TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Erik Montague, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Presentation of the Town's published Annual Budget and
Financial Plan for fiscal year 2008.
DISCUSSION
The Government Finance Officer's Association (GFOA) established the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Awards Program (Budget Awards Program) in 1984 to encourage and assist state
and local governments to prepare budget documents of the very highest quality that reflect both
the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and
the GFOA's recommended practices on budgeting and then to recognize individual governments
that succeed in achieving that goal.
In order to be considered for the Budget Awards Program the Town's published budget must
serve as a:
• Policy Document
• Financial Plan
• Operations Guide
• Communication Device
There are twenty seven individual requirements that must be met. We believe that the fiscal year
2007-2008 Annual Budget and Financial Plan complies with the Budget Awards Program and
we will be submitting it to GFOA for consideration. This will be the Town's first formal
submission.
ATTACHMENTS
The Town's Annual Budget and Financial Plan for fiscal year 2007-2008 will be distributed to
Council before the meeting.

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".
The decision by the board to grant or deny an application will normally take place within 105
days after the application has been filed, unless the director deems it necessary to extend the time
period. A.R.S. 4-201, 4-201.01, 4-203; Rule R-4-15-102.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval and recommendation to the state liquor board for this liquor license.

I move to approve Resolution No. 2007-185.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-190: Relating to Development; approving and
authorizing a final block plat for Sanders Grove.
DISCUSSION
History and Request
The Town Council approved the preliminary block plat for this project on December 5, 2006.
The applicant requests approval of a final block plat for the property comprising the Sanders
Grove Specific Plan. The plat will consist of 31 residential blocks, one commercial block, and
one block designated as an open space overlay zone.
Location
The proposed subdivision encompasses approximately 834.7 acres, and generally located north
of Marana Road, south of Hardin Road, east of Wentz Road, and west of Sanders Road within
portions of Section 17 and the north half of Section 20, Township I I South, Range I I East.
Proposed Use
The proposed use of the subject property, pursuant to the Specific Plan, is predominantly single-
family residential; however, approximately 17.5 acres has been designated for commercial use in
the southeast comer of the development. The lot size required for the single-family residential
lots will range from a minimum of 3,500 square feet in the Medium-High-Density Residential
to a minimum of 6,000 square feet in the Medium-Low-Density Residential, with no more than
20 percent of the MLDR lots at less than 7,000 square feet. The project also proposes a potential
school site of approximately 16 acres, a public neighborhood park of approximately 19 acres,
and approximately 128 acres of open space.
Drainage
This property is relatively flat with a southeast to northwest gradient of less than one percent.
There are no washes or significant peaks, ridges, or rock outcroppings on the site. The Specific
Plan calls for an open space overlay zone to be utilized for drainage conveyance and for trails.
Along the northeast portion of the project, a high volume concrete channel will be built to allow
Sanders Grove FBP TC.doe
for drainage coming from the Tortolita Mountains. A retention/ detention basin will be located in
the northwest comer of the property.
Access and Circulation
Access into the project is provided from Marana Road along the south boundary, Wentz Road on
the west, the 1-10 Frontage Road on the northeast, and Sanders Road on the east. An internal
loop street connecting Sanders and Marana Roads will provide access to the individual blocks
within the development. The required rights-of-way for Sanders Road, Marana Road, Wentz
Road, Hardin Road and Kirby Hughes Road will be dedicated to the Town by this final block
plat. Additional dedications of 75 feet and 120 feet of off-site right-of-way for Sanders Road,
east of the project boundary, will be dedicated by separate instrument. Additionally,
approximately three miles of new road right-of-way will be dedicated for the loop road. The
developer is required to make significant roadway improvements to Marana Road, Sanders Road,
Kirby Hughes Road and Hardin Road as specified in the development agreement. The developer
is required to pay the applicable development impact fee for transportation improvements, but
pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance 2005.09, may receive credits and/or reimbursements
against such fees for the cost to dedicate, design and construct the improvements to Marana Road
and Sanders Road as specified in the development agreement.
Parks and Recreation
The developer has agreed to design, build and dedicate a 20-acre public neighborhood park per
the specific plan and development agreement. Within each platted block, private recreational
facilities will be constructed per Town requirements at a minimum amount of 185 square feet per
residential unit. The design and location of recreational facilities must be approved by the Town
of Marana Parks and Recreation Director and the Planning Director. As with the transportation
impact fee, the developer is responsible for applicable development impact fee for park
improvements, but pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance 2005.09, may receive credits and/or
reimbursements against such fees for the cost to dedicate, design and construct the neighborhood
park and eligible public trail system elements as specified in the development agreement.
