Presentation from Mark Moore, OV Water Department, on the proposed Well p Site for Oro Valley Water Utility. Mark Moore, Oro Valley Water, gave a brief PowerPoint presentation regarding the new well at SPR. Robert Jacklitch, Oro Valley Water, also was in attendance. They would like HPC's direction on the site plan and architectural concept/theme. They would also like direction and/or possible assistance in the savage of materials when the barn is demolished. Discussion points: - Security. - Time frame: next FY proceed with drilling the well, putting the casing in ground and capping it. - Design wall and equipment in FY 10/11. - Council has given the Water Department direction to proceed. There is not a signed agreement, but a set dollar amount of funding was approved. The Water Utility is buying the right to be there; the Town will still own the site. HPC cannot vote for no well. - The Task Force designated the location for the pump because access easement from the north only utilizes the well site itself. - Demolition of the barn will take less than a week and will include salvage of the barn door and other materials. - HPC should prepare a list of materials to salvage and monitor the work. - Demolition of the barn will not affect any grants. - A couple of Commissioners should work with staff on architecture to bring examples back at a later meeting. - A 5,000 gallon horizontal tank will be on the site. - Civil engineering would address grade and water flow. - Opportunity to development interpretive story about water.

The State committee reviewing applications for listings is where it is p now. There may be a special meeting in June or July to review the application. Regarding the funding options for building and site improvements, Council Member Latas, Chair Baughman, and Scott Nelson met with Commissioners Spoerl and Zwiener, consultants from Poster Frost, and Linda Mayro from the County Preservation office and discussed funding options including County bond money, and came up with a punch list of what needs to be done this year to stabilize and protect structures. Council has $770,000 available now, pending final approval of the budget, which is what is needed to do all the stabilization and reconstruction of the pump house. Chair Baughman praised Councilperson Latas for her hard work. Mr. Nelson met and mobilized the contractor that oversaw the SABHA stabilization work. The structural engineer outlined what needed to be done to stabilize before the monsoon. This should be done within three days, which will get us through until the budget is passed.

More, FAICP, Planning and Zoning Director SUBJECT: Oro Valley Water Utility Well Project at Steam Pump Ranch (SPR) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Water Utility is proposing to build a well site at the northeast corner of Steam Pump Ranch (see attached Conceptual Well Site Plan). The well site would be comprised of a 75-foot square area (see attached exhibits 1-2) that will be screened with an architectural wall. An access drive from Steam Pump Village and staging area are included for operations and maintenance. The wall will be designed for compatibility with the remainder of the property (see attached Exhibits 3-4). The existing barn, which is not a historic structure, will be demolished to accommodate the well site. BACKGROUND The proposed well site is consistent with the approved Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan, but the timing of the well site had been anticipated during the final build out phase (see attached Town Council Communication and letter from the Water Utility Director). On July 2, 2008, the Town Council approved the Water Utility's request to move up the timeframe for the well site location, subject to securing an alternate access to the well site via the Steam Pump Village commercial center. The Water Utility has secured such an access easement. Staff and the Water Utility are currently in negotiations for the proposed well site. Issues being discussed include compensation for the land, undergrounding existing electrical, future infrastructure credits and salvaging barn doors prior to barn demolition. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS First, with regards to the barn demolition, staff recommends that the barn doors be salvaged. The SPR Master Plan Unless the Commission has additional comments or considerations, the Water Utility may proceed with demolition permits. Typically, development within a historic district (SPR is not yet so designated) is reviewed against established criteria for things such as color, materials, proportion, projections and recessions, size, mass and scale, form, and rhythm. While the well site is not actually a building, rather a walled enclosure, the scale is rather large. The design of the enclosure should be compatible with the architectural style of the buildings on the property. The Water Utility has proposed a wall which encloses an area over 5,600 square feet, with a rustic gate. The wall is masonry block with stucco in a shade of brown, with a modified pueblo "roofline" TOWN OF ORO VALLEY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION COMMUNICATION Pa t e 2 of 3 and faux windows to break up the long expanse of wall. The faux windows are arched and appear to have a material replicating window blinds. Other buildings on the site are lighter in color, or exposed adobe brick. The wall color and/or texture g can be modified to match either of those designs based on the Commission's recommendation. Should the Commission agree that the use of faux windows to break up the mass of the wall structure is appropriate,ro riate, staff suggests that the form of the windows be modified to rectangular in shape to be consistent with the historic structures on the site and that there be a minimum of three p - even)ys aced windows on each elevation. While most of the historic buildings on the site have pitched rooflines, the garage /workers' housing building has a flat roof. None of the buildings have a roofline similar to that shown on the conceptual drawings. Staff suggests that the wall be modified to eliminate the "roofline" variations. In addition, while a ranch fence might be more appropriately open the use of a solid wall to enclose the modern well site equipment is appropriate. Other items that are not indicated on the conceptual drawings include security, sound attenuation measures and lighting for the well site. Staff will present security examples from existing well sites at the meeting and request direction from the Commission. As a part of the SPR Master Plan, we discussed sound attenuation for the well pump. The Water Utility will also be requested to address these items at the meeting. Per the Zoning Code, staff recommends a ten foot landscape buffer be provided surrounding the wall on all four sides. It is also not clear what surfacing materials are proposed for the access drive. PROCEDURAL INFORMATION Per the funding agreement with Pima County, this proposal will be reviewed by the Pima County Cultural Resources Manager, Historic Preservation Office. Should she have additional recommendations, they will be incorporated into the final plan for the site. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission review the proposed well site and provide direction with regards to the demolition of the barn and potential materials salvaging and the construction of a new well site with wall enclosure. Specific direction on design elements will be particularlyuseful. Further, staff recommends that the final design return to the HPC for approval. SUGGESTED MOTION: I move to approve the Oro Valley Water Utility well site in accordance with the following conditions: 1. The final plans be returned to the Historic Preservation Commission for approval. 2. The color and/or texture of the wall are 3. The "roofline" of the wall is modified to remove projections. 4. The faux windows are modified to be rectangular in shape, with a minimum of three per elevation. 5.

