Members Absent: Jim Johnson:
Others Present: Gary Lee, Dennis Marshal, Rick Williamson, Mr. & Mrs.

The Motion was made by Rountree and seconded by Shearer to approve the
minutes of the previous meeting held August 14, 1990 as written:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
Item #1: Preliminary Plat on Golf View Estates #2:
Ch airman Alidjani: I will now open the Public Hearing, is there anyone
present who wishes to testify on this issue?
Gary Lee, JUB Engineers, Lee was sworn by the City Attorney:
Lee: Golf View Estates #1 is located just to the east of this project,
this project is for 37 acres, there will be approximately 98 lots,
these will be single family residential, there will be seven common lots,
part of which wiil be landscaping lots along Cherry Lane, we have allowed
for some dual purpose common lots thoughout the project for a combination
of uses, primarily storm water retention and disposal that will also
second as a tot lot or park facility for the project. The size of the
lots will be roughly 100 x 110, there will be quite a few of them that
will be much larger, the average lot size will be 11,000 to 13,000 sq. ft.
Density on this project will run about 2i units per acre.This project will
be serviced with city water & sewer. As you are aware there is a lift
station in Cherry Lane Village, the plan is to abandon that lift station
and move it to the west to service this project. Went on to explain where
lift station would be located and what it would serve.There was a piece
property that was about Z acre in size in phase 2, just north of .phase 2
that belonged to Jim Fuller that was not included in the original concept
plan that you received, since that time Mr. Marshal has purchased that
parcel and it will be included in the phase 2 development. This will add
one additional lot and will eliminate that one small corner that was
between the Safford Lateral and what would have been Golf View Estates.
Explained where the water system would be. We met with ACHD yesterday
during their tec review of the preliminary plat, one of the major items
they pointed out was that they did not want to have White Ash Drive
appear to be a col lector street without improving it to that status, the
way it was originally presented it was a fairly straight shot from
Black Cat all the way to Interlachen, which tends to speed up traffic,
so we had our option to either designate that as a collector and in
doing so you have to have a wider street and you have to limit access
to it, the way this property is shaped on the westerly side there was
no way to do that so we opted for the option to break that traffic
pattern and offset the intersections and that is what the drawing is
that you have before you.Explained the street drainage.

On the irrigation issue, that particular project is served by Settlers
Irrigation, it is somewhat limited on the quantity of water that is
available to the parcel, we are going to have to take a close look at
using supplemental water on this particular situation, we intend to use
both, we will develop a take out structure some where in this project
probably in phase 3 or phase 4, to pickup the Settlers Irrigation water,
we will pressurize it through a pumping facility, in addition to that
we recommend that there be supplemental wells installed for irrigation
purposes, shallow wells, we are hoping to put these down in two or three
locations, with the anticipation we would have 200 gallons each, we are
in the process of preparing permits for that irrigation right. The
system will be operated and maintained by the Home Owners Association.
We will place a fence along the Stafford Lateral as we did in Phase I,
The Settlers Irrigation ditch will be relocated along the south and
westerly boundaries of the property, the other portion of the application
was a variance for street lights, we would like to continue system that
we now have in Golf View #1, and also in Cherry Lane Village, and that
is to use photo electric cell systems for yard lights. and in discussion
we would like to put in regular street light at the entrances and major
intersections. Cherry lane & Black Cat Road.There are two access on
Cherry Lane and one on Black Cat and we will put in lights at these
accesses. We have reviewed the City Engineers comments and will comply
with them.
Rountree: You indicated you would be relocating Settlers Canal to the
south and to the west, within the bounds of the property, will it be
tiled?
Lee: It will follow the bound of the property and will be tiled all the
way to Black Cat.
Rountree: On those common lots, you indicated they would be used for
dual purposes, when you landscape them and prepare them for storm
water dentention, do you plan on depressions on thos sites?
Lee: Yes, they will propbably be three feet deep, with a shallow slope.
Rountree: We do not have but I assume the CC& R have provisions for
collecting fees for the maintenance of these?
Lee: Yes:
Hepper: I have one question on the pressurized irrigation system, is that
going to be dry lines for now or are you going to have it set up where
it will be pressurized?
Lee: It is going to depend a lot on fast we can press that permit through
Water Resources for this Phase II in any event. It would make more sense
to put the well in Phase II and then the Settlers Irrigation later.
We will go ahead and put the dry lines in while we are processing the
permit get the permit to drill and then we will develop the well.
City Clerk: Are you going to drill the wells on the common lots?
Lee: Yes:
