January 19, 2005 Mayor and Town Council Town of Oro Valley 11000 N.La Canada Dr. Oro Valley,Arizona 85737 Dear Mayor and Council, I believe the time has come for the Town Council to take definitive action that will give the Citizens of the Town of Oro Valley a chance to make a decision as to whether or not they want to have significant improvements made in the Town regarding parks and recreational facilities, obtaining historic sites, and transportation. This could be done by the Town Council putting on the ballot at the next regular or special election a question as to whether the citizens would approve a 1/2 cent sales tax with an intended life of 20 or 30 years (or in perpetuity) with a stipulation that this tax could not be borrowed or used for any other purpose. It is suggested that three fourths of this tax could be used for parks and recreational purposes and purchasing the Steam Pump Ranch and one fourth be used to supplement street and transportation improvements. Pima County Bond money designated for the Steam Pump ranch then could possibly be used for restoration purposes. Such a tax would raise approximately $ 1,700,000 per year and would allow bonding of up to $20,000,000. (It probably would be best to bond for a lot less and have working monies available each year.) This tax would hardly be noticeable to the person making purchases as it would amount to only 50 cents per 100 dollars spent. Yes, it would have a more significant effect when buying homes but maybe this tax is needed to keep the Town a "Community of Excellence". As one of the founders of the Town of Oro Valley,I well remember the promise that we made"that the Town would not impose a property tax". THE TOWN DOES NOT NEED A PROPERTY TAX.A sales tax, however would allow development to take place that would benefit the citizens and visitors using Oro Valley facilities. I don't believe that such a tax would keep people from buying homes and purchasing goods in the Town of Oro Valley. Realizing that nonresidents as well as residents use the facilities of the Town, it is my opinion that a sales tax is a fair way of raising the money since everyone spending in the Town would help pay the cost of providing the improvements. Very truly yours, /2ro , ,kms J James D. Kriegh 40 E.

Cuvelier, Town Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Town Attorney January 7,2005 MEETING MINUTES PROJECT NAME: Shadow Mountain 12-inch Main Extension PROJECT JOB NO.: 206.55.D 8000 DATE OF MEETING: Wednesday,January 5, 2005 TIME OF MEETING: 6:30 p.m. PLACE OF MEETING: Oro Valley Public Library Meeting Room ATTENDEES: Thom Martinez,WestLand Mark Ostermann,WestLand George Kendrick, OVWU Robert Jacklitch, OVWU Steve Faaborg, OVDPW Robert & Sherylene McMillin Jack and Belle Schneiker Twink Monrad Marrianne Williams John&Michele Dean Marianne McDaniel E to die Winger Rosann Mulle Lisa Heimink James Kreigh SUBJECT: Shadow Mountain 12-inch D-zone Main Extension General: Oro Valley Water Utility staff and its consultants indicated the project will consist of the installation of approximately 4,000-feet of 12-inch D-zone water main.This will be constructed within the Shadow Mountain and Meadowbrook Drive street section within the public right-of-way of the Town of Oro Valley. The project will include the installation of approximately six fire hydrants which will provide needed fire flow to the existing area. The project will also allow the OVWU to convey water from the existing City of Tucson C-99 site to the Oro Valley existing D-zone system. It was explained to the public that the selection of the location of the 12-inch water main within the pavement section was selected to minimize the amount of disturbance of the existing landscaping as there is a substantial amount of landscaping outside of the pavement in this area. Upon completion of the project the contractor will slurry seal the entire alignment to provide a better roadway surface. Approximately 145 door hangers were hung in preparation for the meeting. A summary of the many questions that were asked as a result of the door hangers was provided. Commonly asked questions were as follows: C:\Documents and Settings\rjacklitch\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK71\Public meeting minutes 010505.doc Meeting Minutes: Shadow Mountain 12-inch D-zone Water Main Extension January 5,2005 Page 2 Q: How will access to the driveways be maintained? A: It is the expectation of the utility that trenching operations will go relatively quickly throughout the street sections. No open trenches will be left overnight,as every night they will be either backfilled or plated to provide full access throughout the alignment. However,in the event that construction operations or trenching is going on in front of a particular driveway,the OVWU would work directly with the homeowners and contractors to notify them of the few times when driveway access will be closed for the installation of the pipeline and for paving. Q: Will there be full access along the roadway? A: The contractor will be required to provide at a minimum one-way traffic with flagmen at all times during construction for through traffic along the proposed alignments. Q: How will the garbage pickup be handled,as there are several garbage service providers picking up the trash on different days? A: The OVWU will coordinate with the contractor and the garbage pickup vendors to provide access or will move the garbage cans to accessible locations so that garbage service can be maintained throughout the project. Q: What will the trench opening be like? A: The pipeline is designed with a minimum amount of cover with ductile iron pipe to provide the smallest depth of cover possible for the project. The contractors generally do not open a full trench and the construction includes concurrent trenching and backfilling operations so the contractor can proceed with multiple operations at one time. It was reiterated, however, that all trenches will be either backfilled or plated at the end of each construction day. Q:- When is construction scheduled to start? A: The OVWU indicated that the construction is expected to begin sometime in February and that there is a 90-day duration for this construction. Q: What will the fire hydrants look like that are along the aligment? Will they be flush or will they stickup out of the ground? A: The hydrants will be installed above ground. Generally fire hydrant construction consists of a flange being installed approximately 6-inches above grade with a fire hydrant assembly being installed which reaches an elevation of approximately 36-inches. Standard fire hydrants will be installed along the alignment. Q: Will you be connecting up service to our homes? A: No. Although the OVWU is coordinating with the City of Tucson to potentially take over water service of this area,there will be no house connections made as part of this project. C:\Docurnents and Settings\rjacklitch\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK71\Public meeting minutes 010505.doc Meeting Minutes: Shadow Mountain 12-inch D-zone Water Main Extension January 5,2005 Page 3 Q: Where will the contractor put their spoils for the project? A: The construction specifications indicate that the contractor will use to the greatest extent possible the paving section to put the spoil materials on. Any disturbance to existing landscaped areas along the alignment will need to be replaced in kind by the contractor as part of the project. Q: How will the slurry seal operations take place? A: The slurry seal operations generally consist of a half traffic lane(approximately 12-feet)to be completed on one day. Generally the contractor completes the adjacent side of the street on the following day. Q: Why didn't the Town of Oro Valley notify residents regarding the acquisition of the service area,the construction of this water main,or the purchase of the proposed well? A: The OVWU notified the homeowners adjacent to the existing well and had a meeting with said homeowners in December to discuss the amenities associated with the well and has since added landscape plans in addition to noise abatement and masonry structures to minimize the impacts of the construction of the well. Q: Can you explain the existing system or how this well will operate? A: The proposed well will pump through the proposed 12-inch line to the Oro Valley D-zone system. The Oro Valley D-zone system is floated by the storage reservoir behind the El Conquistador Hotel,known as the El Con Reservoir. The pump will turn on and off based upon demands in the system and will be controlled offof the high water elevation of the proposed tank. The benefit of this gravity storage system is that in the event of a power outage customers including those located in Shadow Mountain Estates would have the ability for fire protection or any other domestic or commercial service even in the event of a power failure. Q: We are concerned about subsidence in the area. Is this a concern and is the Town insured against this type of an event? Can the Town provide a written response on this issue? A: The OVWU has not experienced to this point any known subsidence at any of its well sites to date. It is the expectation of the Utility that if there were subsidence the initial indications would be right at the well site and could be closely monitored. Oro Valley staff indicated they would talk to the legal department about an official response and indicated the Town has insurance very similar to that of all other local municipalities and was insured if there were any negligent acts. Q: What kind of lighting will be at the site? A: There will be splash lighting that will be placed inside of the site and will be pointed down. It is not the expectation that this splash lighting would be on at all times but there are motion sensors that would turn the lighting on in the event somebody was in the yard. In addition to the motion sensors there will be a substantial C:\Documents and Settings\rjacklitch\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK71\Public meeting minutes 0I0505.doc J Meeting Minutes: Shadow Mountain 12-inch D-zone Water Main Extension January 5,2005 Page 4 amount of security equipment within the site as all well sites and potable water facilities are critical with respect to the new Homeland Security laws. Residents were also informed that it is likely they will see a higher level of police patrols,as this is a critical facility for the Town.

Concerning the adjustment for the lack of a well site on Sale Three,it appears that the adjustment is correct after all. I reread the report, and although somewhat confusing,it appears the appraiser considers a well site to be a detriment, and therefore a property without one would be superior. This is apparently his reasoning for the downward adjustment. The value appears to be okay. Enclosedp lease find an invoice for the review work we performed. Also, we have ordered a title report on the property from Stewart Title. They will be mailing it to you, along with a bill, in the near future. There will be no charge for ordering the title report, or for the information on the Thornydale Road project.

Feedback from the community meeting will be brought forward in a supplemental attachment before the January 19th meeting.

The following bids were submitted October 29, 2004: 1. KE&G Development LLC $483,500.00 2. Trinity Southwest Contractors $498,425.00 ThisJro'ect consists of installing over 4,000 linear feet of 12-inch water main including six fire hydrants placed p approximately five hundred feet in Shadow Mountain Estates to Calle Concordia and Oracle Road. This project is ever Y needed to integrate Tucson Water Well C-099 into the Oro Valley Water Utility's existing potable water system. We have included slurry-seal over the full width of Meadowbrook and Shadow Mountain Drive along the entire alignment after water line construction is complete. We selected this route over the original Overlook alignment because the existing pipe on Calle Concordia is undersized and would need to be replaced. Additionally, the contractor will bore Oracle Rd. and connect to the Utility's existing 16-inch "D" zone main on the east side to the"D"zone system on the west side of Oracle Rd. This needs to be completed as part of our capital improvement plan expansion related to the south Oracle"D" zone project, that we recently completed. TheJro'ect will be constructed according to Oro Valley Potable Water Standards,Tucson Water Standards, and American p Water Works Association and in accordance with Pima County Department of Environmental Quality Standards. This improvement is identified in the second year of our five year capital improvement plan and in the Oro Valley Potable Water System Master Plan 2003. The Utility's current year budget for this project is $750,000.00.The engineer's estimate was $643,230.00.

The Act establishes a short-term program under which the Federal Government will share in the payment of covered losses caused by certain acts of international terrorism. We are providing you with this notice to inform you of the key features of the Act, and to let you know what effect, if any, the Act will have on your premium. Under the Act, insurers are required to provide coverage for certain losses caused by international acts of terrorism as defined in the Act. The Act further provides that the Federal Government will pay a share of such losses. Specifically, the Federal Government will pay 90% of the amount of covered losses caused by certain acts of terrorism which is in excess of an insurer's statutorily established deductible for that year. The Act also caps the amount of terrorism-related losses for which the Federal Government or an insurer can be responsible at $100,000,000,000.00, provided that the insurer has met its deductible. Please note that passage of the Act does not result in any change in coverage under the attached policy or bond (or the policy or bond being quoted). Please also note that no separate additional premium charge has been made for the terrorism coverage required by the Act. The premium charge that is allocable to such coverage is inseparable from and imbedded in your overall premium, and is no more than one percent of your premium.