TOWN OF ORO VALLEY EXHIBIT 5 Page 1 of 2 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: July 2, 2008 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & COUNCIL FROM: Robert Jacklitch, Project Manager Philip C. Saletta, P.E., Water Utility Director SUBJECT: Discussion and/or possible action regarding the proposed Well Site at Steam Pump Ranch SUMMARY: At the Council meeting on June 4, 2008 Council Member Carter requested and Vice Mayor Kunisch seconded to further discuss the proposed well site at Steam Pump Ranch. At the May 21, 2008 Council meeting the Master Plan for Steam Pump Ranch was accepted. The Master Plan includes a proposed well site, but not until the Full Build-Out Phase is complete. Water Utility Staff worked closely with the Steam Pump Ranch Task Force and attended numerous meetings regarding the Master Plan. As part of those discussions, the Water Utility requested that a proposed well be considered in the initial phase of the Steam Pump Ranch project. Attached are two memoranda regarding our previous request. Timing is essential in determining the location of a proposed well site because two existing wells in this vicinity continue to lose production. The Utility needs to recover this lost capacity in order to continue to provide reliable water supply to our customers. These deficiencies were identified last year and replacement wells were included in the Utility's 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. The Water Utility is respectfully requesting consideration for a well site to be located at Steam Pump Ranch prior to the Pre-Opening Phase of the project. The Utility is committed to designing and constructing an aesthetic site that would meet the Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan requirements. Additionally, the Utility would share in costs related to land, site access and other amenities. Water Utility Staff believe that including the well site in the Pre-Opening Phase, construction of the well would have the least disturbance to the development as a whole. The well site could also serve to educate the public on water supply and is consistent with the "water history"of the original ranch. Location is also a critical factor when planning a well site. The Steam Pump Ranch site is an optimal location for a well site based on the hydrogeology and aquifer characteristics. Recent studies show the aquifer at this site can sustain long term groundwater production. The Arizona Department of Water Resources will allow the Utility to transfer an existing well permit to the proposed Steam Pump Ranch well. Additionally, because of the location, off site costs related to connecting the proposed well to the existing system will be minimized. Water Utility Staff will be prepared to make a presentation on this matter and answer any questions at the Council Meeting. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY Page 2 of 2 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: July 2, 2008 FISCAL IMPACT: The project would be paid by water sales revenue and would be included in the FY 09-10 capital improvement budget designated as —Steam Pump Well. Costs shared by the Water Utility will benefit the Town. An overall savings will occur due to reduced costs for trying to acquire land in that area for a well site. SUGGESTED M0TION: I move to allow for the construction of a well site by the Oro Valley Water Utility prior to the Pre-Opening Phase at Steam Pump Ranch. The well site would be located as shown in the approved Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan and the Water Utility is directed to coordinate with the Town Manager and Planning and Zoning Department regarding the aesthetics, architecture, access and cost sharing for land and infrastructure. Or I move to ATTACHMENTS: 1. Memorandum to Mayor and Council 2. Memorandum to Historic Preservation Committee / jaie:21 Robert Jac /hecanager r/ Philip C. Saiitta, P.E., Water tility Director David Andrews, Town Manager 3. DISCUSSION AND/OR POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE PROPOSED WELL SITE AT STEAM PUMP RANCH Water Utility Director Philip Saletta reviewed a PowerPoint presentation and highlighted the following: Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan was approved by Council on May 21, 2008. The Master Plan included a proposed well site as part of the build-out phase. -V The Oro Valley Water Utility (OVWU) prefers that the well site be included prior to the opening phase. — OVWU will build facility to meet the architectural and historical aspects of the site. OVWU will provide noise abatement. OVWU will share in costs for infrastructure, roadwork, access and land. Mr. Saletta further reviewed proposed water well sites, high production zones and addressed issues with several of the current wells. He explained that placing a well at Steam Pump Ranch would help expand the Town's sphere of water production. He also reviewed possible security walls, noise abatement for pumps and landscaping of security walls. In response to a request from Vice Mayor Kunisch, Bill Adler, Oro Valley resident and member of the Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan Task Force, explained that two locations for the proposed well site were considered. He explained that the Task Force recommend placement in the "panhandle" as the most desired location. He further explained that the timing of the well installation was discussed but it was suggested that it be placed into the second phase as the Water Utility staff had not noted that it was a necessity at this time. In response to questions from the Council, Mr. Saletta presented the following information: -y Total space requirement for a new well would be about one quarter of an acre. - Depth would be approximately 800 feet. - Depth of original well is unknown but old agricultural wells did not penetrate the aquifer so it was probably less than 600 feet. Access road to the well. Town's two wells (Wells C & D) on east side of Oracle Road would not be abandoned as they are still good water producers. Once the production levels are reduced, the cascading problems in the wells would be alleviated (pumps and motors would be pulled and resited if necessary to get optimum level of production). - New well would be put into the 2009/2010 budget and OVWU would like to have it on line by 2010. Currently do not pay rent for any water facilities. - Need to ensure that the proposed new well would not interfere with other Town wells and the well located at the nursery located across Oracle Road). Also, need to stay as close to the "sweet spot" as possible. C-9 well on Pusch View Lane will be on line by fall of the current year. MOTION: A motion was made by Council Member Carter and seconded by Vice Mayor Kunisch to direct the Water Utility to move forward with the planning process for the well at Steam Pump Ranch. MOTION carried, 7-0. ORO VALLEY WATER UTILITY MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Mayor and Council From: Philip C. Saletta, P.E., Water Utility Director 1 -- Via: David Andrews, Town Manager • Subject: Steam Pump Ranch Well Site —Phase 1 Date: May 21, 2008 Mayor and Council Regular Meeting The Oro Valley Water Utility (OVWU) attended two Steam Pump Ranch Task Force meetings to discuss and share information regarding the need for a production well at Steam Pump Ranch. The Ranch is located in an ideal location for groundwater production and is directly above the Town's most productive portion of the aquifer. This was discussed with the Task Force and was a point of emphasis. We discussed two existing production wells which need to be replaced and that serve the same pressure zone that serves the Steam Pump Ranch area. OVWU communicated a willingness to aesthetically treat the security wall around the well in a fashion that works with the overall architectural theme of the complex. Furthermore, we expressed a willingness to contribute monies to the development, amounts of which would be discussed in the future with Town Management. The OVWU believes the potential well site at Steam Pump Ranch should be allowed to be constructed in Phase 1. We are requesting your consideration to allow the potential well to be constructed in Phase 1, prior to the Build Out Phase as proposed by the Task Force. This request is based on the growing need to supply customers along the Oracle Road corridor and that OVWU needs to replace two existing wells in the area. We would like to be able to drill at the Steam Pump Ranch property in fiscal year 2008-2009. Bringing the well on line before the site develops is the least intrusive and, as previously g g . mentioned, OVWU will work closely with the design team to build a security wall that blends in with the architectural theme of the developed site. We thank you for your consideration in this matter and ask that you also refer to the attached memorandum to the Historical Preservation Committee. C: Sarah More ORO VALLEY WATER UTILITY INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM To: The Town of Oro Valley Historic Preservation Committee From: Philip Saletta, P.E., Water Utility Director Subject: • Steam Pump Ranch Well Site Date: April 10, 2008 Oro Valley Water Utility (OVWU) was asked to be involved and has participated on Task Force . for the Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan. We