PROJECT MANAGER: DESCRIPTION: Dana Burkhardt, Senior Planner OWNER: Michael Namie APPLICANT: Michael Namie EXISTING ZONING: 44R1-35" EXISTING CONDITION: Undeveloped LOT SIZE: 104,936.69 square feet (2.41acres) SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: NORTH: Single-family residence; zoned "RI-8" SOUTH: Open space tract; zoned "R1-43 PUD" EAST: Single -Family Residence; zoned "R1-35" WEST: Undeveloped lot; zoned "R1-35" SUMMARY: This is a request from Michael Namie, to abandon the "Final Plat of Coyote Run", an existing one lot residential subdivision. On August 18, 1994, Town Council approved the "Final Plat of Coyote Run", which is an assembly of Lots 12 & 13, Block 3, Final Plat 603-A Amended. The purpose of the lot join was to allow the property owners at that time greater flexibility to construct a single residence on the subject property. Michael Namie, the current property owner, wishes to abandon the current plat, and revert back to lots 12 & 13 to allow the construction of a single-family residence on each lot. EVALUATION: The Town has received very few requests, if any, to abandon re -platted properties. The approval of this request will abandon the existing one lot plat and revert to Lots 12 & 13, Block 3, Final Plat 603-A Amended. Lots 12 and 13 meet the minimum required lot size and dimensions of the "Rl- 35" Zoning District in which they are located. If this request is approved, the development of lots 12 & 13 are required to be consistent with Section 5.11 "Land Disturbance Standards" of the Zoning Ordinance, which limits the area of disturbance to no more than four times the footprint of the structure(s) or 20% of the "hillside" (slopes over 15% gradient) and 100% of the non -"hillside" portions of the lot. Article 208 of the Subdivision Ordinance provides for the abandonment of all or part of a recorded subdivision, by Town Council approval. Staff has reviewed the number of single-family lots that have been joined since the Towns incorporation to understand the potential for future requests for abandonment under similar circumstances. The Town has approved approximately 18 lot join requests for residential properties since incorporation. Approximately three of those lot join properties have not been developed and may apply for plat abandonment if the property owners wish to revert back to two residential lots. It is unlikely that the Town will have any plat abandonment requests for residential platted properties in the near future. Staff finds that Lots 12 and 13 meet the minimum zoning regulations and site improvements are not necessary with this request. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2003-34; the abandonment of the "Final Plat of Coyote Run".

Box 17958 Fountain Hills, AZ. 85269 March 13, 2003 Dear Town Council, FEB 1 9 2003 This letter serves an official request to abandon a recorded subdivision pursuant to article 208 of the Fountain Hills subdivision ordinance. Our lot is Plat 381- 33, Lot 1 and the legal description is Coyote Run MCR 381/33. Address is 15445 E. Sycamore Drive. The current lot size is approximately 2.4 acres. Basically, I would like to split the lot back into its original two pieces. Original addresses were 15445 and 15457 E. Sycamore Drive. I believe the original legal description would be lots 12 & 13, Block 3 Fountain Hills Arizona Plat No.603. In preparation for this request, I had a preliminary driveway study done by Montgomery Engineering & Management, L.L.C. The study shows that a driveway for each lot is feasible under the current city guidelines. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter. Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me.

Ghetti, Accounting Supervisor Administration RE: Animal License Fee Administration Staff has analyzed the animal control and licensing functions that were being performed by the Marshal Department to determine if it is economically advantageous to keep the function in- house or contract with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control. Based on the analysis it is recommended that the Town continue to provide the licensing service to the community, but contract with the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control for animal control services with a rate increase that corresponds to the County license fees. Analysis One of the functions of the Fountain Hills Marshal Department has been administration of the Animal Control program. This included licensing, which was handled by the dispatchers, and animal complaints, dog bites, loose dogs, etc. that was handled by a deputy as the animal control officer (ACO), Arlena Manilla. The recent staff departures in the Marshal Department have left the clerical and animal control positions vacant. Until a determination is made regarding who will assume the responsibility for animal control the license fees are being processed in the Administration Department and animal complaints are being handled by existing Marshal deputies. The purpose of this report is to prepare a recommendation whether to keep the animal licensing and control in-house or outsource with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (ACC). The recommendation will be based on a cost/benefit analysis associated with the service and taking into consideration the intangible benefits. There are two separate functions regarding the animal control program — one is licensing and the other is animal control. The Town can choose to continue to provide either one, both or none; Maricopa County ACC has submitted a proposal to provide whatever level of service the Town wishes. Animal Control Last year the Town had approximately 1,040 animal -related calls that were handled by the Marshal Department. Of those calls 271 were barking dog complaints, 301 were loose dog complaints and 243 were expired licenses. If the Town continues to provide animal control services the animal control officer position would need to be filled for the animal related calls and a clerical position for the licensing. If the Town contracts with Maricopa County ACC they would cover calls by law enforcement, fire department requests, bites, dogs at large, confined animals, etc. (no barking dog complaints) at a cost of $17,187 for the first year. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office will respond to barking dog complaints. The proposed cost for the ACC contract is based on a three year contract; if the Town chooses to contract for one year it will fall under a cost methodology that is 40% higher (revised cost of $24,100) that includes travel time. Shelter costs would be additional unless the County assumes the licensing function and keeps the associated revenue. Animal License Fees Currently dog owners in Fountain Hills can obtain a license for their pet through the Town of Fountain Hills either by mail or in person. The Town issues the dog tags, ensures that the rabies vaccinations are current and maintains the pet owner database - the budgeted revenue for FY03- 04 is $25,000. Maintaining the licensing function involves clerical staff time equivalent to .52 FTE and is currently being handled by increased hours of the Administration Department part time staff. Currently the Town is charged a per diem (daily) fee when an animal is brought to the shelter by either the Marshal Department or a Fountain Hills resident. The fees vary depending on the number of days the animal is impounded or if euthanasia is required. If the Town discontinues administering the animal license fee program Maricopa County will provide the licenses to the residents (the Town will forfeit the revenue) and the shelter costs will be provided at no cost to the Town. If the Town continues the licensing function the estimated annual shelter cost would be approximately $7,600 over and above the animal control contract fee. The current rate schedule for animal license fees in Fountain Hills is $15 for a non -sterile dog and $7 for sterile compared to the County fees of $25 for non -sterile and $10 for sterile. Should the Town eliminate the licensing function the citizens will pay the higher fees to the County. If the Town decides to keep the licensing function the Town should consider an increase in the fees to help defray the animal control costs. The following is a summary of the costs for each option; the breakdown of the costs is attached as Appendix A. Option 1 assumes that Fountain Hills hires an animal control officer and keeps the licensing revenue. Option 2 assumes that the Town keeps the licensing revenue but contracts with ACC for animal control and shelter services. Option 3 assumes the Town increases the license fees to the equivalent County fees and contracts with ACC for animal control and shelter services. Option 4 assumes that ACC will assume licensing, animal control and shelter services. OPTION 1 1 OPTION 2 1 OPTION 3 1 OPTION 4 Direct Costs $88,250 $44,820 $44,820 $1,580 Indirect Costs $1,100 $850 $850 $850 License Revenue ($25,000) ($25,000) ($32,600) $25,000 Net Cost to Town $64,350 $20,670 $13,070 $27,430 Other Considerations Other factors other than cost should be considered when making a decision regarding animal control: 1. Enforcement of licenses — currently a loose dog that is licensed and picked up by a deputy is taken to a .local vet for shelter, the owner information is obtained through the Town licensing records and they are notified to pick up their pet. The pet owner has to pay the vet's office for the period of time that their pet was contained. If the dog is unlicensed the officer will attempt to locate the owner through newspaper reports of lost dogs, local vet offices, etc. If the owner is located they are required to pay the Town license fee when they pick up their dog. If the Town contracts with ACC for animal control but maintains the licensing function and database, and an unlicensed dog is picked up and impounded at the ACC center, follow up with the owner will be necessary to ensure compliance with the local license ordinance. The contract with the County will need to specify that information regarding pet owners name and address be included on the quarterly reports prepared for the Town. 2. Citizen convenience — currently Fountain Hills residents can come to Town Hall to obtain a license. The Town maintains a database with contact phone numbers to notify the pet owners regarding their rabies vaccinations, expired license or that their pet is at large. If the County resumes licensing the resident will have to work with the County ACC to register, pay their pet license fees, or locate the owner of a found dog. 3. If the Town decides to discontinue the licensing program Section 6 of the Town Code will need to be amended. 4. Cruelty calls are not included in the animal control contract — ACC officers cannot enforce Title 13, these calls would be handled by MCSO. However, if a complaint involved an animal confined in a locked vehicle in 100 degree weather the ACC would consider this type of call a priority 1 with a one hour response time. The call would be classified as a cruelty complaint and would fall under Title 13 of the ARS; ACC can enforce this section of the statute, but further action would have to come from MCSO. Recommendation Maintaining the animal control function would cost $89,350 and require that the Town hire 1.5 FIFE animal control officers to ensure 7 day a week response, as well as a part-time clerical position to handle the licensing. This would be the most expensive option (Option 1) and inconsistent with the reduction in force implemented in January, 2003. Contracting with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control for animal control provides the service for $17,187, not including shelter services, which makes economic sense. The remaining issue is the license fees. If the Town forfeits the fees and Maricopa County resumes animal licensing there will be no additional contract costs for shelter services ($7,600). But the Town will lose the $25,000 in annual revenue which means that eliminating the fees will actually cost $17,000 which is $10,000 more than the shelter services. By continuing to provide the Fountain Hills residents with the licensing service, and increasing the fees to the equivalent of Maricopa County's fees, the cost for animal control could be reduced.