Schools
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Developer has agreed a School Improvement
Contribution Fee in the amount of $1,200 per residential lot. In addition, the developer has
reserved an approximately 16-acre potential school site in block 2 (medium-low density
residential) for the Marana Unified School District until 2010.
Summary
Staff has reviewed the request against the requirements of the Marana Land Development Code,
the Specific Plan and the Development Agreement. The final block plat is in conformance with
all required development regulations and design guidelines. This plat is subject to certain off-site
dedications, which will be recorded through separate instruments. These must be recorded prior
to the recordation of the plat.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-191: Relating to Public Works; approving
and authorizing an intergovernmental agreement between the
Regional Transportation Authority and the Town of Marana for
wildlife linkage study along Twin Peaks Road over Rattlesnake
Pass.
DISCUSSION
The Town of Marana is working with Empire Companies to design the widening Twin Peaks
Road from two to four lanes, between approximately Quarry Road and Silverbell Road.
The project area has long been recognized as a critical link between the Tucson Mountains and
the Tortolita Mountains. The Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan identified the I-10/Santa Cruz
River Corridor in northwest Pima County as one of six regional areas important for wildlife
connectivity. The linkage is also identified by Town's Technical Biology Team for the Habitat
Conservation Plan as a critical linkage. The project is located just southwest of the I-10/Santa
Cruz River corridor, constituting a critical sub-linkage within this larger corridor.
The Town of Marana is working with Arizona Game and Fish Department to complete a study
that will identify the species of wildlife crossing the identified project area as well as suitable
crossing locations along the project length. This study will also establish wildlife linkage
recommendations on wildlife linkage structures, plantings, median design, visibility, and speed
limits.
The Regional Transportation Authority has funding available for Wildlife Linkages, and the
Wildlife Linkages Subcommittee approved this project for $20,882. It was approved by the Pima
Association of Government's Transportation Improvement Program and the Management
Committee.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval to provide funding for the Twin Peaks over Rattlesnake Pass
Wildlife Linkage Study.

MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING

DATE: October 16, 2007
1. Presentation: Status of the Capital Improvement Projects Under Construction
(Barbara Johnson)
Barbara Johnson stated that she wants to report on a regular basis on the capital
improvement projects that are being worked on. She presented a map outlining projects
in the design phase, in the construction phase, and upcoming projects. Marana Vista
Estates, Tangerine Farms, Thomydale Road., and the Bank Protection Project were the
topics for this meeting.
Ms. Johnson noted that Honea Heights is a complex project involving the county, and
staff is still working with the county to determine how best to land that. No conclusion
has been arrived at; however, we are in the process of putting out for bid a paving project
which will pave their roads to the extent that we can until we can get the sewer line issues
resolved. The last word we had from the county was that they were not going to look at
any potential future IGA with us with regard to that sewer line.
Marana Vista Estates, in one our older neighborhoods, started construction last week.
We're looking to improve the street lighting and put in five-foot sidewalks, with the idea
that the whole community will have improved safety and a better sense of community.
That project is expected to be finished in January. The county has provided $370,000 in
bond money, and the town has contributed $630,000 from the general fund.
Tangerine Farms is a project that takes a four-lane divided road, from 1-10 and Tangerine
Road back through Gladden Fanns and connects to Moore Road. It will have multi-use
lanes, sidewalks, curbs, and landscape shared-use paths. This is funded through an
improvement district for a total of $30,000. We are a little ahead of time, looking
towards early next year for completion. Pima County has approved the sewer lines, and
we've completed the first lift on Moore Road to Lon Adams.
Thomydale is a project to reconstruct Thornydale between Orange Grove and where the
bridge crosses the CDO Wash, where Pima County left off. It's a $13,000,000 project
and includes taking Thomydale Road to six lanes, with multi-use lanes and public art.
Ms. Johnson thanked Council Members for coming to the open house. She noted that the
residents would like a longer sound wall, which will be increased by 1000 feet.
Ms. Johnson noted that the guaranteed maximum price amendment negotiations with
Granite are almost complete. Staff is trying to fix as many prices as we can to limit the
number of unknowns in the contract. There are some waterline relocation issues, which
staff is working on with the City of Tucson, and a few other miscellaneous right-of-way
issues.
On Silverbell Rd, there is a sanitary sewer interceptor project. It consists of about 4600
linear feet of sewer main and 14 new manholes; 1600 feet of water line needs to be
replaced. There are major drainage issues along Silverbell, which is going to be a five-
lane road, and which is in line with some of the bank protection work and the community
park that is going to run that length. That's a less-than-year project. That award has
2

DATE: October 16,2007
gone to Granite Construction, and staff has completed our pre-construction services
contract. Total funding looks to be about $16,000,000. Pima Mine Wash runs every
time we get rain, and that's one of five drainages that are brutal on Silverbell Road.
