DISCUSSION/CONSIDERATION

RE: PUD 05-014

Discussion on a request for a rezone to (PUD), Planned Unit Development of a 15-

acre parcel located south of the Lakeside Summer Homes. The current zoning is

R1-4. APN 212-29-181. The applicant is Westco Development Corp.

Mr. Esparza presented the staff report detailing the proposal and reiterated that no action would

be taken on the plan at this time. No public hearings have been scheduled at this time. Mr.

Esparza stated that the development would be at the upper end of medium density.

Commissioner Irwin asked what type of houses are planned for such small lots and John

Murphy, the Engineer, explained that they would be site-built homes specifically designed for

the lots. They would be about 1,000 to 1,500 square feet.

Vice Chairman Forbeck stated that a PUD must have meaningful open space and asked whether

people will have access to the open space areas. Mr. Murphy stated that access would be created

to the open spaces.

Mr. Murphy was uncertain whether there would be fences required.

The drainage of the area was discussed. Mr. Murphy stated that the drainage study has not been

done yet.

Mr. John Mahon, of Yeager Lane, stated that he is a certified engineering technician. He stated

that the pavement on Yeager is so distressed that any construction traffic will destroy it. Also, a

big issue is the drainage, which will drain from the subdivision onto Yeager, and if there is a lot

of water, lots 177, 178, and 179 will be inundated.

Mr. Mahon stated that he feels the subdivision is too dense for the area. Mr. Mahon also stated

that some lots on Summer Haven have had a view of the meadow forever would now have a

view of a subdivision and it would be a view of the backs of the homes. He further stated that

the people in their backyard will have a view of him naked in Summer Haven.

Vice Chairman Forbeck stated that whether or not the meadow gets rezoned, anyone can come in

and put up to 60 homes there. Mr. Mahon wanted to know why just two or two and a half lots

per acre be developed, rather than four per acre. Vice Chairman Forbeck stated that the zoning

allows up to four per acre and it is a property rights issue. Mr. Mahon stated that allowing a

cookie-cutter development in the middle of older homes would affect the resale price of the older

homes. Allowing construction traffic onto Yeager will destroy it and the residents along Yeager

will be the ones who have to pay to repave.

Ms. Barbara Teague of Lakeside questioned whether the meadow area had always been zoned R

1-4 and was informed that it had. She also asked where the area got its water and was told it was

from Arizona Water.

Mr. Steve Gates, Lot 172 of Wonderland Acres, asked if there was a minimum lot width and was

told that there was a minimum of 100’, but in a PUD they can “mass” their lots as long has they

provide for 30% open space. Mr. Gates also was concerned with the drainage and stated that per

a study done by Frontier Engineering, the drainage channel would need to be 10 to 18 feet wide

and handle at least three feet of water.

Mr. Gates also expressed his concerns regarding the amount of traffic that will be generated in

the area and whether the roads can handle it. Discussion was held concerning Yeager Lane and

whether or not it could handle so much additional traffic and if it would need to be widened.

Mr. Murphy asked what the main concerns were and what they could do to assuage them. The

main concerns were the drainage, traffic on Yeager, and the density of houses that backs up to

those on Navajo Lane. Commissioner Irwin stated that she felt that having such little lots right

up against the larger lots is a concern. They would like to see something that is more in keeping

with the character of the neighborhood. The possibility of lessening the density was discussed.

6.

DISCUSSION/CONSIDERATION

RE: SPR 05-206

Discussion on a proposed site plan for a new professional office-commercial center

to be located at 4700 W. White Mountain Boulevard. The current zoning is C-1.

APN 212-29-022B. The applicant is Timothy Shaffery.

Mr. Esparza presented the staff report and stated that a Design Review has been held.

Mr. Shaffery stated that the one ingress/egress would be sufficient. He also stated that they

would not be touching the wash area. Site B will be developed first, with the first building being

his office.

7.

UPDATE on the proposed Mountainside Development Regulations and PUD 05-013

scheduled for action on January 4, 2005.

Mr. Esparza stated there would be a public hearing on February 1, 2005 on both the

Mountainside Development Regulations and PUD 05-013. Some comments concerned the cost

of implementing the Mountainside Development Regulations and the width of the driveways.

Some of the comments received regarding the PUD concerns neighbors wanting less

development on that acre rather than the six houses.

8.