June 16, 2003 Timothy Pickering Town Manager Town of Fountain Hills PO Box 17958 Fountain Hills, AZ 85269 Dear Mr. Pickering: On behalf of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Tribal Council, I'm pleased to inform you that we will soon be making our first contributions to local governments as provided in Proposition 202, the 17 Tribe Indian Self -Reliance Initiative, enacted by the voters in last November's election. By this letter and attached document, we are formally soliciting from the Town of Fountain Hills a proposal to augment your city government's tourism promotion efforts. Tourism is a critical component of our region's economy, but also one that suffers from chronic under -funding at the state level. All governments in the Northeast Valley rely on money spent by the millions of tourists that visit our area every year. But competition for those tourist dollars is increasingly fierce, and we know that our neighboring states of Utah, Nevada and California market themselves very aggressively. Unfortunately, they have the advantage of a greater commitment from their state governments in promoting their attractions and enticing tourists to vacation in their states. Too often, their gains come at our expense. In this, our first round of contributions to local governments under Prop. 202, the Tribal Council would like to contribute $50,000 to the Town of Fountain Hills to be used for the promotion of tourism. We look forward to discussing this with you. Sincerely, Dr. Clinton M. Pattea President r.. Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Contributions to Local Governments Solicitation of Proposal Background In the 2002 state general election, Arizona voters enacted Proposition 202, the 17 Tribe Indian Self -Reliance Initiative. Passage of this tribally sponsored ballot measure ensured the continuation of limited casino gaming on Indian lands in Arizona. Over the past decade, gaming has enabled many Arizona tribes to begin the process of reversing a historic legacy of institutionalized poverty. Tribal gaming revenues have been used to construct desperately needed infrastructure, increase the provision of social services, improve health care for tribal members, and open up educational opportunities for our young people. The infusion of gaming revenue has allowed tribes to take significant steps down the path of economic self-sufficiency. Still, much remains to be done. It takes more than a decade of gaming to overcome a century of neglect and despair. Above all, tribal gaming has given our people a reason to be optimistic about the future. Under tribal -state gaming compacts signed earlier this year, Arizona tribes will be sharing a portion of their gaming revenue with local school districts, state and local governments and other public entities. In drafting Prop. 202, Arizona tribal leaders believed all Arizonans should share in the benefits of tribal gaming. To that end, a statutorily specified percentage of tribal gaming revenue will be contributed annually to programs and institutions serving the public. A substantial share of tribal contributions will be dedicated to improving the statewide education system; other public beneficiaries under Prop. 202 include medical emergency facilities, wildlife conservation programs, tourism promotion and direct assistance to local governments. Description Under Prop. 202, twelve percent of a tribe's annual revenue -sharing contributions shall be paid to local governments to provide services that benefit the general public. ARS 5-601.02 states that new gaming compacts shall include the following provision: Distributions by tribe to cities, towns and counties. The tribe shall make twelve percent (129,65) of its total annual contribution under section 12(b) in either or both of the following forms: (1) Distributions to cities, towns or counties for government services that benefit the general public, including public safety, mitigation of impacts of gaming, or promotion of commerce and economic development; (2) Deposits to the commerce and economic development commission local communities fund established by A.R. S. Section 41-1505.12 The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation has chosen to contribute directly to local governments in its region. The Nation will periodically solicit proposals from eligible local governments, and make awards based on its evaluation of the submitted proposals, consistent with the priorities established by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Tribal Council. The Tribal Council may accept in whole or in part, reject, or request modifications to any proposals submitted in response to this letter of solicitation. Proposals that are accepted by the Tribal Council will receive funding under terms specifically delineated in an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and the appropriate local government. Unless otherwise stipulated, all awards will provide funding for a period of one (1) year. Tribal Council Priorities The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Tribal Council recognizes that there are myriad under -funded public programs and needs in Arizona. Arizona's education system, for example, despite representing the single largest category of expenditures in the state budget, trails virtually every state in the amount of money spent per student. Critically important infrastructure improvements also lag behind; this in a state with the second highest population growth rate in the United States, a circumstance that exponentially increases the need for such improvements. Social service delivery systems are similarly challenged; the costs of social dysfunction dwarf the resources available for prevention and treatment. Local governments stagger under the burden of unmet needs. As the level of government closest to the people, they are disproportionately responsible for providing needed services, yet are severely hamstrung by state imposed restrictions on their ability to fund these services. In drafting Prop. 202, Arizona tribal leaders were determined that a significant portion of revenue sharing dollars from tribal gaming be allocated for direct assistance to local governments. The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Tribal Council has identified six general areas of priority to guide its own tribal contributions to local governments. Fort McDowell's contributions will be concentrated in these areas: 1) Education 2) Public Safety 3) Transportation 4) Economic Development 5) Health Care 6) Social Services Proposal Objective In this round of contributions, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation is soliciting proposals whose objective is the promotion of tourism in the Northeast Valley. Tourism has been and continues to be a vital form of economic development in Arizona. Our state is blessed with spectacular natural wonders, ranging from the Grand Canyon in the north to Kartchner Caverns in the south, that draw million of visitors every year. Man-made attractions are also important tourist draws; the many world class golf courses in Arizona are testament to this. Whether natural or man-made, Arizona's attractions are greatly enhanced by our southwestern climate, which insists that all visitors to our state trade in their parkas and umbrellas for a pair of sunglasses and a bottle of sun screen lotion. Ironically, despite the immense significance of tourism to Arizona's economy, our state lags behind many of its key competitors for the tourist dollar in public funding for tourism promotion. For these reasons, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Tribal Council has determined that it make contributions of $50,000 each to selected local governments for the purpose of promoting tourism. The awards will be for a period of one year. Application Process Timeframe This initial round of contributions by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation will proceed on an accelerated timeframe. Proposals are due by July 1, and the Tribal Council will make its decisions prior to July 25. An IGA should be approved and signed immediately thereafter. Submittal Requirements Complete proposals should include the following elements: 1. A detailed description of current activities aimed at promoting tourism in the Northeast Valley, including a listing of key personnel involved in these activities 2. The amount currently budgeted for tourism promotion 3. A detailed description of how additional funds will be used to augment current efforts, including stipulations that a. The contribution will not be used to supplant current or future funding levels, and b. At the end of the one year funding cycle, there will be provided a final and complete report detailing how funds were actually spent 4. A Resolution adopted by the governing body authorizing the proposal 5. Identification of a contact person for follow-up Proposals should be delivered by mail or by hand to the following addresses: Mailing Address Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Attn: Raphael Bear General Manager P.O.

