The hours of the event, that includes a "Super Bowl Sunday" parry, are 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Marshal Gendler has performed his background investigation and forwarded a favorable recommendation (please see attached memo from Steve). Based on statutory compliance and a "complaint/violation- free" record, staff recommends approval. .'. I age 1 of 1 Agenda Items 1/17/02 Last printed 1/11/2002 2:26 PM 1/11/2002 Fountain Hills Memorandum TO: Cassie Hansen FROM: Steve Gendler, Marsh Z,01 DATE: January 3, 2002 SUBJECT: Special Event Liquor Licenses - Knights of Columbus The purpose of this memorandum is to endorse the attached special event liquor license submitted by the Knights of Columbus for a February 3`d fundraising social. It is my understanding that this will be considered by the Council at their January 17d' meeting. Backg cr and A review of the applications indicates that the Knights of Columbus are filing for the permit under the "charitable" category. I have secured their tax-exempt number and, based on the provisions of ARS 4-203.02, they would, in effect, be awarded a class 15 license for their event. Two important provisions apply. The first is that 25% of the gross revenues from any alcohol sales must go to the charitable organization if applicable; and, second, that the alcohol must be purchased from a qualified off -premise sale source rather than a wholesaler. The requirement that the alcohol be purchased from a qualified retailer is outlined in R19-1-250(a) and specifies that the source have a class 6,7,9, or 10 license such as Price Club, Bashas, or Safeway. Qualifying organizations that apply for special event liquor permits are restricted to a total of 10 days per year under the provisions of R19-1-244. According to our records, this application is the first submitted by the Knights of Columbus this year and represents only one of the 10 days allowed. Access Control One of the law enforcement considerations in any public event involving liquor is ensuring that minors do not have access to intoxicating beverages. In reviewing the application, I have found that they have adequate provisions to restrict access at the entrance and patio as well as control distribution of alcoholic beverages from a single dispensing location. In addition, based on our previous experience with the Knights of Columbus events using the same security provisions, our records indicate no complaints or liquor related violations. Recommendation Given that the Knights of Columbus qualifies as an exempt organization; the fact that the applicant, Frank Ferrara is familiar with liquor regulations, and that the Knights of Columbus are in compliance with the provisions of ARS 4-203.02, I recommend approval by the Council at their January 17d' meeting. f ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF LIQUOR LINE�W6CONTROL 800 W Washington 5th Floor DEC 2 8 2001400 W Congress #150 Phoenix AZ 85007 Tucson AZ 85701 (602) 542-5141 ' FOUNTAIN HILLS (520) 628-6595 TOWN CLERK APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL EVENT LICENSE Fee = $25.00 per day, for 1-10 day events only A service fee of $25.00 will be charged for all dishonored checks (_AR.S. 44-6852) PLEASE NOTE: THIS DOCUMENT MUST BE FULLY COMPLETED OR IT WILL BE RETURNED. 1.

Ashbrook Drive Plat 111, Block 7, Lot 8 James A. Tant This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon the twenty (20) foot public utility and drainage easements located at the southerly property line of Lot 8, Block 7, Plat 111, (16617 E. Ashbrook Drive) as shown in Exhibit "A". The property owner of Lot 8 desires the assurance that any future improvements made to the lot will not be infringed upon by the construction of utilities. Staff has received no comments to date from the adjacent property owners. 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 owner of Lot 8 is required to pass the developed flcws generated by the upstream lots across their property. All affected utility companies have been notified of this abandonment proposal and have approved of the proposed abandonment of this public utility easement.

Hansen, Town Clerk PASS AIL _1 MOTION SECOND c, 1 COUNT 7--0 January 11, 2002 _ Interoffice Memo To: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL From: CASSIE HANSEN, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION Date: 1/11/2002 Re: AGENDA ITEM #8 - AWARDING COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUNDS AGENDA ITEM #9 - CALLING THE MAY ELECTION AGENDA ITEM #8 - AWARDING COMMUNTIY BENEFIT FUNDS A citizen committee of eight is scheduled to meet next Wednesday, January 16 at 1:00 p.m. to discuss the Community Benefit applications and formulate a distribution recommendation for Council consideration on the 17th. The staff report will be delivered to you as soon as I can type up the committee's recommendation, hopefully late Wednesday afternoon. I have included the cover memo distributed to the committee as well as a spread sheet that shows funding history and current requests. A total of $132,950 has been requested by fourteen organizations. AGENDA ITEM #9 - RESOLUTION 2002-04, CALLING THE MAY 215T ELECTION Mr. Farrell is working on a comprehensive staff report explaining the somewhat complex issues that will appear on the May 21St election if the Council approves Resolution 2002-04. The two items will include the primary property tax issue to fund the fire protection services and the permanent adjustment of the expenditure base limitation necessary to expend the additional funds. Bill will have both the resolution and the memo ready for distribution next week. Page 1 of 1 Agenda Items 1/17/02 Last printed 1/11/2002 3:42 PM 1/11/2002 MEMO TO: COMMUNITY BENEFITS COMMITTEE Andrea Bell Wally Nichols O Ivan Dahl Lee Robinson o Dan Davis Bev Tall a Patty Eatontsr to FROM: CASSIE HANSEN, DIRECTOR OF ADMINIS ti �14W is DATE: DECEMBER 28, 2001 RE: REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUNDING Thank you for agreeing to serve on the committee to review the Community Benefit funding requests for fiscal year 2001/2002. The Council depends on the services of local residents to participate in the Community Benefit Funding Program that was initiated in its current format four years ago. During the budget process, the Council approves an amount of funding to be awarded to non-profit organizations and groups that benefit Fountain Hills residents. Following the final budget adoption in August, the public notice period begins, inviting applications for funding. This year, a public