January 7,2005 MEETING MINUTES PROJECT NAME: Shadow Mountain 12-inch Main Extension PROJECT JOB NO.: 206.55.D 8000 DATE OF MEETING: Wednesday,January 5, 2005 TIME OF MEETING: 6:30 p.m. PLACE OF MEETING: Oro Valley Public Library Meeting Room ATTENDEES: Thom Martinez, WestLand Mark Ostermann, WestLand George Kendrick, OVWU Robert Jacklitch, O V WU Steve Faaborg, OVDPW Robert & Sherylene McMillin Jack and Belle Schneiker Twink Monrad Marrianne Williams John& Michele Dean Marianne McDaniel Elodie Winger Rosann Mulle Lisa Heimink James Kreigh SUBJECT: Shadow Mountain 12-inch D-zone Main Extension General: Oro Valley Water Utility staff and its consultants indicated the project will consist of the installation of approximately 4,000-feet of 12-inch D-zone water main.This will be constructed within the Shadow Mountain and Meadowbrook Drive street section within the public right-of-way of the Town of Oro Valley. The project will include the installation of approximately six fire hydrants which will provide needed fire flow to the existing area. The project will also allow the OVWU to convey water from the existing City of Tucson C-99 site to the Oro Valley existing D-zone system. It was explained to the public that the selection of the location of the 12-inch water main within the pavement section was selected to minimize the amount of disturbance of the existing landscaping as there is a substantial amount of landscaping outside of the pavement in this area. Upon completion of the project the contractor will slurry seal the entire alignment to provide a better roadway surface. Approximately 145 door hangers were hung in preparation for the meeting. A summary of the many questions that were asked as a result of the door hangers was provided. Commonly asked questions were as follows: C:\Documents and Settings\rjacklitch\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK71\Public meeting minutes 010505.doc Meeting Minutes: Shadow Mountain 12-inch D-zone Water Main Extension January 5, 2005 Page 2 Q: How will access to the driveways be maintained? A: It is the expectation of the utility that trenching operations will go relatively quickly throughout the street sections. No open trenches will be left overnight,as every night they will be either backfilled or plated to provide full access throughout the alignment. However,in the event that construction operations or trenching is going on in front of a particular driveway,the OVWU would work directly with the homeowners and contractors to notify them of the few times when driveway access will be closed for the installation of the pipeline and for paving. Q: Will there be full access along the roadway? A: The contractor will be required to provide at a minimum one-way traffic with flagmen at all times during construction for through traffic along the proposed alignments. Q: How will the garbage pickup be handled,as there are several garbage service providers picking up the trash on different days? A: The OVWU will coordinate with the contractor and the garbage pickup vendors to provide access or will move the garbage cans to accessible locations so that garbage service can be maintained throughout the project. Q: What will the trench opening be like? A: The pipeline is designed with a minimum amount of cover with ductile iron pipe to provide the smallest depth of cover possible for the project. The contractors generally do not open a full trench and the construction includes concurrent trenching and backfilling operations so the contractor can proceed with multiple operations at one time. It was reiterated, however, that all trenches will be either backfilled or plated at the end of each construction day. Q:_ When is construction scheduled to start? A: The OVWU indicated that the construction is expected to begin sometime in February and that there is a 90-day duration for this construction. Q: What will the fire hydrants look like that are along the alignment? Will they be flush or will they stick up out of the ground? A: The hydrants will be installed above ground. Generally fire hydrant construction consists of a flange being installed approximately 6-inches above grade with a fire hydrant assembly being installed which reaches an elevation of approximately 36-inches. Standard fire hydrants will be installed along the alignment. Q: Will you be connecting up service to our homes? A: No. Although the OVWU is coordinating with the City of Tucson to potentially take over water service of this area,there will be no house connections made as part of this project. C:\Documents and Settings\rjacklitch\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK711Public meeting minutes 010505.doc Meeting Minutes: Shadow Mountain 12-inch D-zone Water Main Extension January 5,2005 Page 3 Q: Where will the contractor put their spoils for the project? A: The construction specifications indicate that the contractor will use to the greatest extent possible the paving section to put the spoil materials on. Any disturbance to existing landscaped areas along the alignment will need to be replaced in kind by the contractor as part of the project. Q: How will the slurry seal operations take place? A: The slurry seal operations generally consist of a half traffic lane(approximately 12-feet)to be completed on one day. Generally the contractor completes the adjacent side of the street on the following day. Q: Why didn't the Town of Oro Valley notify residents regarding the acquisition of the service area,the construction of this water main,or the purchase of the proposed well? A: The OVWU notified the homeowners adjacent to the existing well and had a meeting with said homeowners in December to discuss the amenities associated with the well and has since added landscape plans in addition to noise abatement and masonry structures to minimize the impacts of the construction of the well. Q: Can you explain the existing system or how this well will operate? A: The proposed well will pump through the proposed 12-inch line to the Oro Valley D-zone system. The Oro Valley D-zone system is floated by the storage reservoir behind the El Conquistador Hotel,known as the El Con Reservoir. The pump will turn on and off based upon demands in the system and will be controlled off of the high water elevation of the proposed tank. The benefit of this gravity storage system is that in the event of a power outage customers including those located in Shadow Mountain Estates would have the ability for fire protection or any other domestic or commercial service even in the event of a power failure. Q: We are concerned about subsidence in the area. Is this a concern and is the Town insured against this type_of an event? Can the Town provide a written response on this issue? A: The OVWU has not experienced to this point any known subsidence at any of its well sites to date. It is p the expectation of the Utility that if there were subsidence the initial indications would be right at the well site and could be closely monitored. Oro Valley staff indicated they would talk to the legal department about an official response and indicated the Town has insurance very similar to that of all other local municipalities and was insured if there were any negligent acts. O: What kind of lighting will be at the site? A. splashlighting There will be li htin that will be placed inside of the site and will be pointed down. It is not the expectation that this splash lighting would be on at all times but there are motion sensors that would turn the lighting on in the event somebody was in the yard. In addition to the motion sensors there will be a substantial C:\Documents and Settings\ijacklitch\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK71\Public meeting minutes 010505.doc Meeting Minutes: Shadow Mountain 12-inch D-zone Water Main Extension January 5,2005 Page 4 amount of security equipment within the site as all well sites and potable water facilities are critical with respect to the new Homeland Security laws. Residents were also informed that it is likely they will see a higher level of police patrols,as this is a critical facility for the Town.

The Mount Lemmon/Sky Island Aerial Tram concept would connect the Catalina State Park area with Mount Lemmon. Although there has been no commitment to build the tram at this time, Mr. Lueck has been working with Pima County as an advisor to their Parks & Recreation Environmental Staff— and others — in examining the feasibility and desirability of the tram. If built, the Mount Lemmon/Sky Island Aerial Tram would be one of the largest trams in the world. The Mount Lemmon/Sky Island Aerial Tram's route would be entirely outside of the boundaries of the Pusch Ridge Wilderness Area, providing a cost-effective, environmentally-sensitive, and all-weather access alternative to motor vehicle travel on the Mount Lemmon Highway. The tram would also be a significant visitor attraction and economic stimulus to local business. By requiring two stations — one at an elevation of 3000-3200 feet, and the other at 8400 feet—the need for parking, reception, and ticketing facilities would be necessary. It is estimated that the travel time on the tram would be approximately 15-25 minutes on this proposed 5-mile long tram route. ATTACHMENT: Memo dated September 22, 2003, with attached Mt.

L.emmon by local Tt4son residents. His preliminary report is attached. Some of the key findings are; it is likely that accessibility to the Mt.Lernmon recreational area would be significantly increased by the use of a tram as opposed to the ahuttle,primarily due to significantly reduced travel tine of the tram over the shuttle. The travel time is anticipated to be approximately 15 to 25 minutes with a tram, as opposed to 90 to 120 minutes on a hitiol . In essence,for a day visitor to Mt.Lemmon on'the shurtle,orte-half of the day would be taken in travel time, as opposed to 10 percent with the shuttle. It is estimated that operating the shuttle van would require an annual operating subsidy of nearly $700,000 per year, whereas an aerial tram could be operated at breakeven or even be profitable, depending on the average fare. This preliminary feasibility assessment is only to initiate discussion and explore another potential option of improving access to the Mt.Lernmon recreation area for all of the residents of Pima County. Once you have had a chance to review the preliminary work, we should • discuss whether or not these possibiiities should be explored further with a wider number of interested parties, and in particular the Forest Service.

Huckelberry, Pima County Administrator From: Curtis C. Lueck, Ph.D., P.E., AICP Principal Date: 9-17-2003 Subject: Mount Lemmon/Sky Island Aerial Tram Preliminary Feasibility Assessment Overview This report summarizes our recent investigations into the feasibility of an aerial tramway from the foothills on the west side of the Catalina Mountains to the Mount Lemmon area. The entire route would be located outside the boundaries of the Pusch Ridge Wilderness Area. The tramway could provide a cost effective, environmentally sensitive, all-weather access alternative to motor vehicle travel on the Mount Lemmon Highway. Tramways are uncommon in the deserts of the southwestern United States, although Palm Springs, Albuquerque, and Lake Tahoe are examples of successful tramway operations. This report is based on a literature review and Internet search. It provides an introduction to tramway technology and a discussion of some of the tramways in the US and abroad. Two key resource documents include Federal Lands Alternatives Transportation Systems Study,' August 2001, and Pima County's Mount Lemmon Shuttle Study, September 1999.2 The report includes a brief discussion of the benefits and disadvantages of a tramway, a preliminary financial analysis, and an introduction to tramway technology, forecasts of resident population base, and some tramway applications in the US and abroad. CLA's engineering intern conducted some of the research in 2001, which we updated for this report. The basic concept is to plan, build, operate, and maintain a public access, state-of-the- art aerial tramway from the western slopes of the Catalina Mountains to the Summerhaven area. The tramway could provide improved access to Pima County residents on the north and west sides of the Valley. It would provide access for residents, visitors, and emergency services when the road is closed due to inclement Section 3039 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century(TEA-21) required the Secretary of Transportation, in coordination with the Secretary of the Interior, to"undertake a comprehensive study of alternative transportation needs in national parks and related federal lands." 2 The Mount Lemmon Shuttle is a voter-approved bond project that has not yet been implemented. weather or for repair. It could also be a significant visitor attraction and economic stimulus to local businesses. Two stations would be required. The lower station could be located at an elevation of 3000-3200 feet, somewhere between Catalina State Park and Biosphere 2. This station would require parking, reception and ticketing facilities. The upper station could be near the ski area or Summerhaven at an elevation of about 8400 feet, with transfer to a pedestrian/trail system and a circulator bus/shuttle. The tramway would be about 5- miles long with a 1-mile elevation gain. The estimated travel time is about 15-25 minutes depending on the technology used and the location of the stations. The number and height of towers would depend on the route and the tramway technology. Recommendations Based on the initial findings of financial feasibility we recommend that a discussion with potential stakeholders occur, and that more detailed technical analyses and pro forma be initiated. Tramway Benefits There are numerous benefits listed below. 1. Provide alternative mountaintop access via an alternative mode 2. Decrease travel demand/improved safety on Catalina Highway 3. Improved accessibility for residents and visitors, particularly on the west, north, and northwest sectors of the community 4. Improved accessibility during ski season (tram open while road is closed) 5. Support local businesses 6. Enhance regional tourism 7. Provide commuter services for Mount Lemmon employees 8. Provide access to Tucson for Mount Lemmon residents 9. Alternate emergency access 10.Potential for freight/goods delivery to/from Mount Lemmon area businesses and homes 11.Charge a forest user fees, dedicated to forest use and recovery programs 12. Rider fares pay for tram capital, operation and maintenance 13.Potential eco-tourism component/sponsorship by U/A or other institution 14. Possible federal funding/public private partnership/fully private 15. Integrate tram corridor with other utilities (electric, communications, etc) Tramway Disadvantages There are also several disadvantages listed below. Many of them can be mitigated during project design and by selecting appropriate equipment. 1. Visual impact of tram cars, towers, and cables 2. Possible impact on wildlife, wildlife habitat, and corridors 3. Places additional service demand on Mount Lemmon (water, sewer, waste disposal, etc.) GO IN Att, Page 2 of 4 Ctsrh Lucca;t Ab ociat 4. Additional traffic to/from lower station area 5. Additional pedestrian/shuttle demand at upper station Project Scoping Before the concept can advance, there is an obvious need to scope out any major issues and impediments with various stakeholders, interest groups, and stewards of land and the environment. This would include the following, at a minimum. 1. US Forest Service 2. Summerhaven residents/businesses 3. Environmentalists 4. County Supervisors 5. Arizona Congressional Delegation 6. Catalina Community 7. Oro Valley Community 8. Arizona State Parks 9. State Legislators 10. USDOT/FTA/ADOT 11. Newspapers/editorial board Project Planning The initial planning and preliminary design concepts would be similar to other transportation projects, except we would be addressing a high gradient transit system rather than a roadway or traditional bus system. Planning and design templates to follow are available from the US Forest Service and the Federal Transit Administration. Environmental analysis would be needed to comply with NEPA. The following steps could be followed. 1. Search for "fatal flaws" 2. Integrate with Pima County Comprehensive Plan 3. Conduct and Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Report 4. Prepare Technical Analysis/Feasibility study 5. Integration into Metropolitan Transportation Plan 6. Financial Planning/Pro Forma consultation 7. Retain Technical Advisor/Aerial Tram Expertise 8. Site Visits — helicopter reconnaissance 9. Field trips — Palm Springs, Albuquerque, Colorado, Lake Tahoe 10.Solicitation for private venture/public-private partnership Project Funding Like most transit projects, the tramway would be capital intensive. However, the ongoing operating costs could be relatively low and a positive cash flow (net profit) could be realized. A preliminary financial assessment is attached showing a profit potential, versus very significant subsidies for the Mount Lemmon shuttle bus. The analysis includes two variations of tramway and the shuttle. GO EN A Page 3 of 4 Curtis Lucck tit Associates Project Timeline Planning, design, and implementation would be similar to a major roadway or freeway interchange project. 1. Scoping/preliminary planning/feasibility - 18 months 2. Environmental and design — 36 months 3. Construction — 24 months 4. Total — 78 months or 6.5 year 01 At, Page 4 of 4 Curti:Luce;&A ciciat Attachment A - Preliminary Financial Analysis This attachment provides a very preliminary cost and revenue analysis for three Mount Lemmon access alternatives. Concept 1- Mount Lemmon Shuttle, which is the concept described and evaluated in a report prepared for Pima County by Parsons Brinckerhoff in September 1999. The report recommends using 17 passenger (+/-) cut away vans, propelled by heavy-duty gas engines. This would be a "publicly owned and contracted for management" service, somewhat similar to the current operation of Sun Tran. You and the County staff are already familiar with this concept, which was approved in the 1997 HURF Revenue Bond package. Concept 2 -Mount Lemmon Sky Island Aerial Tramway would be an approximately 5-mile long run, with about 5000 feet of elevation gain. The tram would start someplace near Catalina State Park or the end of Golder Ranch Road. This concept uses two 80-passenger cars that would require an operator. Concept 3-Mount Lemmon Aerial Tramway Gondola is similar to concept 2, but uses 16 gondolas, each carrying ten passengers. The gondolas don't need an operator, and so the experience would be more intimate. See the attached information on gondola systems. Both of the Sky Island Tramway concepts need an access road to the lower station and a circulator bus or van of some kind on the top. We included capital and maintenance costs for these and many other elements for all the alternatives in the financial analysis spreadsheet. The analysis is for a 30-year period based on constant 2003 dollars. The analysis for the shuttle is based mainly on the PB report. The analysis for the trams is based on the Federal Lands Alternatives Transportation Systems Study, August 2001. The preliminary analysis reveals that the shuttle bus would have relatively few riders (19,000 per year) and cost about $35 per round trip to provide the service. Assuming a fare of $2 each way or $4 round trip, the subsidy exceeds $30 per passenger. The service would lose about $660,000 per year, or almost $19 million over a 30-year period. This Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) money could probably be put to better use elsewhere. In comparison, the tramway would have almost 200,000 riders per year and a net profit of about $1.3 million per year, or $33 million over a 30-year period. The gondola system would have similar ridership and a net profit of about $2.8 million per year, or $83 million over the 30-year period. For both alternatives, we assumed an average fare of about $23 per passenger round trip. As a point of comparison, the Palm Springs, CA tram has over 400,000 annual riders paying an average fare of about $19. The Sky Island Tram would be about 30% longer than Palm Springs and have about the same elevation gain. Attachment A Page A- 1 From a policy perspective, either of the aerial tram options could conceivably generate enough profit to fully subsidize the shuttle bus system approved by the HURF bonds, freeing those funds for other uses. Conversely, the HURF bonds could be used to initiate the Sky Island Tram. These are merely observations and not recommendations to commingle the shuttle concept with the tram concepts. The Sky Island Tramway could be supportive to the desert and mountain communities with nominal impact on the environment. In our view, the funding for a tramway is conceivably a private venture, a public service (like Palm Springs'), or a public/private partnership. Obviously more detailed studies are needed if this idea is to proceed towards public discussion and possible implementation.

