RE: Easement Abandonment - EA06-11
15703 E. Golden Eagle Blvd.
Plat 505A, Block 3, Lot 11
This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon portions of the ten (10’) foot public utility
and drainage easements located at the westerly property line of Plat 505A, Block 3, Lot 11, (15703 E.
Golden Eagle Blvd.) as shown in Exhibit “A”. The property owners desire the assurance that any future
improvements made to the lot will not be infringed upon by the construction of utilities.
All affected utility companies have been notified of this abandonment proposal and have approved
the proposed abandonment of this public utility easement.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the site to ascertain any drainage issues in addition to
the Town's general interest in the easement. It is the professional opinion of the Engineering
Department that there is no need for the Town to retain the drainage easement proposed to be
abandoned, with the understanding that certain lots within this subdivision are subject to lot-to-lot
drainage runoff. The property owners of Lot 11 are required to pass the developed flows generated
by the upstream lots across their property.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2006-51.

FR: Gene Slechta, Planning Technician
THR: Richard Turner, AICP
Planning and Zoning Administrator
RE: S2006-18; “Sherwood Saguaro
Condominiums.”
LOCATION: 14612 N. Sherwood Drive, aka Final Plat 104, Block 13, Lot 1.
REQUEST: Consider the Preliminary and Final Plat for the, “Final Plat Sherwood Saguaro
Condominiums” a 2-unit condominium project.
DESCRIPTION:
APPLICANT: Flora DeRose
OWNERS: Carol DeRose
EXISTING ZONING: “R-2”
EXISTING CONDITION: Built
LOT SIZE: 11,296 square feet (0.2593 acres)
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING:
NORTH: Villas at Club Mirage Condos; zoned “R-4””
SOUTH: Properties of Pacific Southwest Condominiums; zoned “R-2”
EAST: Duplex; zoned “R-2”
WEST: Single Family; zoned “R-2”
SUMMARY:
This request is for Preliminary and Final Plat approval for, “Final Plat Sherwood Saguaro
Condominiums,” an existing residential development located on the southwest corner of Sherwood
Drive and Saguaro Boulevard. The Condominium process subdivides cubic airspace, and is not a land sell
project. Due to the simplicity of this request and the fact that this project does not involve any off-site
public improvements, a "fast track" process is being allowed.
The owner, Carol DeRose, has chosen to convert a 2-unit residential development and record a Declaration
of Condominium to sell the units individually. The 2 units are 1391 square feet and each unit has 2
bedrooms.
The building was constructed in 1973, and, as a result, was built under county ordinances. Therefore, there
are several non-conforming items according to current town ordinances. They are:
• Unit B encroaches upon the 5’ minimum side setback requirement, per Section 11.10 of the
Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance
• The number of parking spaces for the two bedroom units, one, is less than the town’s
requirement of two per dwelling unit, per Section 7.04.G.1.b of the Town of Fountain Hills
Zoning Ordinance
• The number of guest parking spaces, zero, is less than the town’s requirement of .25 parking
spaces per dwelling unit, per Section 7.04.G.1.b of the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning
Ordinance
• A permanent CMU wall in the backyard crosses a P.U.E & D.E
• A wood fence, which reaches 6’ 8” in height, bordering the North side of Unit A’s backyard
L.C.E, and facing Saguaro Boulevard, exceeds the maximum height allowed inside a street
side setback, per Section 5.09.A.1. of the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance
All of the square footage is intended for residential use. The overall use meets the intention of the
underlying requirements of the R-2 zoning district.
There is a discrepancy in the “Notes” section of page 1 of the plat. Note 9 includes the words “notes 8 and
9 above”, but should have read “notes 7 and 8 above”.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of S2006-19 on October 12, 2006.
Consistent with Goal 4, Objective 4.3, of the town’s 2006-2007 action plan for implementing the
Strategic Plan, staff will provide information on population change when reviewing land use
applications. In this case, there will not be a change in population since the building is existing and is
occupied. The estimated population for the project is 5.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat, S2006-18, for “Final Plat Sherwood Saguaro
Condominiums” with the stipulation that the above discrepancy in the Notes section be corrected before
recording the final plat.