notice appeared in the Times, on the Town's website and on Channel 1 I throughout the month of September. The deadline to submit applications was Monday, October 1, 2001. Thirteen applications were received by the October 1 deadline while one was received on October 2. In the past, late applications have been accepted for review and consideration by the committee. Last year, due to expenditure limitation considerations, available funding was reduced to $40,000. We are pleased to inform you that the committee once again has $80,000 to distribute. Even though more funds are available, your task will still be challenging because the fourteen requests total $132,950. Application amounts vary significantly, ranging from $1,500 (Falcon Leadership) to $35,000 (Food Bank). Four of the applications, CASS, the Food Bank, Golden Eagle and the Community Theater, total $92,500 or approximately 69.5% of the total requests. Your packet includes a copy of the public notice that was posted and published in the Times. Also included is a copy of the application format that contains the criteria requirements. You might find it helpful to review these documents prior to reading the applications. Along with the other materials in your packet, there is a summary sheet that shows the allocation history for the last four years as well as the current requests. It will be the Committee's task to review the applications, determine eligibility, assess how well the criteria has been met, and recommend funding amounts. While the Community Benefits Funding Program operates under the assumption that all non-profit groups benefit the community, the committee will need to consider the overall benefit and determine what portion of the community is served. Committees in the past have also considered criteria such as the specific detaiWjustification of the request, successful completion of previously funded projects, and the ongoing debate of funding operations versus projects. Most of the applicants indicated a willingness to personally address the Committee if asked to do so. Although most applications appeared to provide all information required in the application format, please let me know if you have additional questions. If a majority of the committee would like to speak to any of the applicants, we will arrange to have them present at the meeting. To insure that all members of the committee have the same information, please do not contact the applicants directly. Bev Bender or Jane Robinson will be contacting you within the next couple of days to set up a meeting for the Committee to share and discuss ideas and thoughts on distribution. If possible, I would like the recommendation to go before the Council on January 17. Thank you again for volunteering to participate in this process. If there is any additional information that you feel would be helpful in the decision making process, or if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 816-5104 or email me at: chansen@fh.az.gov. 4 D I 0 N O R .a C CU E O C) a) � d N +% E 0 � U N N � O O N N r O � O c N N 10 = R O O A O y-00 6s y O O O O O O CD CD CD O CD CD CD CD C4 4.

Maricopa County uses its portion of your property tax to pay for County services like the Superior Court system and the Sheriff's Office. Public safety and health, transportation, and emergency services could not exist without the funding provided by property taxes. Your "Notice of Value" is not a bill, but a document that contains important information about your property and its value, which will be used to determine your taxes. It is the Maricopa County Assessor's job to identify and appraise all real estate and business personal property throughout Maricopa County and then notify the owners of our findings through the "Notice of Value". Throughout the year, appraisers who are employees of the Assessor's Office travel throughout the county gathering property information to determine its value. The results of their efforts are shown on the "Notice of Value". When you receive the "Notice of Value", the first thing you should notice is the Tax Year. This is the year in which your tax payment for this valuation will be due. Remember, the valuation notice is not a bill. You will receive a tax bill from the County Treasurer's Office in September of the tax year specified here. The Parcel ID number or APN identifies the parcel for taxing purposes and should always be used when making inquiries with the Assessor's Office. Tth%..otice Date is the mail date of the valuation notice. This date is important if you plan to appeal the full cash value of your property. The completed appeal form (DOR 82130) must be filed with the Assessor within 60 days of the printed notice date. http://,Aww.maricopa.gov/assessor/notice_value.asp 1 /12/2002 En ro N r-i a V) a� x ro +J 0 w 0 ro a 0 I~ 0 .A ra U .11 w N V) rd U Ln 00 .

Full Cash Value is a reflection of the market value of your property. In some cases, it is less than market value to accommodate me " -natical models adopted by the Department of Revenue. **.. Limited Value is used to determine primary taxes. Limited Value is calculated according to a statutory formula mandated by the Arizona State Legislature. Limited Value cannot exceed Full Cash Value. Legal Class determines the Assessment Ratio. Residential properties are assessed at a 10% ratio. The assessment ratio times the value equals the assessed value. The assessed value is then used by the County Treasurer to calculate your tax bill. Legal Class is determined by the use of the property. Class 3 is an owner occupied residence. If it is residential rental property, the legal class would be class 4. Other classes of property are assessed at different ratios. Individual parcels may have more than one use. Such parcels will have a "mixed ratio" applied to the total value. EXEMPTIONS If you are widowed or disabled, you may qualify for a property tax exemption. A taxpayer applying for an exemption must submit required documentation to the Assessor's Office between the first Monday in January and March 1st each year. If you are over 65 you may qualify for Senior homeowner protection, which freezes the value of the residence of low-income seniors. You must re -apply every three years. APPEALS If you believe the full cash value of your property is higher than what you could sell it for in the market today, you may wish to file a "Petition for Review of Valuation." The appeal forms (DOR 82130) are available at any Assessor's Office or Online, and must be returned by the appeal deadline printed on your notice of value.