appreciate this opportunity and fully support the - process for the Master Plan. Mark Moore and Robert Jacklitch attended the Task.Force Meetings on behalf of OVWU. Oro Valley Water Utility is facing challenges for locating additional well sites for our community water supply. As part of the Master Plan process, it was discussed with the Task Force that the Steam Pump Ranch is an excellent location for a well site. The aquifer beneath the Town property at Steam Pump Ranch has excellent groundwater production capacity. Locating a well on this property, benefits the Town and its water customers by constructing a well in the most efficient and productive area of the aquifer. The Task Force was cooperative regarding our request and we appreciate their willingness to include a potential well site as part of the Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan. The timing of this well and when it is constructed is important to the Towns water supply. When we can drill and construct a replacement well is critical to the needs of the community and maintaining the level of water. supply. It is my understanding that the Task Force listed a potential well site as part of the Build-Out (or Phase 2) of the Steam Pump Master Plan. We request that a potential well site be considered in Phase 1 of the Master Plan, so OVWO can proceed with the drilling of a needed replacement well in Fiscal Year 2008-09. This request is based upon timing and need for our existing water supply. We are currently investigating the possibility of replacing a nearby well that supplies our existing water system that is in a less productive area of the aquifer. If we put a well site on the Steam Pump Ranch property, OVWU is willing to share costs for related access and other amenities. In addition, we would build a well site that aesthetically meets the Master Plan requirements. This property has a history of water and we believe that a community well site fits with the preservation of that history. On behalf of OVWU and for our community water supply, I would appreciate the Historic Preservation Committee's consideration and support to put the potential well site in Phase 1 of the Steam Ranch Master Plan. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 229-5010. Thank you. Copy: David Andrews Sarah More Pamela Pelletier 3.

Pomegranate Drive Oro Valley, Arizona 85737 520-245-4317 2 Imagineering the Past. . . . When we imagine the past, we re-create in our minds what we believe the past may have been like for our pioneering founders. In the process of re-creating the past, we rely on a variety of factual resources such as historical documentation, photographs, geological surveys, maps and possibly deeds to assist in creating a picture of what once existed. As we go back even further into the past, we recreate more by imagination than by certainty. We depend upon historians, archeologists and academics to help build the gap, to develop scenarios of what once was to excite the imagination and bring our history to life. This is our challenge and our mission; imagineering the past to educate the present community, to inspire a new generation of young minds, and to encourage the vision of history as an exciting and inspiring part of our lives. There are many ways for us to accomplish our mission. I am ready to serve the society and 3 the preservation committee in working towards this vision. I have been blessed with extraordinary skills.. I am ready and willing to share my talent towards the creative and imaginative work needed to bring Oro Valley history and heritage to light. 4 Proposal: I would like the Oro Valley Historical Society to embrace the acquisition of my bronze horse, titled "Steam Pump Pony", for the Steam Pump Ranch Park site. I am asking the Society to approve my request to invite Oro Valley businesses, civic weatoriaxwm} leaders, and Oro Valley citizens to contribute lir towards the purchase of the bronze sculpture. The statue weighs nearly 900 pounds and is as beautiful as his "father", the bronze horse at Wyndam Wingate Inn in Steam Pump Village. Although the statue is appraised at $25,000.00, I am contributing my efforts and expect to raise a total of $12,500.00. Until final designs are set for the park, the statue will be delivered to a site deemed by the Society. All donations of $500.00 or more will be engraved on a bronze plaque affixed to the statue base when erected at the final park location. M PuMP Se71E51,.

Status of Certified Local Government application Scott Nelson, Special Projects Coordinator, has had two conversations with Bob Frankeberger, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) regarding the status of the Certified Local Government application. Mr. Frankeberger has contacted Washington, but they have not responded to his request. b. Status of Steam Pump Ranch designation Mr. Nelson summarized the information contained in an email sent by Jerene Watson, Assistant Town Manager. • Congresswoman Giffords has requested $1 million for the pre-opening phase of SPR. • James Garrison at SHPO will try to move the historic designation nomination through the process faster. • Mr. Garrison will draft a letter to Congresswoman Giffords' office, the Mayor and the Federal funding agency indicating SHPO's support for the project. c. Study session schedule Paul Popelka, Assistant Planning and Zoning Director, did not have study session dates. He said he would send dates to the Commissioners on Friday, April 17, 2009. Chair Baughman stated the study session would be to work on Standard Operating Procedures for SPR and would include the Commissioners, Ainsley Legner, Parks and Recreation Director, Mr. Popelka, Councilmember Latas, and possibly other individuals. VII. Discussion and possible action regarding Steam Pump Ranch a. Salvage of Photographs and Documents Mr. Popelka stated some filing materials have been received and he is waiting for the remaining backordered items to be delivered. He will inform the Commissioners via email when the materials arrive. b. 35th Anniversary Celebration Commissioner Spoerl said the SPR site is being readied for the 35th Anniversary dinner on Friday, April 17, 2009, and an open house on Saturday, April 18, 2009. c. Pumphouse Chairman Baughman stated there is no money in the Poster Frost contract for the pumphouse. Mr. Nelson gave an update on the status of the Heritage Fund grant and Pima County bond money. Under the Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA), County bond money may be used for restoring the pumphouse. A decision needs to made regarding using these 2 funds for the pumphouse. Other funding options were discussed including funding from Congresswoman Giffords' proposal and the Water Department (compensation for a well at SPR). Chairman Baughman will contact Linda Mayro at Pima County regarding a task force to meet with an adobe expert to evaluate the structure. A suggestion was made to have volunteers make adobe bricks. The structure needs to be stabilized prior to the monsoon season. d. Security Mr. Nelson said there has been no change and security for the buildings is in good shape. VIII. Discussion and possible action regarding HPC Work Plan a. Final Request for Proposal for Cultural Resources Inventory Mr. Popelka distributed the latest draft copy of the Request for Proposal (RFP). He will request that the fee schedule be submitted separately from the RFP so that the applicants can be reviewed based on qualifications. The $50,000 budget was discussed. The Commissioners will receive copies of the RFPs. Interviews will be conducted if needed. The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) will select the consultant and forward the contract to the Town Council for approval. Mr. Popelka suggested a special session to review the RFP replies. The process needs to be completed and a consultant under contract by the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 2009. Suggested changes to the RFP: • Page 5 will be changed to read "Summary Table of Cultural Resources before 1974 shall be included in the document." • Expand item Cl, page 5, first paragraph, regarding historical context to include information from Commissioner Spoerl • Page 5, C1, second line, change "context" to "contexts" • Page 5, C1, first paragraph, last sentence, change to read "Contexts should include, but not be limited to, the following" • Changing the word "will" to "shall" Mr. Popelka stated the first sentence on page 6 was added on the advice from Linda Mayro. MOTION: Vice Chair Zwiener MOVED to approve the Request for Proposal for Cultural Resources Survey in substance of the draft with allowances for such interpretations by the Chair that would be reasonable for its distribution to potential participants, with the amendments noted during this meeting, and allowing the Chair to make ministerial changes in the document before it reaches its final form. Commissioner Pullara seconded the motion. Motion carried, 6-0. 3 b. Budget Questions relating to the $50,000 budget were previously answered. c. Process Plan for Historic Designation Chair Baughman did not meet with Lexa Mack, Town Civil Counsel, and Mr. Popelka to discuss the historic designation process. Counsel Mack has resigned and will be leaving May 2, 2009; he will try to meet with her before she leaves. d.