Box 17779 Fountain Hills, AZ 85269-7779 Fountain Hills Proposition 202 Tourism proposal, 0 Quarter 6/30/2003 EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK Section 1 — Description of Current Activities and Key Personnel: Objective: The aim of the Tourism Council is to establish high criteria marketing efficiency in the promotion of Fountain Hills and its surrounding areas. The marketing campaign will be conducted as a destination promotion targeting the primary market of domestic travelers by promoting our strengths in the areas of golf, eco-tourism, cultural -heritage tourism, and more. We will also target secondary markets with exposure to regional and local day-trippers through local media outlets. The initial promotional program included the key elements of collateral, advertising, and public relations. Collateral materials and a press kit were developed to help spread the word about all the unique and exciting benefits the Fountain Hills area has to offer travelers. During the past year, and being carried forward into the next fiscal year, are the following elements of our marketing plan: 1. Advertising will target both the consumer and trade/association segments, on nationwide basis, through proven media and publications. A compatible response database will be strictly demanded from the publications/media and will be available to interested parties for individual follow-ups. The value of budgeted advertising dollars will be multiplied through AOT and other available grants.

Joint Promotional Programs — Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau. Due to the value of the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau joint programs, as documented in the Tourism Impact Study, membership fees will remain a significant line item of the budget. Other memberships, less costly, may be considered if they provide benefits not available through the SCVB or other individual efforts. 3. Fulfillment and Distribution — Continue to employ a mailing house that will send out brochures in response to the fulfillment requests generated through the ad program. The mail house will also be responsible for combining these requests into a leads database for use by individual members. Additional brochure distribution at various points throughout the region will continue at the airport visitor centers, AOT visitor centers, and through the program currently in place for Northern and Southern Arizona as well as San Diego. 4. Design and production of Fountain Hills' promotional materials (brochures, folders, maps, etc.) will continue. Published literature should focus on the general destination assets, avoiding the necessity of frequent updates and allowing for more attention to effective distribution. 5. Website promotion — continue to work with the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce to redesign the existing website; giving more focus to visitor information and promoting tourism in the area. Key Personnel on the Tourism Council: fir• The Fountain Hills Tourism Council is willing to assume responsibility for destination promotion and other marketing activities for the Town. It is our position that the current Tourism Council members, with some highly experienced and recognized tourism professionals among them, are qualified and eager to undertake this task. The following individuals currently serve the council: Roxanne Boryczki — Arizona Trails Reservation Service — past chairperson and ad committee Al Brimage — Fountain Hills Taxi Rick Cibik — Fort McDowell Adventures Frank Ferrara — Executive Director Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce Jay Haffner — Sunridge Golf Club Tracy Herbst — Eagle Mountain Golf Club — website committee Vladimir Hulpach — Fountain Vista Properties & Hilton Hotel — chairperson Phyliss Kern — Phylician Bed & Breakfast — public relations committee Jeff Lessig — WeKoPa Golf Club — vice chairperson and public relations committee Mark McDermott — former AOT executive director and consultant Lee Robinson — at large member and Chamber ambassador Sam Trivedi — Comfort Inn Fountain Hills Don Weintraub — Copperwynd Resort & Spa — ad committee Samantha Coffman- Town of Fountain Hills —treasurer, fulfillment committee and Town liaison Section 2 — Budget: The current budget for fiscal year 2003/2004 is $50,500.00. Of this amount the funds will be designated as follows: Scottsdale CVB Partnership - $30,000 AOT TEAM Grant — Media Advertising - $15,000 Fulfillment Services and Postage - $5,500 Tpickering;tpg;FH prop202proposal.doc/6.26.03 Page 3 of 3 Fountain Hills Proposition 202 Tourism proposal, I" Quarter 6/30/2003 Section 3 — Use of Additional Funds through Prop 202: If granted additional, designated tourism funding, from the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, through Proposition 202, the Town of Fountain Hills will be an advocate for Fort McDowell as well as Fountain Hills' and the surrounding tourism industry. The entire scope of work is estimated below. The following list outlines examples of programs, which would be enabled when the funding becomes available: Estimated Costs: • FAM Trip and Press Releases $30,000 • Brochures and Collateral material $ 4,350 • Photo License $ 500 • AZ Tourism Alliance $ 250 • Airport Brochure Distribution Program $ 1,100 • Scottsdale CVB and AOT Trade Show $10,000 • Additional Advertising 3,800 TOTAL $50,000 The largest budgeted program is the familiarization trip (FAM trip), which will be utilized to entertain and inform key media members thus leading to editorial coverage in regional, national and international publications. This trip will include visits to Fort McDowell. This program may include contracting with a professional PR firm, at least on a project basis, to coordinate the FAM trip and issue regular releases and cultivate media relationships. Furthermore, the Tourism Council is prepared to include Fort McDowell in grant advertising by changing the name to Fountain Hills/Fort McDowell Tourism Alliance or something similar. Advertising copy will include a Fountain Hills/Fort McDowell tagline, as well as include website links to Fort McDowell and its enterprises. Press kits will contain information on Fort McDowell and its enterprises (already in place). Additional funds from Proposition 202 would provide -for these programs. In no way will these funds supplant the current budget designated by the town or impact future funding initiatives established by the town or the tourism council itself in seeking a designated funding program for the future. The tourism council will prepare a presentation and reports for both the Fountain Hills Town Council and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation documenting the midway results and the final marketing plan including all expenditures and detailing the results of the marketing program.

Additional Advertising: Additional advertising remains to be decided and this issue is scheduled for a detailed discussion at the next Tourism Council meeting scheduled for July 23, 2003, 8:30 a.m., at the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce. Most likely, the monies will be used for magazine publication but the marketing plan needs to remain flexible, as we will be using the funds depending upon the tourism marketplace. The tourism council will prepare a presentation and reports for both the Fountain Hills Town Council and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation documenting the midway results and the final marketing plan including all expenditures and detailing the results of the marketing program. 9196.0041Fr MCD 1GA — Prop. 202 FundsA.doc 10 7-1-03-1 Intergovernmental Agreement Between The Town of Fountain Hills and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation To Provide Funds For Promoting Tourism in the Town of Fountain Hills And Surrounding Communities Pursuant To A Tribal Revenue Sharing Agreement Authorized By Section 12 Payment of Regulatory Costs; Tribal Contributions Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and State of Arizona Gaming Compact 2002, And A.R.S. §5-601.02 Fountain Hills, Arizona 9196.004TT MCD IGA - Prop. 202 Fun&.v4.doc i-1-03-1 Intergovernmental Agreement Between The Town of Fountain Hills and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation To Provide Funds For Promoting Tourism in the Town of Fountain Hills And Surrounding Communities This Intergovernmental Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into by and between the Town of Fountain Hills, an Arizona municipal corporation (the "Town") and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation (the "Nation"), a Federally -Recognized Indian Tribe, pursuant to Section 12 Payment of Regulatory Costs; Tribal Contributions ("Section 12") of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and State of Arizona Gaming Compact 2002 (the "Compact") and A.R.S. §5- 601.02.

