 30% of that parcel is going to be disturbed. It is impossible. I think that those
involved with those types of plans know that it is not possible because 1 have
consulted with builders and they have told me it is impossible. What they will do is
actually go above the 30%. I am very concerned that this builder is not one that we
have a track record of. These are going to be 16 homes built on a property that should
be 30% disturbance but it is going to go to 40%. My concern is that by giving this
applicant an approval on the rezoning it will result in the taking from me and my
property because it will diminish the value of my property. I am not opposed to the
property being developed, but I don't think that this is a realistic application. I think
that the applicant realizes that. 1 am thinking that the Commission should send it back
for reconsideration.
Cathy Cross came forward to address the Commission. Our property is located
immediately south of the southwest corner of the Chip Shot (La Vista Bonita)
Development. I feel strongly that the land we are discussing should remain R-144
zoning with the following being my primary issues:
As already outlined by Mr. Banks and his company a 1 acre lo~ development sits
immediately to the east and one to the west of this parcel. It is for this very reason that
I feel it is critical that this section not become a repeat of the same. This area serves
as a natural corridor to wildlife passing in and out of the Tortolita Mountains. My
neighbors and I have seen some coyotes, javelina, deer, tortoises and other creatures
traveling through our land as they forage and move around the area. Cobblestone
streets, one acre lots and gated entries may sound attractive to new home buyers, but
they are unwelcome barriers to our desert animals.

MINUTES
REGULAR MEET~G OF THE
MARAN~ PLANNING COMMISSION
' May 30, ZU07
Marana`Town Hall
My second concern relates to the water flow that wiil be aitered by homes built to the
north of us. Currentty Mr. Banks has located 5 homes on the western end of this
parcel in the area of a wash that crosses our land. With each house pad, driveway,
and each culvert that is put into place the monsoonal run-off will increase as it reaches
our property. With the R-144 designation it is reasonable to assume that only 2 homes
could be placed at this end which would provide greater assurance that our wash
would retain a more natural flow.
My final comment begins with a bit of history. My husband and I began our search to
purchase land for our home a number of years ago and after a great deal of research
and a number of conversations with Marana Staff we selected the piece on Majestic
Saguaro and we completed the construction of our home this last October. We knew
of the Sears Development that would border our property on the west and we knew of
the Cottonwood piece further to our east and accepted those higher densities. We
also knew that the land north of us would be developed, but at the same R-144 density
as all other properties around us. I am sure that Mr. Banks knew this was the zoning
when he purchased this property. We are here tonight because he chose to gamble
that he could get a higher density zoning for this land in order to increase his
investment. That gamble was his to make but is inconceivable to me that he is also
able to gamble with my family's investment and our dreams and with that of our
neighbors. It should not be acceptable for one person to so seriously alter the
landscape that impacts so many others just simply because he wants to.
Roger Whitney came forward to address the Commission. Back in the early 1980's
my wife and 1 lived on the east side of town and being military we were transferred
away but always new we would return to this area. In 2003 we began to look for
property. We looked in other surrounding areas and finally decided on our current
location. Our dream and decision to buy our land and home was based on the strong
deed restrictions of the property of more than 3 acre lots south of the property in
question. The desire to be away from traffic and noisy neighbors we experienced in
northern Virginia was the primary reason we bought our property and the home we
truly enjoy. We and our neighbors have even gone through the process of naming our
little dirt road to West Majestic Saguaro Lane. We presently own close to 4 acres that
our home is on as well as another 5 acres adjacent to our home with the explicit
purpose of preventing anyone from interrupting our views, privacy and peacefulness.
We could have chosen another site but specifically invested in this pristine location for
the openness not only for us but also for the wildlife that roams freely and which are
becoming very scarce due to rezoning and building near our neighborhood. The
property to the west of us on Moore Road and Camino De Oeste is being developed
into a parade of homes which will be a definite enhancement to our neighborhood and
to the Town of Marana. We were aware of this subdivision when we bought our
property. The homes are being built by quality builders which most likely will insure
our property values are maintained and perhaps increased. The same can be said of

our property of R-144. Mr. Banks as land owner will sell his property and has no
interest or control over who the builders will be. He is interested in making his money
and moving on. It is not a certainty that there will be a Homeowners Association as he
has discussed to enforce the CC&R's that Mr. Banks has spoken of. Furthermore, he
will have no control of the Homeowners Association or the CC&R's. We as a group
have asked Mr. Banks to sell his lots in conjunction with the current R-144 zoning
which will allow for 8 houses instead of 16 as proposed. He indicated that he would
not even entertain that idea. Please understand that I am opposed to any rezoning to
less than R-144 based on the interruption of the wildlife that continues to exist as well
as the potential devaluation of our property and our neighbors' property, noise
pollution, and senseless disruption and destruction of our beautiful desert. Please
consider the wishes of the neighbors who live there and are here to protest the
rezoning.
Jack Stebe came forward to address the Commission. All the residents, not builders,
not landowners that we have spoken to are opposed to this plan. The Marana General
Plan would need to be changed to give this higher density. land usage. I am really
afraid of .6 all the way up to 3 per acre if something happens to Mr. Banks who is to
prevent that from happening. Terrible precedent for the remainder of the corridor is
really my main concern. Sears was in place before our Deed Restrictions. Our Deed
Restrictions have been in place for almost 25 years. We new what that Mr. Sears was
going to do what he was going to do and that it will be a pretty nice place to be and it is
great for the Town of Marana. The other thing that really concerns all of us is the
numbers don't work. The land that is in Mr. Sears' project, the disturbance is .5 or
50%. Builders there have to get variances to go beyond that to get the septic systems
in. This I know is true because I have talked to a couple of the builders. If you talk to
your inspectors they are going to tell you that they are not able to do it with smaller
houses. Mr. Banks is talking about 4,000 square foot houses and at Sears they are
not quite that large and are still not able to do it on 50%. So the numbers don't work.
So I am saying please help us. Do the right thing. Try to help us to keep it the same.
Please visit the site. Please read in the package the Deed Restrictions that are pretty
restrictive. They are not uniformly enforced, but they are there and are the reason that
a lot of us bought property there. It is because there are restrictions against doing just
this. I talked about the numbers not working and I did not even mention the riparian
because that has already been covered. The other finro plans were in place before we
moved there. The top bullet is .5 of a house per acre versus .6 to 3 houses an acre.
Although it is categorized as a minor change to our Plan and Town, it sure is not a
minor change to those of us living there. We are an R-144 Butterfly Mountain type
acre. That half mile by one mile parcel is currently correct. The key words in the Title
5 manual that is in the Town are for R-144 and R-80 are protecting existing and
proposed rural and low-density in environmentally sensitive areas. You have it right.
R-36, the key words are single-family residential. It is right out of our own book.