Bank Protection Project - $4 million that the county took over at the beginning. It's a
project that provides a soil-cement erosion protection along the west bank of the Santa
Cruz from Ina to Cortaro. The project is almost complete.
ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES - No announcements or updates.

L. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/POSSIBLE ACTION
1. Presentation: Preliminary Findingsjor the Wastewater Service Rate Case Study
(Barbara Johnson)
Ms. Johnson stated that, in order to assist in the analysis of the financial impact on the town,
and the rate payers, from the wastewater system acquisition, the consulting services of
econalysis.com were engaged.
Dan Jackson, Managing Director and Chief Executive of Econalysis.com, stated that his
company was engaged to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the financial impact to the
Town of Marana of the acquisition and operation of its wastewater system. He stated that, in
an analysis such as this, they seek to address the following issues. First, what the cost will be
to actually operate this system once it is acquired. Second, what will need to be built to
provide service to the rate payers and the costs incurred. Lastly, what the impact will be to
the rate payers of the acquisition of this system.
Mr. Jackson stated that the analysis addresses each issue and examines the financial impact
of this acquisition both in the cur-rent year and for a forecast period of ten years into the
future. He went over various rates of wastewater utilities throughout Arizona, and how they
compare with the wastewater utility of Marana. He also stated that under town ownership
wastewater rates will have to go up, though wastewater rates are going up for everybody in
Arizona. The average forecast percent rate increase that is going to be experienced by the
Town of Marana under this analysis, is equivalent to what rate payers have been
experiencing over the last ten years. People in the town have seen the rates go up at about 5
1/2%-6% on average per year over the last decade. Wastewater rates throughout the United
States are expected to increase significantly over the next decade. Rate payers in the town,
under town ownership of the system, are expected to see a beneficial rate structure that will
enable them to pay charges that are less than the state average over the next decade.
Council Member Ziegler thanked the Water Department for their work on this presentation
and had general questions about the difference in rates for current rate payers in Marana now
and in 2008.
Vice Mayor Kai asked Mr. Jackson to elaborate on his recommendation for one rate
structure for commercial. Mr. Jackson stated that basically the use of one rate structure for
commercial helps to eliminate the extra work required in classifying the different commercial
entities and deciding how to charge them.
Vice Mayor Kai stated that $300,000 per year for repairs and reserve for the wastewater
plants seems to be a conservative number, to which Mr. Jackson replied that the number
could very well be lower, as newer plants do not require as much expense.

MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
DATE: October 16, 2007
Vice Mayor Kai asked if 12 months is enough time to build a wastewater system, or if more
time is needed. Ms. Johnson stated that the projected time to complete is actually 24 months,
at the end of January 2009.
Mayor Honea asked Ms. Johnson to explain how Marana can treat water to A+ at about the
same cost as the County can treat B water. Ms. Johnson stated that one advantage is that the
town is smaller, in terms of the overhead costs. The town has a very favorable situation with
respects to its financing, extremely good utility rates in terms of electricity, and a very
favorable management contract.
M. EXECUTIVE SESSION
Upon motion by Council Member Escobedo, seconded by Council Member McGorray,

Manager and Town Attorney with respect to that agreement (Frank Cassidy)
Council returned to the dais after executive session, and Mr. Cassidy stated that the legal
department requests that the Town Council authorize the filing of a lawsuit against Pima
County, to litigate and determine the rights under the 1979 Pima County/Marana Sewer IGA,
and that they be authorized as soon as possible with that litigation.
Upon motion by Council Member Comerford, seconded by Council Member McGorray,

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING TOWN OF MARANA
INFORMATION
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: J. 2
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin M. Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2007.25: Relating to
Development; approving and authorizing a rezoning for the
Uptown at Marana Specific Plan.
DISCUSSION
History
This item was continued from the October 2 nd and 16 1h Council meeting to address recommended
conditions.
A presentation was made to Town Council on August 14, 2007 to familiarize the Council with
the project.