A recent book on the history of Mount Lemmon mentions a 1965 proposal. More recent, a Tucson group proposed the building of a five-mile tram from Cargodera Canyon, near Catalina State Park, to a point near Mount Lemmon's summit. The projected costs of the tram were $30 million in 1992, including commercial development at the upper and lower stations areas. The proposal also included a lodging complex to be built at the base of the mountain. The tram would have transported up to 1200 people per hour in twelve person tramcars. The project was perceived by some as being environmentally unsound. It failed due to lack of investment. In 1997, County voters approved $1.5 million for a Mount Lemmon shuttle to bus people from Sabino Canyon to a terminal and museum on Mount Lemmon. In 2000, the Board of Supervisors approved the running of the shuttle, contingent upon donation of the land for the shuttle terminal/museum. Several hundred Summerhaven residents opposed the proposed location of the terminal. Owners of the land fixed new requirements for the county to receive the land, and, in 2001, the Board pulled out. The county spent$70,000 on the terminal/museum design and $130,000 on land to be used as a base terminal. Presently, Allstate Limousine Service offers a shuttle service to Mount Lemmon. Trips leave three times a day. They start at the Bear Canyon Shopping Center, and end at the Mount Lemmon Café. Trips cost $21 round trip, $13 one-way. EXISTING TRAMS: Although aerial trams are commonly used for transporting winter skiers, they are used for a combination of other purposes. The following are examples of existing trams. Royal George Bridge Location: Canon City, Colorado Website: www.royalgorgebridge.com/attractions/ride_aerialtram.htm Information: Aerial tram with a car capacity of 35 Attachment B Page B- 1 Activities: This tram shows tourists the Arkansas River and the Colorado Mountains. There is agift shop and restaurant at the top of the tram. Hiking, backpacking, and boating are available.

"'`� r µ r-'-' AERIAL TRAM/GONDOLA TECHNOLOGY Every tram is built with different specifications to fit that tram's terrain and requirements. Cable width depends on the size and type of car to be used, how many towers are planned and their spacing. Most trams have multiple power and braking sources. Many also have wind gauges to prevent the tramway from operating when there are severe or gusty winds. Although each manufacturer has its own technology, safety is always the main concern. The following are some well known builders and their products. The Dopplemayr Company has been around fora while, and is one of the leading manufacturers. Dopplemayr has subsidiaries, branches and agents in over forty countries and to date has built over 8,000 ropeways on five continents. Attachment B Page B- 4 Each gondola and aerial tram is built differently, however, all share common characteristics. The gondolas are attached to the haul rope with detachable grips for safe and easy loading and unloading and the carriers travel through the terminals at creep speed before accelerating to a line speed of up to 6 m/s. Carrier capacity ranges from four to fifteen persons, with a system capacity reaching as many Yvu r as 3,600 persons per hour. <(P- 14, Y• ��F i8�ri Y A r< .i`*a3Sc ter. r¢.R F. as Poma has been around for more than a hundred years and specializes in cable transportation. Some facts about the gondolas made by Poma: the framework, made with a high-performance light alloy, is rustproof and is .}{ �, k ryd linked to the hanger with an anti-vibration plate. The bodywork is }a � •` yy ,x�s, xj4 made of composite materials, which increase impact resistance S; A and thermal insulation. Inspection zones are designed to be easily M. r accessible. The gondolas can fit four to 16 people, depending on the model. �r e ::C•tAlit; CTEC/Garaventa offers a full range of aerial tramways. Their cabins hold from 2 to 180 passengers. Installations for material transport can carry up to 15 tons. CTEC/Garaventa created the world's first tramway with revolving cabin floors and the world's largest tramway, with double-decker cabins holding 180 passenger. Both were built in Switzerland. Leitner Lifts is headquartered in Austria and is new to the US. Their drive systems, employing single or twin gear ;V motor units, can be configured for vault or overhead operation. Relevant safety features include full terminal k �: independent standbydrive unit, sheave monitoring, an :. batteries, and a patented grip. w Attachment B Page B- 5 CONCLUSION Tramways have proven effective as ways to connect mountainous areas. Their construction depends upon terrain and the needs of the community. They open up new possibilities for recreation, commuting, material transport, environmental support, and education.

The Pima Association of Governments provided an estimate of the population within 5, 10, and 25-miles of the intersection of Oracle Road and Tangerine Road for years 2000, 2010, and 2020. The information is summarized below. These statistics do not include visitor and tourist markets, which are expected to be the major portion of the tramway's ridership base. 5-mile radius: Year 2000 population = 35,026 Year 2010 population = 42,558 Year 2020 population = 50,088 10-mile radius: Year 2000 population = 162,871 Year 2010 population = 188,696 Year 2020 population = 214,505 25-mile radius: Year 2000 population = 783,777 Year 2010 population = 908,286 Year 2020 population = 1,033,511 Attachment c Page C- 1 Attachment D - Area maps �6, 7200 •---.-�-f 700 ?O �O 0 00 00 0 0 i t� 0 0 $200 CO o R' � - w . . ,, ,i 1 i , , ,.... , ,,, r., ,-.1 Ns ..: o„, , o, . _ 0 \ , , co 0o 1,...../i O O ,\ L� �, Cp G1 , 7600 .11•11,f�.:�a 8400 �!� % 8�0 11 o �►` 8321 _ _ _:.�,• .E o 0, le 'te 411:11% ct".7 c) g� 80 .M�iipk, 141_►7--..