As discussion began on the first organization, it was very evident that each member of the Committee had thoroughly reviewed the applications and labored over funding levels. One of the members shared a Funding Criteria list that the other members felt comfortable with and used throughout the review process. The list included the following items: 1 . Money stays in Fountain Hills. 2. Organization doesn't discriminate. 3. Grant benefits needy individuals. 4. Grant benefits seniors. 5. Grant benefits Fountain Hills youth. 6. Organization is broad based and grant will benefit many, not a few. 7. Consider other major funding provided by the Town. 8. There is no requirement to give every applicant a grant. 9. Consider organization's current financial condition (cash in bank). 10. Consider items on organization's proposed operating statement. Page 1 of 5 Cassie Hansen 1 /17/2002 Last printed 1/17/2002 11:25 AM January 17, 2002 Committee members shared personal experiences that they had had with specific groups, providing insight to the information provided in the applications. Members felt that some of the applications were not as complete as they should be and this was reflected in some of the ultimate recommendations. They felt this would help to emphasize the importance of providing all of the requested information in the application process. After a very comprehensive two-hour discussion, the Committee members reached a very strong consensus that all firmly supported. They discussed the fact that their recommendation included no funding for some of the requests. While they realized that their decision might not be popular, they felt justified in their collective decision based on the criteria used. Their ultimate recommendation strongly emphasized projects that benefit the youth, seniors, disabled, hungry and homeless. The fourteen applications along with funding requests and recommendations are listed below followed by a short summary of the Committee's rationale. Attached to this memo is a summary of the requested projects. ORGANIZATION REQUEST RECOMMENDATION Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS) $13,000 $13,000 Fountain Hills Community Theater $20,000 $20,000 St. Dominic's Food Bank $35,000 $15,000 Golden Eagle Foundation $24,500 $1 5,000 Cub Scout Pack 243 $ 2,000 $ 500 FH HS Leadership Team $ 1,500 $ 1,500 Girl Scouts $ 2,400 $ 2,000 Falcon Fiesta $ 2,000 $ 2,000 FH Historical Society $ 8,300 $ 0 FH Arts Council $ 6,000 $ 0 Ftn. Lake Republican Women $ 6,000 $ 6,000 Soccer Club $ 2,000 $ 1,000 Center D.O.A.R. $ 8,000 $ 4,000 FH Civic Association $ 2,250 $ 0 Total $132,950 $80,000 CASS: During their preliminary discussion of CASS, the Committee "penciled in" a funding amount of $6,000. Some members had personally visited CASS and described their comprehensive operations, including a dental facility set up in a trailer where valley dentists volunteer their time to provide dental services to the homeless. After discussing all of the other applications, the group re -addressed the merits of CASS and increased their recommendation to the full amount of $13,000. They felt it was a vital resource that could be used by both Law Enforcement agencies, local churches and the Food Bank for referrals. One member gave an example where the Food Bank paid to house a homeless individual at the Comfort Inn when they could have been referred to CASS. They felt CASS was a very legitimate, well - organized operation that also benefited the community by benefiting the valley. The Committee was very comfortable with their final recommendation of $13,000. 2 January 17, 2002 FH COMMUNITY THEATER: Preliminary discussion of the Theater's request resulted in a draft recommendation of $15,000. The Committee recognized the Theater as the main cultural asset of Fountain Hills, known and recognized throughout the valley. They were very supportive of the growing number of youth programs offered as well as the increased presence of the children's theater and performances. The issue was brought up regarding the Theater's recent acquisition of the old community center and the possibility that that should be considered in the equation. The majority of the Committee felt that should not be a factor because the additional space will only increase the Theater's ability to provide quality services to the community. One of the members stressed the importance of training youth in areas outside academics, citing that this was one of the Theater's significant contributions. When revisiting the draft amounts, the Committee unanimously agreed to increase their recommendation to the full $20,000 requested. FOOD BANK: Although committees have traditionally supported the Food Bank requests in the past, this Committee expressed concerns with the lack of information on the current application. Members cited the Food Bank's shortfall this past year and questioned the telephone/computer line item expense that was associated with the radio station. They felt that expenditures should be concentrated in providing food to those in need. The Committee felt the administrative costs were heavy and questioned why the Food Bank did not solicit funding from the surrounding communities whose citizens come to Fountain Hills and use the Food Bank. In light of their discussion, the Committee felt comfortable with allocating $15,000 to the Food Bank in their preliminary discussion. They did not change this allocation during the final review. GOLDEN EAGLE FOUNDATION: The Golden Eagle Foundation requested a total of $24,500 for eight different programs. In their preliminary discussion, the Committee chose to specifically support five of these programs totaling $15,000. The Committee's rationale included the fact that the Foundation funded multiple projects that benefited the community's youth and that many of their projects were not funded by the School District. Although citing that the programs were not specifically explained, the Committee recommended funding the following projects: the Student Training - Thinking for Rational Action in the amount of $4,000; Student Participation in National History Day in the amount of $2,500; Technology Intern Program in the amount of $2,500; and Library Improvement Programs in the amount of $6,000. The Committee supported these programs due to the benefit to the community's youth and the reputation of the Golden