Rezoning Request
The project lies north of Marana Road, west of 1-10 to Sanders Road. Approval of this proposed
rezoning would recommend to the Town Council to rezone the subject area of approximately 205
acres from "R-144" (single family residential, 144,000 square foot minimum lot area) to "F"
Specific Plan to create the Uptown at Marana Specific Plan. The purpose of "17" zoning is
generally to provide functionality and creativity in site planning and design that the developer
cannot achieve with conventional zoning. The applicant is proposing to develop a master
planned community that includes neighborhood and regional commercial, mixed use of
commercial and residential, a mix of residential densities and housing types, recreation and open
space. The specific plan will restrict residential development to a maximum of 930 residential
units
General Plan
The 2003 General Plan designates the subject area as Medium Density Residential (MDR). MDR
is characterized by detached and attached single-family dwelling units as well as other various
types of multi-family housing. Various commercial services are appropriate based on
compatibility. The proposed rezoning is located within a designated growth area and its mix of
commercial and residential uses and densities fully supports General Plan goals and policies for
diverse land uses, efficient use of infrastructure and public services, environmental quality and
recreation.
This rezoning proposal requests approval of a specific plan which requires a land use designation
of "MPA" (Master Planning Area). The change in land use designation from "MDR" to "MPA"
requires a minor General Plan amendment and is also to be considered as part of the Specific
Plan request.
110607 PCZ-06099 Uptown at Marana Specific Plan TC.doc
Land Use
The Uptown at Marana Specific Plan is designed as a walkable, compact mix of commercial and
residential development with five different land use designations totaling 205 acres. Low-
medium residential (41 acres) and medium-high residential (26 acres) are planned for the central
and northwest areas of the site. Neighborhood commercial (8 acres) is a smaller, pedestrian
scale commercial area located north of and parallel to Marana Road. Regional commercial (80
acres) is planned for the eastern area of the property, adjacent to 1-10 and the neighboring
property that will eventually be developed for large scale commercial. Mixed use (29 acres) with
commercial and residential is located in the southwest area. The remaining 28 acres consists of
open space, park facilities, and trails for connectivity within and beyond the property.
These land use designations are described in more detail below:
Low-Medium Density Residential for single-family dwelling units, including attached units
of higher density duplexes, town homes, row houses, and urban villas. The project may also
include detached single family units on a minimum lot size of 2,200 square feet. The density
range is 3.1 - 8.0 units per acre.
Medium-High Density Residential for attached single-family dwelling units, including town
homes, row houses, and urban villas. This use also includes traditional multi-family units.
The minimum lot area for attached single family units is 1,625 square feet. The density
range is 8.1 - 12.0 units per acre.
Neighborhood Commercial is proposed as a pedestrian scale, central marketplace in a Main
Street setting with a variety of retail and service uses.
Regional Commercial is located to take advantage of visibility to 1-10 and Marana Road.
This area includes a wide range of vehicle oriented retail uses, ranging from national retail
tenants to small users. Building design standards will allow flexibility for national tenant
standards, but also design for compatibility with the overall project design.
Mixed Use allows multi-family uses along with commercial uses permitted in Neighborhood
Commercial. No more than 50% of an MU parcel can be developed as residential.
Traffic Circulation
Uptown at Marana will be accessed from Marana Road and from Sanders Road. There are four
major intersections, including the north terminus of Tangerine Farms Road, with Marana Road.
There is one intersection with Sanders Road, and two internal connections to the adjacent
property to the east. Internal circulation is comprised of a network of collectors, local streets and
alleys that effectively define the different use areas and connections throughout the development.
All major streets will be public, and local streets within development blocks may be private or
public as deter-mined during the platting process.
Six street and alley cross sections are proposed for the commercial and residential areas. Those
proposed sections were presented in a Design Exception Report to allow for some variance from
Marana street standards, and approved by the Planning Commission at their July 30, 2007
meeting.
110607 PCZ-06099 Uptown at Marana Specific Plan TC.doc
Road Improvements
There are several road improvements to be completed as part of overall development of the
Uptown at Marana Specific Plan. Improvements include, but not limited to, widening Marana
Road to six lanes, reconstructing the Marana 1-10 traffic interchange, extending Marana Main
Street from Sandario Road to Marana Road, reconstructing the Marana Road/Sandario Road
intersection, and building a pedestrian underpass on Marana Road. The Developer will
participate in the design and construction of these improvements in accordance with the
recommended conditions and the approved traffic analysis.
The Developer will be required to dedicate the necessary rights-of-way for Marana Road and
Sanders Road. In addition to intersection improvements for signalization, turn lane
improvements, and other roadway improvements, the developer will be responsible for widening
Marana Road from four lanes (to be constructed by Sanders Grove) to six lanes. In the event that
Sanders Grove does not construct the initial four lane improvements, the Developer will be
responsible for that construction.
This development will also be subject to the adopted Northwest Marana Roadway impact Fee.