Characteristics associated with high gradient transit technologies include steep grades, mountainous terrain, and potential disruption to wetlands or other sensitive environments. In some cases, tourist attractions have used these systems to capitalize on the novelty value of an exotic transportation mode. This technology category includes cog railways, funiculars, and aerial cable systems. High gradient transit technologies have all of the characteristics of fixed guideway transit technologies, excepting that they are not limited to grades under 10%.Like fixed guideway transit,high gradient transit is partially to fully automated and the level of passenger interaction and assistance on the part of the operator depends on the specific rail technology in use. High gradient transit is designed to operate in settings fully separated from the mixed-traffic setting of bus transit,and has fixed routes with fixed station stops. In settings with steep slopes and/or other environmental constraints,high-gradient technologies often offer the most direct and least-damaging transportation facility alignment. Second, most high gradient transit technologies emit no mobile source emissions of air pollutants and their point source emissions of air pollutants and noise are both readily mitigated. There are two main disadvantages to this type of transit. First, with the exception of the cog railway, it is only applicable to relatively short distances. Second, there are few suppliers, resulting in a limited availability of these vehicles for purchase,lease,rental,or charter. Cog railways or rack railways were initially implemented to allow conventional trains to ascend steep grades, enabling passengers to make a through trip rather than transfer to a funicular or aerial cable system. While typically used in mountainous areas on non-mainline railways,rack sections can be used on a railway where a steep grade may occur and with other rail modes. Some systems apply a combination of cog and normal rail adhesion technology. Funiculars (or inclined railways) have typically been implemented to provide access between points of significantly different elevation or along steep hills. They represent the most efficient means of ascending steep slopes over short distances. Funiculars have been implemented in parks and in urban areas to facilitate pedestrian movements. In the United States, funiculars operate successfully in cities such as Pittsburgh, PA and Chattanooga, TN and Johnstown, PA. Funiculars use a rail-based guideway with a moving cable propulsion system. Gondolas and reversible tramways are the principal types of aerial cable systems. Such operations, most often seen in ski areas,transport people individually or in small groups. Larger aerial cable systems provide line-haul transportation at activity centers. These systems employ larger vehicles and often provide transportation across geographical barriers such as lakes, in cases where a bridge is undesirable. An urban application of an aerial tramway connects Manhattan with Roosevelt Island,New York. The first two technologies in this section, cog railways and funiculars, most closely resemble the majority of those discussed in the fixed guideway transit section above. The latter two technologies, aerial tramways and gondolas, have elements in common only with the moving cableway shuttle transit of the previous section. 55 Federal Lands Alternative Transportation Systems Study Candidate Vehicle Technologies HIGH GRADIENT TRANSIT Cog Railways ..„,,..„:,..,./. .... .....I.:.::?-}}:-}:.}T:•:^�'v:i:::;:.}::•:i}:�" ':..:•.••:$'. x:K+::v:+•}i::.ii ii: }::±v..:...............n......... .................::. ...:�:v�: •::.}v: .}>.�F'f.•y..y::'+�•;\4^{i'v$$2r'V'n;:;:{r.$i'::4:.:{vv::+'•i•.t? .. . .....-.....::::.v::: : .i-}i}:iiv::::::::::w.......r..:r.•::::::::::::::..t:: -----los*:,.,,,,,,,,,,,:,,,,,,,,,,,•{.,-v:+"{y+ { -:.::.Frv:'•}��.;r:: 50-.,.};?•}Y;.:::•;•:>�.?.:.:s:�:<r•••>'•.•.�'?}.;{`:,.• J �Y: y: 5: :�}:4ii:?•:i?i:?�i:`'/.i:::ii$+::{.:.:5�?r ,F:f'.-.",f'y'ir r•3+-' r/?5::. :::. ,.... ...:.: .......}}^:4Y:Y}}:::•::r:.n+:Y::•i:;i+Y?•r}:rn}•v r}'4}'{ i?Y.F r /.y W)W+'-�'. :.v.,...... .::iii}':::::.:.. };;�;••4:} . :?:f:;;?:i:•;'>i:'r ::$::>•:,:ru::{{+:;d.?;i:?}x.5.,ri:$::{.;.:••r-"`27.`•{$'(5•'.r.s:•:J.-v.;t$:::::.::-:::: n.h::..:v::::?<}?:i�i'� t;•5.v..}}{4•:}i}:kY.?.,.;.,, ,t ..J,... :::wv::.:.�:::::::::::.:::v:ii}>}i}ii:�ii:r:i:•ii}:%;}:!!-Yi:4:?4i}'•:•i±ii�:•+}::•:vn4.v:::•:: {..}i}}�iii:4i:ti}i:�ii;:}•.' :!5Q .!i{r.:n�f:4+vf Y:•:4.!•.S:•:.: :}.C5$$$r).}rrt,.,:it:.f.::f-,/,r::.{•r:::••: Fr?!. -:lr r.:w•rr.:+�::r �/r.' ............. !t:b: :4:>:ii:;: iitt }Y:��:}::::...:,::$r.::Yr �$r#(f:.}•rf;.`i;`<'"'Jiif{$'J..}�{r-rr .. • .. ,±,::......:.:�.}:r.•::: :{4};}y}r.;:;}::..:-}:::::{:::?•:is S::Sc:t;:::fi'f$ri:•Y••:/f$x}.?c:�.2$$�'f`'J/f ,a��i`.. • :.....:..:::::....::4:44:. ;urii q 4iY 4:4,11111111111104 -7 .!'• }� ,.-y ''?;J',r'�r?''t�Y`:Y ..t..�Y`4 :!u+f':.¢+':+ $r','H'•�$.'�„`.. ,�5 rrr..

An earlier version of the Plan was submitted to voters in the November 2003 election and was defeated 59% to 41%. Post election research conducted by an independent research firm indicated that one of the major reasons was a perceived lack of understanding of the Plan. A review of the voter survey conducted in February of 2004 revealed that 20% of the voters voted "no" because they did not feel they understood the Plan, or that it was too vague and lacked details. After further collapsing the "other comments," nearly 8% did not trust local government to implement the plan and another 10% were not convinced that the Plan was "any good." It is safe to say that ill-informed voters will vote "no" regardless of the merit of the ballot item. The 2003 election was conducted entirely through mail-in ballot, representing a turnout of about 9,000 voters which equals 43% of 20,579 registered voters at that time. After the rejection of the first Plan a broad-based citizen's committee was formed to make revisions. Key opponents were invited to participate in the process as were other diverse interests such as the Southern Arizona Home Builders Association (BARBA). A public vote on the revisions is anticipated for November 1, 2005. A determination has not yet been made whether the election will be polling place or mail-in. Under Arizona Revised Statutes Sec. 9-500.14, a municipality may expend resources for education and information regarding a ballot proposition. A municipality may not expend resources for advocacy. Communications Objective Enable the citizens of Oro Valley to make an informed decision when they cast their vote on the Oro Valley General Plan. Key Audiences 1. Voters 2. News media 3. Business community Creative Development & Positioning As noted before, a municipality cannot advocate for a "yes" vote on the General Plan. Therefore, the positioning of the ballot question and the development of creative themes are somewhat constrained. A call to action, a desirable element in the positioning statement, is generally limited to exhortations to remember to vote. However the survey data provide some specific areas that can be addressed. One example is the "trust in government" issue that runs beneath the surface in every election and in every community. As the General Plan Review Committee nears the completion of its task, the Town will need to explore other opportunities to deal with issues such as "trust." There are some general guidelines that will be incorporated into the development of educational materials: 1. For materials that are developed for distribution, the messages will simple and to the point. Voters are being constantly bombarded with information and it's difficult to cut through the communications clutter without simplifying the message. 2. We will stress the strong aspects of the Plan. It is acceptable to tailor our messages so that they put our best foot forward without suggesting an action or touting consumer benefit of passage. 3. We will avoid government and planning jargon. 4. We will produce printed materials that are low-cost. Taxpayers are often uncomfortable with government spending for promotional purposes, and expensive production implies advocacy regardless of how the copy reads. 5. We will provide a location — preferably the Web site and the Library —where voters can find the entire Plan prior to the mailing of 2 ballots. There are those who will want to take the time to study it in its entirety before making up their minds. Strategies The strategies outlined below are intended to be public information/education efforts only and will not include any advocacy messages. (Because of the legal and financial limitations it will be optimal to have these educational programs and an independent advocacy committee if one should form on its own). The assumption in this plan is that the Town will again employ an all mail ballot campaign. Campaign efforts will be clustered in two main periods: 1) Between the first Council review in February and the required Town Council hearing in June, and 2) after Labor Day until the final deadline for submission of the ballots. Community Relations / Speakers Bureau The high degree of citizen interest and participation in Town issues means that a well-informed speaker's bureau must be available to respond to all requests. This speaker's bureau will consist of Mayor and Council members, key staff and active, articulate members of the General Plan Revision Committee. Regardless of the degree of familiarity with the Plan, a speaker's briefing book and training will be developed to make sure that key points are covered and that speakers will accurately address concerns. Leadership Breakfasts Key community and neighborhood leaders will be identified early in the program and an invitation extended to one of 2 or 3 leadership breakfasts. These breakfasts will be lead by a Council member or the Mayor and will be limited to 20 to 30 people. The goal is to give an in-depth presentation of the Plan and answer concerns and questions. Invitations to these events will also include non-resident opinion leaders, such as business owners who are not Town of Oro Valley voters, but who can be are influential in the process. Neighborhood, Business & Community Groups A notice will be sent to every organized neighborhood or homeowner's association, business group and local service organization informing them of the availability of speakers who can provide background information about the Plan. Follow-up calls to neighborhood leaders will be made to ensure solid attendance and wide dissemination of information. 3 As meetings are held, individuals and groups will be solicited for anendorsement of the plan to provide 3rd party validation. (This information may be forwarded to an advocacy committee for later use if such a committee should form). Town Halls There will be a number of Town Hall and other public meetings, for both input and for public education: 1) The Committee will continue to hold Town Hall-style open houses to explain the Committee's work to date and to solicit additional opinions from the general community. In addition, there will be public hearings before both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council, thus allowing additional input. 2) At least two additional town hall meetings will be initiated under this plan; theywill be scheduled on different days of the week and preferably held at different locations to facilitate attendance. Each town hall should include as many of the Mayor and Council and committee members as possible. The best format for such events is an open house that features a number of displays accompanied by representatives of the Town or the committee. This casual style encourages questions and enhances dialogue with the attendees. Notification in the form of an invitation will be printed in the newspaper, but ap articular a "community leader" list will be developed to identify opinion leaders in Oro Valley. This group will receive both a written invitation and a telephone follow-up. These events will occur at least ten days before ballots are mailed to allow time for the information to permeate the community. Earned Media — Editorial Press relations will begin immediately with individual briefings of editorial boards scheduled as quickly as possible after the completion of the Revision Committee's work. This first contact will be critical to ensure that reporters and editorial staff are accurately informed to prevent misinformation being communicated to the public. Ap ress-briefing packet with the revised plan, appropriate maps and a frequently-asked-questions (FAQ)) sheet will be prepared before the first round of editorial staff meetings. 4 Two rounds of editorial staff meetings will be held. The first will occur after the Town Council hearing and another after Labor Day, before ballots are mailed. pieces Op-ed will be written and submitted to the NW Explorer and the AZ Daily Star NW. Elected officials and other influential citizens should author these. Additional op-ed pieces or letters to the editor will be prepared as needed to highlight portions of the plan and to correct any misleading or erroneous articles. Earned Media — News Stories Several news conferences or individual reporter briefings should be scheduled to enable community groups to highlight portions of the Plan and top rovide an opportunity for reporters to keep the issue in the front of the local news. Advertising & Citizen Contact • Newspaper— By far, respondents in the February 2004 survey identified newspapers as their primary source of information about the General Plan. A series of ads designed to "walk" the reader through the Plan and the process that its development demanded will be included in the public information and education program. Each ad will be repeated at least once to ensure maximum readership. Budget allowing, the ad campaign will run in both the Northwest Explorer and Tucson Newspapers' Northwest Edition. Tentatively, the schedule should consist of the following elements: 1. Introduction of the Plan. The first ad should explain the need and benefits of a community plan with the emphasis on the community process that developed the final instrument. The differences between the current (1996) Plan and the new one should also be highlighted. 2. The second ad will discuss the future of Oro Valley and inform citizens about (and encourage attendance at) the upcoming town halls. 3. The last ad will appear the week that the ballots are mailed out and will address any major concerns that have arisen from the town halls or other speaking events. • Community Newsletters -- Ads or free-standing inserts will be placed in community newsletters informing residents about the Plan and the town halls. Major messages will reflect the newspaper advertising, but because these publications are normally on a 5 monthly schedule, the major communications points will need to be addressed in one or two ads or inserts. • Signs -- Signs should be the purview of an advocacy group, if one should form. Small yard signs can be very effective in influencing neighbors. We will consider larger signs on allowed locations with the message about voting on this important question for Oro Valley's future. • Brochure & Mail -- An information brochure or tabloid will be designed to inform residents about the content of the revised Plan and information about the election. The brochure will be mailed to every voter household before their mail ballots arrive. The brochure will also be the main piece used by the speaker's bureau and distributed at the town halls. • Telephone -- A phone canvass to inform residents about the Plan would be best left to an advocacy group, if one should form. As previously noted, however, telephone contact can be extremely effective in generating attendance at events. • Water Bill Inserts -- Inserts will be created for the water bills to inform residents of the town hall meetings and to give them the web site and phone number to call if they have questions about the General Plan. • Website -- Once the Plan is approved for election, a page should be developed that can be easily accessed from the main Town website. This page will lead a citizen through Plan in the least complicated manner. Key concerns in the form of a Q & A will be readily available to web visitors. • TV and Radio —The electronic media are not cost-effective for this election. Too small a portion of the listening audience is eligible to participate. Conclusion Turning around a 10 point deficit is a significant task if the pool of active voters remains the same. Almost 60% of the voters who chose to weigh in on this issue have already cast negative votes and it will be challenging to convince them that a "new-improved" Plan will be worthy of their support. The best way to make passage of a General Plan a reality is to engage more voters by building a community consensus, then increasing turnout. We believe that this plan of action accomplishes that goal. 6 TOWN OF ORO VALLEY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: January 19, 2005 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR& COUNCIL FROM: Brent Sinclair, AICP, Community Development Director Bob Kovitz, Public Information Officer SUBJECT: PRESENTATION OF GENERAL PLAN PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, INFORMATION AND EDUCATION PLAN BACKGROUND: At the November 17, 2004 Town Council meeting, the Council directed staff to develop a draft public participation and education plan enlisting the advise of staff, Revision Committee members and Town Council. Initially, Staff developed a working draft that included many methods of input and outreach. This was introduced to the Revision Committee and several members responded with comments and suggestions. Because of the magnitude of this project, staff engaged the services of an outside professional consulting firm to organize and assimilate our ideas into a workable coordinated plan. Zimmerman and Associates was the consultant chosen since they have significant expertise with public education and ballot proposition elections in this region. SUMMARY: The attached draft Public Participation, Information and Education Plan developed by Zimmerman and Associates is comprehensive in scope and addresses actions that are necessary from now until election. It identifies who is to take the lead role in each action. Overall, the plan contains many different types of actions that will require hands-on participation from designated staff, Mayor and Council, ex-Revision Committee members and community leaders. This plan is designed for the use of the Town, its staff and its volunteers. It is not a plan for an Independent Expenditure Committee or a Political Action Committee, although such a group may be organized outside the auspices of the Town. Key elements of this plan are: • Additional public participation opportunities in the form of Open Houses and Public Hearings • Active public information efforts using different media, meetings, mailers and the Internet • Ongoing public education and information exchange with community groups, leaders and citizens Key decision points are: • All mail-in ballot. The decision to conduct the election via an all mail ballot has fiscal implications as well as timing issues. The cost is more, however greater voter participation is assured. Since ballots are actually sent to voters a month in advance of the election date, information and education efforts must be planned accordingly. The attached draft plan and timetable assumes an all mail-in ballot will be used. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY 7OUNCIL COMMUNICATION Page 2 of 2 • Use of consulting services. The scope of this plan is much broader than can be accomplished by existing staff resources. Therefore, it is recommended to enlist the services of a professional communication/education firm to assist the Town in the implementation of the plan. Consulting services would include designing and packaging informational/educational fliers, telephone information campaigns, display advertising campaign, press kits, leadership meetings and other activities to reach the greatest number of likely voters. A Gantt chart is also attached to show actions that have already taken place, as well as actions and milestones that are needed in order to adopt the revised General Plan and present it to Oro Valley voters in a November 2005 election. This item will first be presented to the Town Council for review and comment in a Council Study Session on Thursday January 13. Therefore, supplementary materials will likely be provided to the Council pending modifications that are made as a result of that session. FISCAL IMPACT: Costs to implement the Plan are estimated at $24,000. Jur FY 2004/05 Budget does have money allocated for the General Plan within the Public Information ($14,000) and the Planning and Zoning ($25,000) segments of the Budget to cover the costs for this fiscal year. Addition funds will need to be requested for next fiscal year to cover the costs of printing and binding the revised plan and election costs. ,C nity Ivekopnnent Director P c .. ormation ficer'' 4 I oti Town Manager Attachments: 1.