More, FAICP, Planning and Zoning Director SUBJECT: Oro Valley Water Utility Well Project at Steam Pump Ranch (SPR) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Water Utility is proposing to build a well site at the northeast corner of Steam Pump Ranch (see attached Conceptual Well Site Plan). The well site would be comprised of a 75-foot square area (see attached exhibits 1-2) that will be screened with an architectural wall. An access drive from Steam Pump Village and staging area are included for operations and maintenance. The wall will be designed for compatibility with the remainder of the property (see attached Exhibits 3-4). The existing barn, which is not a historic structure, will be demolished to accommodate the well site. BACKGROUND The proposed well site is consistent with the approved Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan, but the timing of the well site had been anticipated during the final build out phase (see attached Town Council Communication and letter from the Water Utility Director). On July 2, 2008, the Town Council approved the Water Utility's request to move up the timeframe for the well site location, subject to securing an alternate access to the well site via the Steam Pump Village commercial center. The Water Utility has secured such an access easement. Staff and the Water Utility are currently in negotiations for the proposed well site. Issues being discussed include compensation for the land, undergrounding existing electrical, future infrastructure credits and salvaging barn doors prior to barn demolition. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS First, with regards to the barn demolition, staff recommends that the barn doors be salvaged. The SPR Master Plan Unless the Commission has additional comments or considerations, the Water Utility may proceed with demolition permits. Typically, development within a historic district (SPR is not yet so designated) is reviewed against established criteria for things such as color, materials, proportion, projections and recessions, size, mass and scale, form, and rhythm. While the well site is not actually a building, rather a walled enclosure, the scale is rather large. The design of the enclosure should be compatible with the architectural style of the buildings on the property. The Water Utility has proposed a wall which encloses an area over 5,600 square feet, with a rustic gate. The wall is masonry block with stucco in a shade of brown, with a modified pueblo "roofline" TOWN OF ORO VALLEY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION COMMUNICATION Page 2 of 3 and faux windows to break up the long expanse of wall. The faux windows are arched and appear to have a material replicating window blinds. Other buildings on the site are lighter in color, or exposed adobe brick. The wall color and/or texture can be modified to match either of those designs based on the Commission's recommendation. Should the Commission agree that the use of faux windows to break up the mass of the wall structure is appropriate, staff suggests that the form of the windows be modified to rectangular in shape to be consistent with the historic structures on the site and that there be a minimum of three evenly-spaced windows on each elevation. While most of the historic buildings on the site have pitched rooflines, the garage / workers' housing building has a flat roof. None of the buildings have a roofline similar to that shown on the conceptual drawings. Staff suggests that the wall be modified to eliminate the "roofline" variations. In addition, while a ranch fence might be more appropriately open the use of a solid wall to enclose the modern well site equipment is appropriate. Other items that are not indicated on the conceptual drawings include security, sound attenuation measures and lighting for the well site. Staff will present security examples from existing well sites at the meeting and request direction from the Commission. As a part of the SPR Master Plan, we discussed sound attenuation for the well pump. The Water Utility will also be requested to address these items at the meeting. Per the Zoning Code, staff recommends a ten foot landscape buffer be provided surrounding the wall on all four sides. It is also not clear what surfacing materials are proposed for the access drive. PROCEDURAL INFORMATION Per the funding agreement with Pima County, this proposal will be reviewed by the Pima County Cultural Resources Manager, Historic Preservation Office. Should she have additional recommendations, they will be incorporated into the final plan for the site. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission review thero osed well site and p p provide direction with regards to the demolition of the barn and potential materials salvaging and the construction of a new well site with wall enclosure. Specific direction on design elements will be particularly useful. Further, staff recommends that the final design return to the HPC for approval. SUGGESTED MOTION: I move to approve the Oro Valley Water Utility well site in accordance with the following conditions: 1. The final plans be returned to the Historic Preservation Commission for approval. 2. The color and/or texture of the wall are . 3. The "roofline" of the wall is modified to remove projections. 4. The faux windows are modified to be rectangular in shape, with a minimum of three per elevation. 5.