Open Space, Recreation and Trails
The Uptown at Marana Specific Plan will provide a central community park as well as pocket
parks throughout the development. These parks will address the required on-site recreational
requirements, be developed in conjunction with the individual subdivisions, and meet the
minimum Town of Marana adopted standards.
The specific plan will also include a linear layout of open space and a network of trails to
connect all areas within the project as well as major community trails adjacent to the property.
Landscaped buffer areas are provided along the perimeter of the project, including a 30' buffer
along I- 10, as well as internal buffers between different land uses.
This development will be subject to the adopted Park Development Impact Fee.
Sanitary Sewer
All lots are proposed to be served by extending the existing sanitary sewer system. The
Developer will prepare, at their sole expense, a Sewer Master Plan and enter into a Water Service
Agreement prior to recordation of the final block plat for the property. The Sewer Master Plan
will define the necessary wastewater conveyance scheme to connect to the sanitary sewer system
in an acceptable location. The Sewer Master Plan will also identify the necessary on-site
conveyance scheme to provide sewer connections to all platted lots or blocks within the property.
The Sewer Master Plan will also include a sewer phasing plan.
Water
The Developer will prepare a Water Master Plan for the property and enter into a Water Service
Agreement with the Marana Municipal Water Company (MMWC) prior to the approval of the
final block plat. This agreement will address potable and non-potable systems that set forth
various agreements for the interconnections and main extensions from the existing water system,
110607 PCZ-06099 Uptown at Marana Specific Plan TC.doc
and the development, construction, dedication, ownership, and design of the water system,
including any necessary storage and well(s) to serve the property. MMWC will own the potable
and non-potable water systems, will provide potable water service to the property, and either
MMWC or another water provider will supply non-potable water service to the property. The
water will be provided through the non-potable water system constructed by the Developer and
dedicated to MMWC. The Water Service Agreement must be in place prior to the approval of the
Master Water Plan.
School District
The developer has volunteered to contribute a fee per residential unit to mitigate the effects of
the proposed development on the Marana Unified School District.
Fire Protection
This property will be served by two fire districts. Approximately 40 acres of the property is in
the Avra Valley Fire District, and the remaining area is to be annexed into the Northwest Fire
District, which has a mutual aid agreement with the Avra Valley Fire District. The Northwest
Fire District will act on this annexation at their September 25, 2007 meeting.
If necessary, the Development Agreement will state that prior to performing a final Building
Department inspection on any dwelling unit, the owner shall have completed annexation into the
fire district, or provide evidence to the Town's satisfaction that a diligent effort has been made to
complete the process of having the property annexed into the fire district, or provide for other
fire protection service.
Design Standards
Section IV of the specific plan, Development Standards and Design Guidelines, provides the
regulatory requirements for the proposed specific plan. These regulations establish development
standards to evaluate and direct all planning and design within the project area. Staff finds that
the proposed regulations are appropriate to allow enhanced design capabilities and has no
objections to the standards.
This section also includes residential and commercial design standards that include minimum
standards for development of the specific plan. These standards meet or exceed the Residential
Design Standards and Commercial Design Standards adopted by the Town in 2005 and 2006.
Waiver of Potential Arizona Property Rights Protection Act Compensation Claims
To protect the Town against potential claims filed under the Arizona Property Rights Protection
Act as a result of changes in the land use laws that apply to the rezoning areas by the Town's
adoption of this ordinance, staff requires the applicant waive any rights to compensation for
diminution in value by execution and recordation of the attached waiver instrument: the Consent
to Conditions of Rezoning and Waiver of Claims for Possible Diminution of Value Resulting
from Town of Marana Ordinance No. 2007.25. Ordinance No. 2007.25 is not operative unless
and until the applicant waives any potential compensation claims.
110607 PCZ-06099 Uptown at Marana Specific Plan TC.doc
If the applicant does not forward the waiver in time to record it within 90 days after the
ordinance is passed, the ordinance becomes null and void, as if no action were ever taken to pass
the ordinance.

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING TOWN OF MARANA 11 7
INFORMATION (i
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: J. 3
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2007.28: Relating to
Development; approving and authorizing a rezoning for Camino
De Manana Properties.
DISCUSSION
Planning Commission Hearini!
A public hearing for this case was held during the October 3, 2007, Planning Commission
meeting. During this meeting the Commission heard from five of the property owners in the
area. All five property owners had specific concerns regarding the project. The Planning
Commission voted 3-1 recommending approval to the Town Council (Commissioner Fogel
dissenting, Commissioners Winger, Schisler and Jakab excused).