BIO-CONSULTING, REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY OWNER,REQUESTS AN AMENDMENT TO THE RIPARIAN MAP ASSOCIATED WITH CHAPTER 10 SECTION 10-7 OF THE OVZCR TO REMOVE A RIPARIAN HABITAT DESIGNATION ON A PORTION OF THEPARCEL, THE SITE IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF TANGERINE ROAD AND LA CHOLLA BOULEVARD, PARCEL 224-08-0020 BACKGROUND: The applicant requests to amend the Town's Riparian Habitat Protection Overlay District (Chapter 10 Section 10-7 of the Oro Valley Zoning Code Revised) by removing 2.18 acres of designated Low Xeroriparian area. The Oro Valley Zoning Code Revised defines "Riparian" and"Low xeroriparian" as follows. RIPARIAN HABITATS: biological communities occurring in association with any spring, cienega, lake, watercourse, river, stream, creek, wash, arroyo, or other body of water, either surface or sub-surface, or any channel having banks and beds through which water flows, at least periodically. Riparian habitats may be generally characterized or distinguished into three classes, hydroriparian, mesoriparian and xeroriparian, by a difference in plant species composition, or an increase in the size and/or density of vegetation, as compared to upland areas, as follows: LOW XERORIPARIAN C HABITATS: typically occur along minor watercourses and along the peripheral edges of major watercourses. The typical vegetative volume per unit area in this habitat is between 0.500 and 0.675 M 3/M2. Whitethorn Acacia, Catclaw Acacia, Desert Creosote Bush, Bunchgrasses and Bursage are typically found within Low Xeroriparian C Habitats. The aforementioned zoning definition must be used to determine the validity of such a designation. To this end, the applicant hired JKE Bio-Consulting to analyze the site. Furthermore, the Town hired Harris Environmental to review all findings. SUMMARY: Existing and Future Conditions: The subject parcel consists of 32.17 acres with a current zoning of R1-144. The site is designated Neighborhood Commercial (area abutting Tangerine and La Cholla) and Medium Density Residential in the 1996 General Plan. Staff anticipates that a rezoning application will be filed in the future. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY :OWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Page 2 There are two linear riparian habitat overlay designations on the parcel (see attached map). The linear strip on the westernp ortion of the property is the subject of this application. It is bisected by Tangerine Road to the north and La Cholla Boulevard to the west. Water flow is an obvious consideration. Historically, drainage has always traversed this 2.18 acre area. Tangerine Road; however, was a significant barrier. In the past, the flow had been sufficient enough to create a cluster of typical riparian vegetation—but not at an intensive volume. The extent and pattern of water flow has already changed very recently due to reconstruction of the La Cholla Boulevard and Tangerine Road intersection. The Town has installed three (3) new 45-inch elliptical culverts underneath Tangerine Road. The culverts will inject flows to the designated riparian area that will reach a projected magnitude of 67 cubic feet per second in a 100-year event. Process and Analysis: On September 21, 2004, the applicant's consultant, JKE Bio-Consulting, and the Town's (Harris Environmental) met onsite to conduct an extended site review of the subject parcel. The surface drainage patterns, vegetation composition and disturbance of the site were all evaluated. The following is a brief summary of findings: • JKE Bio-Consulting: The formal report by JKE Bio-Consulting (attached) concludes that xeroriparian area has been degraded to the point of not meeting the zoning code vegetative volume standard because of the limited flows across the site. • Harris Environmental: The Harris letter (attached) concludes the same. The vegetative volumes are typical of riparian areas; however, they do not meet the threshold established within the zoning definition. The letter also makes special note of the potential impact of the newly installed culverts. The injection of new flows could result in a rejuvenation of growth that will meet the proscribed vegetative volumes. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service have also provided input. The following is a synopsis of information provided in a letter dated September 27, 2004 (attached): "Xeroriparian drainages provide valuable wildlife habitat. In this particular area, xeroriparian habitats are used by the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl, a species listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Protection of xeroriparian areas is important for maintaining long-term habitat values for wildlife in urbanizing areas of Oro Valley." .....we recommend that the Town consider the biological contributions of this drainage, not just the technical criteria for determining its classification. It is important to note that the designation of a drainage as jurisdictional by the Army Corps of Engineers does not TOWN OF ORO VALLEY 'OWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Page 3 necessarilyinclude consideration of the biological values or vegetation characteristics of that drainage, but primarily water flows and other hydrological factors." Staff Conclusion: The zoning provides code ob'ective criteria to establish the validity of a riparian habitat classification via � vegetative volume standards. The standards were created because the determination of what qualifies as "riparian" ified in the comments can vary considerably. The weakness of using such a rigid standard is exemplified provided by USFWS (consideration of biological value) and Harris Environmental (new flows may change the volume count in the future). It also fails to recognize the value of maintaining a segment of a linear riparian area that extends roughly 2.5 miles. The adopted standard, nonetheless, dictate the need for removing the prescribed designation based on existing conditions. If the habitat designation is removed, staff would urge that the following be accomplished upon submittal of a rezoning, plat and/or development plan: 1. The significant and healthy vegetation must be transplanted to supplement the other riparian area found onsite. 2. An easement in the location of the current drainage way must be granted in order to maintain continuous flows from the riparian area to the north—through the site—and across La Cholla Boulevard. GENERAL PLAN CONFOMANCE: The following is the most relevant General Plan policy: 8.1G Indigenous (native desert) vegetation and riparian habitats should be maintained and enhanced where possible. The applicability of this policy depends on the definition of"riparian". As previously stated, staff would recommend conditions to preserve vegetation as part of a future rezoning,plat and/or development plan. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: As required by State Statue and the Oro Valley Zoning Code Revised, public notification was provided to the applicant and adjacent property owners. No public comment has been received. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTION: The Planning and Zoning Commission adopted the following motion at their regular meeting of December 7, 2004: "Commissioner Krenkowitz MOVED that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that Town Council approve OV9-04-06, amending the riparian map by removing the xeroriparian habitat designation on the western portion (adjacent to La Cholla Blvd.) of parcel 224-08-0020, subject to two conditions, the first of which is designated as Condition 1 on the proposed Exhibit A to Ov9-04-06 and the second TOWN OF ORO VALLEY _'OWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Page 4 Condition (replacing Staff's original condition 2) shall be that suggested by Laidlaw Consulting faxed yesterday to Staff: #2 A drainage flow easement to convey 100 year storm runoff across the property to a designated exit point on La Cholla Blvd., to be defined at the time of submittal of a rezoning, plat or development plan application. " Commissioner McKee seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-0 FACTORS FOR: 1. Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to remove the riparian designation. 2. The conclusions of both the applicant's and Town's consultants that plant densities do not qualify as xeroriparian per the OVZCR definition. 3. The riparian area is severely fragmented; it is bisected by Tangerine Road and La Cholla Boulevard. 4. Downstream flows can be maintained via an easement. S. Significant vegetation must be transplanted to supplement the remaining riparian area on site as provided in Exhibit A. FACTORS AGAINST: 1. The recent installation of culverts, near the intersection of La Cholla Boulevard and Tangerine Road1will restore water flows that may result in re-vegetation of the riparian area over time. 2. There is biological value to maintain a continuous length of riparian area over the 2.5 mile corridor. SUGGESTED MOTIONS: The Town Council may wish to consider one of the following suggested motions: I move to approve OV9-04-06, proposed riparian map amendment by removing the xeroriparian habitat on the western portion of parcel 224-08-0020, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit A attached herewith.