In addition, the Fountain Hills Unified School District also combined maintenance of their properties in a combined bid to encourage bidders to provide competitive prices for this work. The contract, which is divided into seven sections, was rebid last year, with three vendors awarded the work. Under the terms of the existing contract, the contract can be renewed annually for up to an additional four years, for a total of five, if both parties agree to a price based on the Consumer Price Index for inflation. Under the contract the Town is required to notify the contractors regarding the increase to which they have a number of options: they can decline to participate completely, or they can propose a smaller amount. Finally, they can simply accept the increase. Written responses regarding contract renewal were received from each of the contractors and are attached. TruGreen chose to keep its contract the same. TruGreen performs the mowing and landscape maintenance, spraying, and palm tree trimming. ValleyCrest, which performs tree trimming, requested the increase. Sage, which performs irrigation maintenance wants to option out of that contract. Staff is recommending that the Sage contract not be renewed and that quotes be sought for the work. Sage, which also performs the overseeding, had requested an increase that was higher than the adjustment due to higher seed prices they were encountering. Staff is recommending that this item be pulled and either quotes received or be rebid for later this year. Lastly, Sage performed work in the medians for Public Works under crew hours, and staff is recommending a 2.3% CPI increase. Please note that, due to modifications to the scope of the contractor's work, the amount of the overall contract has been reduced Staff is recommending that the contract be renewed with prices as listed on the attachment. There were no changes in service for any of the contractors concerning their contract with the Fountain Hills Unified School District.

Case Number Z2003-05. This request is for consideration of an application to Rezone Lot 7, Block 6, Final Plat 412-B, located at 19000 East Shea Boulevard, east of Cereus Wash between Shea Boulevard and Firebrick Drive. APPLICANT: OWNER: EXISTING ZONING: PROPOSED ZONING: EXISTING CONDITION: LOT SIZE: SheaProp LLC/Rider Land & Development LLC. Martin Dawson et al R1-43 C-2 Vacant Land 74,488 SF (1.71 acres) SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: NORTH: Vacant land, zoned "C-2" SOUTH: Single family residential, zoned "R1-43" EAST: Crossroads Convenience Center, zoned "C-2" WEST: Vacant land, zoned "R1-43" with Firerock Resort Casitas beyond, zoned "R- 5" SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting approval of an application to rezone one lot from R1-43, single-family residential/one acre per dwelling unit, to C-1, neighborhood commercial and professional zoning. The zoning ordinance describes the principal purpose of the C-1 zoning district is to provide a location for modest, well designed commercial enterprises to serve a surrounding residential neighborhood, as well as to provide for services to the community which are not detrimental to the integrity of the offices throughout the community. The applicant is proposing to construct a one- story office -commercial project on lots 5, 6, & 7. The Town Council voted to amend the Town's General Plan to reflect commercial uses on the property on August 6, 1998. The General Plan 2002 update that was adopted June 20, 2002 also indicates General Commercial on the Existing Land Use map (Exhibit 3) and shows General Commercial/Retail on the Proposed Land Use map (Exhibit 4). The General Plan 2002 text relates the requested C-1 zoning designation to a Generalized Land Use Designation of Service/Employment, which is consistent with the proposed office/retail uses (page 14). Rider Shea Rezone lot?.doc Page 1 of 2 The applicant proposes to construct a small-scale highway commercial project that will have approximately 20,600 square feet of leaseable space for retail and restaurant uses. The applicant is targeting intra-city commuters and hopes to provide business that will not compete with the local downtown retail traffic. As proposed, the project will not require any transfer of disturbance, density transfers or lot join requests. Cereus Wash will remain untouched. The proposed development would take all access from Shea Boulevard and would eliminate any rear access from Firebrick Drive by dedicating a non - vehicular access easement (N.V.A.E.) along Firebrick Drive. The dedication of the N.V.A.E would mean that no driveways would be allowed to enter or exit onto Firebrick, thus protecting the residential neighborhood to the south from all traffic generated by the project. The applicant is also proposing to plant a row of trees in the right-of-way on Firebrick Drive that would help to screen the proposed project and existing fast-food restaurants on the north side of Shea Boulevard for the homeowners directly south of the site. The project owner would maintain the trees. The existing businesses across Shea Boulevard from this location are Wendy's, Arby's, Taco Bell and an automotive repair facility. Further west on Shea Boulevard are partially and fully developed retail centers, motel and service stations and the regional shopping center, Four Peaks Plaza containing Target. The proposed project would be compatible with the existing Shea Boulevard regional commercial development and would not compete with the local business development in the Town Center. EVALUATION ® On February 20, 2003, Council approved Ordinance number 03-06 approving the rezoning of the adjoining lots 5 & 6 from R1-43 to C-1. • The requested rezoning from R1-43 to C-1 is consistent with the General Plan land use map. Engineering has reviewed this request and has provided stipulations consistent with the stipulations given during the rezoning of lots 5 & 6. These stipulations are site design based and will be addressed at site/concept/building plan review. The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed this application at public hearing June 12, 2003, and recommended approval by unanimous vote. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the ability of this development to add benefit to the surrounding commercial uses, the positive economic impact and previous rezoning of lots 5 & 6. The Planning & Zoning Commission and Staff recommend approval of the rezoning of Final Plat 412-B, Block 6, Lots 7 from R1-43, single family residential to C-1, Neighborhood Commercial and Professional, case number Z2003-05 with the stipulation that the applicant work with Town staff to comply with the Town Engineer's requirements as outlined in his memo dated May 30, 2003 (attached).