Summary of Application
The applicant, on behalf of the property owner, requests approval for a change in zoning on
approximately 29.6 acres to develop a single family detached residential subdivision. This site is
generally located on the east side of Camino De Mariana, 1.5 miles south of Tangerine Road.
Rezoninst Reques
The applicant proposes a change of zoning from "C" (Large Lot Zone) to "R-36" (Single Family
Residential, 36,000 square foot minimum lot size). The site is bordered by "R-36" zoning on the
north, west and south. The east property line borders unincorporated Pima County property
zoned "SR" (Single Family Residential, 144,000 square foot minimum lot size). The applicant
proposes to use this property in conjunction with approximately 70.8 contiguous acres to the
south already zoned "R-3 6" to create an integrated subdivision for the 100 acres.
Marana General Plan
The General Plan designates the property as Low Density Residential (LDR, 0.6 - 3 dwelling
units/acre). The proposed "R-36" zoning area with approximately 30 lots would create 1.01
dwelling units/acre meeting the intent and density requirements for the LDR land use
designation.
Access
Access to the proposed subdivision will be provided by two private roads off of Camino De
Mariana and the future Dove Mountain extension. Internal private streets will be built to Town
standards; therefore allowing on street parking and providing sidewalks.
110607 PCZ-07011 Camino De Manana Properties Rezoning TC.doc
Disturbance/Utilities
Due to the high resource value of the vegetation in this area and the desire to create a Sonoran
desert quality of life, a maximum allowable site disturbance of 30% will be imposed on the
rezoning area (as is imposed on the surrounding properties). On-site roadways, building
envelopes and all existing/proposed easements will be counted as disturbance. Building
envelopes will be established on the final plat. No existing public sewers exist in the area;
therefore septic systems are proposed. Septic systems and utilities will be incorporated inside
the building envelopes. Walls will be restricted to building envelopes. Water will be provided to
the proposed subdivision by Marana Water. All utilities will be placed underground.
Schools and Parks
The property owner has agreed to a voluntary contribution of $1,200 per dwelling unit payable to
the Marana Unified School District by the lot owners at the time of building permit. Lot owners
will also contribute the applicable Park Development Impact fees. A 15 foot wide Potvin Trail
with an improved cross-section of 6 foot wide decomposed granite built to Town of Marana
standards and maintained by the subdivision's owner association will be provided by the master
developer.
Fire Protection
The developer shall have completed or shall provide evidence to the Town's satisfaction that the
developer has made a diligent effort to complete the process of having the property annexed into
a fire district or otherwise provide for fire protection service prior to approval of the final plat.
PubHc Notification
A public notice for the hearing was published in the newspaper as well as posted at various
locations around the Town. In addition, public hearing notification letters were sent to all
property owners within 300 feet of the site. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on May
30, 2007 at the Nanini Public Library. Eight people attended the meeting; their concerns were:
negative impacts on property values, loss of natural views and the operation of quads in the
washes. Two letters of opposition were received; one letter was signed by 7 county property
owners to the east, the other letter was from the adjacent property owner/developer to the north
(see attachments). The developer has agreed to provide at least 40 foot of landscaped open space
and restricting all homes on lots 55, 56, 57, 61, 62, 63, 74 and 75 to one story, 20 foot building
height to provide a buffer for the east neighbors.
Waiver of Potential Arizona Property Rights Protection Act Compensation Claims
To protect the Town against potential claims filed under the Arizona Property Rights Protection
Act as a result of changes in the land use laws that apply to the rezoning areas by the Town's
adoption of this ordinance, staff requires the applicant waive any rights to compensation for
diminution in value by execution and recordation of the attached waiver instrument: the Consent
to Conditions of Rezoning and Waiver of Claims for Possible Diminution of Value Resulting
from Town of Marana Ordinance No. 2007.28. Ordinance No. 2007.28 is not operative unless
and until the applicant waives any potential compensation claims.
If the applicant doesn't forward the waiver in time to record it within 90 days after the ordinance
is passed, the ordinance becomes null and void, as if no action were ever taken to pass the
ordinance.

MEETING DATE: November 6, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: J. 4
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Keith Brann, P.E., CFM, Town Engineer
SUBJECT: Relating to Development; holding a public hearing for the
Northeast Transportation Development Impact Fee
DISCUSSION
On July 10, 2007 Town of Marana staff gave a presentation on creating an Impact Fee for
Northeast Marana. The Town of Marana released an Technical Report recommending the
adoption of a new impact fee for arterial and collector roadways in Northeast Marana on July 24,
2007. The analysis recommended a new impact fee in the amount of $6,872 per dwelling unit
for roadway development in Northeast Marana.