Eagle Foundation but they did express the desire for more detailed programming information in the future. When the Committee reviewed their preliminary allocations, they stayed with their original recommendation of $15,000 for the Golden Eagle Foundation. CUB SCOUT PACK 243: The Committee's discussion on this request included difficulty with some of the national organization's policies and the local group's financial condition. They felt that the group's practice of "saving" funds in CD's could be better used for current scouting purposes and 3 January 17, 2002 needs. As a result, the Committee recommended an amount of $500 to assist in the �. camperships. FALCON LEADERSHIP: This request received unanimous support from the Committee. They were all aware of this exceptional mentoring program that will be presented at two national conventions and unanimously supported an amount of $1 ,500 to send two students to assist in the presentation. FOUNTAIN HILLS GIRL SCOUTS: Although there was a question regarding the differential in the reported expenses, the Committee recommended a funding amount of $2,000. This amount did not change in the second review. FALCON FIESTA: Although one member expressed a problem with some of the methods used to keep the students at the event, the majority of the Committee heartily endorsed $2,0000 for this annual event for the graduating seniors. FH HISTORICAL SOCIETY: The Committee felt that the Town's $210,000 commitment to the Historical Society and museum was significant and therefore did not recommend any additional funds for the group. FH ARTS COUNCIL: The Committee questioned the overall benefit of the funds requested for music to augment the Celebrate the Fountain. They also noted the relationship of the Arts Council with the Civic Association and their requested funding for music programs. They expressed concern that this may be a duplication since the two groups are associated. While recognizing the community benefit of the Celebration of the Fountain event as a gathering place, they felt it was a significant benefit for a limited number of merchants and commercial in purpose. The Committee did not support this request at this time. CIVIC ASSOCIATION: Although the Committee recognized the varied contributions of the Civic Association, they felt the requests were already adequately funded by the Association and recommended no funds at this time. FOUNTAIN LAKE REPUBLICAN CLUB: The Committee unanimously supported this request to sponsor the purchase of a specific list of books needed for the Four Peak Elementary School library in the amount of $6,000. FH SOCCER CLUB: While supporting activities for youth after school, the Committee expressed concern at some of the proposed uses for the funds. Rather than financing room rentals for coach training, they expressed the desire that all proceeds go to the youth in the program. They recommended an amount of $1,000. 4 January 17, 2002 CENTER D.O.A.R.: r.. Like CASS, Center D.O.A.R. is a valley organization that provides a resource for Fountain Hills' residents. While some members felt the request was a bit high compared to what larger cities contribute, they supported this service provided through the local Senior Center. As one member stated, "all Senior Services has to do is call D.O.A.R. and they will help." On their second review, the Committee was still comfortable with their original recommendation of $4,000. It was clear by their in-depth discussion on each request that the Committee was committed to providing the Council with a recommendation that they felt best served the community. As mentioned earlier, the Committee felt the community was best served by providing funding that benefited the youth, seniors, disabled, hungry and homeless. Their recommendation reflects these priorities. I would like to personally commend the Committee on their willingness to make some difficult decisions and express my appreciation for their collective and individual effort. The stack of applications looked very much like a "long agenda Council packet" and it was clear that they had all read every page. apologize for providing you with the staff report at the "eleventh hour" but the Committee could not meet until Wednesday afternoon and I wanted to attempt to present their deliberations as accurately as possible. If you have any questions or would like to see the applications in their entirety, please do not hesitate to contact me. The Committee was very much aware that their recommendation is simply that - a recommendation. Staff is prepared to proceed with distribution in whatever allocation the Council approves. 0 COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUNDS REQUESTS/RECOMMENDATIONS 2001 /2002 ORGANIZATION PURPOSE OF REQUEST SUB- REQUEST RECOMMEN- TOTAL AMOUNT DATION CASS To contribute Fountain Hills' pro rata share of 50% of CASS's total budget to provide emergency shelter and support services to homeless men, women and children in the valley. $13,000 $1 3,000 FH Community Theater To provide general operational support and maintenance and to insure the continuation and expansion of their varied youth programs and productions. $20,000 $20,000 St. Dominic's Food Bank To fund approximately 28% of the basic operating expenses of food, rent, utilities, supplies and insurance. $35,000 $15,000 Golden Eagle Foundation Student Training - Thinking for Rational Action $4,000 Golden Eagle Foundation Student Participation in National History Day $2,500 Golden Eagle Foundation Technology Intern Program $2,500 Golden Eagle Foundation Staff Recognition Program $2,000 C-1-len Eagle Foundation National Teacher Certification Program $2,000 46..,en Eagle Foundation Library Improvement Program- $1,000/school $4,000 Golden Eagle Foundation Senior Services Course Scholarships $1,500 Golden Eagle Foundation Library programs $6,000 Golden Eagle Foundation Subtotal $24,500$24,500 $1 5,000 Cub Scout Pack 243 To provide camperships to the youth membership and fund operating expenses. $2,000 $500 Falcon Leadership To provide airfare, meals and lodging for two students to attend two national conventions and help present the Falcon Leadership Team Student Mentoring Program to 6,000 principals and administrators from across the country. $1,500 $1,500 FH Girl Scouts To purchase new leader and activity books for $100 a redesigned junior level program.