REGi1LAR MEETING OF'THE '
MARANA PLANNING COMMISSION
May 30, 2007

Existing residences are currently on big lots. We are sensitive, very sensitive to the
place that we live. We want to have your help in trying to keep it that way. This is
what the road looks like now. It is a crummy old road and we love it that way.
~
Theresa Hess came forward to address the Commission. I would like to briefly
indicate that we are very peaceful people. I can appreciate what he is trying to do for
possibly his family and himself. But, I think the few people that sit on our side of the
room actually represent more land ownership than Mr. Banks. I think that is important
in terms of acre per acre. We have more people present here today to speak for our
small amount and what we are doing to preserve it and keep the value heightened. I
also attended a plan meeting with these gentlemen and there were some questions
posed and there was the inability to answer several of them. We asked to review the
proposed CC&R plans and there was inability to answer what would be on them. It
has been at least a month or two and I have yet to see anything. We have given them
names, addresses and emails. I think it is important to point out that one of the
primary things he indicated was that there would be no connection to the adjoining
neighborhoods. I think that is key, and shows that they want no connection to our
neighborhood. We do want a connection and to be able to preserve it with the current
zoning. Drainage is important. I don't have the education to speak on that. I do know
that in reviewing a couple of the different drainage plans that it does seem to impact
those that live north of ine.
Dan Cross came forward to address the Commission. I am opposed to this rezoning
for many reasons. This gentleman purchased this lot knowing it was zoned R-144 and
now he wants to double the lot yield from 8 to 16 lots. t know of no circumstance
where something is bought and subsequently a demand is made to double the
product. While characterized as a minor change, technically this is a 100% increase in
density. That is not minor. It will have a huge negative impact on the area, neighbors
and certainly the environment. It will be double the homes, cars, & noise. We keep
hearing the emphasis being placed on two nearby developments on acre lots that were
granted years ago. Those nearby developments are actually aberrations and not the
dominant theme in this area. The dominant theme is 3.3 acre and 4 acre lots
evidenced by Butterfly Mountain, Saguaro Ranch and virtually everything south of
these 25 acres. At one point in their document they refer to the south area as
containing lots ranging in size from 0.96 acres. In fact, there are two acre lots which
make up 4 tenths of a percent of the whole south area. We understand from Town
sources that this part of Marana is considered a highly valued show place considering
Saguaro Ranch, Butterfly Mountain and the upcoming Parade of Homes. The area will
have much greater appeal with this parcel maintained at R-144 when it is bracketed by
denser parcels east and west of it. Critter pathways and water shed are also
enhanced by maintaining this at R-144 due to the loss of critical space east and west.
The Land Development Code of the Town of Marana calls for the intent of R-144
zoning to quote "encourage large lot residential subdivisions and to allow for limited
10

Marana Town Hall
residential development in an environmentally sensitive area". This area is perfectly
aligned with this statement. The Planning Commission and the Town Council have a
chance here to forever preserve a pristine and sensitive site. A 100% increase in
density in this area is not acceptable and is an unhealthy choice. When we bought our
property we did our due diligence and we felt Town staff assured us of the solidity of
the adjacent R-144 zoning. It is unfair to change this now.
Mike Steele came forward to address the Commission and respond to the neighbors
concerns. We certainly understand the concerns of the folks in the area, particularly
the areas south of this project. Those are large lot properties and some have been
there for a while.
We obviously do look at this a little differently. In talking about corridors, if you look at
Moore Road right now, the missing piece in that corridor is our piece on the south side
of Moore Road. The densities to the east and west of us along the south side of that
major arterial roadway are basically higher than the density we are proposing. So we
are basically looking at putting in a density that fits right along the south side of Moore
Road and is actually a transition for the traffic and intensity on Moore Road to the
properties to be further to the interior away from the road. You can see this same
pattern to the west of us. You see larger lots along Moore Road and farther south you
start seeing large lot projects. We think it makes sense from a land planning point of
view in terms of adjacency to major arteriats with the tra~c and noise that are
generated by larger arterials.
There were a couple of comments made about disturbance and whether we can or
cannot meet the disturbance. I am sure that the Commission is aware, but for the
record I will say this, if the Commission puts a limit on this it then becomes a condition
on the site that will be transferred to the subdivision and platting process and will also
be transferred to the building permit issuance process. Whatever limits you put on the
site basically stays with this property. Our experience with Marana's staff is that they
are very conscientious about these things. They do follow-up and they will track it.
There is a system in place to do so. We have no objection to it. We have had an
architect look at our designs and plans in terms of custom homes. It is an experienced
~ architect doing custom homes. He is very comfortable with our disturbance levels.
We didn't just make up disturbance levels we did that after looking at actual possible
house designs.
We could not have formed a Homeowners Association because we have no
homeowners. It is a condition for having a Homeowners Association. The owner at
the meeting said at the meeting in a couple of different ways that we will be forming a
Homeowners Association as a part of the process that is expected as part of a custom
home and gated community. They will review all the architecture on the site, proposed
plans for the development and they will be there post construction because they have
to be in place for a number of reasons. Number one for the market and number two

