2000; We'd like to pull Item F to 1 F on the regular agenda; pull Item G to 1 G on

Item F. Tabled from September 5, 2000: Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law: AZ 00-009 Request for annexation and
zoning of 101.4 acres from RT to R-4 for proposed Autumn Faire
Subdivision by Gem Star Properties, LLC -southwest corner of
Black Cat and Ustick Roads:
Corrie: Now, the Regular Agenda. We will take up Item F which is pulled from
the Consent Agenda. This is the Item -Findings of Facts Conclusion of Law:
AZ 00-009 -request for annexation and zoning of 101.4 acres from RT to R-4 for
Autumn Faire Subdivision. Staff, comments.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. The revisions to the proposed
findings after I received a letter from the attorney for the applicant pointed out
some corrections that needed to be made. I can go through those fairly quickly.
This is on the annexation and zoning. Page 1, we had incorrectly listed Langley
Farms as the applicant, when in fact it was Gem Star Properties, so we made
that correction. Then down to page 6 -what previously was Item 16.8 and 16.10
in the previous ones were duplications, so we just left 16.8 and moved the rest of
them up. Then, the next item, which was also on page 6, which is Item 16.13 in
the revised findings, they wanted us to designate where this pathway was going

to be so that they'd know exactly which lots were to be shortened by 10 feet.
That was what the testimony was. It-was only along that southern. boundary
where the Sky Pilot Drain is. So, it's just a further clarification on the pathway
that was going to be provided as part of the development. Then there was
another duplicate portion which was eliminated that had to do with the donation
of the park site or in lieu thereof - in lieu of the impact fees the letter of credit. So
I simply just straightened that part of it up. Those are pretty much the only
revisions that were anything of substance that were made. Of course, the
corresponding conditions were also changed.
Corrie: Okay. Council, with those changes, do you want to motion for accepting
the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law?
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law on
the request for annexation and zoning for 101.4 acres from RT to R-4 for
proposed Autumn Faire Subdivision by Gem Star Properties, LLC with comments
from legal counsel.
Anderson: I'll second that.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law of the annexation and the conditions of the Preliminary Plat
on G. with the corrections that were made by the attorney. Any further
discussion? Hearing none. Roll-call vote please, Mr. Berg.
Roll-call: Anderson, aye; De Weerd, aye; Bird, aye; McCandless, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item G. Tabled from September 5, 2000: Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law: PP 00-009 Request for Preliminary Plat
approval for 78.4 acres with 263 building lots and 12 other lots for
proposed Autumn Faire Subdivision by Gem Star Properties -
southwest corner of Black Cat and Ustick Roads:
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. On Item G, again, there were
some corresponding clean-up of the proposed findings. Again, in reference to
Dean Langley, we incorrectly noted him as the applicant when he was the
representative of the owner, rather than the applicant. That was a change that
was cleaned up. On page 6, under Item 2.9, which had to do with the landscape
buffer, the minimum is 20 feet. They were proposing 20 feet, and we had down
as 30, so it should reflect the 22 feet that's shown on the plat. So that's a
r`~ _

correction that we made there. Then, in the revised Preliminary Plat that had
been submitted, one of the longer blocks had been broken up by a micro-path
which eliminating the necessity of going for a variance on the block length. So
we needed to reflect that in the findings. Then there were some items with
regard to streets that referenced ACRD recommendations which needed to be
revised slightly and then referral reference to the proposed park which is actually
in proposed Autumn Faire Subdivision 2, which has not yet come before you,, but
that needed to say Autumn Faire No. 2 and we had to make that correction. I
believe there was another one which had to do with when the stub, street, sewer
and water to the proposed park site would be constructed that we didn't have the
correct phase noted. So all of those things are not substitute -the major
(inaudible) changes just simply cleaning it up.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I would make a motion that we approve the Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order for the Preliminary Plat approval for
78.4 acres - 263 building lots and 12 other lots proposed by the Autumn Faire
Subdivision by Gem Star Properties with the comments the City Attorney has
incorporated.
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law on Item No. PP 00-009, Item G. with the comments of the
attorney included. Any further discussion? Hearing none. Roll-call vote, Mr.
Berg.
Roll-call: De Weerd, aye; Bird, aye; McCandless, aye; Anderson, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item H. Tabled from September 5, 2000: Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law: VAC 00-005 Request for vacation of the
alley intersecting East 1St between Pine Avenue and Idaho Street
on the east side currently in an OT zone for Generations Plaza by
Gary Benoit -East 1St and East Pine Avenue:
Corrie: Okay. Item H was also pulled. This was tabled from the September 5,

of the alley intersecting East 1St between Pine Avenue and Idaho Street on the
east side currently in an OT zone for Generations Plaza by Gary Benoit -East
1St and East Pine Avenue.