Xeroriparian Evaluation Khan Group Property Adjacent to Southeast corner Tangerine Rd. & La Cholla Blvd. 10 Prepared By: J.H.E. Bio-Consulting Tucson, Arizona INTRODUCTION To obtain understanding, Mr. TariqA. Khan wanted clarification of the Town of Oro ' designation of"Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitat"to the small drainage in the Valley's des g p northwest corner of his property. Mr. Khan also wanted another current investigation of this sameg performed.small drainage to be The results could then be compared to parametersdefining din "Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitats", determining concurrence or difference with the designation. This finding would provide Mr. Khan with a second g opinion as to the area meetingthe criteria for "Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitats". J.K.E. Bio-consulting was contracted to obtain a definition of "Low Xerorlparian"C" Habitat", and to investigate this small drainage. Jay Esler owner of J.K.E. Bio-Consulting first e gate na g visited the site to determine if the designation was easily ground-truthed. After preliminary performing, a reliminar site-visit and investigation, finding that the small drainage did not support strong evidence for being xeroriparian, a further investigation was requested. ointment was made with Bryant Nodine AICP (Planning &Zoning Administrator) An app to discuss the designation of"Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitat", currently given to the g above-mentioned portion ortion of Mr. Khan's and his partner's property. After discussing the defmitionsubcategory designated,of the subcate o desi nated, Mr. Esler requested a ground-truthing protocol was appropriate for the designation method and expectable to the Town of Oro that Valle . In addition, Mr. Esler requested approval as a"Town Qualified Biologist" Y providing a Statement of Qualifications for review. In a subsequent telephone p g conversation with Mr. Nodine approval as "Town Qualified Biologist"was granted. The pp designation of"Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitat" was described as a vegetation volume value, warranting a specific field investigation method (Protocol) to be used to perform a pe valid studyof the area and obtain a comparable result. Use of the same method would prevent different fmdings as the result of different methods being used. Different methods mayproduce different results for the same exact area. The different results found when using different methods often reflect inconsistencies and limitations in methodology and do not necessarily represent different determinations of what is present. m gY Using a different method for comparing previously obtained results is not valid and should not be used in a peer review. After several discussions between the Town of Oro Valleyand their consultant, Mr.Nodine obtained a protocol to be used for ground- truthing designated desi nated area. In addition to defining the required method, other specific parameters of consideration were added to the protocol. This approved and required method combined withspecific parameters of consideration were selected to assure that any independent investigation would considered the same factors when determining an independent conclusion. This protocol was then provided to Mr. Esler. The use of this protocol was required in evaluating the designation of "Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitat" given bythe Town of Oro Valley to the small drainage located in the northwest corner of the property. 1 STUDY AREA The studyarea is described as a small drainage approximately 750 ft. in length. The small drainage is located in the northwest corner of the parcel of undeveloped land g Rd. and La Cholla Blvd.. adjacent to the southeast corner of the intersection of Tangerine J• 1/4 '4 of section 3, Township 12 S, This small drainage is located in the N W of the NW / p Range 13 E,on the U.S.G.S. 7.5-minute Ruelas Canyon, Arizona topographical map. Thecommunity biotic present is classified as the Arizona Upland Subdivision of Sonoran D supporting su orting a Paloverde-Cacti-Mixed Scrub Series. Elevations range from 2780 ft. at the north end to 2760 ft. at the south/southwest end. Topography is described rollingwith ageneralpattern of rolling as you move east or west. The gently rolling as topography results in an approximately 5-15-f1. difference in elevation from upper portions to the depressions where runoff collects and combines. The characteristics of the surrounding uplandvegetation vary due to differences in slope and aspect. These differences effect the available moisture is reflected in the plant community supported in the immediate area. The small drainage starts at the north edge of the parcel adjacent and south of the Tangerine Rd. right of way. The small drainage runs basically south/southwest at 210°. The small drainage ends at the west edge of the parcel east and adjacent to the La Cholla Blvd right of way. There is no contiguous clear non-vegetated channel or drainage present. Vegetation is found in the channel intermittently resulting in na no opendrainage.or clear draie. Fragmented clear drainage sections with no banks loosely define the main runoff channel in this small drainage. At the southern end of the study area, loosely the defined main runoff channel splits into several different channels. Consequently, no main drainage channel is present in southern most portions including the end adjacent to the La Cholla Blvd. right of way. The small drainage is a confluence of runoff from the opposing and adjacent slopes. Topography in the area generally causes sheet flooding to concentrate in the lower elevations. Vegetation characteristics in this small drainage vary in size, diversity, density, and volume in relationship to the available moisture. Beginning at the north end of the small drainage and moving south, the vegetation density, volume, and size initially decrease in the immediate plant community. After the initial decrease,these same vegetation characteristics then increase asy ou move south where you find the higher values. Diversity is decreased at the south end. This is most likely due to a change in slope and aspect along with widening of the drainage into a fingering bottom area. It should be mentioned that the differences stated are micro differences found in relatively small areas. These variances have validity due to the fact the over all study area is only 750 ft. in length. Portions directly adjacent to the roads support higher values in these same parameters due to the roadway's associated increase in water retention. 2 PARAMETERS protocol after the description of"LOW XEROIPARIAN "C" On page two of the p the various parameters that should be considered when determining HABITATS" xeroriparian habitats are listed. A list of these parameters follows,taken from the protocol. 1 The area in question must occur alongor adjacent to a watercourse. This should be discernable both from an aerial photograph and on the ground. 2 Have drainage patternschanged ched since designation? For example, have there been g changes in hydrologybecause of development, or installation of flood control devices? 3 Species composition should be similar to that listed in the Xeroriparian A, B, or C descriptions. Xeroriparian plant species composition may be distinct from the arp speciesp composition that occurs on the surrounding uplands, or it may be similar, but exhibitg more vigorous and robust growth forms and/or increased plant density. 4 xeroriparian Vegetationalongxerori arian washes is generally more densely spaced than vegetation in the surrounding upland. g 5 Vegetation volume should fall within the ranges presented in the Xeroriparian A, B, or descriptions (Table 1). that theseparameters must be considered when determining the validity of The premise classifying areas as one of the three Xeroriparian subcategories is also restated in the last pagetop three and the of page four. A copy of the protocol is included with paragraph on this report. 3 METHOD FOR EVALUATING PARAMETERS (1-4) g Four field visits and investigations of the study area were performed on different days. Each of the parameters was addressed by investigating the surrounding areas and parcel. All the pertinent areas were investigated, analyzed, and recorded in field notes. 'c evidence was also obtained to be analyzed and included with this report. Photographic Aerial photographs were also reviewed for possible evidence supporting a conclusion. A U.S.G.S. 7.5-minute topographical ma a hical was reviewed for any evidence related to the p Army Corps.An U.S. Co s. of Engineers Section 404 Jurisdictional Delineation investigation report from March, 2003 was also reviewed at a later date. (See Addendum) METHOD FOR DETERMINING VEGETATION VOLUME(Parameter 5) To determine vegetation volume in the field a string line was measured and marked from Oto25meters usin 30meter tape measure. The zero point was marked several meters in from the end of the sting so that the line could be staked or tied to the vegetation present. After the 25-meter mark the string continued for several meters also. The string pulledtight could be horizontally through a typical and representative section of "Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitat", keeping the string as straight as possible. designatedp Eachg meter mark on the orange string line was marked in black and approximately equal to the diameter on the 7.5-meter forestry pole used. When making each vertical investigation the polein all ation was leveled ll directions with the base on the ground and the pole coveringthe string line mark. A small plastic ruler was held or attached to the pole. The ruler was adjusted to set at a one-decimeter radius perpendicular perp endicular to the pole. This radius could now be rotated 360°. Each"hit" was on alternating recorded on theprovided sample data sheet. Six transects were performed • "Low sides of the small drainage, .5-3 meters from the center of the designated Xeroriparian"C"Habitat". Each transect was photographed and delineated on a reproduction of an aerialphotograph hotograph of the study area. By alternating sides of the "Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitat", different aspects, and slopes were sampled designatedp providing themost representative data from the various microhabitats present. No mathematical analysis was done while performing the transects and recording the data. The data from each transect was analyzed. In addition, data was combined to get an overall result. Data sheets,transect photographs, (Report Copy# 1) and a map are included with this report. 4 RESULTS This section contains the results from investigating each of the five parameters listed in the approved and provided protocol. Number one,the relationship to a watercourse: The study area is not part of a watercourse or adjacent to a watercourse. North and adjacent to the study area is Tangerine Rd. Tangerine Rd. is elevated approximately two feet above the surrounding undisturbed land. (See Copy One, Photos 1&2) No defined watercourse isp resent north of Tangerine Rd., which flows into, or aligns with the study area. A cleared utility easement running parallel and north of Tangerine Rd. clearly shows an absence of any defined watercourse associated with the study area. (See Photos 3&4) The elevated road diverts runoff north of the study area and Tangerine Rd.. Flow generallymoves in an easterly direction. Runoff, which accumulates on the north side of Tangerine Rd. and across from the study area, flows approximately 400 ft. east towards an improvement(culvert) which allows flow under Tangerine Rd.. This flow is associated with the other designated xeroriparian area in the parcel. An earthen birm is present at the southern end of the study area adjacent to La Cholla Blvd.. This birm causes water retention resulting in enhanced vegetation characteristics. In addition, the birm prevents normal runoff from flowing west across La Cholla Blvd.. This earthen birm is associated with shoulder improvements on the eastside of the La Cholla Blvd. right of way. (See Copy One, Photos 5&6) South and west of the study area west of La g Cholla Blvd., a watercourse begins to be defined. A confluence of runoff from sheet flooding from the adjacent east facing slopes combine with runoff flowing south along La Cholla Blvd. forming the beginning of a watercourse. The study area(small drainage) is not a significant contributing factor in the formation of this watercourse. The small drainage was also determined not to be connected to the watercourse west and south by an investigation independently performed by the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers in March of 2003, thus establishing a concurring opinion. (See Addendum) Number two, drainage pattern changes: No improvements have effected drainage patterns since the designation was made. There are the two improvements causing major changes to normal runoff and drainage patterns and effecting the study area. These are the construction and improvement of Tangerine Rd. and La Cholla Blvd. As mentioned in the discussion above both of these roads divert and alter drainage flow in the area. The two adjacent roads are important factors effecting drainage patterns and should be considered when associating the study area with the surrounding areas. Both have the effect of dissociating the study area from any north or west drainage. The two roads prevent the possibility of contiguous flow into the small drainage from the north and flow out of the small drainage to the west. The current Public Works Project elevates Tangerine Rd. another 3-6 ft., does not create regular flow into the small drainage, and therefore does not effect the finding. (See Addendum) 5 Number three, plant species composition. The plant species composition found in the study area does not differ significantly from upland. All theplant species found in study area can also be found the surrounding p throughout the parcel in areas not described as xeroriparian. This is expected as mentioned in the description of"Low Xeroriparian "C" Habitats". Although plant species composition strongly is not a strop 1 defining characteristic of"Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitats", the common occurrence of several cacti species found in the drainage bottom contradicts the compositionexpected ected in "Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitat". Also the p shrub, Mexican crucillo (Condalia Warnockii var. Kearneyana) found throughout the is not usuallyassociated with xeroriparian habitats. (See Copy One, small drainage Photos 7&8) Theportions of the studyarea which exhibit the most vigorous and robust j are adjacent to the roads and are not found in other areas of the small growth forms � drainage. Number four, vegetation density. The vegetation in the studyarea is not found more densely spaced than the surrounding upland. Numerous areas throughout the parcel not described as xeroriparian support equalhigherplant and densities. (See Copy One, Photos 9&10) Plant density varies . . n the small drainage with the highest densities found at the north and south greatly along � ends. The fact the densitydramatically decreases as you move away from the portions adjacent to the road's right of ways, is significant evidence that this density increase is not a xeroriparian influence. Number five, vegetation volume. The vegetation volume in the study area is significantly lower than.500 m3/m2 and does not fall within the range for"Low Xeroriparian"C"Habitats". Six transect were performed in typical and representative areas along the small drainage. None of the yp p transect's data resulted in a value of.500 m3/m2 or higher. Starting at the north end one's;two's;three's; and four's vegetation volume were .273 m3/m2, .273 m3/m2, transects 3 2 were located in fingered .319 m3/m2, and .304 m/m respectively. Transects five and six g south end in areas with vigorous and robust plant growth forms. Transect five's vegetation volume is .450 m3/m2. Transect six's vegetation volume is .461 m3/m2. An average of all these values combined results in a value of.347 m3/m2 significantly lower .500 m3/m2 and not within the range for"Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitats". 6 CONCLUSIONS designated small drainage currentlydesi mated as "Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitat" does not meet the criteria defmedapprovedprotocol in the for"Low Xeroriparian"C" Habitats". None of the parameters was supported byground investigation of the study area(small a drainage). The portions of the studyarea supporting the values closest to the definitions of"Low Xeroriparian "C" Habitats" are retention areas associated with the adjacent roads. (See Copy One, The small drainage discussed in this report is best Photos 11&12) described as an area of increased runoff due to sheet flooding. The increase in available moisture from retention and the confluence of sheet flooding account for the vegetation present, not a xeroriparian influence. The conclusions from an independent investigation performed in March 2003 bythe U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers supports the conclusion stated in this report. (See Addendum) 7 ADDENDUM (Information made available after the Report Submittal) meetingon Monday August 02, 2004, new information was While attending a follow-up brought toMr. E Esler's attention byMr. Robert Conant, Planner II, and Town of Oro ' representative. A Public Works Project by the Town of Oro Valley is currently Valley's will be addingflood control devices as part of the realignment of La under way and Tangerine Rd.. This project information was not conveyed to J.K.E. Bio- Consulting Blvd at g before or duringthe site investigation and report preparation. The information was shared three weeks after the evaluation report was submitted for review. additional pages are to be added to the findings and conclusion sections The following p g already submitted. Sheet number seven of the Public Works Project Plans and an aerial photograph are also included with the addendum. The Public Works Project consists of realigning La Cholla Blvd. at Tangerine Rd.. This alignment project includes the construction of two flood control devices. (See Plan Sheet) Onep of the improvements will have the effect of dramatically changing drainage patterns the immediate area. Drainage pattern changes are to be considered in the evaluation of xeroriparian areas and is an included parameter (number two) in the town- mandated protocol. Tangerine Tan erine Rd., east of La Cholla Blvd., is being elevated 3-6 ft. above the current elevation to remove some dips(low spots) previously found in the road. Tangerine Rd. will be widened also as part of the project. In addition two flood control devices (culverts) will be constructed in the section of Tangerine Rd. adjacent and east of realigned intersection. The western culvert will now allows sheet flooding that the g accumulate in the area adjacent to the northeast corner of the intersection to flow under Tangerine Rd., instead of the damming effect the road previously caused. Flow under the road is also diverted west to the southeast corner of the intersection and eastern side of La Cholla Blvd. right-of-way. The deep shoulder on the east side of La Cholla Blvd. the g is used as a channel for the flow's movement south. The eastern culvert is a safety flow release and will not divert flow under Tangerine Rd. under normal circumstances. 8 of three 45"pipes providing containment and drainage for The western culvert consists p p accumulates north and east of the the sheet flooding which intersection.

