De Weere:!: Okay. Items 13, 14 and 15 are AZ. 04-019, PP 04-026, and CUP 04.028, all

Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, you may recall the name Ventana.
This is a remand, so what I'm going to do is fm going to give you a real brief overview of
the project and, then, go back and look at what you asked for in the remand and how
they have responded to that. The site is located on Meridian Road just north of
McMillan. The proposed junior high school is just south of this project. Saguaro
Canyon is just to the east and, then, Paramount is to the west. The preliminary plat
does show 220 single-family detached residential lots and, then, 17 common lots on
64.48 acres. The total amount of open space is 6.71 acres or 10.4 percent of the site.
The applicant is requesting a planned development approval of a planned development,
for a reduction of dimensional standards and I will go through those a little bit. Minimum
Jot size, they would reduce to 6,388 from 6,500. Lot frontage requirement, a minimum
of 40 is proposed, instead of the 65. Proposed cord length is a minimum of 35 and
instead of the required 40. And, then, the proposed block length is greater than 1,500
square - or 1,500 feet, instead of the 1,ocQ.foot maximum.. As part of that planned
development the applicant is proposing a number of amenities. They indude the 10.4
percent open space that I just mentioned, playground equipment, and a clubhouse with
restrooms at the center of the site and I will - it's actually easiest to see on this one the
landscape areas. This is the clubhouse area. And then -- dubhouse with restrooms
and a swimming pool. And, then, while not addressing the applicant's leiter, they are
also proposing a multi-use public pathway as an amenity and it connects top a Saguaro
Canyon and comes through the site to Meridian Road. Okay. Now, I'm going to go
back and explain some of the changes that they made. This is the original site plan and
I just wanted to point out the areas - some of the key areas. One was these long,
skinny, open spaces that open more to the lots that front it, rather than the streets and,
in particular, the discussion with Mr. Priddy was - to the north about the design of these
lots and the size of these lots next to his bull, specifically, so -- and, then, to the south
we have the - the school district property and, then, there was two pathways -
Micro-paths that connected to the school. And, then, here was another open space
and, then, the central open spaces still at the terminus of their collector entry road and