Brown: If you want to make a substitute motion I'll let you do that but I think that we
should leave it with the parks department and the developer to work it out. It is more
reasonable.
Hatcher: Very well.
Borup: Okay. So the motion was to approve with the staff comments 1-8 and 1-4 on
requirements and to include a park site south of the drain. Is that essentially your
motion. Okay. Do we have a second?
Norton: Do we need to include the stub street.
Borup: No, that will be on the plat.
Hatcher: I second the motion.
Borup: Any discussion? All in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
13. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR.PI~LtINt~A~I( P4AT OF 78.4 ACRES
FROM RT TO R-4 FOR PROPOSED AUTUMN FAIRE SUBDIVISION B~-.GEM
~.~AR PROPERTIES, LLC -SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BLACK CAT AND
"U5TICK ROADS:
Borup: Brad. Anything additional?
Hawkins Clark: I'd like to spend the next hour going over some---nothing further to add.
Brown: Is it a needed requirement that that be a lot in the Subdivision for the park site.
Borup: As long as it is in the city limits and has a legal description and its got access to
that -
Brown: (Inaudible) building permit other than a one or two holer.
Hawkins Clark: There is an existing 100 acre and essentially they are coming in for a
plat on one, so that creates a remnant 22.5 acres. That remnant piece its going to be
section land so if your saying-I am not aware of any ordinance that says a city park
well site anything is required to be included in a Subdivision. I need to check on that.
Borup: The larger parks have not been.

Hawkins Clark: At this point it would be very difficult it seems to be especially for the
developer to develop a meets and bounds description for a park site before the next
City Council meeting. There are issues to be worked out with accessibility.
Borup: It depends on how fast Mr. Kuntz and his department can get moving. Sounds
like the developer feels they can do it if an agreement on the exact location can be
worked out and the location is going to have to be at one of the two stub streets. Or
another stub street need to be provided.
Hawkins Clark: Parks technically are not permitted outright in the R-4 zone. It would
require a conditional use permit. If it is designated as a lot in a plat it does not require a
conditional use permit.
Borup: If it was not a lot then it would require a conditional use permit.
Hawkins Clark: That's correct.
Borup: So between now and City Council it does need to have a specific lot designated.
We said that. So we add one lot to the plat apparently, unless we want to come back in
with a conditional use permit and rezone and everything else. Sounds like they are
prepared to have that added. Mr. Stanfield any other comments you'd like to make.
Stanfield: We will do whatever it takes to keep us moving along and get this park
shown on our preliminary plat for council meeting and recognize we have to show it
before the agenda is set for the next council meeting. We will work with the parks
department. We will meet ACHD's requirements on stub streets, 3 locations. The well
lot will be shown and all those conditions will be met except for ---we can meet all of the
conditions.
Borup: Do we have anyone else.
Langley: I just want to mention again since I don't believe I heard conclusion on the
issue of the page 9 number 11 issue on the stub on the south parcel and the vehicular
access on the north.
Borup: Those are both or will be included in the preliminary plat. Yes.
Norton: Mr. Chairman I'd like to close the public hearing.
Barbeiro: I second the motion.
Borup: All in favor.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES

Brown: I recommend approval of the preliminary plat of approximately 277 lots on more
than 78 acres for the Autumn Faire Subdivision by Gem Star, LLC on the southwest
corner of Ustick and Black Cat subject to staff recommendations with the inclusion of
the two stubbed roads (inaudible) by the applicant and the access on the northeast
corner also.
Norton: I will second that motion.
Borup: All in favor.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Borup: Our policy is to close this meeting by 1 o'clock

GENERATIONS PARK PLAZA BUILDING 1-FIRST AND IDAHO:
Frown: Mr. Chairman, I would move that these people don't sit through this. We are
not going to get to those last two items. I just don't see that we are going to do it and
these people are going ---
Borup: We had one public testimony on this item, but I would tend to agree. You
proposing that we move it to the next meeting.
Brown: I just don't see it happening and I feel really poorly for these people that sit here
and at 1 o'clock we tell them we are not going to go. That is my feeling.
Borup: Your proposing that we move 16 and 17 to next meetings agenda. Do we have
enough room on that agenda to add -
Hatcher: If we were going to move it, we should have moved it hours ago. Not now.
Borup: This could be first on the agenda of that meeting because it will not be noticed
so we could revise that agenda. How do you commissioners feel?
Hatcher: I concur with Kent's idea. We are probably not going to get to this within the
next hour, but if we were going to propone it we should have done it several hours ago
so these people did not have to sit here all night only to hear that we are postponing it.
Borup: I think we brought that up.