RE: Rider Rezoning To Engineer 19000 Place Commercial Center Plat 412B, Block 5, Lots 5, 6, &7 Case Z2002-12 and Z2003-05 We have modified our previous review comments for the above Lots 5,6, and 7, in accordance with previous Council discussion and as requested by Public Works Director Tom Ward. We have also re -grouped those review comments for clarity and to avoid duplication. Our comments are intended both to provide stipulations for the rezoning request, where appropriate, and to provide guidance for the applicant to prepare a potential future preliminary plat application. PLAT • Obtain an abandonment of the "No vehicular access" restriction along Shea Blvd. from the Town Council. • Grant a F VNAE along the Firebrick Drive frontage. • In accordance with the original Master Plan for Fountain Hills (Maricopa County, Case MP 70-1) a 100' buffer along the east Town boundary was required. It was not required south of Shea Blvd. along the Town's south boundary, because of the very large and deep single-family lots planned there. Provide verification from the Salt River -Pima Maricopa Indian Community that the setback of Building F (at the southeast end of Lot 7) is acceptable. Alternatively, provide a 100' buffer strip (a building setback or non -building easement) from your southeast property line. TRAFFIC • Provide a revised traffic study based on the more -intense, currently proposed building areas, usages, and Shea Blvd. traffic. Lengthen all turn pockets, exit stacking lengths, traffic signal analysis, etc, as necessary. • If a traffic signal is warranted at the easterly driveway within 5 years after final acceptance of the project improvements, construct it. Provide a 5-year bond for it if not currently warranted. (The proposed access to Shea Blvd. is an access upgrade to that previously allowed for this site. The design condition should therefore be for a 20-year period. Include in the traffic report the build -out traffic both at this project and at the Crossroads Convenience Center when evaluating the need for a traffic signal at the east driveway. Use a 20-year future volume on Shea Blvd. Construct or bond for 5-years for any necessary facilities.) • Provide an emergency ingress/egress route and easement from Shea Blvd. to Firebrick Drive through the site parking lot. • Construct a 3" traffic signal conduit across the proposed east driveway. Construct a 3" traffic signal conduit across Shea Blvd at the proposed east driveway (if there will Rider Rezone, Lots 5, 6, &7 - restatement Page 2 of 4 Chron 064 be any other utility pavement cut in that vicinity). Construct a 2" traffic signal coordination conduit across the full Shea Blvd. frontage for the site and Cereus Wash.. Use #5 pull boxes at all conduit ends and at a 200' maximum spacing for all traffic signal conduit. • Verify the length and need for the acceleration lane shown on Shea Blvd. at the east driveway. Verify the deceleration lane lengths. • Verify that the sight distances from the driveways along Shea Blvd. are adequate, per the Town's Intersection Sight Triangle (18' behind curb to the center of the critical travel lane for an 840' distance, for a 50-mph design speed). Probable sight line issues include: o Frontage landscaping along the south side of Shea Blvd. looking west, on the inside of this curved street. o Cereus Wash box culvert guardrail. o Slight vertical crest curve looking west. o Median landscaping looking east from the east driveway. o Because of the Shea Blvd super -elevation and uphill east driveway, verify that site traffic can adequately see the Crossroads Convenience Center driveway traffic. Relocate the project sign shown (at the site end of the east driveway median) if it is a sightline obstruction. ROADWAY • Revise the east driveway to align with the Crossroads Convenience Center driveway. Modify the median noses to fit that driveway location. (The median noses should end near the curb returns for the driveway — probably 35' outside of the edges of the driveway aisle.) • Construct a 6' meandering concrete sidewalk in the Shea Blvd right-of-way from the Texaco station parking lot to this project's east driveway, and into the site. (8' wide on the Cereus Wash box culvert.) Grade and bond for a possible future meandering 6' sidewalk from the east driveway to the southeast property line. • Construct a 5' concrete sidewalk along Firebrick Drive from the Mirage Resort Casitas into the project. • Reimburse the Town for its cost along the Shea Blvd. property frontage for the third eastbound lane and bike lane,'of $80,000. • Widen each entrances/exit driveway to 20'minimum half -widths per the MCDOT roadway design manual. • The east exit driveway should have at least two lanes, and be 28' wide. Stacking length will need to be much longer for the east driveway (length per a revised traffic report). We estimate that at least 100' of stacking distance will be needed for the left turn lane (4 cars). Even if the NB-EB acceleration lane is not needed, that exceeds the 60' available to your aisle -way as shown. • Show the existing bike lane on Shea Blvd. • Provide a gated, emergency access from Firebrick Drive, with a Knox box -or Opticom detectors. Rider Rezone, Lots 5, 6, &7 - restatement Page 3 of 4 Chron 064 • Since there is no cul-de-sac bulb at the end of Firebrick Drive, provide a cul-de-sac bulb or hammerhead turn -around there. (Depending on its location, the above emergency access gate approach may provide this.) • At the rear of Buildings D and E, wouldn't it be preferable to park the cars adjacent to the building sidewalk, instead of across the aisle? DRAINAGE • Extend the Cereus Wash box culvert as required. (A FEMA LOMR may be required.) (Extend the Cereus Wash box culvert for the west driveway's right turn deceleration lane, 8'sidewalk, barrier railing, and 3:1 fill slope.) Show the Cereus Wash 100-year high water line. • Provide a drainage easement or a tract, scour protection, and native landscaping for the east bank of the adjoining Cereus Wash. Verify that your site grading will not require steeper than 3:1 bank slopes along the east bank of Cereus Wash., and will not infringe on the existing flow area, nor into the adjacent Town -owned property. • Show the existing Cereus Wash banks, box culvert, guardrail, top of slope, and distance to the Texaco driveway. • Other probable needed storm drainage features include: o A catch basin on Shea Blvd. at the west driveway entrance, and on the driveway, draining to Cereus Wash. o A catch basin along Shea Blvd., in the landscaped frontage area on the northwest side of the east driveway, connecting into the existing culvert under Shea Blvd. o A catch basin along Shea Blvd., in the parking lot, and in the landscaped frontage at the east end of the site, connecting into the existing culvert under Shea Blvd. • On -site storm water detention may be required, except for flows that drain directly from the site into Cereus Wash, due to the capacity of the existing culverts under Shea Blvd. UTILITIES • Place two fire hydrants at 1,000' +/- spacing along Shea Blvd. and one fire hydrant along Firebrick Drive. • With the number, size, usage, and proximity of the buildings shown, you may need to tap to the 12" water main on the north side of Shea Blvd., the waterline at the Firebrick/ Last Trail intersection, and/or the water line along the south side of Shea Blvd at the Texaco station, even with the flow reduction credit for fire sprinklers, for fire flow or reliability. • There is an existing waterline at your southeast boundary. Show its existing easement recordation data, or provide a new easement. LANDSCAPING • Landscape and maintain the Shea Blvd. and Firebrick Drive right-of-ways.