' ' TOWN OF ORO VALLEY EXHIBIT 5 Page 1 of 2 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: July 2, 2008 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & COUNCIL FROM: Robert Jacklitch, Project Manager Philip C. Saletta, P.E., Water Utility Director SUBJECT: Discussion and/or possible action regarding the proposed Well Site at Steam Pump Ranch SUMMARY: At the Council meeting on June 4, 2008 Council Member Carter requested and Vice Mayor Kunisch seconded to further discuss the proposed well site at Steam Pump Ranch. At the May 21, 2008 Council meeting the Master Plan for Steam Pump Ranch was accepted. The Master Plan includes a proposed well site, but not until the Full Build-Out Phase is complete. Water Utility Staff worked closely with the Steam Pump Ranch Task Force and attended numerous meetings regarding the Master Plan. As part of those discussions, the Water Utility requested that a proposed well be considered in the initial phase of the Steam Pump Ranch project. Attached are two memoranda regarding our previous request. Timing is essential in determining the location of a proposed well site because two existing wells in this vicinity continue to lose production. The Utility needs to recover this lost capacity in order to continue to provide reliable water supply to our customers. These deficiencies were identified last year and replacement wells were included in the Utility's 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. The Water Utility is respectfully requesting consideration for a well site to be located at Steam Pump Ranch prior to the Pre-Opening Phase of the project. The Utility is committed to designing and constructing an aesthetic site that would meet the Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan requirements. Additionally, the Utility would share in costs related to land, site access and other amenities. Water Utility Staff believe that including the well site in the Pre-Opening Phase, construction of the well would have the least disturbance to the development as a whole. The well site could also serve to educate the public on water supply and is consistent with the "water history" of the original ranch. Location is also a critical factor when planning a well site. The Steam Pump Ranch site is an optimal location for a well site based on the hydrogeology and aquifer characteristics. Recent studies show the aquifer at this site can sustain long term groundwater production. The Arizona Department of Water Resources will allow the Utility to transfer an existing well permit to the proposed Steam Pump Ranch well. Additionally, because of the location, off site costs related to connecting the proposed well to the existing system will be minimized. Water Utility Staff will be prepared to make a presentation on this matter and answer any questions at the Council Meeting. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY Page 2 of 2 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: July 2, 2008 FISCAL IMPACT: The project would be paid by water sales revenue and would be included in the FY 09-10 capital improvement budget designated as —Steam Pump Well. Costs shared by the Water Utility will benefit the Town. An overall savings will occur due to reduced costs for trying to acquire land in that area for a well site. SUGGESTED 1110TION: I move to allow for the construction of a well site by the Oro Valley Water Utility prior to the Pre-Opening Phase at Steam Pump Ranch. The well site would be located as shown in the approved Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan and the Water Utility is directed to coordinate with the Town Manager and Planning and Zoning Department regarding the aesthetics, architecture, access and cost sharing for land and infrastructure. Or I move to ATTACHMENTS: 1. Memorandum to Mayor and Council 2. Memorandum to Historic Preservation Committee Reag Robert Jac h, Project Manager Philip C. Sa tta, P.E., Water tility Director David Andrews, Town Manager 3. DISCUSSION AND/OR POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE PROPOSED WELL SITE AT STEAM PUMP RANCH Water Utility Director Philip Saletta reviewed a PowerPoint presentation and highlighted the following: - Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan was approved by Council on May 21, 2008. The Master Plan included a proposed well site as part of the build-out phase. The Oro Valley Water Utility (OVWU) prefers that the well site be included prior to the opening phase. - OVWU will build facility to meet the architectural and historical aspects of the site. - OVWU will provide noise abatement. - OVWU will share in costs for infrastructure, roadwork, access and land. Mr. Saletta further reviewed proposed water well sites, high production zones and addressed issues with several of the current wells. He explained that placing a well at Steam Pump Ranch would help expand the Town's sphere of water production. He also reviewed possible security walls, noise abatement for pumps and landscaping of security walls. In response to a request from Vice Mayor Kunisch, Bill Adler, Oro Valley resident and member of the Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan Task Force, explained that two locations for the proposed well site were considered. He explained that the Task Force recommend placement in the "panhandle" as the most desired location. He further explained that the timing of the well installation was discussed but it was suggested that it be placed into the second phase as the Water Utility staff had not noted that it was a necessity at this time. In response to questions from the Council, Mr. Saletta presented the following information: Total space requirement for a new well would be about one quarter of an acre. - Depth would be approximately 800 feet. - Depth of original well is unknown but old agricultural wells did not penetrate the aquifer so it was probably less than 600 feet. Access road to the well. ---Town's two wells (Wells C & D) on east side of Oracle Road would not be abandoned as they are still good water producers. Once the production levels are reduced, the cascading problems in the wells would be alleviated (pumps and motors would be pulled and resized if necessary to get optimum level of production). - New well would be put into the 2009/2010 budget and OVWU would like to have it on line by 2010. Currently do not pay rent for any water facilities. - Need to ensure that the proposed new well would not interfere with other Town wells and the well located at the nursery located across Oracle Road). Also, need to stay as close to the "sweet spot"as possible. C-9 well on Pusch View Lane will be on line by fall of the current year. MOTION: A motion was made by Council Member Carter and seconded by Vice Mayor Kunisch to direct the Water Utility to move forward with the planning process for the well at Steam Pump Ranch. MOTION carried, 7-0. ORO VALLEY WATER UTILITY MEM ORA.NDUM To: Honorable Mayor and Council From: Philip C. Saletta,.P.E., Water Utility Director ,(!(/ Via: David Andrews, Town Manager Subject: Steam Pump Ranch Well Site Phase 1 Date: May 21, 2008 Mayor and Council Regular Meeting The Oro Valley Water Utility (OVWU) attended two Steam Pump Ranch Task Force meetings to discuss and share information regarding the need for a production well at - S team PumpRanch. The Ranch is located in an ideal location for groundwater production and is directly above the Town's most productive portion of the aquifer. This was discussed with the Task Force and was a point of emphasis. We discussed two existing production wells which need to be replaced and that serve the same pressure zone that serves the Steam Pump Ranch area. OVtiU communicated a willingness to aesthetically treat the security wall around the well in a fashion that works with the overall architectural theme of the complex. Furthermore, we expressed a willingness to contribute monies to the development, amounts of which would be discussed in the future with Town Management. The OVAATU believes the potential well site at Steam Pump Ranch should be allowed to be constructed in Phase 1. We are requesting your consideration to allow the potential well to be constructed in Phase 1, prior to the Build Out Phase as proposed by the Task Force. This request is based on the growing need to supply customers along the Oracle � � inwould Road corridor and that OVWU needs to replace two existing wells the area. We o like to be able to drill at the Steam Pump Ranch property in fiscal year 2008-2009. Bringing the well on line before the site develops is the least intrusive and, as previously g g T team OVWU will work closely with the design team to build a security wall that blends in with the architectural theme of the developed site. We thank you for your consideration in this matter and ask that you also refer to the J attached memorandum to the Historical Preservation Committee. C: Sarah More • ORO VALLEY WATER UTILITY INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM To: The Town of Oro Valley Historic Preservation Committee From: Philip Saletta, P.E., Water Utility Director 6)) Subject: Steam Pump Ranch Well Site Date: April 10, 2008 Oro Valley Water Utility (OVWU) was asked to be involved and has participated on Task Force for the Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan. We appreciate this opportunity and fully support ort the process for the Master Plan. Mark Moore and Robert Jacklitch attended the Task Force Meetings on behalf of OVWU. Oro Valley Water Utility is facing challenges for locating additional well sites for our community water supply. As part of the Master Plan process, it was discussed with the Task Force that the Steam Pump Ranch is an excellent location for a well site. The aquifer beneath the Town property at Steam Pump Ranch has excellent groundwater production capacity. Locating a well on this property, benefits the Town and its water customers by constructing a well. in the most efficient and productive area of the aquifer. The Task Force was cooperative regarding our request and we appreciate their willingness to Include a potential well site as part of the Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan. The timing of this well and when it is constructed is important to the Towns water supply. When we can drill and construct a replacement well is critical to the needs of the community and maintaining the level of water supply. It is my understanding that the Task Force listed a potential well site as part of the Build-Out (or Phase 2) of the Steam Pump Master Plan. We request that a potential well site be considered in Phase 1 of the Master Plan, so OVWO can proceed with the drilling of a needed replacement well in Fiscal Year 2008-09. This request is based upon timing and need for our existing water supply. We are currently investigating the possibility of replacing a nearby well that supplies our existing water system that is in a less productive area of the aquifer. If we put a well site on the Steam Pump Ranch property, OVWU is willing to share costs for related access and other amenities. In addition, we would build a well site that aesthetically meets the Master Plan requirements. This property has a history of water and we believe that a community well site fits with the preservation of that history. On behalf of OVWU and for our community water supply, I would appreciate the Historic Preservation Committee's consideration and support to put the potential well site in Phase 1 of the Steam Ranch Master Plan. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 229-5010. Thank you. Copy: David Andrews Sarah More Pamela Pelletier 3.