Farrell, Acting Town Manager SUBJECT: Consideration of Ordinance 02-01 On December 20, 2001 the Town of Fountain Hills acquired ownership of 354 acres of land in the McDowell Mountains of Fountain Hills to culminate the Town's efforts over the past several years to create and expand the Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve (FHMMP). On January 3, 2001 the Town Council adopted Resolution 2002-01 that added these 354 acres to the existing FHMMP that now totals 740 acres. Over the past two months the McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission (MMPC) has worked to develop a set of rules and regulations for the FHMMP. The MMPC met several times to discuss their vision and prepared a draft ordinance, intended for inclusion in The Fountain Hills Town Code, that establishes these regulations. The Commission reviewed draft regulations under consideration in Scottsdale, and existing regulations in other neighboring cities and towns, and Ordinance 02-01 represents the desire and vision of the MMPC for the FHMMP. On January 3, 2002 the Town Council discussed a draft version of Ordinance 02-01 and provided staff with several suggestions to improve the ordinance. Those changes have been made by the MMPC and are reflected on the version of Ordinance 02-01 attached to this memorandum. Staff and members of the MMPC will be present at the January 17, 2002 Town Council meeting to respond to questions. Staff and the MMPC recommend Town Council approval of Ordinance 02-01.

Hansen, Town Clerk REVI WED BY: ^ William E. Farrell, Acting Town Manager 1] • APPROVED AS TO FORM - William E. Farrell, Town Attorney Page 5 of 5 Town of Fountain Hills Memorandum DATE: January 17, 2002 TO: The Mayor and Town Council FROM: Jesse Drake, Senior Long Range Planner JD SUBJECT: Consideration of an amendment to Chapter 6, Section 6.03.C.6, Section 6.07.C.4 and 6.07.D.5 of The Zoning Ordinance for the Town of Fountain Hills to add new language that would modify the requirements for menu boards for drive-in or drive -through restaurants to allow larger menu boards, and to allow the use of liquid crystal display (LCD) order play -back units to be installed as a part of the menu board, or adjacent to the menu board. The Mayor has requested that the Town Council initiate an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to modify the requirements for menu boards for drive-in or drive -through restaurants. Several menu boards have been installed in the community without proper building permits and are currently in violation of the zoning ordinance. Part of the reason for the request for the amended language has come about by a change in technology in the menu board system used by some franchise companies. Menu boards have increased in size because vendors are using visual graphics in place of, and in addition to, text on the menu boards. In addition to the graphic displays, vendors are providing a liquid crystal display (LCD) order confirmation unit that uses a scrolling text readout that replays the requested order. The LCD unit is an attempt to reduce errors in orders and shows the customer a visual readout of the order total. The amended language would in the allowable size of the menu board square footage from the current maximum of twenty. (20) square feet, to a maximum of forty-five (45) square feet, and increase the allowable height of the menu board to be increased from five (5) feet to seven (7) feet. In addition, the amended language would allow the addition of an LCD order confirmation unit, with moveable text readout, to be displayed as a part of the menu board, or to be added as a separate unit, not to exceed eighteen inches wide by eighteen inches deep by four feet high. Since the proposed change would permit menu boards more than twice the existing allowable size, and the boards would be exempt from signage limitations, a visibility restriction has been added. The existing menu -board sign sizes are: Arbys 36.13 sf Burger King 40.67 sf McDonalds 43.61 sf with LCD Senor Taco 13.44 sf Taco Bell 43.27 sf Wendys 34.98 sf Planning and Zoning Commission Memorandum Sign -Menu Board/LCD January 4, 2002 Page 2 of 4 Staff has surveyed the existing sign ordinance regulations in regard to menu boards in eight Phoenix metro area communities. The results of the survey are as follows: ■ Apache Junction -the LCD unit is not allowed. ■ Chandler -menu board and LCD permitted if not directed to or readable from the street. ■ Gilbert -the LCD unit is not allowed, but could be permitted as a part of a Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan for a large commercial development. ■ Glendale -menu board and LCD permitted up to maximum of 45 sq. ft./6 ft. high. ■ Mesa -menu board and LCD allowed up to 45 sq. ft./6 ft. high, if not readable from the street and not visible from the property line. ■ Phoenix -all signs not meeting the zoning district criteria require a Use Permit or Variance. Menu boards must be screened from the street or are considered ground signs. ■ Scottsdale- the LCD unit is not allowed, menu board limited to 24 sq. ft./5 ft. high. ■ Tempe -the LCD unit is not allowed, menu board limited to 20 sq. ft./6 ft. high. Two sections in Chapter Six of the current Zoning Ordinance will need modification: Section 6.03 General Regulations to allow the use of moveable text on the LCD order confirmation unit; and Section 6.07 to change the size of the menu board and to allow the use of the LCD as a part of the menu board system. Below is the proposed amendment to Chapter 6, Section 6.03.C.6, Section 6.07.C.4 and 6.07.D.5 of The Zoning Ordinance for the Town of Fountain Hills: (deleted text has st- ikethfoug13 and added text is underlined) 6.03 General Regulations C. Signs not specifically authorized herein are prohibited, including, but not limited to the following. 