A major breach and sudden release o extremely dammed run off could be catastrophic. This culvert was added to release volume prior to accumulating potentially the otentiall dangerous amount of run off. This culvert will not experience flow under normal conditions. This improvement will only minimally have the potential of increasingrunoff into the private land adjacent and south. (Pers. Comm.) En ieering Division Manger, Project Manager, Town of Oro (Jose Rodriguez, P.E., Engieering Valley) Mrg . Rodriguez also stated this eastern culvert was necessary for a safety factor and included in plans the for the Public Works Project. Mr. Rodriguez stated that during extreme flood conditions, when the elevated road dammed enough runoff, flow could occur across the pavement causing cars to hydroplane off the pavement. This improvement (eastern culvert, x 3 36" pipes) addresses the safety concerns of the Town of Oro ValleY Engineering En ineering Department. (Pers. Comm.) (Jose Rodriguez, P.E., Engineering Division Manger, Project Manager, Town of Oro Valley) This improvement eastern culvert, 3x36" pipes)will infrequently flow for a short period adding no significant flow to the small drainage of concern. The majority of the time this improvement will have no effect on the small drainage therefore not changing any of the fmdings or the conclusion previously stated in the submitted report. 9 J.K.E. Bio-Consulting was made aware of another important source for consideration (Previous investigation ation of the small drainage and area by U.S. Army Crops. of Engineers) duringdiscussions with U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers prompted by the meeting with Mr. Conant on August 02,2004. At a subsequent meeting with Jose .E. Engineering Division Manger, Project Manager, Town of Oro Valley Rodriguez, P g g this pervious investigation vesti atireport was provide to Mr. Esler for review. This other field p investigation(Site Visit) of the area was performed by the U.S. Army Crops. of Engineers in March of 2003. A Section 404 Jurisdictional Delineation investigation and evaluation was perform on March 03,2003 which included the small drainage of concern and the close surroundingarea. Robert J. Dummar, Project Manager, Los Angeles this investigation.District, U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers, performed It is important to g note that the small drainage evaluated in this report was omitted from his delineation and deemed non-jurisdictional. Drainages located in the immediate areas west, east, and of the small drainage were delineated and deemed jurisdictional. (See Ariel south g Photograph#2) The area mention in this report in the Results Section Number one, described as the"be innin s of a water course"was perceived and concluded in the by g manner the investigator, Mr. Dummar. Mr. Dummar also determined that the same small drainage of concern, was not part of the delineated watercourse beginning west of the La Cholla Blvd. right-of-way. In addition, it is important to note that the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers does not regulate sheet flooding and would not delineate areas in g which sheet floodingis the influence. It is J.K.E. Bio-Consulting's conclusion that the small drainage of concern is best described as an area where sheet flooding concentrates and is retained. This concentration and retention accounts for the vegetation supported, not a xeroriparian influence. I have included Mr. Dummar's findings and conclusion indicated no an Ariel Photograph with J.K.E. Bio-Consulting's report. Mr. Dummar's conclusions are included as compelling and concurring evidence of the conclusion stated in this report. Mr. Dummar's entire report can be reviewed at the Town of Oro Valley Public Works Department. 10 moi• as.i AL-vv� ia..•a.1.• ,rev.Z•�A..6" Mat :HARR I S ENVIRONMENTAL GROW' FAX NO. :52a-62e-764B Apr. 06 2004 113*51 l P2 Post-Ir Fax Note 767.1 a j To ZSivey - * .‘: 11414110ir Phase 1 Alp -Lao - F"1 .Fel /dorl 6Arail 2004 A L Ar Bryant e Planning and Zoning Administrator Town of Oro Valley 11000 N.La Cada Drive Oro Valley,Arizona 85737 .

This method is a variation of the intercept technique(MacArthur and.Horn 1969). Vegetation vow transects should be located in areas that are representative of the overall vegetation. A 7 forestry pole Is held vertically at 1 meter intervals along a 2.5-m transect. Each vertical meter up the pole is divided into ten 1 decimeter (dxn) sections. Within ea& dm section of the pole, vegetation within a 1 dm radius of the pole is 'recorded, resulting in a of sample • cylinders. Each dm-cylinder that contains vegetation is recorded as a "hit." The total number of possible hits in each vertical meter layer is 10. A sample data forth is presented in Attachment A. • This technique overestimates actual vegetation volume because each dam.cylinder containing any vegetation, regardless of amount, is recorded as full.

La Canada Drive Oro Valley, Arizona 85737 RE: Parcel#224080020 Dear Mr. Vella, Harris Environmental Group, Inc. was contracted to determine if the drainage crossing the northwest corner of Oro Valley Parcel #224080020 qualifies as xeroriparian habitat, as defined in the Town of Oro Valley's Zoning Code. We conducted a field review of the drainage and reviewed a report prepared by JKE Bio-Consulting (JKE). Parcel #224080020 consists of 32.17 acres located on the southeast corner of La Cholla Boulevard (Blvd.) and Tangerine Road. We found that the drainage does not meet the criteria for xeroriparian habitat at the present time. However,because flow into this drainage will increase because of the improvements to Tangerine Road, the vegetative volume along the drainage will likely increase over time. If the vegetative volume increases significantly in response to the increased flow,the drainage could in time qualify as xeroriparian habitat as defined by the Town. Review Process The Town's Zoning Code (Chapter 2) defines xeroriparian habitat as areas: supported by intermittent or ephemeral stream flows. Typical species associated with this habitat type include mesquite,blue palo verde, desert willow, catclaw acacia, whitethorn acacia, desert hackberry and ironwood. Actual species composition is typically a function of the extent and frequency of stream flow. The Code's definition of xeroriparian habitat addresses two components of riparian habitat: hydrology and vegetation species composition. The Code further subdivides xeroriparian habitat based on vegetation volume and structure, and species composition. Finally, disturbance to the drainage patterns from development or flood control devices should be considered when delineating riparian habitat. Harris Environmental Group conducted a site visit to the parcel on 21 September 2004 and reviewed the report by JKE. Hydrology The drainage contained areas with a defined channel as well as areas where the flow dispersed into small,braided channels. For the first 400 to 500 feet south of Tangerine Road, the channel is relatively well defined and becomes 2 to 3 feet wide in places. As the drainage approaches La Cholla Blvd., the flow disperses into smaller,braided channels and appears to pool prior to crossing the road. ty. Harris Environmental Group,Inc. z Prior to the construction activities on Tangerine Road, upstream flow entered the parcel in a number of locations. However, with the improvements being installed as part of the current construction, much of the upstream flow will be concentrated into the drainage under review. Vegetation Species Composition During our site visit, we identified several vegetation species immediately adjacent to the drainage, including mesquite (Prosopis velutina), foothills paloverde (Parkinsonia microphyllum), catclaw and whitethom acacia (Acacia greggii, A. constricta), and desert hackberry (Celtis pallida). These species are listed in the Town's definition as the type of vegetation typically associated with xeroriparian habitat. These species also are present in the surrounding uplands: however, those near the drainage appear to be more densely spaced and larger in size, particularly in the area near La Cholla Blvd. This is evident in aerial photography of the area,which clearly shows a linear corridor of vegetation associated with the drainage,both upstream and downstream of the parcel (Figure 1). Total Vegetative Volume The Town's Code subdivides xeroriparian habitat into three categories based partially on Total Vegetative Volume (TVV). We did not measure TVV during our site visit, but six measurements of TVV along the drainage listed in the JKE report found values less than 0.500 m3/m2 and therefore below the Town's definition of Xeroriparian C Habitat. Based on conversations and field verifications with Mr. Jay Esler of JKE, we believe the methodology JKE used to determine TVV on this parcel was not consistent with the methodology originally developed by SWCA, Inc. Specifically, JKE did not record dead vegetation in its TVV values. These dead, rooted plants contribute to the overall structure of the vegetation, provide habitat for wildlife, and provide erosion control in areas of water flow. Depending on the season when TVV measurements are conducted, dormant or drought deciduous plants may be mistaken as dead and not included in the TVV. The inclusion of these plants also is consistent with the objective of habitat measurement as well as the purpose of the Town's Riparian Habitat Protection Overlay District. Finally, we confirmed the inclusion of dead, rooted plants as part of TVV with Dr. Margaret Livingston, University of Arizona (pers. comm. 4 October 2004) and Tom Furgason, SWCA (pers. comm. 4 October 2004). Dr. Livingston was a part of the Town's original riparian mapping project (McGann & Associates et al. 1995) and SWCA originated the use of TVV in defining riparian areas. Nevertheless, because most of JKE's TVV values for this drainage were relatively small, we don't believe inclusion of dead, rooted vegetation in the methodology would result in revised TVV values greater than 0.500 m3/m2. Therefore, we conclude that the volume of most of the vegetation associated with the drainage likely falls below the TVV values defined by the Town as xeroriparian habitat. Disturbance On the date of our site visit, Tangerine Road and La Cholla Blvd were under construction and new water conveyance structures were in place. Therefore, we were unable to confirm what conditions previously existed at the site. However, based on the hydrology and vegetation features of this drainage and it's perceptibility in aerial photographs, we believe the previous roads' alignments and elevations allowed water to flow from the north side of Tangerine Road into the drainage and subsequently across La Cholla Blvd. As part of the roadway improvements, the installation of three 36-inch reinforced concrete pipes will actually increase the amount of upstream flow entering this drainage. Town of Oro Valley Parcel#224080020 Xeroriparian Habitat HEG#04-174 Harris Environmental Group, Inc. Conclusion Based on our site review of Parcel #224080020 and evaluation of the hydrology, vegetation composition, vegetative volume, and disturbance, we found that the drainage does not meet the criteria for xeroriparian habitat at the present time. However, because flow into this drainage will increase because of the improvements to Tangerine Road, the vegetative volume along the drainage will likely increase over time. If the vegetative volume increases significantly in response to the increased flow, the drainage could in time qualify as xeroriparian habitat as defined by the Town. While we agree with the overall conclusion of the JKE report, our concurrence should not be considered as an endorsement of or an agreement with its methodology or reasoning.

We apologize for the delay in providing a response to your request. We have reviewed the information you provided and have the following comments regarding this action. The report prepared by J.K.E. Bio-Consulting concludes that the area located on the northwestern portion of the Khan parcel does not meet the criteria for designation as "Low Xeroriparian "C" Habitat". Our review of aerial photography of the site indicates that this area is clearly a drainage channel that is visually differentiated from the uplands by vegetation characteristics. However, the vegetation volume data presented in the J.K.E. Bio-Consulting report shows that vegetation volume is below the general cutoff for xeroriparian "C" habitats. It is important to note that the protocol provided by Harris Environmental Group points out the need to consider factors beyond vegetation volume, such as vegetation size and density, which would indicate the influence of increased water availability. Xeroriparian drainages provide valuable wildlife habitat. In this particular area, xeroriparian habitats are used by the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl (Glaucidium brasilianum cactorum) (pygmy-owl), a species listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Protection of xeroriparian areas is important for maintaining long-term habitat values for wildlife in urbanizing areas of Oro Valley. The segment of this drainage located on the Khan parcel does not meet all of the criteria to be classified as xeroriparian "C" habitat according to the protocol provided by Harris Environmental Group. It appears that the construction of both Tangerine Road and La Cholla Boulevard have influenced the flow within this drainage, resulting in greater plant sizes and densities adjacent to the roads because of ponding along these roadways. Reduced flow to the interior portions of this parcel appears to have reduced the influence of flows on the vegetation along the drainage as indicated in the materials provided. However, aerial photography clearly shows that this drainage still provides important xeroriparian habitat values for wildlife, including the pygmy- owl. Authority to decide the classification of this drainage rests with the Town of Oro Valley. n r-- Ms. Shirley Gay 2 However, we recommend that the Town consider the biological contributions of this drainage, not just the technical criteria for determining its classification. It is important to note that the designation of a drainage as jurisdictional by the Army Corps of Engineers does not necessarily include consideration of the biological values or vegetation characteristics of that drainage,but primarily water flows and other hydrological factors. We appreciate the opportunity to review this proposed action. If you have any questions regarding our comments, or need any additional information, please contact Scott Richardson at 520-670-6150 (x242) or Sherry Barrett (x223).