With the adoption of Resolution 1983-104, the Pima County Board of Supervisors acknowledged, some 25 years ago, "the need of adequate documentation and professional preservation of the City-County's historical and archaeological sites as required by law." In 1988, the Pima County cultural resources program was initiated with the hiring of the first County archaeologist. Since then, Pima County has taken an active and consistent position in protecting our cultural and historic sites throughout our region with various preservation efforts such as archaeological and historic site protections, conservation land-use planning, ordinances, historic preservation bond projects, as an element of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, and in working toward Congressional designation of the Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area. The following mission statement reflects the scope and direction of the Pima County cultural resources program and is the basis for the recommended Board of Supervisors policy. Pima County is rich in history, cultural diversity, living traditions, and regional character, all of which define our collective cultural heritage and community identity, where our Native American, Spanish Colonial, Mexican, and American traditions intersect with the natural environment to create a unique, multi-storied cultural landscape. Pima County honors this heritage by working to preserve our cultural and historical properties, including ancestral sites, traditional cultural places, historic buildings, districts, objects, living traditions, and working landscapes. To better acknowledge the full breadth of these heritage preservation efforts, I recommend the approval of the attached Board of Supervisors policy to reaffirm Pima County's vision and commitment to historic preservation. Respectfully submitted, C.H. Huckelberry County Administrator CHH/j1 Attachment c: John Bernal, Deputy County Administrator for Public Works Nanette Siusser, Assistant County Administrator for Public Works Policy Linda Mayro, Cultural Resources Manager PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA BOARD OP SUPERVISORS POLICY Policy Page Subject: Protection of Cultural Resources Number 9 C 3.17 Page l of 4 Purpose: The purpose of this Policy is to establish guidelines regarding the protection and documentation of archaeological, historical, and other cultural resources that are on land owned by Pima County or that may be affected by County projects or ground disturbing activities by other entities on County-owned land. Background: Pima County is a rich mosaic of historic places, cultural diversity, living traditions, and regional character, which define our collective cultural heritage and community identity. Cultural resources are finite and non-renewable, and include ancestral Native American, Spanish colonial, Mexican, and American archaeological and historic sites, traditional cultural places, historic buildings, districts, objects, and landscapes. Pima County is committed to the protection, conservation, and preservation of cultural resources to benefit its citizens of today and to preserve this rich heritage for its citizens of tomorrow. For many years, Pima County has actively worked to protect cultural resources impacted by County projects as formalized by Resolution 1983-104, which acknowledges "the need of adequate documentation and professional preservation of the city-county's historical and archaeological sites as required by law." Pima County recognizes that construction and development may negatively impact these irreplaceable cultural resources. This impact diminishes the cultural heritage of Pima County and affects the quality of life in Pima County and in our community. Policy: It is Pima County's policy to conserve and protect cultural resources, and to mitigate any negative effects that Pima County's operations and land-use planning decisions may have on cultural resources. Goals: The County's goals are to: • Preserve and protect cultural resources in Pima County. • Whenever possible, avoid adverse impacts from County projects on cultural resources. If impacts cannot be avoided, minimize and mitigate the effects of construction and development on Pima County's cultural resources. • Ensure the County's compliance with all county and state historic preservation laws and regulations, and when required, all federal laws and regulations. • Consistently apply procedures for the identification, evaluation, and assessment of cultural resource impacts, and procedures for mitigation of those impacts, to enable all County departments to achieve the County's cultural resources preservation goals and objectives.