because these natural areas are basically observed and protected through the
Homeowners Association. .
With regard to wildlife movement we are certainly concerned with that too. My
company for example has biologists on staff and we do wildlife assessments and
natural area assessments as well as habitat and vegetated community. My
background is in environmental science so I am sensitive to that. The reality is the big
block to the wildlife movement to this area is already in place and is going to get
worse. Eventually Moore Road is going to be a major arterial. It crosses the
north/south corridors movement for wildlife in this area along the wash lines. That is
going to be the major disturbance for wildlife in this area. Our site plan basically tries
to keep the disturbance out of those washes. If wildlife migrates across those
roadways or under the roadways I don't know what the design for the city is for under
culverts or crossings for wildlife there. Basically it is pretty open movement along
those washes and those heavily vegetated areas on our site. We don't believe are site
would really interFere much with wildlife movement. I think the major disturbances
have already occurred on the north with Moore Road and Majestic Saguaro on the
south side. There have already been roadways cut across those wildlife corridors.
Again with regard to CC&R's we tried to explain a couple of times that we don't have
any. That is typically done at the subdivision platting stage. We would be happy to
provide those to anybody. They are public documents that go in with the plat.
Everyone will review those. We have no objection. We made statements verbally and
in writing to the neighbors about the limitations that we will put in the CC&R's. We will
be happy to send that to anybody that is interested. We don't typically produce
CC&R's at this stage of the project.
With regard to diminution of value or impact on value, our experience is that private
gated communities with custom homes do not diminish the value of surrounding
properties. We believe that properties in this area, from the research that we have
done, typically today are selling in the range of $250 to $300 a foot_ That would put
custom homes of 4,000 feet on our lots in the million dollar range. These are not
starter homes. They will be expensive custom design homes. Our experience is that
these kinds of projects add to the value. They are certainly in the range of the value of
the homes in that area and we don't see any negative impact on the adjoining property
values. Additionally, the way this site is designed was to protect water sheds, to make
this fif into the area nicely, to protect the washes, the front door to Moore Road will be
a very attractive natural setting at the gate. So it is going to be a real value added
project for that area. We hope it would add tremendously to the value of the folks just
to the south of us as it would to the people on both sides of us on Moore Road.
The final comment is the affect of our design on downstream or storm water. Basically
we are not disturbing the washes. There will be very minimal disturbance on our site.
We have to comply with voluminous rules with regard to the storm water control. We
12
MINUTES'

cannot damage people downstream from us with additional storm water flows. Your
Staff will not allow that. The plans that are reviewed will control that kind of thing. We
are not doing mass grading or bulldozing the washes. We are protecting most of the
natural area which helps with ground water, filtration and absorption. We certainly
hope that no one downstream from us would have any problems. We don't believe
there would be any because of the design controls in place and the design of the site.
I believe that the density we are talking about is consistent with the density that you
atready have in place on both sides of Moore Road east and west. Those densities
are not really rural densities. You are looking at something that is not 4 or 5 acre
projects on either side of it.
We do want to fit in the neighborhood. It does need to work from a market point of
view and an appearance point of view. What we are saying is this will fit as it exists
and the General Plan does make sure our projects fit within the existing density and
the design of the communities around us. That is what we are proposing.
Commissioner Winger asked the Staff regarding the properties that are to the east
and to the west, when were they zoned for the higher density? Were they zoned
recently or were they part of the General Plan?
Kevin Kish answered the properties to the west were entitled many years ago. The
projects to the east, Tortolita Vistas, were entitled approximatefy a year and a half to
two years ago and that went through with the Specific Plan. It did go through a
referendum effort and then a modified or revised Specific Plan came forward and the
referendum was withdrawn.
Commissioner Winger asked now are they also on septic?
Kevin Kish answered Tortolita Vistas is going to extend sewer to serve their property.
The one to the west Sonoran Preserve on the Bajada is on septic systems.
Commissioner Hestwood asked regarding the 30% disturbance are there
circumstances where people have to get variances to disturb more than the 30%? Is
that a common phenomenon?
Kevin Kish answered we haue not processed any variances to increase disturbance
area. There have been some projects that have gone back through the process and
that is if they were constraint by an agreement with Fish & Wildlife that has allowed
them to increase. For instance Butterfly Mountain started off 18 under their agreement
with Fish & Wildlife. They actually went back and re-consulted and increased it to the
22% that you see now. We pretty much hold them to that. The concept though is that
it is at 30% overall project so as the project develops it is possible to get to the last few
lots and find that there is not much disturbance left or as in this case as the our

conditions are going to require that during the planning stage they will be assigning the
square foot of the disturbance per lot area. Based on the survey that we will require,
we will make sure that those are being held to.
Vice Chairman Post closed the public hearing.
Kevin Kish mentioned to the Commission just as a reminder the Design Exception is
also a portion of this Agenda Item based on the earlier amendment to tonight's
Agenda.
Vice Chairman Post asked is it part of this motion?
Frank Cassidy stated actually it was not announced as part of this item so your
probably want to vote on it separately. It seems to me that if you turn down the
rezoning you probably don't need the next item.