1. Sandwich signs except as otherwise provided (See temporary signs). 2.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS STAFF REPORT JANUARY 10, 2002 CASE NO.: S2001-27 LOCATION: Eagle Mountain Parcel 10/11, Tract G, east of Westwind Drive between Fireridge trail and Palisades Boulevard. REQUEST: Consideration of the Final Plat of a replat of Tract "G" in the Eagle Mountain Parcel 10/11 subdivision and Resolution 2001-54 to abandon portions of a Non - Vehicular Access Easement along Westwind Drive. PROJECT MANAGER: Jeff Valder C3AJ DESCRIPTION: OWNER: Eagle Mountain Investors L.L.C. APPLICANT: Eagle Mountain Investors L.L.C. EXISTING ZONING: "RI-6A" PARCEL SIZE: 4.34 Acres PROPOSED NUMBER OF LOTS: 2 SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: NORTH: Platted land within the Eagle Mountain Parcel 10/11 subdivision, zoned "RI-6A." SOUTH: Platted land within the Eagle Mountain Parcel 13 subdivision, zoned "R1-10A." EAST: The Firerock Country Club Golf Course, zoned "OSR." WEST: The Eagle Mountain Golf Course, zoned "OSR." SUMMARY: On December 4, 2001 the Town Council approved the preliminary plat for this subdivision. At the Town Council meeting on November 15, 2001, the Council continued their consideration of this preliminary plat so that Eagle Mountain and other neighboring property owners could be notified of the proposed subdivision. All property owners within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision were mailed a courtesy notice informing them that the Town Council would, at your December 4, 2001 meeting, consider the preliminary plat for this proposed subdivision, as well as the administrative nature of this approval. Those property owners did participate at that meeting. Staff has also spoken with two members of the Eagle Mountain Property Owners Association and has provided them with information regarding this application. The item was also continued so that the Town could confirm that Eagle Mountain Investors L.L.C. was the property owner. The Town has received confirmation that Eagle Mountain Investors L.L.C. is, in fact, the property owner. Please see the attached Condition of Title Report from Fidelity National Title Insurance Company. Town Council Staff Report Eagle Mountain Parcel 10/11 Tract G FP January 10, 2002 Page 4 This request by Eagle Mountain Investors L.L.C. is for approval of a final plat for a 4.34-acre subdivision of Tract "G" in the Eagle Mountain This is a fairly simple request, although there are a number of comments from the Engineering Department that will need to be addressed prior to final plat recordation. The applicant is proposing to split Tract "G" into two developable lots. Due to Los Altos Hills Development agreement, there are no subdivision -required hillside disturbance regulations. At the time of building permit application the then owners of the lots will be required to meet the Land Disturbance Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Tract "G" is now zoned "RI-W'. There are no hillside protection easements on the property and there have been no representations from the developer to the Town that Tract "G" would be left as open space. Staff considers Tract "G" to be developable, and that the two lots proposed can be accommodated on this 4.34- acre parcel. Non -Vehicular Access Easement The property owner has also applied for the abandonment of portions of the existing Non -Vehicular Access Easement along Westwind Drive so that the two future driveways to the proposed lots can be developed, and to satisfy one stipulation of the Town's preliminary plat approval. Staff recommends Town Council approval of the Attached resolution 2001-54 that will abandon portions of that existing Non -Vehicular Access Easement. A draft graphic is attached to Resolution 2001-54, and a final graphic will be forwarded top the Council next week. Recommendation On October 25, 2001 the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-1 to recommend Town Council approval of S2001-27. Staff also recommends Town Council approval of the final plat, S2001-27 with the following stipulations: 1. Prior to final pat recordation: • Comply with all applicable preliminary plat stipulations. • Gain Town Council approval of a partial abandonment of the existing VNAE along Westwind Drive. The Westwind drive right-of-way width may be adjusted on the plat or by separate instrument. • On the final plat show a 30-foot wide No Build Easement, having the same restrictions as a front -yard setback, along the entire frontage of Lots 64 and 65.

January 11, 2002 Staff has combined the reports for this special use and preliminary plat. This is a request by MCO Properties and Hallcraft Homes, to receive a special use permit and preliminary plat approval for a 36-unit condominium project. The site is located on Lot 8 of Town Center 1 Final Plat. On January 10`h, 2002, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended Town Council approval of the special use and preliminary plat with a 5-1 vote. Staff anticipates citizen opposition to this request, from some residents of Villa Estates. Please see the attached staff report for further details. If you have any questions regarding this request, I can be reached at (480) 816-5138. 16836 East Palisades Boulevard, Building C — P.O.