Education Center....] Continuous Occupation Related Links of Pima County has been continuously occupied for approximately 12,000 years from the end Interest of the last Ice Age to the present day. Contributors Archaeological Sites There are 3,984 archaeological sites known in Pima County, yet only 12 percent of the land base has been formally investigated. Most common are sites dating to the period ,�, ' from A.D. 750-1450 during which the Hohokam people occupied central and southern .x Arizona. a = s - Historic Buildings -,!..$*,,, '" More than 4,000 historic buildings have been recorded, most of which are within the Tucson city limits. In general, these represent settlement during the 19th and early 20th Privacy Statement centuries when Tucson emerged from a fortified village to a major metropolitan center. Disclaimer National Register Copyright©2009, There are 121 places listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the nation's honor All rights reserved role of historically important properties. Twenty-six of these are districts that contain multiple buildings or archaeological sites. The City of Tucson has 16 such districts alone, five of which are also city designated districts. Historic Communities Ten historic communities are 50 years old or older: Silverbell, Marana, Rillito, Catalina, Redington, Vail, Continental, Sahuarita, Arivaca, Sasabe, and Tucson itself. Cultural Locations Five traditional cultural places have been identified, four of which are important to the Tohono O'odham Nation and one that is important to the Mexican American community in Tucson. Ghost Towns Thirteen communities have been abandoned and are now ghost towns such as Greaterville and Total Wreck in the Cienega Valley, Twin Buttes and Helvetia in the Upper Santa Cruz Valley, Cerro Colorado in the Altar Valley, the Silverbell mining camp in the Avra Valley, h-ttp://www.pima.gov/cmo/sdcp/Cultural.html 05/13/2009 aL .,r .,ui Lui a.i nesources Page 2 of 4 and Clarkstown on the west side of the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation. These reflect the importance of silver, gold, lead, and copper mining in Pima County's history. Historic Trails There are three historically significant trails. The Anza Trail of 1775-1776 was used by Captain Juan Bautista de Anza in his excursions to the Pacific Coast. The Camino del Diablo linked Sonora with southern California during the 18th and 19th centuries. Thirdly, is the Butterfield Trail, an overland mail route between St. Louis and San Francisco, that was used between 1858 and 1861.Priority Cultural ResourcesThe Technical Advisory Team for the Cultural Resources Element of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan reviewed nearly 4,000 archaeological sites and over 4,000 historic buildings and structures. This group selected 70 individual archaeological sites, 29 clusters or"complexes"of archaeological sites representing repeated use of the landscape over thousands of years, and 138 historic resources all built over the past two centuries. In total, 237 places have been identified as Priority Cultural Resources. These are high value cultural resources that because of their importance to the history and culture of the citizens of Pima County deserve conservation in the public interest. 40*:.'.' fr-', ...-,. ii . -: ,,,_„,tr-p, ,,-4,- .,,,..,,,„,.., _ ''yy 1, ,,- a x9E \ " aE • +�� i J��• a Sa � � + �. �:':: ���`� � �°�s�s hYk� 'fig � y��n... �' ° ::..,.::::7.—, �u ;41':::::::i.irit8;;:sr''Iti:t.:''':i4;211..,....

Together these priority cultural resources represent 10,000 years of settlement in what is today Pima County, representing a physical legacy of the struggle for survival for hundreds of generations of people who have made Southern Arizona their home. Evaluation Process The challenge we face is to develop strategies that effectively protect cultural resources for future generations. An importantpart of this involves comparing the location of high value cultural resources with data on high value natural resources. Data layers mapping core biological, habitat, and riparian areas were compared with the location of priority cultural resources to determine where they overlap and where they are distributed separately. The analysis indicates that priority cultural resources overlap with important riparian areas both within and outside the urban core. However, more of the priority archaeological sites are located within the urban core where natural resource values are low. For the archaeological site complexes, the reverse is true. Most historic resources are located within the Tucson Metropolitan area, although a small number are distributed in areas with high natural resource values in the rural countryside. http://www.pima.gov/cmo/sdcp/Cul-tural.html 05/13/2009 at.,v,r cul iu1 dl itesuul ees Page 3 of 4 High value cultural resources overlap with high value natural resources in some places but not in others.

Cultural resources in Pima County have been and continue to be threatened, most immediately in areas that are just developing now or will be in the near future. Protecting these resources will require long term, region-wide planning and cooperation on the part of public entities and private citizens. A variety of conservation strategies employed on different scales and time frames will be needed to address the realities of cultural resource conservation. • Work cooperatively with federal, state, and local governmental entities to achieve shared conservation goals. • Develop a regional management strategy that is centered on adaptive management concepts. • Purchase land containing high value cultural resources when and if public monies http://www.pima.gov/cmo/sdcp/Cultural.html 05/13/2009 aiiv,r '.,U1 iul al i esuui Ues Page 4 of 4 become available. • Create an incentive program to encourage private land owners to voluntarily protect cultural resources that are on their land or that compensate them for giving up development rights to lands containing cultural resources. • Implement land use regulations to ensure that when private land is developed cultural resources are considered as a part of the development review approval. • Inform and educate the public about the past and engage them in saving our collective heritage for the future.

In the following sections, we'll outline the county cultural resources compliance review process, and we'll discuss some of the issues concerning development projects in Pima County. We'll cover the following subjects: • Definitions and concepts • Legal authority • Compliance review process • Planning for preservation • Summary of points to remember 41004, k' �t What are Cultural Resources? • Archaeological sites • Historic sites • Traditional Cultural Places Archaeological Sites • Definition: Any material remains of past human life or activities that are preserved in their original setting that are important to understanding prehistory or history Archaeological sites represent the physical remains of past human behavior in a single location dating to one or more periods of use in time. These may include places where people lived, where they hunted and gathered their food or harvested their crops, where they worshipped, buried their dead, and fought their battles. An archaeological site is any place where artifacts and/or cultural features are concentrated on the landscape that represent past human activities that are 50 years old or older. This definition has been broadly applied to include prehistoric and historic sites of all time periods, functions, and spatial distributions from the earliest human occupation some 12,000 years ago to the 1950s. Pima County is rich in cultural resources and many archaeological sites are known. For instance, although only about 12-percent of the landbase of Pima County has been archaeologically surveyed, more than 4,000 archaeological sites have been recorded. The remaining 88-percent of the county is yet to be surveyed, but it is certain that thousands of archaeological sites exist in the unsurveyed portions of the county. Perhaps one or some of them await discovery on land you plan to develop. http://-www.pima.gov/cultural/Review.html 05/13/2009 rima .,ounry uuiiurai resources rage or LI- Historic +Historic Sites • Definition: Sites, districts, structures, objects, or other evidences of human activities that represent facets of the history of the nation, state, or locality Historic resources include a wide variety of sites, buildings, structures, and objects, including residences, commercial establishments, engineered features such as roads and bridges, schools, churches, military forts, cemeteries, parks, and streetscapes. These kinds of resources typically date to within the last several hundred years. Currently, there are about 4000 recorded historic sites in Pima County, mostly buildings, and mostly in Tucson. There are 121 historic sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places and 26 National Register Historic Districts. Traditional Cultural Places • Definition: Places associated with the cultural practices or beliefs of a living community, that are: (a) rooted in that community's history, and, (b) important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. The cultural significance of Traditional Cultural Places (TCPs) is derived from the role these resources play in a community's historically rooted beliefs, customs, and practices. Cultural resources that meet this definition are typically identified as being significant to Native American communities, but not exclusively. These can include a place where traditional plants used in a ceremony are gathered, a natural landscape feature associated with an event or figure important in creation myths, or a spring revered because of its life giving water. There are about half a dozen well documented TCPs in Pima County, but many more remain undocumented. fL s pr k Y mqh ,K 4s Rw a...w. c 3 a ^i"x C`s•$:y K a <"^k`c.z.,y;st.*K y..v?„...Q,r WIN Why are cultural resources important? • Vestiges of our collective heritage • Contribute to a sense of place and cultural identity • Scientific, educational, recreational, aesthetic, and spiritual values • Finite, fragile, irreplaceable, non-renewable Cultural resources have the potential to tell us about who we are and where we came from.

