Regular Agenda Wording: CONSIDERATION of RESOLUTION 2003-61 calling the March 9, 2004 Election.
Staff Recommendation: Approve Fiscal Impact: Yes 115,500 (approximately)
Purpose of Item and Background Information: Effective January 1, 1994, the Legislature changed the call and
notice of election requirements to apply only to special district elections. Although cities and towns are no longer
required by state law to adopt or publish either a call or notice of election, a call of election, in particular, remains
a good way to inform the public about the election and to alert candidates to filing dates.
This resolution will establish March 9, 2004 as the Primary Election date where Fountain Hills residents will be
asked to nominate and/or elect a mayor and three council members and May 18, 2004 as the General Election.
This resolution will provide notice to the public of the election dates and the purpose, deadline for voter
registration, and location and deadline for candidates to file their nomination papers. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of Resolution 2003-61.

This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon the ten (10) foot public utility
and drainage easements located at the northerly property line of Lot 7, Block 1, Plat 605D, (15262
E. Mustang Drive) as shown in Exhibit "A". The property owners of Lot 7 desire the assurance
that any future improvements made to the lot will not be infringed upon by the construction of
utilities. All affected utility companies have been notified of this abandonment proposal and have
approved of the proposed abandonment of this public utility easement.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the site to ascertain any drainage issues in addition to
the Town's general interest in the easement. It is the professional opinion of the Engineering
Department that there is no need for the Town to retain the drainage easement proposed to be
abandoned, with the understanding that certain lots within this subdivision are subject to lot -to -lot
drainage runoff. The property owners of Lot 7 are required to pass the developed flows generated
by the upstream lots across their property.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2003-56.

Town of FOUNTAIN HILLS
To the Honorable Mayor Nichols and Town Council,
The Committee wishes to thank the Mayor and Council for the privilege of serving in this capacity.
We all love Fountain Hills and want the best for our Town and have attempted to make our decisions
based on that desire.
I think it is appropriate to state that the land under question was appraised at nearly $32 million dollars
two years ago. State Land appraisals are only good for 6 months, so the land will have to be
reappraised no matter what happens. Due to the growing scarcity of land in the greater Phoenix area,
land values have been skyrocketing. In addition, when State Land has recently gone to auction, the
bidding price has been double the appraised price. These facts have been published widely during the
Committee's deliberations. The Committee is also aware of the Town's financial circumstances and
limited bonding capacity. To those who may question why the Committee did not focus more on how
the Town could acquire the land as open space, that is the answer.
After deliberation, the Committee makes the following recommendations regarding the 1278 acres of
State Trust land adjacent to the Town of Fountain Hills:
1. The Committee recommends that the State Land Department be contacted as soon as
possible to begin to work on a land use plan that will combine open space
preservation, parks and trails with a good development plan of most benefit to the
community; in other words, to plan for development and conservation at the same
time. State Land Commissioner Winkelman has indicated in the press that he favors
working with the Town of Fountain Hills in this manner. Along with this
recommendation, the Committee further suggests that:
A. The Town Council appoint a five -member committee to work with the State Land
Department on a development plan,
B. This committee work with both the State Land Department and any developer who
may purchase the land, and
C. Such a committee report to the Council and Town on a regular basis.

October 2, 2003
Page 2
The Committee agrees on the desirability of public parks, trails and open space in the State Lands.
Therefore, we recommend that the areas defined by Director of Parks and Recreation Mark Mayer be
part of the development plan and, if there is development, to have them provided by the developer as
an enhancement to the development as well as an asset for the Town.
2. The Committee recommends that the Town immediately apply for annexation. The
benefits of annexation seem to outweigh the burdens. Annexation will give the
Town income from development through building permits and impact fees. It will
also provide bargaining power for the Town in working with the developer on
cooperative planning and on limiting some of the possible negative effects of
development.
Since the application process under the State Land Department takes time and since there are rumors of
developers ready to bid on these lands, the Committee further recommends that the Town ask that the
lands be withheld from auction until the planning process is complete.
If it is determined that the application for annexation will not result in the land being withheld from
auction during the annexation process, then the Council may wish to request, prior to the expiration of
the withdrawal order, an extension of time. Since a demonstration of "significant progress" is required
with a request for an extension of time, the Council may also wish to consider a small bond measure to
purchase approximately 30 acres of land contiguous to the new middle school for a community park as
a way of demonstrating significant progress. In any case, the Committee recommends that the Council
take whatever steps necessary to show significant progress to request an extension of time.
Kindest regards,
` My Srhith, Chair