DESCRIPTION: OWNER: MCO Properties, L.P. APPLICANT: Hallcraft Homes, Gene Baker, President EXISTING ZONING: "C-2" Intermediate Commercial Zoning District SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: NORTH: Undeveloped parcel, then Bashas Plaza; zoned "C-2" SOUTH: Villa Estates multi -family residential (SU99-01); zoned "C-2" EAST: U.S. Federal Post Office; zoned "C-2" WEST: Undeveloped lot; zoned "C-2" SUMMARY: Staff has combined the reports for the Special Use permit and preliminary plat for "Town Center Crossing Condominiums", a 36 unit multiple -family gated subdivision with a common pool amenity. This request by MCO Properties L.P. and Hallcaraft Homes, is for a Special Use Permit to allow the proposed residential development in the "C-2" Zoning District and for preliminary plat approval. This project has been designed in conformance with the "M-3" Multiple -Family Residential Zoning District requirements. The maximum density allowed by the "M-3" Zoning District and the 1997 Town Center Development Agreement for this lot is 38 units ( 12 du per acre ). The applicant is proposing a density of 11.16 dwelling units per acre. The proposed site plan meets all zoning regulations, including minimum building setbacks, and maximum height requirements. There is a single one-way loop road with ingress located toward the west property line and egress adjacent to the east property line. Both ingress and egress locations are gated, with a knox box and P&Z Commission and Staff Report SU01-14 & SO1-26 "Town Center Crossing Condominiums." January 17th, 2002 Page 2 opticom sensors for emergency vehicle access. The total parking required for this project is 81, two of which must be handicap accessible. Each unit has an attached one -car garage that is setback a minimum of 19' from the back of sidewalk or back of curb, whichever is closer, to allow space for tandem parking (units 204, 205 and 206 need slight rotation to meet this requirement). There are 25 uncovered spaces, and 20 additional covered parking spaces adjacent to the east property line building setback. This preliminary plat proposes five separate buildings, a pool amenity and a looping sidewalk that connects to the existing sidewalk along the Avenue of the Fountains. The site plan proposes an 8' perimeter wall surrounding the site, with exception to a 3.5' wall within the minimum front building setback. The dwellings are single -level stacked units with living areas ranging from 1,212 to 1,963 square feet. Staff finds this use to be appropriate and consistent with the surrounding land uses. MCO Realty has reassured Town staff that Lot 3 and 4, located to the west of this project, will also be developed as multi -family residential (see attached letter dated November 2, 2001). The land disturbance requirements of the Town of Fountain Hills Subdivision Ordinance were met at the time of the Town Center I Final Plat. This lot is allowed one hundred percent disturbance. F,vahintion Staff has received one phone call in opposition to this project. A resident of Villa Estates, located directly south of this site, expressed concern that the units will be obstructing the existing views from Villa Estates. This condominium project proposes a maximum building height of 24.8 feet for all buildings with exception to the covered parking structure located along the east property boundary. The finished floor elevations of the proposed condominiums are at minimum five feet lower in elevation than the Villa Estates Condominiums. A commercial project on this site would be allowed a maximum building height of 40 feet. The Town Center Crossing Condominiums project proposes a considerable reduction from the maximum allowed building height of the "C-2" Zoning District. At the January 10t', 2002 Planning & Zoning Commission hearing, the Commission recommended Town Council approval of this special use and preliminary plat with a 5-1 vote. Commissioner Downes believes this project is too congested with buildings, and due to the size of the living units, he thought the project may be under -parked. Therefore, Commissioner Downes voted against this special use and preliminary plat. �11 P&Z Commission and Staff Report SU01-14 & S01-26 "Town Center Crossing Condominiums." January 17'', 2002 Page 3 The Planning & Zoning Commission and Staff recommend Town Council approval of the special use permit and preliminary plat for "Town Center Crossing Condominiums", with the following stipulations: 1) All improvement plans, such as landscaping, irrigation, grading and drainage plans along with a construction assurance bond must be approved by the Town prior to final plat approval. 2) Provide a geotechnical report, which will include percolation tests within the retention basins. 3) Provide a traffic report/analysis to justify the design parameters and the need for the median cut and left turn pocket lane on Avenue of the Fountains, and the required stacking distance in front of the gate. 4) Provide a revised civil engineer prepared site plan and drainage report complying with all preliminary plat comments, prior to final plat. 5) Revise the proposed mailbox location so it will not obstruct vehicular traffic entering the subdivision. 6) Provide a knox lock override and opticom sensor for emergency access at the west entrance gate. 11 tO Custom PROPER:�S November 2, 2001 Jeff Valder, AICP Town of Fountain Hills 16538 E. Palisades Blvd. Fountain Hills, Arizona 85268 Re: Town Center I & H Dear Jeff: Hallcraft Homes (Gene Baker) is currently under contract with MCO Properties to purchase Lot 8 in Town Center I. In a recent discussion with Gene Baker, he indicated that the Planning Department is requiring a 20 foot landscape easement along the western property line of Lot 8, due to the commercial zoning designation currently in place on Lot 3 of Town Center II. As you know, per the 1997 Town Center Development Agreement, commercial land within the downtown area is allowed to be utilized for multi -family residential via the "special use" approval process. MCO and its buyer/builders determine up front which commercial sites are to be utilized for condos and townhomes and include such language in our sales contracts. We even go so far as to recording a "Memorandum of Understanding" with the county. A copy of the Memorandum and sales contract for Lot 3 are enclosed for your review. As a matter of communication, each year after downtown commercial properties are sold to residential developers, I send you and your planners an update letter (see enclosed) so you know which properties will be residential and what density MCO has agreed to. In summary, multi -family residential is proposed for both Lots 3 and 8. The housing project planned for Lot 3 went through "tech review" last month, and Gene Baker has reviewed his Lot 8 housing project with you several times during the last four months. Based on the fact that both properties are to be residential, the 20 foot landscape easement is not necessary for either lot along the said western property line. I believe there is a way to approve both site plans contingent upon the adjacent property being developed as residential. Please call me if further discussion is needed on the above issue.