All proposed development projects within the Town of Marana shall be reviewed for their potential impact on archaeological resources. The review process shall take one of two paths: 1. If the proposed development is a federal or state undertaking (i.e. to take place on federal or state land, funding to come from federal or state agencies, or circumstances dictate federal or state agency regulation), the project must necessarily pass through the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for compliance review. In which case, the Town of Marana shall be copied on all reports and other information regarding the status of the projects. Approval from SHPO shall be required before appropriate Town permits may be issued. 2. All other proposed development, those involving private land, private funding, etc., shall be reviewed by the Town of Marana in the process outlined below. B. With any application for development, the applicant may provide a letter from the Arizona State Museum (ASM) or SHPO containing a recommendation on how development should proceed based on existing information. In lieu of a letter from ASM or SHPO, the applicant may submit a report from a qualified archaeologist that reviews all of the available information for the project area. At minimum, the report shall: 1. Determine whether the project area had been previously surveyed for cultural resources. 2. Identify any previously recorded archaeological or historic resources known to exist on the property or in the general vicinity. 3. State the probability that buried archaeological resources not visible from the surface would be discovered in the project area. 4. Make an informed recommendation as to whether an archaeological survey of the project area is needed. TITLE 20 PAGE 4car10 EFFECTIVE.4/15/03 ORD.2003.05 TOWN OF MARANA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 5. Describe and map archaeological and historic sites identified on the property in either the records check or a subsequent field survey. Detailed location maps of such sites should be available from the archaeologist or consultant for staff review of this document. C. If the letter from ASM or SHPO, or the qualified archaeologist's report, states that a field survey has been completed and no significant resources were found, or that significant resources have been located on the site but the site's informational value has been exhausted, then a Certificate of No Effect shall be issued by the Planning Department, authorizing the issuance of appropriate permits for the proposed project. A Certificate of No Effect shall be issued, including any conditions: 1. If it is determined the proposed work is minor and clearly within adopted development guidelines; and 2. If modifications to the proposed work are requested by the Planning Department Staff after review, they are agreed to by the applicant; and 3. In any case the proposed work will not diminish, eliminate, or adversely affect the historic character of the subject property. D. If the qualified archaeologist determines through his/her records search that a field survey has never been performed for the site, or that the survey is outdated or incomplete, a field survey shall be completed by a qualified archaeologist and be submitted to the Planning Department. E. If a Certificate of No Effect is not approved, a Certificate of Approval shall be required to proceed with development according to the following procedures: 1. Town of Marana Planning Department Staff and/or archaeological consultants retained by the Town shall review the survey and report and approve or disapprove of the recommended significance of archaeological resources impacted by the proposed development. The survey and report can also be returned to the applicant for modifications by a qualified archaeologist if it is found to be incomplete and/or inaccurate by Town Staff. 2. Town Staff shall require the applicant to have a mitigation plan, in report format and prepared by a qualified archaeologist, submitted for review when it has been determined that a significant archaeological site exists on the property that is proposed to be impacted by development. The mitigation plan will detail strategies for the management of the affected sites and include standards for: further testing, sampling strategies, documentation, data recovery (excavation), preservation and protection, curation, analysis, and report preparation. Off-site TITLE 20 PAGE 5 OF 10 l:I.J.Ec:r\'E 4/15/03 ORD.2003.05 TOWN OF MARANA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE developments and ancillary construction (utility trenches, water and sewage treatment facilities, roads, etc.) shall also be investigated, evaluated, and treated by the same criteria as cultural resources within the proposed development site. The mitigation plan shall: a. Outline a resource assessment program to evaluate the significance of those resources to be affected by the proposed land use; b. Outline an effective preservation plan or data recovery and documentation plan for those resources determined to have significant research or other value; c. Provide a schedule for the implementation of the accepted mitigation plan; and d. Provide a cost estimate for mitigation strategies, including testing, data recovery, curation and report preparation, as described in the mitigation plan. 3. Town Staff shall review the mitigation plan and may request technical assistance from ASM, SHPO and/or a qualified archaeologist as appropriate and shall approve or deny the recommended mitigation plan within fifteen (15) working days after it is submitted. If the plan is not approved as submitted, Staff shall advise the applicant on the changes needed in the mitigation plan for it to be approved. 4. In making a decision on the mitigation plan, Town Staff shall consider methods to avoid, reduce, or mitigate effects on historic and cultural resources, such as a preservation easement, while taking into consideration the current needs of the property owner and reasonable methods for carrying out the recommended plan. Appropriate financial assurances, amount to be determined by the Town, must be posted with the Town of Marana for the implementation and completion of the accepted mitigation plan. 5. A Certificate of Approval shall be granted by Town Staff upon the satisfactory implementation of an approved mitigation plan. 6. Construction activity on the site may proceed once all the necessary excavation and collecting of archaeological resources is complete. A final report describing the collection and summarizing the finding is due within one year after receiving a Certificate of Approval. A copy of the final report, and any other pertinent information regarding historic properties, shall be sent to SHPO for recordation in their cultural resource inventory. F. In the event work is being performed without first having obtained a Certificate of No Effect or a Certificate of Approval, the Planning Director or designee shall TITLE 20 PAGE 6 OF 10 l FFECT1VF 4/15/03 Olin.2003.05 TOWN OF MARANA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE contact the person performing the work and all work shall cease. The Town may seek an injunction and any other remedy at law or equity to enforce the stop order. G. When a previously unidentified archaeological site is discovered in the course of construction, the property owner immediately shall notify the Town of Marana Planning Department. The property owner shall have a preliminary study made by a qualified archaeologist to determine the effect that the proposed development project may have on the site. The Town's consulting archaeologist, with concurrence from the qualified archaeologist hired by the property owner, shall evaluate on-site the significance of the archaeological finding as soon as possible. When the Town's consulting archaeologist and the qualified archaeologist hired by the property owner concur that no adverse effect on the archaeological site will take place, the project may proceed immediately.