STAFF REPORT TO TOWN COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 19, 205 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Bayer Vella, AICP, Principal Planner SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE (0) -05-06, OV8-04-06, LAYNE LUNDEEN, REPRESENTING HEIGHTS PROPERTIES LLP, REQUESTS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW AN AUTOMOBILE SERVICE USE WITHIN A C-2 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, LOCATED WITHIN THE MERCADO DEL RIO CENTER LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PUSCH VIEW LANE, WEST OF ORACLE ROAD ON PARCEL NUMBER 224-28-143A. NATURE OF THE CUP REQUEST: Section 8-303.B.(1) of the Oro Valley Zoning Code, Revised (OVZCR) allows automobile service uses in C- 2 Districts only if a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is reviewed and recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and is subsequently authorized by the Town Council. The proposed brake shop (sales and installation) is subject to the following requirements: 1. Building pad and parking configuration for Lot 13 of the approved Mercado Del Rio Master Development Plan (0V12-03-22); 2. Landscaping of perimeter areas pursuant to the Mercado Del Rio Master Landscape Plan (0V12- 03-22); and 3. Conditions placed on this Project by the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or the Town Council as they deem necessary to meet the criteria and findings of Section 3-201. The Council's charge is to review the Project and insure that the brake shop use is compatible with the shopping center uses and the surrounding neighborhood. The Compliance Analysis section of this report describes how the Project addresses pertinent Town Code standards and conditions intended to assure land use compatibility. BACKGROUND: The Project site lies within the 17-acre "Mercado Del Rio" commercial subdivision which was approved as a Master Development Plan (MDP) and Preliminary Plat by Town Council on May 19, 2004 (0V12-03-22). It was also approved as a Final Plat by the Town Council on October 20, 2004. The 34,352 square foot(sf) Lot 13 is in an undisturbed state, covered with dense native vegetation, and abuts Pusch View Lane on its southern boundary. The site is accessed from Pusch View Lane from a private road within the subdivision called"Vuelta Caminata Del Rio". SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT: The proposed Project includes the following elements: • A 7,720 sf Brake Masters automobile service and brake sales, installation and repair facility; • An off-street parking lot providing 24 auto parking spaces and 2 bicycle parking spaces; TOWN OF ORO VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT: OV8-04-06 Page 2 • A 35-foot landscaped buffer yard on the south side of the site, adjacent to Pusch View Lane; • A 10-foot landscaped buffer yard on the east side of the site, adjacent to the Rooney Ranch shopping center "back of house" activities (delivery truck access and loading). The closest Target center structure is 155 feet away from the closest east-facing service bay; • A pedestrian pathway linking the Project to other lots within the center. The paving and plantings of this pedestrian pathway system would be uniform throughout the center; • Hours of operation: 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. • Service bays would be located on the east side of the building, facing the back of the shopping center retail and restaurant uses, and away from the street; • The 22 foot tall and single-story structure would be constructed with stuccoed masonry exterior walls. SURROUNDING LAND USES: North: There are two Mercado building pads directly north of this site. Beyond these commercial pads, there is the southern levee of the Canada Del Oro Wash. The bay doors will not be discernable from the proposed multi-use trail. South: Immediately south of the property is Pusch View Lane which is scheduled to be developed as a four lane thoroughfare connecting Oracle Road to Lambert Lane. Just south of Pusch View Lane are two subdivisions: on the eastern side of the property lies the fully-developed Rock Ridge apartment complex of the Cancha Del Golf subdivision; on the western side lies the sparsely-developed single family subdivision of the Mastro PAD. East: Immediately east of the property lies the Rooney Ranch Area D ("Target") shopping center, with the site abutting the"backside"of the building housing the"Risky Business"restaurant; and West: The Pusch View Lane extension will abut the property on its southern and western boundary. A portion of the original 19.1 acre site will lie west of the Pusch View Lane extension; this land has been dedicated to the Town for future development as a"Riverwalk"trail head. COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS • The Project meets the conditions and standards of the Mercado Del Rio Master Development Plan in which automobile service uses are limited to the five eastern-most lots, which includes Lot 13. • At a maximum of 22 feet to top of parapet, it meets the 30 feet building height limitation of the C-2 zoning district. • The Project meets the setbacks of the C-2 District and the east-facing service bays would shield indoor repair activity from view from Pusch View Lane and the apartments south of the roadway. Section 3-201, Use Permits: Conditional Use Permits may be granted based on consideration of the following criteria: A. That the granting of such conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare. In arriving at this determination, the factors which shall be considered shall include the following: TOWN OF ORO VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT: OV8-04-06 Pane 3 1. Damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination; In considering the potential for noise impacts to the nearest residential unit located in the Cancha De Golf apartments south of Pusch View Lane, staff referred to a noise study provided for a proposed brake shop at the Oracle Crossing Shopping Center. Points to consider: Location Distance to Orientation of Separation Ambient Noise nearest Bay Doors Level Apartment Oracle Crossing 237 feet Facing east and Parking area and 57dba (Primarily Brake Shop Oracle Road — bufferyard from Oracle Road apartments to noise) the south. Mercado Del 170 feet Facing east and Pusch View For road Rio Brake Shop Oracle Road Lane, 4 lane road construction, the (Back of Target with design Town commissioned Center)— speed of 50 mph a noise study for apartments to points along Pusch the south. View Lane. Readings and projections were made from many vantage points. Seven points within the apartment complex were utilized. The projected ambient noise level for the year 2020 ranged from 50 to 60 dBA. For the Oracle Crossing project, the study concluded that noise will radiate up to 45 degrees from the open face of the bay doors. The primary source of noise are the hydraulic wrenches (85-93dBA at the source). It was determined that the noise produced would still impact the apartments to the south beyond the ambient noise level without appropriate mitigation. Recommended mitigation specified the following: • option of incorporating wing walls on the building or a 6 foot high wall at the property line (vegetation has a minimal beneficial effect) to reduce the noise by approximately 10 dba's. • incorporation of interior sound insulation to create a quieter environment for employees. An assumption was made that it would cause employees to minimize noise generated. Absent a noise study specific to Mercado Del Rio site, it appears the Oracle Crossing study poses a roughly analogous situation. It would be prudent to provide for a similar wall system that includes options to be ultimately reviewed by the Development Review Board for aesthetic fit(see Exhibit A). TOWN OF ORO VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT: OV8-04-06 Page 4 2. Hazard to persons and property from possible explosion, contamination,fire or flood; The Project must meet all Code safety requirements for commercial occupancies and the proposed use. Potentially hazardous materials associated with automobile repair would be contained and disposed of as required by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the Fire Marshal. 3. Hazard occasioned by unusual volume or character of traffic. Access to the site will likely be from the Vuelta Caminata Del Rio roadway entered from the north side of Pusch View Lane. Pusch View Lane is part of the Town's Oracle Road Improvement District. The Town is extending Pusch View Lane over the Canada Del Oro wash to Lambert Lane as a four lane divided highway section. These improvements will provide sufficient capacity to the area highway network for this and other projects planned for the Oracle Road corridor. B. That the characteristics of the use proposed in such use permit are reasonably compatible with types of uses permitted in the surrounding area as required in Sec. 3-201B. The proposed use would be compatible with the commercial subdivision which will include other automobile service uses on the five easternmost lots, as well as retail, restaurant and office uses on the other lots. Motorists traveling Pusch View Lane would be buffered from headlight glare by a planned landscape buffer and 3 foot high masonry screen wall facing Pusch View Lane. Staff is concerned; however, about the potential view into the bay doors and occasional repair activity in front of the bay doors (outdoor repair activity is prohibited—it still occurs on occasion and staff must witness an infraction to enforce). Absent additional screening, both types of repair activity could be viewed by apartment residents in the one and two story units and motorists traveling west along Pusch View Lane. The view of repair activity could be partially blocked by installing a six foot high screen along a portion of the southern and eastern property boundaries. Screening options have been included within Exhibit A. To insure the design is comprehensive in aesthetic and impact, the ultimate screening design will be evaluated by the Development Review Board as part of Landscape Plan review. GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE: The General Plan designates this area as Commercial which allows for the proposed automotive service use in a commercial center. Staff finds the proposed brake shop use, subject to the conditions of Exhibit A, would be in compliance with the General Plan. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENT: All property owners within 600 feet of the site have been notified of the public hearing in accordance with the public notification requirements. To date, no public comments have been received. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT: OV8-04-06 Page 5 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTION: On December 7, 2004, the Commission acted as follows: MOTION: Commissioner Bistany MOVED to recommend approval of OV8-04-06, the request for a brake shop on Lot 13 of the Mercado Del Rio center, subject to the conditions described in Exhibit A, with #3 modified to ensure that the east side wall from a design standpoint should be compatible with the south wall and provide sufficient screening for the bay doors. Commissioner Kinared seconded the motion. Motion carried 6 yes, 0 no. The Commission and applicant were concerned about the following staff recommendation: 3. The view of repair activity must be partially blocked by installing a six foot high wall along the southern property edge (commencing at a point parallel with the bays) and continuing it along the eastern property boundary to a point terminating at the far edge of the northern-most bay. Furthermore, vegetation must be provided to accentuate the screening effect of the wall via growth that will extend higher than the wall. The extent and type of vegetation shall be reviewed and approved by the Development Review Board as part of Landscape Plan approval. Ultimately, the Commission and applicant felt the condition was too specific. Each requested that the final design be evaluated by the Development Review Board to insure compatibility. With regard to the potential noise issue presented earlier, staff reported via the Commission memorandum that "it is anticipated that noise from air wrenches etc. would not be discernable from the nearest residential yard or home. This statement has not been technically verified via a noise study." After the public hearing, planning staff further researched the issue via the Town's Pusch View Construction Project Noise Study and the Oracle Crossing Brake Shop Noise Study. As a result, mitigation is being proposed as mentioned previously. Staff has met with the applicant to discuss language that addresses the aforementioned staff, applicant, and Commission concerns. As a result, condition number 3 has been revised and number 4 is new. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: FACTORS FOR: 1. The proposed brake shop and automobile service use, with the conditions listed in Exhibit A, would have no adverse impacts to property owners, workers, visitors or shoppers/customers of the commercial center, and would have no adverse impacts to residents of and visitors to the adjacent residential uses to the south. 2. The pad is ideally situated behind the Target Center to minimize view and noise impacts. 3. This pad and others were envisioned as automotive uses as part of the Master Development Plan review process. 4. The Planning&Zoning Commission has recommended conditional approval. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT: OV8-04-06 Page 6 FACTOR AGAINST: 1. Without appropriate mitigation,there will be view and noise impacts for travels along Pusch View Lane and residents of the apartments to the south. SUGGESTED MOTIONS: I move to approve OV 8-04-06, the request for a brake shop on Lot 13 of the Mercado Del Rio center, subject to the conditions described in Exhibit A. OR I move to approve OV 8-04-06, the request for a brake shop on Lot 13 of the Mercado Del Rio center, subject to the conditions described in Exhibit A and the following additional condition(s): OR I move to deny OV8-04-06, the request for a brake shop on Lot 13 of the Mercado Del Rio center, finding that: Attachments: 1.