MEETING DATE: September 18, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: E. 2
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
AGENDA TITLE: Presentation on the DeAnza Specific Plan
DISCUSSION
The DeAnza Specific Plan has been scheduled for a public hearing before the Town Council on
October 2, 2007. The purpose of this presentation is to familiarize the Council with the Specific
Plan prior to that meeting by providing a summary of the project, which has been included in this
packet, as well as a presentation by the applicant's representative.
The DeAnza Specific Plan proposes a change of zoning from "C" (Large Lot) to "F" (DeAnza
Specific Plan) to allow for the development of a 311-1ot single family subdivision on
approximately 133 acres of land. The Plan is separated into two distinct communities. The first
is "DeAnza Estates" a large lot subdivision containing 40 acres located in the northern portion of
the property. DeAnza Estates proposes 14 single family residential lots with a minimum lot size
of 36,000 square feet. The second is "DeAnza", a smaller lot subdivision encompassing the
remaining 93 acres of land. DeAnza proposes up to 297 single family residential lots with a
minimum lot size of 4,500 square and an average of 8,000 square feet. The subdivision design is
a concept referred to as "Coving." The intent of this type of lot layout is to provide openness and
a variation of building setbacks and building separations thus creating large open meandering
greenways along the front yards on individual lots.
Staff as well as the applicant's representatives will be available to answer questions or concerns
the Council may have.

Updated Executive Summary
August 15, 2007
PCZ-05113
Executive Summary
Update 8.1 S. 07
On June 27, 2007, the Town of Marana Planning and Zoning Commission
brought to public hearing the DeAnza Specific Plan (PCZ-05113) for the first time.
DeAnza is a 133-acre master planned neighborhood located in Marana on the west side of
Hartman Lane and north of Cortaro Farms Road. The community is designed with an
innovative planning concept referred to as "coving." The primary benefits of the design
as compared to a traditional, linear, subdivision layout are increased open spaces,
connectivity, traffic safety, pedestrian friendliness, variation and sustainability.
DeAnza was continued during the meeting to August 29, 2007 due to unresolved
planning issues primarily related to the percentage of natural open spaces, height/story
restrictions, hydrology design, traffic and access. Subsequent to the P&Z hearing, Red
Point Development (RPD) conducted additional meetings with Marana planning staff on
July 19 and August 10 to respond to issues discussed during the hearing. In addition,
RPD met with the Cortaro Ranch HOA executive board on July l Oth and with US Fish
and Wildlife (Scott Richardson and Corby Lust in attendance) on July 26th. As a result
of the P&Z public hearing, meetings held with neighbors and USFWS, RPD has made
significant changes to the plan as summarized below.
Issue: Staff recommends that the natural open space areas be increased to SO% of the
project size.
Response: Significant changes have been made to increase the amount of open
space within the project. Natural, Undisturbed Open Space (NUOS) areas increased from
14% (19 acres) to 31.3% (41.6 acres) and total open spaces increased from 29% (38 acres)
to 44.1% (58.7 acres). The attached Exhibit A summarizes the open spaces within the
project and highlights the fact that the project exceeds the NUOS areas of recent,
comparable projects in the area (Willow Springs and Hartman 10). In response to
Marana staff and USFWS recommendations, an approximately 2.9 acre "node" of natural
open space has been carved out in the middle of the project to accommodate riparian
areas and further facilitate wildlife movement (the modification also improved the overall
interceptor channel design from an aesthetic perspective). Although the estimated overall
lot count has reduced by 20 to accommodate the additional natural areas, the coving
concept of the project has remained intact.
Issue: Height/Story restrictions on Estate lots and "coved " lots bordering Cortaro Ranch
residents.
Response: RPD has agreed to place a one-story restriction on all homes to be
built within the DeAnza Estates portion of the project. Furthermore, RPD has agreed to
place a one-story restriction on any lot in the project that directly borders an existing
residential subdivision property line; primarily Cortaro Ranch to the south.
Issue: The proposed DeAnza interceptor channel design negatively irnpacts
environmental compatibility and visual appeal. Two questions were asked in review of
the interceptor channel. (1) Are there any alternatives to a fully lined soil cement channel?
(2) Is there an alternate configuration that better prornotes wildlife connectivity with less
impacts to the natural surroundings?
Response: RPD has held several meetings with engineers (CMG Drainage,
Presidio Engineering) and environmental consultants (Westland Resource) to further
discuss drainage options. Due to the high flow volumes coming into the project from the
east and north, significant stabilization measures must be made. The alternatives that
were discussed, but rejected, are summarized as follows:
A natural bottom solution: Rejected because regardless of the configuration or
location of the wash, a natural solution does not contain the 100 year flood event
or alleviate head-cutting and erosion. As the property stands in a natural state,
engineers believe conditions are unstable for the Cortaro Ranch subdivision.
Regardless of development density for DeAnza, the southern portion of the
property requires the protection of a stabilized drainage channel. The channel
provides protection for Cortaro Ranch and future erosion of the DeAnza property
and Hardy Wash.
Use ofRip Rap for entire channel instead ofsoil cement: Rejected because the
size of boulders for the channel bottom needed to handle and "slow" the flow
rates would be unreasonably large and would not be compatible with the surround
natural environment. In addition, this alternative would not eliminate the need for
grouted rip rap and/or soil cement from the channel sides. From an engineering
perspective, this is not a sustainable solution due to the high flow volumes.
Use of intermittent concrete dissipaters to allow for some natural bottom sections
within the channel: Rejected because the number of the concrete dissipaters
would be so frequent that any natural bottom sections would be few. The overall
look of numerous concrete dissipaters within the channel would not be preferable
to a soil cement solution.
Narrowed channel to increase natural open spaces: Rejected because channel
would need to be entirely concrete with vertical sides and would not be conducive
to allowing wildlife movement. As suggested by Scott Richardson of USFWS, a
1:1 sloped channel would not allow for wildlife movement where the proposed
4:1 soil cement slope would be used by wildlife. This channel is the least
aesthetically pleasing alternative due to its manufactured design.
Proposed Alternative: RPD has redesigned the interceptor channel to allow for increased
natural open spaces and provide for wildlife movement as shown in the attached Exhibit
B. This alternative moves the channel south, directly adjoining to the rears of the coved
lots. This modification increases natural open space along the northern boundary by
providing an approximately 31' wide natural buffer to any properties to the north. In
addition, a 2.9 acre pocket of natural open space was taken out of the coved lots at
approximately the middle of the channel as suggested by Marana staff and USFWS to
preserve more riparian areas and facilitate wildlife movemet. This also improves the
visual appeal of the channel by breaking up its linear look. A 4:1 slope on the north edge
of the interceptor channel allows for wildlife movement within the channel bottom and
access to adjacent NUOS areas.
Issue: Increased traffic along Hartman Lane is a concern of existing residences. What
improvements will be made by the developer?
Response: The developer agrees that all entrances for the DeAnza project will
have turning improvements to Hartman Lane. This includes right and left turn lane lanes.
Issue: Will the DeAnza project provide permanent access to neighboring properties to
the noYth at the west end of the project (those presently served by Joplin Ln.) and west of
the DeAnza Estate lots?
Response: RPD has agreed to provide permanent right of way along the existing
Joplin Lane easement at west end of project. Furthermore, the DeAnza Estates roadway
has been redesigned to allow access for residents west of the property. Hartman 10
residences have voiced concerns of safety and dust pollution regarding the existing dirt
road easement on their projects southern boundary. The redesign of the DeAnza Estates
will provide permanent, all-weather access to residents beyond the southwest corner of
Hartman 10.
Conclusion
The current DeAnza Specific plan represents over two years of planning efforts
between RPD, the Town of Marana, neighbors, HOA's, governmental agencies and
public interest groups. This latest revision of the project represents the optimal balance
of all community needs while maintaining an innovative, coved, approach to land
planning. The concerns discussed during the June 27th P&Z hearing regarding NUOS,
traffic, hydrology, height/story restrictions and access have been addressed. NUOS has
increased from 14% (19 acres) to 31.3% (41.6 acres), total open spaces increased from
29% (38 acres) to 44.1% (58.7 acres), permanent access has been agreed upon for various
neighbors, one story limitations have been placed, additional turn lanes for the project
have been proposed, and the overall lot count has decreased.

