Farrell, Acting Town Manager SUBJECT: Resolution 2001-53 On October 4, 2001 the Town Council approved the preliminary plat for the Eagles Nest subdivision that included a stipulation requiring the abandonment of a non -vehicular access easement (NVAE) along Sunridge Drive that would enable the development of Mountain Parkway. Staff and the developer believed in the intervening time period that a formal resolution would not be necessary, so an abandonment resolution was not included on the Council's December 10, 2001 meeting when the Town Council approved the final plat for this subdivision. Since December 10, 2001 it has become apparent that a formal resolution abandoning this NVAE is necessary, and that the resolution will need to be recorded along with the numerous other documents on December 19 or 20, 2001. Due to the fact that the Council is scheduled to meet (W only once before December 19"', staff has agendized this item for the Council to consider at an extremely short regular meeting on December 18, 2001 Staff recommends Town Council approval of Resolution 2001-53. When recorded, return to: 46W Engineering Department Town of Fountain Hills P.O.

Also please state what your goals and objectives in serving on the Commission would be. Finally, please indicate your feelings about the growth and development you now see taking place in our community. Attach additional sheet, if necessary. I am interested in being on the Fountain Hills Planning & Zoning Commission for several reasons. Firstly, I live in Fountain Hills by choice because of the natural beauty, small town feel, and the excitement of watching a town develop and grow. There are so few towns in America where anyone can watch main street build with new business and architecture. I want to be a part of developing the rest of Fountain Hills. Being a well -traveled person and a long-time builder, I feel I can make a difference by being a part of the Planning and Zoning Commission. My goals and objectives are simple. Fountain Hills has been well planned and clearly has solid zoning requirements in place. I would hope to be part of the group (commission) to continue the tradition of good planning and zoning so the beauty of Fountain Hills is properly protected. The current growth and development of Fountain Hills: Being attached to the sixth largest and fourth fastest -growing city in America, it is inevitable that Fountain Hills is going to grow both with commercial and residential construction. The controlled pace of residential construction is, in my mind, about right for a town the size of Fountain Hills. Now that we are building mostly custom homes, I feel the zoning regulations are in place to assure a continuing growth and protection that the existing residents of Fountain Hills deserve. The pace of commercial growth in Fountain Hills is currently slower than I would like to see, but as new families move to Fountain Hills, the need AN WW, for more commercial growth will be naturally developed. So patience and good planning will allow the downtown area to grow and become an area of strong businesses and attractive buildings. In the event the Council allows me to serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission, my commitment to the Council and the residents of Fountain Hills is to actively participate in the Planning and Zoning Commission activities, faithfully attend both regular and special meetings, and lastly make good sound decisions. Thanks for the consideration, Dennis S.

To respect the legitimate rights of local and regional developers to develop properties by thoughtfully reviewing the value proposition of each development proposal, as well as the proposal's potential adverse impact on the community. 3. To confer with my planning & zoning colleagues on all aspects of a project and to respect opposing points of view. 4. To make decisions based on reviewing all the facts. My position on What is Currently Taking Place There are several very positive development projects recently approved and several more in the works that have received criticism from town residents. I am not sure, but perhaps town officials have failed to adequately articulate the benefits of these projects to the public when casting the approval votes. As a member, I would review the Commission's current public communications plan and make appropriate improvements.