Farrell, Acting Town Manager Dana Burkhardt, Senior Planner�� Resolution 2002-06; Case # HPE2001-01; Hillside Protection Easement Modification January 11th 2002 This is a request by Father Thomas O'Dea and the Church of the Ascension, to modify the existing Hillside Protection Easement (HPE) on Lot 1, Final Plat Town Center H. The purpose for this modification is to allow greater flexibility for the proposed design of the future church development. The existing Hillside Protection Easement located on this lot was platted in 1998 with the Town Center II Final Plat. The existing HPE satisfies the entire hillside preservation requirement for the Town Center H subdivision. At the time this property was platted, the subdivider could not determine the needs of the future property owners. Staff allows the reconfiguration of the HPE's, given that the applicant can provide the Town with an equal or greater amount of undisturbed land area for each of the slope categories as defined in Article 504(A) of the Subdivision Ordinance. The proposed HPE meets the existing HPE slope areas in the 20% and steeper slope categories. The proposed HPE for slopes between 10-20% has been increased by approximately 15,349.09 square feet, and the 0-10% slopes have been decreased by that same amount. This means that the proposed HPE will provide 15,349 square feet of steeper slopes than currently exists. The HPE area to be abandoned is located within the lot, with little exposure to the adjacent rights - of -way and properties. The proposed HPE dedication will preserve slopes along El Lago Boulevard, where it is visible to the public from both the right-of-way and the properties to the south. If you have any questions regarding this request, I can be reached at (480) 816-5138. Attachments: 1) Resolution 2002-06 2) Slope analysis 16836 East Palisades Boulevard, Building C — P.O.

Nicklaus Dr. DATE: January 10, 2002 Pursuant to Section 5.13A(3) of the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance, Rick Ribail is requesting that the Town Council approve a wood picket fence in lieu of the solid masonry, concrete, or earthen product screen wall required for RV and trailer storage. Section 5.13A(3) of the Zoning Ordinance states: "Such vehicles must be behind a six (6) foot high solid masonry, concrete or earthen product wall. Further, any access gates shall be constructed of view -obscuring materials to provide effective site screening. Approval of the alternative screening methods not listed above shall be by the Council." Due to the ongoing maintenance and deterioration that is typical of wood picket fencing, this material has been specifically excluded from the Zoning Ordinance as an effective screening material. The requesting party does not intend for this fence to be a permanent fixture, however, Town staff has great difficulties enforcing the removal of permitted structures as a temporary use, as well as enforcing the routine maintenance of any private fence. Conditional approval may be established as a part of the administrative use permit request, but staff believes this will become an ongoing code enforcement issue throughout the Town. In several past instances, other residents have requested administrative use permits utilizing wood picket fencing to satisfy the screening requirements for such vehicles. The Town Council should anticipate many similar requests in the future if a favorable vote is taken. Staff recommends that the Town Council deny this request for an alternative screening method for RV and trailer storage. If the Council wishes to approve the use of wood picket fence as a permanent screen material, staff would like direction to possibly streamline a review and approval process for such requests. If you have any questions, please contact me at (480) 816-5138.

Box 17958 — Fountain Hills, Arizona 85269 — (480) 837-2003 — FAX: (480) 837-1404 October 22, 2001 Jeff Valder Community Development, Planning and Zoning Town of Fountain Hills Dear Mr. Valder, Pursuant to our discussions, I would like to request a hearing for a variance regarding an administrative use permit for my residence at 10219 N. Nicklaus Drive. My home is located on the lot in a position that allows only side yard storage. According to Fountain Hills Restrictions, section 5.13, A, #2, I require a permit to store a camper and boat in my side yard area. In compliance with the requirements, these items are placed behind a 6-foot masonry wall and gate constructed of view obscuring wood plank. In regard to #3, I seek council approval to use redwood plank fencing for side -view obstruction. It is my intent this fence will be "temporary", as the lot next to mine has not yet been developed. I ask for this variance because the area I am using for storage lies inside approx.15 feet from the property line which will eventually have masonry wall separation. It seems wasteful to enclose the side yard with a masonry wall now and later tear it down or have the wall within a property line wall when the neighboring lot is developed. Please review the enclosed pictures, which demonstrate clean views from the street and tasteful view obstruction from the side. Note that in order to see the side of this enclosure, one must walk to the back of the neighboring lot, as it is not visible from the street. Thank you for consideration of my unique situation. Please let me know if I must attend the council hearing or if my request is granted. Sincerely, Rick Ribail (480) 836-9593 10219 N. Nicklaus Drive Fountain Hills, AZ 85268 VIEW FROM SAGUARO BLVD.

Willers, Community rente for THROUGH: William E. Farrell, Acting Tow anager SUBJECT: December Activity Report for the Fountain Hills Community Center. Please find the attached December Activity Report for the Fountain Hills Community Center. The report details, by date, the different activities, attendance and fees collected for rent, miscellaneous charges, food commissions, and liquor sales. Amounts shown are those charged for the event and may not necessarily have been collected in total by the end of the month. December was not as busy as the first two months however we were able to make some headway into the Holiday party usage and certainly intend on pursuing more of the same for next year. I believe with our reasonable rates and great facilities, we should be a favored location for more of the local Holiday business. Typically, except for New Year's Eve, facility rental business for December slows down dramatically once we hit the 20tn. As we ended 2001 and moved into 2002, our staff participated in our own version of New Year's Resolutions whereby we all returned, fresh from the Holidays, with at least five written "Resolutions or Solutions" to improve our operations. We had a full staff special meeting, including the part-time folks, and discussed each "Resolution." Besides being a fun time, it was good for all of us to hear other points of view from different perspectives. The session helped establish the direction we need to follow and the areas where we can improve. We are now meeting individually to discuss their suggestions and establish specific goals for the upcoming year. December summary is as follows: Activities — 112, YTD 375; attendance — 3,807, YTD 18,077; space rent - $4,555, YTD $14,660; misc. fees - $346, YTD $989; food — $447, YTD $1,858; liquor - $3,372 YTD $15,339; total monthly revenue - $8,720, YTD $35,969. 13001 N.