Richwood Avenue Fountain Hills, AZ 85268 October 25, 2002 PURPOSE OF REQUEST The purpose of this application is to seek approval of a request to rezone approximately 1.71 net acres of property on Shea Boulevard from R1-43 to C-1 to allow for the development of a small-scale, single level 20,600-sq. ft. highway commercial project. This zoning application follows up the general plan amendment approved by the Fountain Hills City Council in 1998 redesignating the property for commercial uses. PROPERTY HISTORY This 1.71 net acre site is located in the southeast corner of Fountain Hills adjacent to the Salt River Pima — Maricopa Indian Community boundary on the south side of Shea Boulevard. As noted above, the property was the subject of a previous request to amend the general plan designation from "Single Family Very Low" (SF/VL) to "General Commercial/Retail" (C/R) in 1998. This general plan amendment was approved by the Town Council in 1998, but the rezoning request to C-1 was deemed premature at that time. In 2003 The City Council unanimously approved the rezoning to C-1 of the two adjacent lots 5 & 6. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL The applicants are planning to build a small-scale highway commercial project on this property, which will be consistent in both quality and design with their previous existing project located across Shea Blvd. at 17100 E. Shea Blvd. This project will have approximately 15,000 square feet of leaseable building area for miscellaneous highway oriented retail, restaurant, which will serve the market generated by Shea Boulevard rather than Downtown functions. The current daily traffic count of 35,000 plus cars per day is composed primarily of commuters between Scottsdale and Mesa, and, on the weekends, of people traveling to the Payson, and Saguaro lake recreational areas. The contemplated uses are designed to take advantage of the eastbound commute and recreational traffic that already use Shea Blvd. The types of tenants targeted are those that will entice the commuter to stop briefly for convenience items. The synergy between the downtown commercial areas and the Shea Blvd. Commercial areas will provide the City of Fountain Hills with the best of both worlds. The steady increase in commuter traffic will continue along Shea Blvd. Regardless of anything taking place in Fountain Hills as both Mesa and Scottsdale expand. By capitalizing on 1 this fact, Fountain Hills will gain both new businesses and sales tax revenue that can never be had at the downtown location. DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA The project will comply with all of the City's development standards. The approximately 35% 45' of excess Shea Boulevard right-of-way will remain in its native desert condition (with perhaps some additional plantings of native vegetation). Site development complies with all aspects of the City's Hillside Ordinance. In fact, the plan embraces the goals and objectives of this ordinance. Building setbacks range from 25' to 60' from the property line along Shea and 35' to 55' from Firebrick Drive. All buildings will be one- story tall with a maximum height up to 25' essentially to provide for architectural enhancements. In addition to the rezoning itself, this case also includes a request that the 1 ft. vehicular non -access easement (V.N.A.E.) along. Shea Boulevard be exchanged for a 1 ft. V.N.A.E. along Firebrick Drive. The site plan calls for access to the property. to be restricted to Shea Blvd. in order to protect the neighborhood to the south and their local street Firebrick Drive. The existing access to Firebrick Drive would be deleted and prohibited in the future through the 1 ft. V.N.A.E. The row of trees proposed to be planted in the right of way, to be maintained by the applicant, will further prohibit vehicle traffic, noise, and onsite views for the residents south of the subject property. Development of the property will benefit the adjacent residential properties to the South by creating a physical and visual barrier, which will shield the lower elevation residential properties from the Shea Boulevard corridor. The buildings and landscaping will also form an acoustic barrier, effectively lowering the traffic noise that is currently penetrating the neighborhood. The proposed ..r w'd .' .:..♦ fry ^, planting of large box trees along Firebrick Drive is specifically designed to screen the project and Shea Blvd. itself from the four nearby houses. In the photo to the right, - taken from the neighbor's property, w"= you can see that only the western • , >: L ` " r corner of the site is currently visible.. from this residence. In so doing, this landscaping buffer will also screen out the view to the fast foods.. restaurants on the North side of Shea Blvd. for at least two of the existing homes. The proposed development plan will also screen out the view of the fast food restaurants for the residents in the condominium project south of the gas station and west of the subject site. The elevation of the other two homes is approximately 100 feet above the site which means that it is not possible to actually screen the uses from these houses, but the proposed landscaped barrier will at least provide an aesthetically pleasing transition. Finally, by grading the lots as shown on the preliminary grading plan, landscaping the right of way and landscaping the setback along Firebrick Drive (the highest possible 2 point) as noted above, this development will functionally separate the neighborhood from the Shea Blvd. corridor. RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND DOWNTOWN The property to the east across Shea Boulevard is zoned C-2 and is developed as the Crossroads Convenience Center (Wendy's, Arby's and Taco Bell), and auto service building. The adjacent property to the North is zoned C-1, and is under development. The property to the north across the Cereus Wash (zoned R-5), is developed with a Texaco gas station and full service car wash zoned C-2. Indeed, all of the similarly situated property on Shea Blvd. has already been zoned to commercial use, except for the three lots making up the subject property. The property to the west is part of the Firerock subdivision and is zoned R1-43. The Firerock ResortCondominiums are zoned R=S. The property to the south is the Salt River -Pima Indian Reservation. Since the deferral of the C-1 rezoning request in 1998, a number of private actions have been taken to spur development of commercial property in the Downtown as well as in the vicinity of this request on Shea Boulevard. More than 15 commercial building projects have recently been constructed in the Downtown area (see the attached aerial map of Fountain Hills commercial districts), the Target Center just north and west of the site is open for business and the Fort McDowell Indians are now planning more commercial development, reportedl;T anchored by a WalMart Superstore near their casino on the Beeline Highway. This addition of commercial space to the Town of Fountain Hills will enhance the Town's revenue from sales tax and rental taxes. This development will complement the development of the adjacent lots. This proposed project would have virtually no impact on Downtown commercial activity. Since there is no major traffic arterial through the Downtown area, the Downtown has been designed and developed to suit two specific needs that are not related to highway commercial: Neighborhood commercial and destination oriented tourist activity. Neither of these downtown uses or functions will be impacted or compromised by this minor 1.71 acres of highway commercial development with only 20,600 sq. ft. of space. The only tenants that will be attracted to the subject property are those that depend upon high visibility from highway traffic. 3 09 The General Plan, revised in 2002, reconfirmed this area to be designated as "General Commercial / Retail" (C/R) and recognizes the appropriateness of these uses on the subject property. Therefore, given this property's location at the City's limits, the plans of the Fort McDowell Tribe to attempt to capture more sales tax revenue from Fountain Hills and area residents to the Reservation and the existence of other small scale commercial uses directly across and adjacent to the subject property on Shea Blvd., it appears that this is now the appropriate time to proceed with a well designed highway commercial project at this location. LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY / CIRCULATION SYSTEM The subject property will be accessible solely from two new driveways to be built on Shea Boulevard. The center driveway will have a new right turn deceleration lane within the existing Shea Boulevard right-of-way. No access would be allowed to or from Firebrick Drive, which would otherwise be required for residential use. In fact, the applicants propose a 1 ft. V.N.A.E. to preclude this access from ever being created. The topography of the subject property is such that it is well below the level of Firebrick Drive and only slightly elevated above Shea Boulevard. The project design and new access will effectively cut off the property from the neighborhood and orient it towards Shea Blvd. A slope analysis is attached to this application. Traffic has increased dramatically in the last few years, and is now approximating 35,000 commercial vehicles and automobiles per day — up from the 12,000 cars per day in 1993. It would appear that this has become a primary commute corridor, and the outlook is for ever- increasing traffic volume. Any home on this property would be downhill of Firebrick Road with the primary views from inside the home being to the east through a backyard at a 6' high sound attenuation block wall or over the wall to Shea Boulevard and the commercial uses located there. The property is simply not elevated high enough to overcome the noise, vehicle emissions, and compromised views along Shea Blvd. The 4 only situations in Fountain Hills where homes have been built along Shea Blvd., have been those where the homes were set back a significant distance and elevated above the Shea Blvd. right of way by as much as 100 feet or more. TRAFFIC IMPACT A traffic study for this project was prepared by CK Engineering, Inc. The study demonstrates that this project will not adversely affect traffic operations on Shea Boulevard. The study (originally prepared in 1998 and updated in late 1999) indicates that the current traffic flow on Shea Blvd. is comprised primarily of commuters and recreational traffic passing through the area. The primary patrons for this retail/office project would be those already using Shea Blvd. The study also indicates that the proposed development would reduce traffic within the Firerock housing development. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE Upon rezoning approval, the owner anticipates a minimum of twelve months to complete working drawings and leasing, and six months for building permits to be processed before construction could. Eventual completion of the total project would depend upon absorption, but it is estimated at approximately three to five years from the start of construction. PROPERTY DESIGN SPECIFICS BUILDING HEIGHT - 25' Maximum SETBACKS - 40' min from Shea Blvd. and 40' min from Firebrick Drive. These setbacks are consistent with the original R1-43 zoning COLOR PALLETT - Per the attached plans — To be approved by Architectural review committee SITE LIGHTING — No pole lighting on site. Waist high bollards where required PROPOSED USES — C-1 COVERAGE — Less than 20 % (1/3 of normal allowed C-2) DISTURBANCE AREAS — consistent with original R1-43 zoning PERIMETER LANDSCAPE ELEMENT - Box tree planting along Firebrick Dr. PARKING AND ACCESS — Lots 5,6,&7 would have reciprocal agreements for access, egress, and parking. COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES Not Applicable PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES Water and sewage services are available to the property with sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed project. Electrical service will be provided by APS. 5 FINANCIAL BENEFITS TO THE TOWN The Town of Fountain Hills will benefit financially from this development through the following sources of income: 1. Application fees for rezoning 2. Building permit and inspection fees 3. Rental taxes 4. Sales taxes POTENTIAL TENANTS While we do not have specific tenants lined up at this time, from our experience, we anticipate at a minimum, significant interest from the following categories of potential tenant. • Coffee shops • Marine parts retail store • Dry cleaners • Restaurants • Automotive parts retail • Convenience stores • Delicatessen • Florists • Barbershops Real estate office • Bank • Veterinary • Pharmacy While this list is in no way complete, it is offered as an example of highway oriented businesses that can be attracted to this type of site. Our previous development at 17100 E. Shea Blvd. attracted 18 tenants, 16 of which were businesses new to Fountain Hills at that time. We would expect the same type of response on this site.