MEETING DATE: September 18, 2007
AGENDA ITEM: I, 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Jocelyn C. Bronson, Town Clerk
AGENDA TITLE: Resolution No. 2007-153: Relating to Liquor Licenses; approval
and recommendation to the State Liquor Board for a location
transfer license for a No. 09 (Liquor Store) liquor license
submitted by Ronald Michael Parucki on behalf of Fry's
Marketplace #689, located at 12100 N. Thornydale Road
DISCUSSION
Ronald Michael Parucki, on behalf of Fry's Marketplace #689, is applying for a location transfer
license for a No. 09 (Liquor Store) liquor license for premises located at 12100 N. Thornydale
Road.
The State Department of Liquor Licenses & Control has completed a background investigation
and has forwarded two copies of an application for a spirituous liquor license in accordance with
the State of Arizona Guide to Arizona Liquor Laws. One copy of the application has been posted
on the front of the proposed licensed premises for 20 days prior to this meeting.
The Council, as the appropriate governing board, must hold a meeting and either approve,
disapprove or offer a"no-recommendation" decision on the application. This action must take
place within 60 days of the filing of the application.
If the application is approved at the appropriate government level, and no written protests have
been received by the Town, and if there is no objection by the Director, the application will be
approved. This process normally takes 90 days after the filing of the application.
If the governing body disapproves the application or offers a"no-recommendation" decision, or
if protests have been filed, the application must be set for a hearing before the State Liquor
Board. The hearing may be conducted by the board or by a designated hearing officer. The
purpose of a hearing is to consider all evidence and testimony in favor of or opposed to the
granting of a license.
The applicant for a new license bears the burden of demonstrating his or her "capability,
qualifications and reliability" and that the granting of a license is in "the best interest of the
community" except that, in a person-to-person transfer, an applicant need only prove his or her
"capability, qualifications and reliability". An applicant in a location-to-location transfer need
only prove that the granting of the license is in the "best interest of the community".

