JULY 209'199?
Joel Shapiro, Planning Director, stated that these revisions had been addressed at a
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on May 26,1999 and were approved. He
stated that this development would require further consultation with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife department with specific references to the cactus ferruginous pygmy-
owl and that his recommendation for the Council was approval of this request.
Council Member Honea commented that he was not opposed to clustering but that
he was concerned with the possible addition of over 600 children to the Marana
Unified School District He further stated his concerns with the absence of
commercial properties to provide required services to this development and the lack
of a recreational area for the approximately 1,700 residents. He concluded by
requesting that language be placed in the proposed ordinance that permitted the
Town to provide potable water services or to drill a well.
Vice Mayor Reuwsaat requested that the commercially zoned properties not be
converted to residentially zoned properties because of the sales tax revenue needed
to support the residential development and that recreational areas be provided for
necessary buffering of the area. He further agreed with Council Member Honea that
specific language be placed in the ordinance to ensure the Towres ability to control
the water services.
Council Member Kai asked Ryan Bale, representing the applicant Sharpe &
Associates, several questions about the sewer system provisions as well as inquiring
about septic systems in the area. Mr. Bale replied that over half of the area's
residents were on a septic system.

applicant regarding the questions and concerns brought before the Council.