Case #SU2003-05 This request is for a special use permit to allow Truck Rental in an Industrial zoning district at 9264 Technology Drive. APPLICANT: U-Haul Company of Arizona OWNER: Five Sac Self -Storage Corporation EXISTING ZONING: "IND-2 IUPD" EXISTING CONDITION: U-Haul Self Storage SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: NORTH: Van's Storage; zoned "END-1" and vacant industrial; zoned "IND-2" SOUTH: Mirage Cove Residential; zoned "M-1" EAST: vacant industrial; zoned "IND-2" WEST: SRP substation; zoned "IND-1" SUMMARY: This is a request for a Special Use Permit to allow truck rental in an industrially zoned area. Current use of site is a self -storage facility. Lot size is 3.5271 acres. Existing buildings on site include a showroom/office building and three (3) storage buildings with a total of 689 storage units. No new buildings are proposed. Parking required for this site is one space per 35 storage units (20 spaces) plus one space per two employees (2). The addition of a rental truck service would require one space per truck with a minimum of four (4) spaces. Provided parking for this site is 28 spaces. Based upon existing use this site would require 22 spaces. Thus the parking would allow up to six (6) rental trucks. Screening is provided by a masonry wall to the rear and sides and a wrought iron fence with slats to the front of the property. EVALUATION: On April 3, 2003, the Town Council approved Ordinance #03-03 allowing rental truck operations by special use permit in the industrially zoned districts and set forth parking requirements for the use. This application conforms to those requirements. U-Haul Truck Rental SUP Case Number SU2003-05 Based upon parking shown on the site plan this site would allow up to six (6) rental trucks to be stored on site. Any additional trucks would be removed immediately to the site in Scottsdale as explained in the narrative. Current use of the site as a self -storage facility is compatible with the proposed use. This application meets all requirements of the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance. The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed this application at public hearing on June 12, 2003. One public speaker was heard supporting the application. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted, unanimously, to recommend approval. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning & Zoning Commission and Staff recommend approval of a special use permit to allow Truck Rental in an Industrial zoning district at 9264 Technology Drive aka Fountain Hills Business Park Replat, Block 6, Lot 1.

(602)277-1026 Proposed Use Description RE: U-Haul Storage Fountain Hills — Special Use Permit for Truck Rental The site is currently being used as an approved self -storage facility under the IND-2 zoning classification. The proposed use is for truck rental as a Special Use under the current zoning. The purpose of the proposed use would be to allow for the rental of moving trucks as part of the existing storage business. The rental vehicle operation would co -exist with the existing storage business so that U-Haul may offer its customers a complete do-it-yourself moving solution. The rental vehicles would be located in the (9) designated parking spaces on the site as indicated by the Parking / Site Plan (see attached). To facilitate this use, the existing showroom / retail area located in Building 'A' would be used to conduct all customer transactions related to the rental vehicles. No additional buildings or structures would be added to the site in conjunction with the Special Use request. The hours of operation would remain the same as they are for the storage business. They are as follows: Monday — Saturday 7 am - 7 pm Sunday 9 am - 5 pm As to the number of rental trucks requested for the Special Use Permit, the dynamic nature of incoming and outgoing vehicles makes it difficult to be specific as to the number of trucks that will be on the site at any given time. Under the Special Use Permit U-Haul would only retain, on site, during peak periods the number of rental trucks that can be accommodated by the (9) designated "rental vehicle" parking spaces shown on the Parking / Site Plan. To accommodate overlap, or more vehicles returned to the site than can be facilitated, U-Haul has a traffic center located in Phoenix that monitors traffic for centers in Arizona and would reroute vehicles to other centers and/or dealerships in the area to avoid having more vehicles on site than allowed.

OWNER: GMCAR, LLC APPLICANT: Carl Bommarito EXISTING ZONING: "C-1" Neighborhood Commercial and Professional Zoning District PARCEL SIZE: 5.5 ac (239,433.39 sf) SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: NORTH: Single-family residences ; zoned "R1-35" SOUTH: Retail development; zoned "C-1" EAST: Multi -family development and vacant commercial lot; zoned "R-5 & C-l" WEST: Vacant single-family lot; zoned "R1-35" SUMMARY: This preliminary plat request is for a nine building, 28-unit professional office condominium project located on a unplatted parcel of land. On June 19, 2003, the Town Council approved an Alternative Hillside Development Agreement with the developer of this project. The primary purpose of the agreement is to provide a contiguous open space buffer between the commercial and residential properties, rather than isolated pockets of hillside protection easements throughout the site. The agreement also provides for extensive off -site improvements, such as the sidewalk locations and the proposed Trevino Drive right-of-way expansion. This project proposes two points of vehicle ingress/egress located on the north side of Trevino Drive. The eastern access point is the primary entrance to the site, and is designed with two one- way access aisles separated by a six foot raised median. The primary entrance is aligned for safety with the existing curb cut located on the south side of Trevino Drive. The interior drive aisles and parking areas meet the minimum dimensions and locations required by the Zoning Ordinance. The developer proposes to cover a majority of the parking spaces with metal parking canopies. This project requires a minimum of 138 on -site parking spaces and has provided 176 spaces, 8 of which are handicap accessible. The proposed development also provides three common trash enclosures and four common mailbox locations evenly distributed throughout the site. The development agreement includes provisions for the developer to provide a six-foot sidewalk along the Saguaro boulevard frontage, from Trevino Drive to Monterey Drive, in lieu of providing a sidewalk along Burkemo Drive. The purpose is to provide one complete section of sidewalk, rather than having a sidewalk dead-end at the property line along the Burkemo Drive frontage and the Saguaro Blvd. frontage. Staff believes the Saguaro Blvd. sidewalk is a priority over the Burkemo Drive due to the high volume of Traffic along Saguaro Blvd. The proposed development also provides a meandering sidewalk along Trevino Drive, with connections to the interior sidewalk system of the project. The development consists of nine (9), one-story office buildings, none of which exceed 18.5 feet in height as measured from finished grade. The site design provides a retaining and/or screen wall along the northern disturbance boundary, which allows the buildings to be placed lower than existing grade and also provides some site screening from the adjacent residences located up the hill. EVALUATION: This development meets the provisions set forth in the Alternative Hillside Development Agreement and the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances, with exception to the required eight -foot screen wall along and adjacent to the abutting residential properties. The applicant has been working diligently with the adjacent property owners to satisfy this criterion. The residential properties to the north generally have expansive views that would be blocked by an eight -foot screen wall along the property boundary. Staff believes that the existing natural buffer, the difference in grade between the properties, and the proposed retaining/screen walls will provide adequate buffering/screening from the adjacent residences. Staff has received correspondence from three of the five adjacent property owners requesting a waiver from this requirement. Staff has stipulated that prior to final plat approval, the developer shall provide the Town a written and notarized mutual agreement between the abutting property owners and the developer, to satisfy the site -screening requirement. The applicant has stated that the office complex will only receive deliveries from couriers such as Federal Express and UPS. These visits are typically short in duration and would not justify the permanent designation of 12'x45' loading spaces. Though the CC&R's on the property deed do not permit business activities other than professional office uses, the applicant has agreed to provide the required loading areas prior to business license issuance if a business requires a separate designated loading space. On June 26, 2003 the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this preliminary plat. The Commission was generally pleased with the project layout and the development agreement approved by the Council. Chairman Downes noted that the trash enclosures located along Trevino Drive could be relocated to a less obvious place. The developer explained that the designer and engineer have gone to great lengths to locate the enclosures as inconspicuously as possible while maintaining a desirable product for their professional clients. The applicant will be providing significant landscaping to screen the trash enclosures from the Trevino Drive right of way. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff recommend approval the preliminary plat for the `Trevino Business Center"; Case Number 52002-55, with the following stipulations: 1) Prior to final plat approval, the developer shall provide the Town a written and notarized mutual agreement between the abutting property owners and the developer, to satisfy the site -screening requirement. 2) All improvement plans, such as landscaping, irrigation, grading, paving, utility and drainage plans along with a construction assurance bond and Final Drainage Report must be approved by the Town prior to final plat approval. 3) Provide a notarized letter from the commercial property owner to the south granting permission to improve the property at their east most entry location, as shown on the preliminary plat. 4) Provide a 25-foot No Build Easement and a one -foot non -vehicular access easement along the Burkemo Drive property line. 5) Prior to final Plat approval, the Final Geotechnical Report and Final Traffic Study must be approved by the Town Engineer.