recommendation of approval by the Silverbell Road Corridor
Overlay District Manager's Design Review Committee regarding
Continental Crossing Condominiums.
DISCUSSION
Request for Rati~cation
EEC Inc., on behalf of DAZ7 - Sombrero Peak LLC, is requesting ratification of the recommendation of
approval by the Manager's Design Review Committee regarding design review for Continental Crossing
Condominiums.
Location
The project is located on 18.98 acres in the Pima Farms North Specific Plan area and is generally located
on the southwest corner of Silverbell Road and Continental Reserve Loop.
Silverbell Road Corridor Overlav District (S.R.C.O.D.) Desi~n Review Committee
The Silverbell Road Corridor Overlay District applies to all new commercial and multiple family
developments occurring within its defined boundaries. A Design Review Overlay is superimposed over
the S.R.C.O.D. The purpose of the Design Review Overlay is to guide the general appearance of sites
and buildings within the district.
The Manager's Design Review Committee including five (5) members and one (1) alternate was formed
to review and provide recommendation to Town Council regarding all new commercial development
within the S.R.C.O.D. Per the requirements of the S.R.C.O.D. the Manager's Design Review
recommendation shall be forwarded by the Planning Department to Town Council for consideration,
which "shall act to affirm, or reverse, in whole or in part, or modify the Design Review Committee's
recommendation."
Pro 1 ect
On August 30, 2007, the Silverbell Road Commercial Overlay District Design Review Committee voted
unanimously to approve the design of the Continental Crossing Condominiums development based upon
the stated objectives of the S.R.C.O.D.
Continental Crossing Condominiums represents the first of a 25.4 acre two-phased multi-family
residential, commercial/retail project. The first phase encompasses approximately 18 acres and includes
20 buildings with 200 condominium units on 13 acres, 1.3 acres of recreation space (pool, playground and
clubhouse), and 3.6 acres of open space. The second phase is for a six-acre commerciaUretail project and
will require review and approval by the Manager's Design Review Committee and Town Council. The
091807 Continental Crossing Condos SRCOD Design Review DPR-06135.doc
six-acre commercial site is located along Silverbell Road next to the existing convenience store (Quik-
Mart) and is subject to the review of the Design Review Committee.
The multi-family buildings are designed to resemble large single family houses. The total square feet of
the units vary from 800 to 1691 square feet. Each unit is to have a washer/dryer hookup, full size kitchen,
one to three bedrooms, one to two bathrooms, and a small private patio. Each building will have ten units
and a private garage, and a patio or balcony, for each unit. The ten garages share the ground floor with
three single story units, while the second floor has seven units accessed by private stairwells. All units
will have a secured exterior entrance that leads guests directly into the ground floor units or into the
private stairwells for the second floor units. There is a clubhouse and recreation center located near the
main entrance of the development. The clubhouse is a two story building with similar architectural style
as the rest of the buildings.
The residential buildings will be of wood frame and stucco construction with a variety of framing
elements that highlight the insulated doors and aluminum framed windows with arched brows and
stepped sills. The roofing will consist of complimentary colored concrete 'S' roof tile on hipped and
gabled roof forms. There are no mansards or parapets since mechanical equipment will not be mounted
on the roof, but placed on the ground amidst the landscaping. Each side of each building is designed with
architectural elements such as clay pipes, wrought iron elements, stone veneer and attractive lighting
fixtures. The maximum allowable building height is 34 feet; the applicant is proposing 32.8 feet.
The proposed design review application was reviewed by staff for compliance with all applicable design,
development and performance standards and guidelines as required by the Silverbell Road Corridor
Overlay District. This design review application is in substantial conformance with all required
development and design standards and guidelines.

TOWN OF MARANA ' ~ '
MEETING
INFORMATION ~RIZON~
MEETING DATE: September 18, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: L 6
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: T. VanHook, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-158: Relating to Community Development;
approving and accepting the execution of a sales agreement for the
purchase of the property located at 12470 North Whitney Lane,
Marana to develop affordable workforce housing for low- to
moderate-income families in partnership with Habitat for
Humanity.
DISCUSSION
The Community Development Department has extended a purchase offer for the property located
at 12470 North Whitney Lane, Marana as a prospective sight for the Town's affordable housing
land inventory. The Sales Agreement is contingent approval of the Mayor and Council and
rezoning to allow the development of four single-family homes. The one-acre property currently
has an existing house that will be rehabilitated and sufficient land to build an additional three
single family homes. The lot sizes for the houses will range from approximately 10,815 square
feet to 7,875 square feet with an average of nearly 9,500 square feet.
Each year Pima County provides the Town with funding through the CDBG program to acquire
land to leverage into affordable housing projects. The number of houses depends directly on the
amount of funding available for land acquisition and ability to find suitable property at an
affordable price.
Although staff recognizes the important role workforce housing plays in fostering economic
growth, Marana's Community Development Department does not currently have a building
program in place. Staff is working with a number of partners to address the issues surrounding
affordable housing and is looking for the best ways to support the community's affordable
housing needs. One of these partners is Habitat for Humanity, a community-based 501 (c)(3)
organization that builds housing using a model combining community development,
volunteerism, and education, and support for homebuyers to provide workforce housing.
In February, the Town and Habitat for Humanity established Marana Builds Habitat, an ongoing
cooperative program between Habitat and the Town of Marana that intends to produce three to
five single-family houses per year. This land acquisition, using CDBG land acquisition dollars,
will be leveraged into the Marana Builds Habitat program. The proposed purchase will allow
the development of four affordable units.
9/11 /2007
Over the past eight months, staff has worked with Habitat to find the appropriate parcels for this
program. Acquisition of this property for housing to be built by Habitat will pair their volunteer
capital, development history, expertise, and energy with our resources to continue Marana
Builds Habitat.
Staff invited Habitat Executive Director Michael McDonald and Deputy Director and Planner
Danny Knee out to look at the property, and both parties feel that it is the perfect situation for a
Habitat build. Not only is this land located in a Colonia allowing the Town to waive most of the
impact and permitting fees, it also allows Habitat to leverage state and federal dollars into the
project. The Town will guide the rezoning process with the assistance of Habitat.
Both partners have held very positive discussions with Pima County's Community Development
and Neighborhood Conservation Department. Pima County Community Services is in full
support of the collaboration and has offered assistance with contracting, funding, and technical
support as the project moves forward.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approving the execution of a sales agreement for the purchase of the property
located at 12470 North Whitney Lane, Marana for a proposed partnership with Habitat for
Humanity to develop affordable workforce housing for low- to moderate-income families at that
location.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to approve Resolution No. 2007-158.