This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon the ten (10) foot public utility
and drainage easements located at the westerly property line of Lot 31, Block 4, Plat 605A, (15727
E. Mustang Drive) as shown in Exhibit "A". The property owners of Lot 31 desire the assurance
that any future improvements made to the lot will not be infringed upon by the construction of
utilities. All affected utility companies have been notified of this abandonment proposal and have
approved of the proposed abandonment of this public utility easement.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the site to ascertain any drainage issues in addition to
the Town's general interest in the easement. It is the professional opinion of the Engineering
Department that there is no need for the Town to retain the drainage easement proposed to be
abandoned, with the understanding that certain lots within this subdivision are subject to lot -to -lot
�r• drainage runoff. The property owners of Lot 31 are required to pass the developed flows generated
by the upstream lots across their property.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2003-54.

RE: Easement Abandonment 03-14
Randy Harrel, Town Engineer L
15603 E. Palisades Blvd.
Reviewed: T rd, Director of P blic Works
Plat 602A-1-19
This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon the ten (10) foot public utility
and drainage easements located at the southerly property line of Lot 19, Block 1, Plat 602A,
(15603 E. Palisades Drive) as shown in Exhibit "A". The property owners of Lot 19 desire the
assurance that any future improvements made to the lot will not be infringed upon by the
construction of utilities. All affected utility companies have been notified of this abandonment
proposal and have approved of the proposed abandonment of this public utility easement.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the site to ascertain any drainage issues in addition to
the Town's general interest in the easement. It is the professional opinion of the Engineering
Department that there is no need for the Town to retain the drainage easement proposed to be
abandoned, with the understanding that certain lots within this subdivision are subject to lot -to -lot
drainage runoff. The property owners of Lot 19 are required to pass the developed flows generated
by the upstream lots across their property.
(Please note: Your house's driveway front and right-of-way area will need to preclude water on
the frontage road from entering your property. Your driveway's high point will likely need to be
about 8" - 12" above the street gutter.)
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2003-55.

Staff Recommendation: Approve Fiscal Impact: No
Purpose of Item and Background Information: The standard appeals process, as outlined in section 2.07 of
the Zoning Ordinance, requires an applicant wishing to appeal requirements for items such as height, setbacks,
coverage, etc., to file a request for variance. The addition of a Special Use Permit appeal for these items is not
consistent with the appeal process required in the Zoning Ordinance. Staff has discussed this inconsistency with
the Town Attorney and is requesting that the appeal by Special Use Permit be eliminated to provide a process that
is consistent throughout the Zoning Ordinance and eliminate any confusion regarding the appeal process.

RE: Consideration of Ordinance 03-19.
Case # Z2003-09
This request is for consideration of Ordinance 03-19 amending Section 5.06 H and I of
the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance as it relates to requirements for accessory
buildings and solar units.
On May 16, 2002, Ordinance #02-08 was adopted, amending requirements for accessory
buildings and solar units. This amendment included a process to allow the requirements
to be appealed to the Town Council by Special Use Permit.
The standard appeals process, as outlined in section 2.07 of the Zoning Ordinance,
requires an applicant wishing to appeal requirements for items such as height, setbacks,
coverage, etc., to file a request for variance. The addition of a Special Use Permit appeal
for these items is not consistent with the appeal process required in the Zoning
Ordinance. Staff has discussed this inconsistency with the Town Attorney and is
requesting that the appeal by Special Use Permit be eliminated to provide a process that
is consistent throughout the Zoning Ordinance and eliminate any confusion regarding the
appeal process.
The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed this Ordinance at their September 26,
2003, meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval.