Vista Verde Ct. LOCATION: REQUEST: DESCRIPTION: 9145 N. Vista Verde Ct., aka Firerock Country Club Final Plat Parcel I, Lot 5. Consideration of a cut and fill waiver to permit a 23 foot maximum cut for the development of a single-family residence. OWNER: APPLICANT: EXISTING ZONING: EXISTING CONDITION: LOT SIZE: Dave Miller Ben Sheier "RI-35H PUD" Vacant undisturbed lot 84,763 square feet `*,.. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: NORTH: Vacant Single -Family lot, zoned "R1-35H PUD" SOUTH: Vacant Single -Family lot, zoned "R1-35H PUD" EAST: Open Space Tract `B", zoned "RI-35H PUD" WEST: Vacant residential lot, zoned "RI-35H PUD" SUMMARY: This is a request by Ben Sheier, for a 13 foot cut in excess of the ten foot maximum allowed by the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance. The majority of the proposed cut in excess of ten feet is concealed beneath the footprint of the house, though a small portion is located at the exterior pool area, adjacent to "Covered Deck #1 and #2". The majority of the cut beyond ten feet is located in the basement level where the "Entertainment/Bar Area and the Basketball Court" are located, and would not be visible from the exterior of the building. The proposed house plan has a footprint of 13,323 square feet, of which 7,006 square feet, or 53% is in excess of ten feet. The exterior area of the house plan in excess of ten feet is approximately 800 square feet. EVALUATION: The applicant has submitted a request for construction under building permit #2003-390. Staff may administratively approve cuts or fills beyond the ten -foot maximum for areas under the footprint of the main structure given that the cut or fill does not exceed five percent of the main structure footprint. 5% of the proposed footprint of the home would allow approximately 666.15 square feet in area to exceed the ten foot maximum cut. This application proposes 53%, or 7,006 square feet of under roof area to exceed the maximum ten foot cut allowed. Staff has identified three objectives in reviewing cut and fill waiver requests for single-family residences. Those objectives are as follows: 1) To reduce the visual impacts of the proposed development as viewed from the adjacent properties and rights of ways. 2) To review the measures applied by the designer to minimize the amount of cut and fill on the lot. 3) To consider possible alternatives to the proposed plan that would conform to the ten -foot maximum cut or fill. This property is located on a peak of the ridgeline that is the highest developable property in the Firerock Country Club development. The proposed home has approximately 16,314 square feet of livable area with an overall building footprint of 13,323 square feet. This home could be developed with the same visual impact on the surrounding area with or without this cut waiver. The area of cut in excess of ten feet located under the footprint of the building and is completely concealed by the building fagade and the natural exterior grade. If the pool area beyond the ten - foot cut is raised to maintain a maximum of ten feet, this house could be constructed with the same visual impact as a house in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. Approval of this request would allow the property owner to have a buried, livable basement level in the home. If the exterior pool area were raised to maintain a ten -foot maximum cut, there would be no exterior evidence that this project has a cut greater than ten feet. On June 26, 2003, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this cut and fill waiver with a stipulation. The Planning Commission agreed with the fact that there would be no exterior evidence that a cut waiver existed, therefore the impact of the cut on the surrounding properties and the community is unnoticeable. Staff recommends approval of this cut and fill waiver with the stipulation that the exterior areas of the house plan maintain a maximum ten -foot cut.

This lot has 50 feet difference in elevation across the lot. The owner is requesting a Cut/Fill Waiver to allow cuts greater than 10 feet. All cuts (10' or greater) are inside the house and will not be visible from other residences or the street. The owner has cut this house into the mountain in order to minimize exposed fill slopes. This will allow the house to be blended into the mountain and will have a lesser visible impact on the top of the ridgeline of this mountain. This house has been designed with multiple floor levels in order to minimize a disturbance, as per cross-section B-B, we have twenty-two (22) feet difference in elevation between floors on bottom level.

The approval of Ordinance No. 03-14 is the final step in the budget process and authorizes the Maricopa County Finance Department to levy the appropriate property tax necessary to make the debt service payment for Fiscal year 2003-2004. Based on the final assessed property valuation of $323,385,230 the approximate tax rate per $100 of assessed value will be $0.4716 or $47.16 per $100,000 residential property.

Consideration of approving the Willdan proposal to provide PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING, ARCHITECTURAL, AND PLANNING OVERSIGHT FOR TRANSITION OF CODE ENFORCEMENT services. Staff Recommendation: Approve Fiscal Impact: Yes $33,450 Purpose of Item and Background Information: To manage the overall transition of the civilian code enforcement program. List All Attachments as Follows: Willdan proposal Tyne(s) of Presentation: verbal Signatures of Submitting Staff: Department Head Budget Review (if item not budgeted or exceeds budget amount) .,77 �3 Town Manager / Designee e:\bbender\documents\forms\agenda cover sheet 7-1 code enforcement.doc TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS Office of Town Manager INTER OFFICE MEMO TO: The Honorable Mayor Nichols and DT: June 27, 2003 Town Council FR: Tim Pickering, Town Manager RE: Proposal to manage the transition of code enforcement services The staff recommends approving the attached proposal from Willdan Company to manage the initial transition of code enforcement services from the Marshals Department to the Building Division. Willdan will provide a variety of needed services during this transition period such as supervising the Code Compliance Inspectors; reviewing and recommending changes to current policies, procedures, and code; assisting with selection and training of code compliance inspectors; determining record keeping system; and determining code enforcement equipment, vehicle, uniform, and communication needs. WHY DO WE NEED THIS CONTRACT? The Building Code Official, Peter Johnson who would supervisor the Code Compliance E Inspectors has a large workload currently because the Town's two Plan Reviewers resigned a �r few weeks ago and he has to review plans. Additionally he is training a new building inspector. Adding the supervision of two additional employees at this would impede the Town's ability to inspect buildings and review incoming plans. Basically he has too much on his plate to take on this responsibility by himself at this time. If the Building Division were running smooth and fully staffed I would be more comfortable with making the code enforcement transition without hiring a consultant, but I do not. COMPANY AND CONTRACTOR BACKGROUND Willdan is an engineering, planning, and financial management firm working with cities, towns, counties, special districts, as well as state and federal agencies. Established in 1964, Willdan has offices throughout California, Arizona, and Nevada that serve more than 400 public sector clients. The Town of Fountain Hills has used Willdan services in the past. Mr. John Poole will be our on -site provider of code enforcement management services. Mr. Poole has over 25 years of code enforcement supervisory experience. He is the recently retired Director of Code Enforcement from the City of Anaheim, California. Currently, Mr. Poole is also scheduled to be under contract with the City of North Las Vegas to begin their apartment inspection program. The Director of Public Works and I interviewed Mr. Poole and feel his unique background will serve Fountain Hills well during this start-up period. Mr. Poole will be on hand at the Council meeting to address any questions of the Council. COST $28,750 covers 250 hours anticipated for the entire six months of contract. Mr. Poole will spend 20 hours a week at Town Hall for the first two months of the contract. Reimbursement of travel will not exceed $4,700. The funding will be provided under the Building Division's professional service line item in the budget by not filling the third code compliance inspector position immediately, if at all. OTHER TRAINING & VENDOR OPPORTUNITIES The management service provided under this proposal will not replace on -going training and certification for each of the Town's Code Compliance Inspectors. Within the Phoenix area, there is an association of Code Enforcers called the Code Enforcement League of Arizona (C.E.L.A.). The Town will probably join this organization in order to have access to training seminars and certification for its employees. According to CELA's website, it does not perform management services similar to the ones we are contracting with Willdan. The staff did contact two other engineering firms as potential bidders. None of the firms would bid to provide code enforcement management services, thus we are recommending accepting Willdan's proposal. SUMMARY The Town Attorney has reviewed the proposal and determined the proposal is for professional services that do not require a formalized bid process. The staff recommends a motion to approve the Willdan proposal in the amount not to exceed $33,450. Should the Council have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. c: Tom Ward, Public Works Director Peter Johnson, Building Code Official Tpickering/tgp/my documents/codeenforcementcontract.doe/6.27/03 (61 �WILLDAN Serving Public Agencies June 23, 2003 Mr. Timothy G.