Regular Agenda Wording: Consideration of Approving a Contract with the Area Agency on Aging, Region
One, Incorporated, to provide Home Delivered Meals
Staff Recommendation: Approve Fiscal Impact: No $
Purpose of Item and Background Information: The contract with the Area Agency on Aging defines the terms
and conditions under which the Town, through the Senior Services Home Delivered Meals program, would
continue to provide meals to residents in Fountain Hills and now Rio Verde based on need. Under the contract,
the Town would be reimbursed for the provision of these meals. The HDM program is administered by the
Senior Services HDM Administrator and the meals are delivered by volunteers. Currently, about thirty meals are
delivered daily in Fountain Hills. The contract would be in force through June 30, 2007. The agreement has been
reviewed by the Town Attorney and a copy is available for review in the Town Clerk's office.
The contract covers meals that are delivered M-F, but not on holidays or the weekends. These costs are typically
largely recovered by various grants and donations that are solicited annually by Senior Services staff.

The Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Town of Fountain Hills
16705 E. Avenue of the Fountains
Fountain Hills, Arizona 85268
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
King James Residential and DER Consulting together have respectfully submitted for your
approval a concept plan and cut and fill waiver for The Retreat at Firerock.
Foremost in our minds when planning and designing this community was to maintain the
integrity of the mountain. We worked closely with the Fountain Hills staff to develop hillside
sensitive housing concepts to fit the land. The homes have multiple floor variations to negotiate
the hillside slopes of the site.
We clearly understand that cut and fill waivers are a sensitive issue to the Town. We made four
or five preliminary submittals to the Town staff and held numerous meetings with various staff
members to develop a plan that would answer all of the Town’s concerns and would be
embraced by the end consumer.
We hired a second engineer to further analyze ways of minimizing cuts and fills. We then
developed a third product type (unusual for this number of units) for the mountain top and
reduced the number of units to lesson Cut #2 and 3.
I feel the Town staff would agree with me that we have made every effort to minimize the cuts
and fill on this site and deliver a community that further supports the Towns’ vision of quality
housing.
Respectfully,
Adrien Elliott

families build a better life. In building more than 1,500 homes, including multi-family and
single family residences, the Company’s operations span throughout the western suburbs
of the Greater Cleveland Area.
In 1994, King James Residential was formed by Adrien Wallner Elliott, King James Group
founder’s daughter and CFO Richard Batt. Their primary focus was developing well
located residential communities on overlooked land parcels, selling the developed lots to
national builders. These communities included: Avalon Estates, Capel Vale and The
Glens in Westlake, Ohio. The three single family developments with a total of 178 homes
brought excellent land plan designs to the Westlake community.
In 1997, King James Residential focused on the development of a 450 single family land
parcel in Avon, Ohio. Stonebridge Creek is a residential community with single family
homes available in three different price levels from $260,000 to $400,000. This planned
unit development includes a recreation facility with an Olympic sized pool, screened picnic
area and children’s playground. Also located throughout the Stonebridge Creek
development are two children’s playgrounds and three gathering parks.
In 1999, King James Residential partnered with Deborah Ray of D.E.R. Consulting, Inc., a
25 year national consultant for residential product design, feasibility market analysis and
marketing and business strategy for builders.
The King James Residential and D.E.R. Consulting team designed and built the award
winning Astor Place community in Rocky River, Ohio. This development won the
Cleveland Choice awards for Best Brochure, Best Attached Design, Best Interior Design,
Best Exterior Architectural Condo-Cluster and Best Designed Community.
Further, in 2004, Astor Place was honored by the National Home Builder Association for
Regional Awards (Inclusive of competition in Chicago and Detroit) for Best Attached
Product, Best Attached Community of the Year, Best Brochure, Best Logo, Best Interior
Design, Best Landscape and Best Signage.
In 2005, King James Residential and D.E.R. Consulting will commence construction on
Carmel at Stonebridge, a 216 unit attached resort-style living community, continue
construction on the nearly sold out Astor Place development and their single family homes
located within the Stonebridge Creek Community.