WEST: Eagles Nest Plat 506-B; zoned "R1-10"
SUMMARY:
This request is for approval of the final plat for "Eagles Nest Parcel 8", a 19 lot, four -tract single-
family subdivision. This is a replat of the Eagles Nest Final Plat, Parcel 8, in accordance with the
approved preliminary plat lot configuration for Eagles Nest.
This Final Plat is located within a private/gated master subdivision with access from the proposed
Mountain Parkway. The final plat provides 15 residential lots accessed from "Brushwood Dr.",
which is a 2,550 lineal foot hillside local road cul-de-sac. Lot 1 is accessed from Mountain
Parkway, and Lots 2 & 3 are accessed from "Copper Crest Dr.".
The maximum lot area proposed is 131,167 square feet, the minimum lot area is 45,469 square
feet, and the average proposed disturbance area for each lot is approximately 21,121 square feet.
The individual lot developer is required to grant to the Town, a hillside protection easement over
the remainder of the undisturbed lot area prior to building permit issuance.
M
EVALUATION:
On October 4, 2001, Town Council approved the preliminary plat for the Eagles Nest subdivision,
Case Number S1999-25, for 244 lots and one tract. On December 4, 2001, Town Council
approved the Final (Master) Plat for Eagles Nest, with eleven large parcels and the Mountain
Parkway private roadway (backbone road). This request is to subdivide Parcel 8 of the Final
(Master) Plat of Eagles Nest.
Staff has reviewed this final plat application and the improvement plans submitted by MCO
Properties against the approved preliminary plat, the approved final (master) plat, the approved cut
and fill waiver, and the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances as amended by the "Settlement
Agreement" approved by Town Council on December 4, 2001. This final plat substantially
conforms to all prior approvals and meets the requirements of the Settlement Agreement if
approved with Staff's stipulations.
The only modification made to this final plat from the approved preliminary plat is the horizontal
alignment of "Brushwood Dr.". The preliminary plat provided a lineal cul-de-sac roadway, which
has been slightly modified to incorporate a meander to follow the natural topography. This parcel
does not propose any joint use driveways to access the individual lots.
The following table provides the approved final plat lot count and disturbance area allocations,

FR: Bev Bender, Town Clerk
RE: Fountain Hills Re-Precincting
On Saturday, September 20, 2004 I attended the Maricopa County Elections' public hearing on
re-reprecincting.
Approximately 60 voting precincts will be re -drawn to implement the new Legislative Lines
adopted by the Independent Redistricting Commission and approved by the Department of
Justice.
Because of the consistent growth in the county, a number of precincts were created. This effort
is to accommodate the voters' ability to reach polling sites easier and reduce long lines at the
polls. This re-precincting will only affect voting precinct lines.
I have attached information from the Maricopa County website which reviews their process as
well a copy of each page listed in order to familiarize you with the public information being
provided: www.recorder.maricopa.gov/redistrict.
I will update the Council, as information becomes available. If you have any questions, I may be
contacted at 480-816-5115.

Dear Mayor/Town Council,
I am writing this e-mail because of the concern I have
regarding a possible Business Privilege Tax for service businesses
as mentioned in the Arizona Republic on 9/23/03 and again as an
editorial on 9/25/03.
In the Fountain Hills Times on 9/24/03, the article written
about the 5 year plan, a list of capital funding options were listed
but no mention of a Business Privilege Tax.
I feel the Town should be concerned with the welfare of our
businesses. Charging the service industry a tax will also effect all
Fountain Hills residents who use our services. As a business
person, I can not absorb the tax and would have to pass it on to my
customers.
Some people in Fountain Hills have the perception that
Fountain Hills businesses charge more for their services. This is
not true and I challenge anyone to compare prices for services
rendered by Fountain Hills businesses and out of the area
businesses.
So, how can the town generate additional revenue?
" To all people doing business in the Town of Fountain Hills,"
"Pursuant to local ordinance 90-8, section 8-1-1-A, it is unlawful
for any person to carry on any trade, calling, profession,
occupation or business within the town limits without first having
procured a license from the town to do so."
On 4/18/02, I requested a list from the town for all pest
control companies that have a license to do business in Fountain
Hills. That list produced 15 companies. I then conducted a visual
survey for the next 2 weeks and found 9 companies doing business
M
in Fountain Hills and not on the list. This is only one of many
service industries that are effected.
If the town can enforce their own ordinances and have
outsiders pay their share of fees, additional revenue would be
generated annually.
TAXING THE SERVICE INDUSTRIES IS NOT THE
BEST INTEREST FOR THE TOWN OR ITS RESIDENTS!
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Polese

