THE TOWN OF PINETOP-LAKESIDE, ARIZONA, HELD TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2004, AT

DISCUSSION

Vice Chairman Forbeck noted that in the Minutes the phrase “great at need” should be “GRADE

at need”.

Mr. Esparza stated that the Town Attorney, Jack Barker, determined that since there is no

maximum number of parking spaces indicated in the code, the Commission cannot stipulate that

Dollar General decrease the number of parking spaces. Mr. Esparza further stated that a lot of

the trees at the Dollar General site would have to come out because of poor health, stressed, and

diseased. The landscape architect will be contacting Steve Campbell and Jan Mathis. Mr.

Esparza suggested that the Commission go on a field trip with Mr. Campbell and Ms. Mathis.

Mr. Esparza stated that ADOT has now decided that they will not allow a driveway cut on Hwy

260 for Dollar General access. They feel that access should be on Pinecrest Lane instead. That

creates issues for the Town. If Dollar General contests it, they will be required to do a traffic

impact study. ADOT was definitely in the loop the whole time, but now have decided that

highway access will not be allowed.

Mr. Esparza reminded the Commissioners whose seat had expired to submit a letter of interest if

they would like to continue on the Commission.

The November 2

nd

meeting falls on the day of the general election, so Mr. Esparza asked that the

Commissioners think of an alternate date for a meeting. At this point, it looks like there will be a

public hearing regarding all 50 acres of Pinetop Meadows. It was decided to hold the Regular

Meeting on Wednesday, November 3, 2004.

Vice Chairman Forbeck reminded everyone that there would be a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. on

Monday, October11, 2004 to discuss changes to the subdivision regulations.

Medium Density Residential. This is made in conjunction with a request for a zone

change from R-LOW to R1-2 for the same parcel. The parcel is located behind the

Safeway Center.

Mr. Esparza discussed a memo that he had distributed concerning a land use matrix. Under

parcel is 11.15 acres and is located behind the Safeway Center. The applicant is Ray

& Julie Mehan and Robert & Stephanie Terrell.

Mr. Esparza presented the staff report and explained that the zone change request was for the

upper 11.15 acres. The applicants are asking for uniform zoning to match the majority of the

subdivision. Staff recommends the requested zone change from R-LOW to R1-2 of APN 211-

24-005B, with the stipulation that be added that if this zoning does advance to the Town Council,

they would have the preliminary plat in conformance with what the Commission is currently

being shown.

Mr. Robert Terrell updated the Commission on the site and Mr. Ray Mehan stated they were

working with the Fire Department and that the roads are now 25’ wide. Mr. Mehan also stated

that they still hope to put in a well that will pump water through the area all the time. Discussion

was held on the proposed plans.

public and that stipulation would be included in the CC&Rs.

Vice Chairman Forbeck moved to approve the zone change for APN 211-24-005B from (R-Low)

Rural residential to (R1-2) Single-family residential with the stipulation that the preliminary plat

is substantially the same as the one shown tonight and with the trails open to the public. It was

behind the Safeway Center. The applicant proposes a 19-unit resort rental cabin

development with office-restaurant pads. The applicant is Ray & Julie Mehan and

Robert & Stephanie Terrell.

Mr. Esparza presented the staff report and stated that Staff recommends approval of the request

for a PUD zoning designation for a portion of APN 211-24-005A.

Mr. Terrell stated that Steve Campbell felt the site would meet firewise requirements easily.

Exact information on cabins, sites, parking etc. will be available soon. They will be

reintroducing some native species, such as Arizona Walnut, into the landscaping.

Mr. Mehan stated that they were working with the shopping plaza to stop the flow of trash. They

might make a log fence (from the trees cut down at the site) covered in chicken wire that would

stop the trash.

Discussion was held concerning the site and possible future plans for the area.

Commissioner Smith moved to go into Public Hearing at 7:10 p.m. It was seconded by Vice