Copies of the Technical Report have been available at Town Hall, and have been posted on the
Town's website. A presentation on the new fee proposal was made at the Southern Arizona
Home Builders Association (SAHBA) Technical Committee on September 18,2007.
The purpose of this agenda item is to hold a required public hearing on the proposed impact fee.
SAHBA has requested that the collection of the fee not occur until 180 days from the date of
adoption instead of the 75 days minimum called for by state statute. Town staff is supportive of
this request and for ease of implementation has set the collection date as the first day of the next
fiscal year, July 1, 2008. SAHBA has also requested a step implementation of the new fee.
Town staff does not support that request. The proposed ordinance is attached for review and
discussion.

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING Ordinance No. 2007-29: Relating to
Development; approving and authorizing a modification to the
rezoning conditions of Ordinance No. 2002.16
DISCUSSION
History
On September 3, 2002, Council approved Ordinance 2002.16, which rezoned 18.64 acres of
vacant land located on the northwest comer of Camino de Oeste and Lambert Lane from Zone
"C" to R-144. Ordinance No. 2002.16 limits the total site disturbance to 20 percent (see attached
ordinance, condition #4).
The contiguous property to the north was rezoned to R-144 with a 30 percent maximum
disturbance limitation by Ordinance No. 2003.02 (see attached ordinance, condition #4). The
contiguous property to the west was rezoned to R-80 with a 30 percent maximum disturbance
limitation by Ordinance No. 2006.05 (see attached ordinance, condition #4).
Reques
The property owner, Mike Lee, requests a change in condition #4 of Ordinance No. 2002.16 to
increase the total site disturbance from 20 to 30 percent in order to create a five lot custom home
subdivision with 3.3 acre minimum lot size (see attached plat exhibit). Contiguous properties
rezoned subsequently to Ordinance 2002.16 were granted 30 percent maximum disturbance.
Westland Resources has completed a threatened and endangered species evaluation including
conservation measures for the property (see attached letter and evaluation from James A. Tress,
Jr. of Westland Resources, Inc.). This report recommends a 30 percent maximum disturbance
limitation along with other conservation measures. The owner concurs with the evaluation of
Westland Resources and has agreed to all the conservation measures recommended by them.

INFORMATION
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2007 AGENDAITEM: J. 6
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
Keith Brann, P.E., CFM, Town Engineer
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-193: Relating to Development; requesting
Federal Emergency Management Agency withdrawal of the
September 17, 2007 draft "Pima County Levee Failure Analysis"
floodplain maps; authorizing Town funding of a detailed
floodplain study of affected areas of the Town; identifying
potential future funding to reimburse study costs; authorizing
appropriate Town staff action; and declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued draft floodplain maps showing
their intended floodplain remapping of Marana by decertifying levee like structures including the
CAP canal, Interstate- 10, and the Union Pacific Railroad. The floodplain proposed by FEMA is not
being done as part of a drainage study.
Town staff recommends that the Town conduct a large scale drainage study to show the actual
drainage patterns and flood prone risks in these areas. In the interest of time, Town staff is
requesting that a state of emergency be declared relevant to this issue to allow a study to commence
as soon as possible. In conjunction with this request, Town staff is asking council to formally request
that the draft maps be withdrawn by FEMA while this study is being undertaken. The goal of the
withdrawal of the maps is to allow time for the study to be completed before a requirement to
purchase flood insurance is in place and to remove the stigma that the draft maps have created for
Marana.
The current capital improvement budget of the Town has funding for $500,000 towards a northwest
drainage study in the current fiscal year. This funding will be sufficient to cover expenses for this
fiscal year. Additional funding will be needed for next fiscal year. The study will take between 18
and 24 months to complete.
Once it is known how much property can be removed from FEMA's proposed floodplain by a study,
a benefit area will be brought to council to recover costs from undeveloped areas. It is staffs
intention that the $500,000 already allocated for a northwest drainage study will cover the burden of
the study on existing benefiting properties that are already developed.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to approve Marana Resolution 2007-193.
MARANA RESOLUTION NO. 2007-193
RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT; REQUESTING FEDERAL EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AGENCY WITHDRAWAL OF THE SEPTEMBER 17, 2007 DRAFT
"PIMA COUNTY LEVEE FAILURE ANALYSIS" FLOODPLAIN MAPS; AUTHORIZING
TOWN FUNDING OF A DETAILED FLOODPLAIN STUDY OF AFFECTED AREAS OF
THE TOWN; IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL FUTURE FUNDING TO REIMBURSE STUDY
COSTS; AUTHORIZING APPROPRIATE TOWN STAFF ACTION; AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY.
WHEREAS on September 17, 2dO7, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
("FEMA") issued draft "Pima County Levee Failure Analysis" floodplain maps, significantly
increasing the Zone A floodplain in portions of Marana; and
WHEREAS the revised maps disregard the flooding effects of any levee-like man-made
feature which does not meet the technical requirements of a levee; and
WHEREAS the Town believes that more detailed floodplain analysis of the affected areas
using the best available science will show significantly lower flood hazards and smaller
floodplains than is shown on the September 17 draft FEMA maps; and
WHEREAS the mere issuance of the September 17 draft FEMA maps have had an
immediate and devastating economic impact on existing property owners and home sales within
the affected areas; and
WHEREAS the Town staff must be prepared to respond on the Town's behalf to federal,
state, and local initiatives and actions relating to this FEMA re-mapping issue; and
WHEREAS the Council finds that adoption of this resolution is in the best interest of the
Town and its residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, as follows:
SECTION 1. The Town of Marana hereby requests FEMA to withdraw its September 17,
2007 draft "Pima County Levee Failure Analysis" floodplain maps for a reasonable period of
time, not less than two years, to allow more detailed floodplain studies to be submitted
concerning the affected areas.
SECTION 2. The Town of Marana hereby commits funding sufficient to undertake a
detailed floodplain analysis of the affected areas of the Town of Marana, and authorizes the
Town Manager and staff to proceed immediately with procuring the professional services
(00006667.DOC FJClcds 10122107
necessary to undertake the study and to do all other things necessary to complete the study as
quickly as possible.
SECTION 3. The Town Council hereby finds that the circumstances presented by
FEMA's release of the September 17 draft gives rise to an emergency which requires immediate
procurement of professional services to undertake the studies necessary to satisfy FEMA that the
floodplains and flood hazards depicted on the September 17 draft maps are substantially
overstated, and the Town Manager and staff are expressly authorized to use the emergency
procurement process set forth in Town Code Section 3-4-4.
SECTION 4. To the extent FEMA does not promptly fund the necessary studies, the
Town Manager and staff are hereby directed to determine an appropriate vehicle or process for
reimbursement to the Town of its costs of preparing the study authorized by this resolution, with
the objective of having those who benefit from the revised floodplain analysis ultimately pay the
cost of the necessary studies.
SECTION 5. The Town Manager and staff are hereby authorized to undertake all other
matters necessary or beneficial to determine the scientifically most accurate-possible floodplain
maps of the affected areas and to respond on the Town's behalf to initiatives and actions
presented by federal, state and local officials, as well as affected parties.
SECTION 6. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT since it is necessary for the
preservation of the peace, health and safety of the Town of Marana that this resolution become
immediately effective, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, and this resolution shall be
effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.

MEETING DATE: November 6, 2007 AGENDAITEM: J. 7
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-194: Relating to Public Works; authorizing
Town of Marana participation in the settlement of a potential
backfill soil claim for the Honea Heights Sewer Project in the
amount of up to 50% of the ultimate award; authorizing the
Mayor to send a letter on the Town's behalf regarding same; and
declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
Pima County has managed and administered the Honea Heights Sewer Project, with funding
from the U. S. Department of Agriculture rural development and the Town of Marana, to take the
Honea Heights neighborhood off of septic systems and serve the area with sanitary sewers. Be-
cause the sewer lines are located within the existing public street alignments, the specifications
for the work included minimum requirements for the soil to be used as backfill. Prospective con-
tractors were on notice when they bid the project that soil excavated from the sewer trenches
might not meet the minimum backfill specifications, and that they would need to be prepared ei-
ther to amend the removed soil before using it as backfill or to import soil for backfill.
The sewer project has now gone through two general contractors and is not yet satisfactorily
completed. In an effort to cooperate with Pima County to seek additional rural development
funding to complete the project, Pima County is asking the Town of Marana for a commitment
concerning its future participation in paying any ultimate contractor award resulting from a back-
fill soil claim. The Town of Marana Public Works staff does not believe that a contractor would
have a valid claim relating to the backfill soil since the soil requirements were clearly established
in the original contract specifications. Nevertheless, Town staff agrees that if an ultimate award
is made to a contractor relating to the backfill soil specifications and requirements, it would be
appropriate for the Town of Marana to pay half of the ultimate award.
With this item, Town staff is requesting the Council expressly to authorize the Town to pay half
of an ultimate award relating to a contractor backfill soil claim, and to authorize the Mayor to
send a letter to Pima County expressing this commitment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Public Works staff estimates that a total backfill soil claim could total as much as $712,000,
making the Town of Marana half share about $356,000.