STATE TRUST LAND SOLUTION
The membership of the Fountaan Hills Citizens for Preservation urges the Ad Hoc
Committe and the Town Council to carefully consider the following proposals under the
Arizona Preserve Initiative (API) as they relate to the 1281 acre State Trust Land at the
northeast corner of Fountain Hills (north, east and west of the middle school). This land
was re-clawified by Arizona in 1998 as suitable for conservation and was withdrawn from
the commercial market for five years --this designation expires on October 27th:
We propose that the Town immediately make a formal offer to the State Land
Department to purchase 100 to 200 acres of the parcel as a preserve. The land was
appraised 2-years ago at S23,000 per acre and is expected to be now worth S30.000 per
acre due to inflation. We also propose that the offer be accompanied by earnest money
in the amount of 10% with final payment due in 12 to 14 months.
We propose that the Town simultaneously request that the State Land Commissioner
grant a 3-year extension to the "suitable for conservation" status. The formal offer
described above will be evidence of progress in the acquisition of the property which is
a requirement for obtaining the extension. Approval of the extension will nullify any
decision on annexation.
We propose that the Town immediately apply for matching funds of up to $10 million
under the Growing Smarter State Trust Land Acquisition Program. There are carry
over funds in this program, adding considerably to the S20 million annual
appropriation and they are waiting to be tapped.
The proposals above are firmly founded in the statutes of the API of 19% as amended and
order #144-98M of the State Land Commissioner dated October 2 7,1998.
If, during the 3-year extension of the "suitable for conservation" status, the Town has the
disposition aad means to expand its holdings of the State Trust Land, or if there is a
constitutional change affecting trust lands, the opportunity will exist to expand. If not, the
Town will have saved at least a portion of the stunning desert at our doorstep for the
enjoyment of fature generations. We believe that the above proposals constitute a
compromise that would be broadly accepted by our citizens who are deeply concerned
about the profound impact to their life should the land be lost.
We need citizens continued support for this proposal! Please plan to attend the September
30th Public Foram (7om at the Community Center) and the October Zed Town Council
Meeting (6:30om at the Community Center), Also communicate your support with Town
Council members via email (see below). WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT kND

Re: State Trust Land Proposal
Date: September 24, 2003
For many residents, we would guess, the decision to live in Fountain Hills was based
prominently upon our small town atmosphere and magnificent environment.
Whatever its ultimate destiny, the potential impact of the state trust land upon our
community is so profound that the Town must go the extra mile in addressing this issue.
We are convinced that some level of ownership of the property by the Town is the judicious
way to proceed.
The assertions which follow are firmly founded on the statutes of the Arizona Preserve
Initiative, principally sections 37-311 (1); 37-312 F and G; 37-314 B, C, and D; and 37-315 B;
the Land Commissioner's order number 144-98/99, page 6, paragraph 3, dated October 27,
1998; and the manual of the Growing Smarter State Trust Land Acquisition Program.
1. We propose that the Town forthwith make a formal offer to the State Land
Department to purchase one hundred to two hundred acres of the parcel as a preserve -
Based on an appraisal of twenty-five thousand dollars per acre two years ago, we can
reasonably assume a current value of thirty thousand dollars per acre. We propose that the
offer be accompanied by earnest money in the amount of ten per cent.
2. We propose that the Town forthwith request the Commissioner to grant a three-year
extension of the withdrawal order, using the offer of purchase as prima facie evidence of
progress in the acquisition of the property. The extension would continue the existing
conservation status and render the issue of annexation moot for the immediate future.
3. Finally, we propose that the Town forthwith apply for matching funds under the
Growing Smarter State Trust and Acquisition Program There are carry-over funds in this
program, adding considerably to the twenty million dollar annual appropriation, and they
are waiting to be tapped. -
The likelihood of competition from a commercial entity at auction for the lesser parcel
during the withdrawal period is nil desperandum, since a covenant that runs with the land
would require that it be conserved, thus eliminating the profit motive.
If, during the three-year extension, the Town has the disposition and means to increase its
holdings in the parcel, or there is a constitutional change affecting trust lands, the
opportunity would exist to expand. If not, the Town would have saved at least a portion of
the stunning desert at our doorstep for the enjoyment of future generations. Not
coincidentally, the opportunity for a more limited development would still be present.
Were this Committee to view favorably the proposals contained herein, and were the
Council, based upon your recommendation, to vote to proceed, the services of a staff person
would be required to do the paper work related to application to purchase, updating the
management plan, application for a Growing Smarter grant, and requesting extension of the
withdrawal order. Fortunately, the greater portion of this material is still available from
2001.
Prior to filing an application, it is recommended that the proposal be discussed with the
Land Department's Arizona Preserve Initiative staff.
Concurrently, a group of perhaps four or five, working diligently in cooperation with the
State Land Department and reporting to Council, would be charged with identifying the
location and developing a legal description of the lesser parcel to be purchased.
We believe that the above proposals constitute a reasonable solution which would be given
broad acceptance by a community that is obviously greatly concerned over this issue.
It is the eleventh hour, but every crisis is also an opportunity. We ask you to think outside
the box, look beyond the horizon.
Thank vou.
