PARCEL 3B IN PARCEL 3 OF THE EAGLE MOUNTAIN MASTER PLAT.
Director of Community Development Gary Jeppson stated the developer had requested preliminary plat approval for
the 21-acre parcel which contained 20 platted lots and was zoned R1-6A. He said single-family detached homes
were planned and that no rezoning action was being requested. Mayor Miles asked if it was possible to re-subdivide
lots in this subdivision since the platted lots were larger than what the zoning district required. Mr. Jeppson
answered that a property owner could buy several lots and replat those lots. Mayor Miles asked Town Attorney
Farrell if the Council could prevent further sub-dividing of the plat. Mr. Farrell answered that the Council would
have the ultimate approval power in deciding whether a replat of an existing plat was appropriate. Councilwoman
Wiggishoff suggested the size of the lots should be designed to conform with the standards of the zoning district.
Steve Pritulsky, Denro Eagle Mountain Investors, LLC, represented the applicant and offered to require a covenant
through a deed restriction be prepared to prevent re-subdivision of the lots in Parcel 3-B. He said the covenant could
be completed prior to the approval of the Final Plat. He said he preferred not to change the current zoning to retain
flexibility for development.
Councilman Mower MOVED to approve the preliminary plat with the stipulation that prior to final plat approval
a covenant be recorded to prevent further re-subdivision of Parcel 3-B. Councilwoman Wiggishoff SECONDED
the motion which CARRIED unanimously.

AGENDA ITEM#12-CONSIDERATION OF RENEWING THE ANNUAL STREET MAINTENANCE AND
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS FOR: CONCRETE,ASPHALT,SLURRY SEAL,EMULSION SEAL AND
g LANDSCAPING.
1 Mayor Miles stated the contract amount in the budget had stated flg0070013$770,000 and he had noticed the total of
these contracts was$900,000. He said the increased figure was proported to be based upon the consumer price index
of 4.7% and he had researched the rate to be around 3%.
Town Engineer Randy Harrel explained that the contract authorization request for $900,000 was not a request for
actual funds but to allow a contingency in costs between contracts. He estimated a 20% flexibility between figures
for contracts based upon the amount of work completed in each work category. He said the Phoenix metropolitan
Consumer Price Index was the method of adjusting contract prices from year to year.
Councilman O'Brien asked Mr. Harrel why he couldn't work with the $770,000 amount which appeared in the
budget rather than allow extra contingency funds. Mr. Nordin suggested staff could notify the Council when the
individual contracts began to exceed the budgeted figure. Mr.Harrel assured the Council that if only the budget limit
was approved, funding requests for projects exceeding the budgeted figures was imminent.
Councilman Poma MOVED to approve the signature of the renewal of the various street maintenance and
improvement contracts with the provision that if costs exceeded the contract price, staff would notify the Council
and request further authorization. Councilman Apps SECONDED the motion which CARRIED unanimously.

INABILITY TO REPAIR WATER LEAKS IN A TIMELY FASHION.
Town Engineer Randy Harrel stated that during the last three years,Chaparral City Water Company had experienced
substantial problems with water service main and PVC piping leakages. He commended the operational field
personnel and stated the budget projections for CCWC needed to be adjusted to cover maintenance and additional
repair expenses. He estimated a $4-5 million dollar deferred maintenance program for the next 5-10 years. Mr.
Nordin reported he had been informed that there were 60 areas currently in need of repairs and completion within
the area east of Fountain Hills Boulevard. Mr. Harrel stated no time requirements concerning the timeliness for
repair of leakages existed and various pipe locations required replacement of water main lines.
Gregg Bielli, Vice President of MCO Properties and Chaparral City Water Company,offered to meet with the Town
Engineer to work out scheduled repairs and concerns. He pledged to report back to the Council. Mr. Harrel stated
he thought the main problem with the water line leakages was the polyethylene pipes and 4" Blue Bell PVC cul-de-
sac main pipes which needed to be replaced rather than repaired.
Both Councilman Poma and O'Brien asked if Mr.Nordin could provide recent figures relative to other communities'
experience with costs associated with water main pipe repairs and replacement.

disturbance allowances relative to the percent of slope. Mayor Miles asked Gary Jeppson if staff would have any
difficulty administering the amendment. Mr. Jeppson replied that staff would not. Councilman O'Brien stated
steeper hillside areas should necessitate more restrictive disturbance. Councilman Mower said this amendment would
not eliminate the hillside transfer procedures. Councilwoman Wiggishoff said she thought that using the graduated
slope approach, the disturbance calculations would be more difficult to establish. Edgar Kehe spoke in favor of
preserving the hillside areas. Margaret Gelinas said she thought the amendment should be more restrictive to prevent
total disturbance allowances regardless of whether it was in hillside areas or not. Gordon Pittsenbarger stated if road
disturbance was included, the construction area for homes would be limited. The amendment CARRIED with a 4-2
vote. Councilwoman Wiggishoff and Poma cast the nay votes.

cut and fill waivers within the streets to the Town Engineer. Councilman Apps SECONDED the amendment.
Councilwoman Wiggishoff opposed the amendment and stated incentives for developers to construct roads with the
environment would remain if cut and fill waiver requests were approved or denied at the Council level. Councilman
O'Brien and Apps agreed with Councilwoman Wiggishoff's comments. The amendment FAILED with a unanimous

vote.

to assure the Council that everything previously approved and agreed to was included. Town Attorney Farrell stated
a Resolution would be presented at the next regular Council meeting to adopt the completed updated text of the
Subdivision Ordinance.
Gordon Pittsenbarger, on behalf of the Fountain Hills Licensed Contractors Association, asked the Council to
consider the elimination of the 10' and 20' buffer zones around homes, eliminate driveway and utility trenches
from disturbance calculations along with the disturbance requirements around retaining walls. Councilman Poma

had eliminated the options of lot by lot or hillside protection easement development and stated he understood those
options were still available. Mayor Miles assured him that the options remained.
Margaret Gelinas predicted property owners building a home on an acre lot would need 15,000 square feet of
disturbance. She stated her concerns regarding the restriction of construction of larger homes on 2-acre hillside lots.
She suggested the site plan stage would be the appropriate time to calculate disturbance.
A roll call vote on the original motion to approve Ordinance 96-29 as amended was delayed by Mayor Miles who
called for a 5-minute recess to consult with counsel. Mayor Miles reconvened the meeting and voted nay on the
motion which resulted in a 4-2 vote on the motion which FAILED. Councilman Poma, Apps and Councilwoman

Councilman O'Brien suggested the Council consider allowing a certain number times the footprint but eliminating
the remainder of the calculations concerning 12,000 square feet disturbance and the minimum disturbance of 6,000
square foot lots. Mr.Jeppson suggested if the Council was changing the contents of the ordinance,the Council could
adopt Chapter 1, Section 112 which was part of Ordinance 96-36 and direct staff to reconsider the language on 5.11.

text that was advertised and advised a public hearing should be held at the Planning &Zoning Commission after it