3. Resolution No. 2007-139: Relating to,Lcznd Development; authorizing the
Mayor to send a letter on behalf of t,lie Council and the citizens of Marana
responding to the Federal Emergency',1Ylanagement Agency's change in policy
relating to flood risk assessment; and de~Caring an emergency (Keith Brann)
Mr. Brann addressed Council and stated this resolution is for the mayor to have
the authority to sign a letter that will be send out tc~ various political bodies, state,
federal representatives, the President, anyone who we feel we need to get our
voice heard. The sample letter goes over a few areas of FEMA's policy that the
town strongly disagrees with. There is no dt~ubt' that what has driven FEMA to
make thes~ dr~astic. changes was fIurricane Katrina. We have to get our point
across that coastal liurricanes have little to do with the arid southwest and how we
manage c~ur flood , plains down here. Another point they are making is the
previously t~rumapp~d areas and even areas that FEMA has granted letter of map
revision to are~~c~i~g t b~ g~lled in~o the flood plain when they really had little or
no flc~od plain be~z~re.
They are rnaking another; point in the letter that when FEMA reviews letters of
map revision from municipalities or consultants they require extremely detailed
hydrologic studies. FEMA is not performing any studies themselves. In summary
they, are saying that FEMA is asking us to address the concerns regarding levies
and not themselves. The main points are insufficient study and that it is somewhat
of an unfunded mandate. This letter either needs to be tailored to either get the
conditian removed or plead for time so we can get large scale flood improvement
projects in place to take the place of what FEMA is going to take away from us.
Council Member Escobedo stated at the governor's conference he spoke with a
few municipalities and they have not received this letter.
Upon motion by Council Member McGorray, seconded by Council Member
Comerford, Resolution No. 2007-139 was unanimously approved.

2. Presentation relating to Public Works; the Town of Marana Stormwater Ordinance
(Barbara Johnson)
Jennifer Christelman addressed Council regarding the Stormwater Ordinance, stating that
it is required through ADEQ. The town is mandated to comply with the stormwater
program, and ADEQ requires the town to develop an ordinance that would prohibit
discharges into our stormwater system as well as setting guidelines for construction to
prevent sediment and erosion control. She noted that in December 2006, staff prepared a
draft document and started having workshops with stakeholders, engineers, and
developers in February 2007.
Some of the highlights of the stormwater program are to prevent stormwater discharges
into the storm sewer system. On constructian sites ADEQ restricts cornpliance to one
acre. Currently the reporting authority is Arizona Departme~t of Environmental Quality.
The ordinance includes inspections of public and griuate projects and enforcement and
penalties for violation. Staff is planning to bring the ordinance to Council for adoption on
September 18tn

area the presence of the CFD is disclosed to them in the purchase documents. This

Code Title 7 by revising section 7-1-2(8); changing the name of the

claring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
Every three years the International Code Council publishes new comprehensive codes that are
approved through a consensus process for adoption by jurisdiction throughout the United States.
The Town Council adopted the 2006 versions of the codes at the beginning of this year. Local
amendments to most of these codes were also adopted to meet local conditions specific to the
desert southwest region.
If adopted, this ordinance will add additional amendments to the codes which are recommended
based upon further research and evaluation of situations particular to our area. The ordinance
will also make certain administrative changes to Title 7 of the Town Code, as needed.
An emergency clause has been added so that the health and safety aspects of these amendments
might be able to take effect immediately.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2007.22, adopting the proposed amendments to the
building and town codes.

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Cedric Hay, Senior Assistant Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-159: Relating to Development; modifying the
subdivision requirements by providing that certain existing
overhead electric facilities need not be undergrounded in the
vicinity of the Continental Reserve and Ironwood Reserve
development projects.
DISCUSSION
Land Development Code Sections 06.02.02(B)(6)(b) and 06.03.02 (L) require underground
electrical transmission lines carrying less than 69 kV to be located underground in connection
with the subdivision development process. Nevertheless, there are many areas throughout the
Town which remain above ground even though development has already been completed. In
many instances there has been too much time elapsed to be able to determine with any certainty
who is or was responsible. In an attempt to reach a fair compromise with those who may or may
not have had the responsibility to place these lines underground town staff has been able to get a
commitment from DR Horton and Diamond Ventures to partially rectify the situation in the
Continental Reserve area.
Pursuant to the provision of the Land Development Code (Section 06.08.01) which authorizes
the Town Council to modify the subdivision standards, town staff has agreed to allow certain
electric facilities to remain above ground once certain other facilities are placed underground.
DR Horton and Diamond Ventures, Inc. jointly shall place the following existing overhead
electric facilities in the following locations underground:
At the Moonfire Court cul de sac, a power pole at approximate station 11+50, left will be
removed. The electric line from this location will be placed underground to a power pole
relocated approximately five feet away from an existing pole adjacent to lot 209 of block 2 of
Ironwood Reserve. This relocated pole will become the new riser for the power line.
All remaining existing overhead facilities in the Continental Reserve and Ironwood Reserve
subdivisions that are located within utility easement corridors shall be allowed to remain above
ground.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Mayor and Council approve this resolution directing DR Horton and Diamond
Ventures to place the designated electrical facilities underground.

WHEREAS Marana Land Development Code Sections 06.02.02(B)(6)(b) and 06.03.02
(L) require underground electrical transmission lines carrying less than 69 kV to be located
underground in connection with the subdivision development process; and
WHEREAS Town staff has recommended that certain existing overhead electric
facilities, in the area known as Continental Reserve, be permitted to remain above ground; and
WHEREAS Marana Land Development Code Section 06.08.01 authorizes the Town
Council to modify the subdivision standards to the extent it deems appropriate to the public
interest; and
WHEREAS DR Horton and Diamond Ventures, Inc., the developers of the area in
question, have indicated that they will take responsibility for placing certain electrical facilities
undergound while others will be allowed to remain; and
WHEREAS the Town Council deems the modifications set forth in this resolution to be
appropriate to the public interest.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, as follows:
SECTION 1. DR Horton and Diamond Ventures, Inc. jointly shall place the following
existing overhead electric facilities in the following locations underground:
a. At the Moonfire Court cul de sac, a power pole at approximate station 11+50, left will be
removed. The electric line from this location will be placed underground to a power pole
relocated approximately five feet away from an existing pole adjacent to lot 209 of block

SECTION 2. Contingent upon the undergrounding of the electrical facilities mentioned in
Section 1 above, the following electrical facilities shall be allowed to remain above ground:

Ironwood Reserve subdivisions that are located within utility easement corridors
SECTION 3. The Town Manager is authorized to take such actions as may be necessary
to carry out the terms of this resolution.

DISCUS5ION
March 7, 2006, Mayor and Council adopted the Town of Marana Stormwater Management
Program (Plan) that requires the Town to develop a stormwater ordinance to address non-storm
water discharges, construction site storm water runoff, and post-construction storm water runoff.
This requirement must be completed by November 2007.
The ordinance was drafted in January 2007 and was discussed at a series of internal staff
meetings. A revised draft was presented at a Town of Marana sponsored Stakeholder Workshop
in February. Staff received 140 comments from stakeholders. The draft was also presented at
the Southern Arizona Homebuilders Association (SAHBA) Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) Subcommittee meetings between February and June. The draft was then
submitted to the Town of Marana Legal Department for review.
This ordinance represents a collaborative effort on the part of Town of Marana staff and
stakeholders. The ordinance will be incorporated into the Land Development Code as Title 25.
Staff presented a draft of this ordinance to Mayor and Council on September 4, 2007. Since that
time staff has received no additional comments.

area has been established on all unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent
structures, or
ii. Equivalent permanent stabilization measures (such as riprap, gabions, or
geotextiles) have been employed.
b. When background native vegetation will cover less than 100 percent of the ground (e.g.,
r_ arid areas, beaches), the 70 percent coverage criteria is adjusted as follows: if the native
vegetation covers 50 percent of the ground, 70 percent of 50 percent (.70 x.50 =.35) would

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Barbara Johnson, Public Works Director

public record that certain document entitled "Stormwater Man-
agement Ordinance," adopted by Ordinance No. 2007.23, and filed
with the Town Clerk.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2007-161, immediately prior to or at the same
time as the adoption of Ordinance No. 2007.23.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2007-161.

MEETING DATE: September 18, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: J. 5
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-162: Relating to Employment; approving and
authorizing the Mayor to execute a new employment agreement
with Town Manager Michael A. Reuwsaat
DISCUSSION
A proposed employment agreement with Town Manager Michael A. Reuwsaat is presented for
Town Council consideration, to replace the agreement adopted on January 4, 2005 by Resolution
No. 2005-06. Like the January 2005 agreement, this proposed agreement would provide the
Town Manager with benefits consistent with those enjoyed by other Town employees, plus the
following additional benefits:
• The agreement continues the Manager's $500 per month vehicle allowance (now shown
as $231 per pay period).
• The agreement allocates 4% of additional income to the Manager's Section 457 Deferred
Compensation account.
• The agreement provides six months' severance pay (salary plus benefits). Like the 2005
agreement, which terminated the right to severance pay on June 5, 2007, the right to sev-
erance pay ends when the new Town Council is seated after the 2009 elections.
These additional benefits are consistent with the additional benefits provided to other city, town,
and county managers throughout Arizona.
This proposed agreement includes the following revisions from the 2005 agreement:
• The Base Salary is now $142,000.
• It eliminates the provision for payrnent to the Manager for any accrued sick leave upon
voluntary or involuntary termination of employment. This proposed agreement will pro-
vide only far payment for accrued vacation leave upon termination, in a manner consis-
tent with other Town employees.
• All references to monthly benefits are now broken down by pay period.
• The Council's annual performance evaluation of the Manager will occur each Novem-
ber, with any resulting merit increase effective the following January. (The 2005 agree-
ment provided for evaluation in July with the adjustment occurring on August 1.) The
revised schedule is consistent with the Town's new Performance Management System,
{00006113.DOC FJC 9/11/2007 1:56 PM
which provides for fall evaluations of all employees with any resulting merit increases
taking effect on January 1.
• The indemnification provision (paragraph 10) now simply provides the same rights as
any other Town officer or employee under current Town Code Section 2-10-2. The 2005
agreement used different indemnification language.
• It eliminates the Town's obligation to "provide for an Annual Physical Examination at a
physician of Employee's choice." This provision appeared redundant of Town-provided
medical insurance coverage.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2007-162, approving and authorizing the Mayor to
execute the proposed employment agreement with Michael A. Reuwsaat.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2007-162.
